Initially, I thought Season 2 strayed from Season 1's style, but the stage drama exploration expertly set up a shocking twist, revitalizing the Aquamarine-Ruby storyline. A thrilling ride for fans; now, we eagerly await Season 3, it is definitely a must see for anyone who enjoys Season 1.
However, I found the OP and ED songs to be less captivating compared to Season 1, lacking the same impact and memorability.

Wtf, unexpectedly amazing sequel to an already good 1st season. The first season peaked at the 1st episode, but the rest was not up to par (still good).
Meanwhile this one simply comes in waves. You got nice pacing in the build up, ended with awesome climaxes. Overall, more complex characters are also getting introduced.
The art product (both theatrical perofrmance and MV) are also actually great products.

Picks up beautifully from where season 1 left off. A definite rollercoaster in terms of emotions for both the viewer and the characters. Lots of personal growth and lots of darkness involved. Season 3 will have a big name to maintain because they have kept the bar at the top.

16, male, , actorAn actor or actress is a person who acts in a dramatic production and who works in film, television, theatre, or radio in that capacity. The ancient Greek word for an "actor", ὑποκριτής (hypokrites), means literally "one who interprets"; in this sense, an actor is one who interprets a dramatic character., blue eyesThis character has blue-colored eyes., competentDoes his\her job well., deadpanA deadpan person is one who deliberately and constantly maintains an impassive, expressionless face. The term, which arose in the 1920s as combination of "dead" and "pan", slang for the face, may also apply to the face itself. Contrarily to someone who is emotionally stunted, there is nothing uncommon about the emotions of someone deadpan; they merely suppress the transmission of their feelings to their expression., elegantno description set, humanModern humans are the only extant members of the subtribe Hominina. Together with chimpanzees, gorillas, and orangutans, they are part of the family Hominidae. Terrestrial animals, humans are characterized by their erect posture and bipedal locomotion; high manual dexterity and heavy tool use compared to other animals; open-ended and complex language use compared to other animal communications; larger, more complex brains than other animals; and highly advanced and organized societies., idolIdols are young media personalities who are considered particularly cute and cuddly and who will, for a period ranging from several months to a few years, regularly appear in the mass media, e.g. as singers for J-pop groups, bit-part actors, TV personalities, models in photo spreads published in magazines, advertisements, etc. Virtual idols are animated characters created as idols. They are often also vTubers and/or vloggers., perceptiveno description set

16, female, , bishoujoIn the West, bishoujo are attractive girls generally from late childhood or early adolescence to late adolescence, especially those that appeal to males, and particularly fictional characters designed in a way traditionally associated to shoujo manga.

Ethnically speaking, a reasonable real life metric for fair skin is the skin colour of people normally said to be "white"., idolIdols are young media personalities who are considered particularly cute and cuddly and who will, for a period ranging from several months to a few years, regularly appear in the mass media, e.g. as singers for J-pop groups, bit-part actors, TV personalities, models in photo spreads published in magazines, advertisements, etc. Virtual idols are animated characters created as idols.

But expect to see a substantial amount of variety., sidelocksSidelocks are long locks of hair that come down the side of the face, passing in front of the ears. Sidelocks do NOT count as long hair., skirtA skirt is a tube- or cone-shaped piece of clothing that hangs from the waist and covers the legs partially or fully. Skirts are often seen as garments for women, but exceptions exist. In anime, they`re almost always worn by women, generally as school uniform or workplace garments, and a man with one will likely be cross-dressing. Skirts that go below the knee are usually associated with strict rules and at times with winter, though even in winter anime schoolgirls in miniskirts can be found., yellow hairThe character has yellow hair. This does not map precisely to real-life blond hair.
