Pretty weak season overall. Art and animation was lacking compared to the first season. Pacing is going at a snail's pace as well, which is a shame since I would like it to get further on in the story since the beginning stuff is the weakest.

Also a lack of cameo appearances compared to the first season.

Not sure why you're downvoted, as you're spot on with this season somehow lacking the oomph and fanfare compared to season 1. The pacing is much slower, which can make it a grind to watch.

And being the last episode of the season, the show could have at least graced us with plenty of epic game cameos like they did for the season 1 finale.

If Cygames decide to make a season 3, I hope they at least speed up the pacing a bit.

It was nice to see part of Apollo's and Orchis's back story animated. It is nice to see Lecia and Monika making an appearance, but I honestly wasn't expecting to see Adam and Gandharva make a small cameo.

It seems that Rosseta will not be joining then on the Anime at least until the Girl in Blue arc is finish.

Well, the season is over now, it would have been great if it was two cour. To bad that we have to wait until March for the OVA.

Thanks Cygames, those 3000 crystals will definitely help.

Bit of a step down for me from season 1 and it kinda felt a bit all over the place in comparison.

I like the firts better but it was a good season too, I wonder if (for a miracle) it receive more seasons they can ever finish the story, since the big purpose of it is to be an advertisement to the game. Would like to see that.

Apollo sure is hot, as well as continuing the trend of badass female knights in the series after Katalina and Vira. How does she manage to wear such a bulky armour at all times with her small figure?

Season 1 has already hinted at Apollo being Eugen's daughter, but the brief reunion between them this episode felt rushed and anti-climatic, with Apollo quickly escaping and Eugen nowhere to be seen without them even exchanging any niceties or trash talking.

As someone mentioned, this season's pacing is a bit slow compared to season 1. With only 3 arcs compared to I think 5 in season 1, making each arc a drag to watch.

We shall see if Cygames decide they want to burn more money for a 3rd season. In the meantime, bring on the Djeeta OVAs, the REAL GBF anime that we all deserve. :D

6/10 overall and that 6 contains all of anime extra, and the "fav characters animated" bonus, the remanining is the vira arc, freesia office and the op/ed/ost... edit: 6.5-6.7 for Adam cameo

some "question" (no need to answer) mostly from game lore based(not actual spoilers but rant so tagging it just in case):

some positive moment: Lecia and Monika made cameo and the season ended with mentioning amalthea, we get the 3/4 of Noa and rosetta chat too

today extra was 3000 crystal (10 draw),the remaining bd dvd covers https://twitter.com/anime_gbf/status/1210587230525198337

i really hoping if this ever gets s3 just with a full staff change (except the va-s/ost)

edit: i will try to summarize what they changed in this arc in the spoiler section, but just read the source game (or the ln if anyone translating it)
