Could not swallow that.

So far this series lacks the subtlety of its predecessor. Some of the drama in this was rather forced and important plot points like the one above were very hard to swallow. The music is so hit and miss in this as well. Some of it is quite lovely, like the ED theme in particularly, yet some is really tacky, such as the music that played in the action scene.

Nobody said anime is more mature and that somehow you're obligated to watch it, if you don't understand it, stop watching it! What's with all this complaining about Pino not killing her anyway. It's like complaining some gang leader not chowing bauble gum anymore is somehow the end of the world.

...or you just don't follow it. If everything seems too stupid to you, that's an indication You are the problem.
There are no anime that are purposely made to be "bad"/unlicked.

Some sequels are just not meant to appeal again for a certain portion of the fans.
Its real, it happens, if you're the unlucky bastard this time too bad for you...

I'm personally enjoying the show; it's smart, serious and has some personality.
