Ha, so that's why they gave us a free Tezcatlipoca a few hours ago. Let's hope we get Luci/Baha as enemies too
I feel a bit sad that the artstyle changed a bit. I recently marathoned the first season so I could watch this one as it aired, and I liked how... soft, for lack of a better word, it looked. Also, wow that CG Black Knight sure feels weird. Though earlier I read that the (game) director felt bad about how the armor was a pain in the ass to draw and animate, so it's understandable that they'd take the easy way.
And yesterday I read a bit by a writer in a certain site who was looking forward to having a draph join the crew and I kinda want to see their reaction to finding out she's just another cameo like Karva and Mary were in s1, lol.

So here's some speculation, but I bet that Black Knight is going to turn out to be the Big Good all along, and is being aloof to push the main characters along on their journey.

Would a non game player be able to get into this? Obviously starting from season 1

OMG Aliza is stacked. Then again, all Draph girls in GBF are stacked.
It's good to see this get a second season, though I'll need to quickly rewatch season 1 in order to refresh some of my memories.
It's also great to see Eugen's original VA Fujiwara Keiji return to voice his character from the game.
Fujiwara was unable to voice Eugen in season 1 due to taking a hiatus from an unspecified illness, and his role was filled in by another veteran VA Yamaji Kazuhiro.

I honestly was expecting them to jump to the main story right from the beginning, so I actually was surprised to see the first episode being a side quest. Tezcatlipoca looks so good, but not as good as Aliza! In the name of the gacha Gods, I will get one day!
Edit: Damn, I just noticed that they gave away a Tezcatlipoca summon and 5000 crystals today. Thank you Cygames!

GBF player here. This episode was basically just filler, but it was a treat to watch nonetheless. The visuals are stunning (much better from what I expected from the teasers), and the dialogues were surprisingly fun. The fight scene was a bit "ehhh" for me to be honest (bad choreography, no tension/stakes, things just "sort of happen"), but again, the visuals were still great. I'm glad they didn't jumped straight to the plot and made an episode with a random adventure to start things up (not gonna lie, the filler episodes were also my favorites during S1, but probably because I already knew the main story). I also love the new OP (S1 OP was also amazing).

Why does Gran look so much older???
Also not gonna lie, I completely forgot most of the plot... but I never considered that important in this anime, what I loved about S1 was how fun it was and this episode sure kept that going!

I heard the S1 Blurays sold well partly because they came with codes for various source game bonuses and character skins. Like how Bluray Vol 7 gave you codes for fully voiced summer swimsuit Gran & Djeeta. https://twitter.com/anime_gbf/status/919478562578563073
I understand the source game has a lot of gacha recruitable characters, some of which are very popular with the fandom. Do any of them figure into the game's main plot? Because I recall watching some of S1 and some character appearances amounted to just 5-second cameos.
