We find ourselves in a season that reveals a plethora of things about the history of this universe, how the card system works, our characters' pasts, and especially the link between Finn and this Dark Knight. I won't go into too much detail about the story to avoid spoilers. Instead, I'll concentrate on the technical aspects and the storyline.
DA: 8.5
Animation: 8.3
OST's : 10
The technical aspect remains just as high quality as in season 1. Despite a few moments that were a little average, notably on the characters' faces, the overall animation was really well done. I'm thinking in particular of the Theo/Ban fight in the cemetery and the final confrontation in episode 12. As for the AD, I was blown away by the series' consistency in offering us a subtle blend between a monarchical universe typical of the Middle Ages and a certain modernity reminiscent of the United Kingdom. As for the series' greatest quality, it's obviously the ost's without a doubt. Jazz is my favorite musical style, so maybe I'm a little biased, but I found this soundtrack simply perfect. To blend flute and saxophone so seamlessly to create such upbeat jazz shows great talent but also great knowledge of this musical world.
History: 8
Characters: 9
Character development: 8.5
Worldbuilding :
However, despite a rich and complex universe, there were times when I found myself a little lost in the various explanations, particularly those surrounding the creation of the Joker, his purpose and the true history of the kingdom of Fourland. As for the characters and their development, we find ourselves in a fairly classic construction, but one that works very well in this case. Ban and Theodore's flashbacks moved me, and their confrontations were the pinnacle of their development. As for the story, it was greatly fleshed out in season 2. The end of s1 was a bit of a letdown for me, but this s2 brought me back to the series after that slight loss of interest.
I'll end my review by saying that this series is the perfect compromise for anime fans and fans of works such as Kingsman. Despite a final rating as catastrophic as that of Blue Exorcist Illuminati saga (I seriously don't understand the fans), I recommend that you ignore the rating and embark on this incredible story that will take you through a rollercoaster of emotions and leave an indelible mark, just like 91 Days can.
