It's always been great, but season 2 has in the last handful episodes come into its own in a way that is almost frightening. It's going to be a real interesting at the end of the year to see whether I pick it or March comes in like a lion for my #1.

I feel like Yotaro's relationship with everyone, Yakumo especially, has been the most engrossing part of the story thus far for me and the primary reason why I'm getting so into season 2.

The reveal of what really happened when Sukeroku died was one of the most utterly unexpected scenes I've seen in an anime in years.
This was probably the moment where everything about S2 (and really S1 in retrospection) clicked for me. So great.

The cut to what I presume are manga panels during Yakumo's performance was stylistically super cool and especially emotionally resonant.

And that's a wrap. That is one cool family. So the implication is that Yakumo was Shinnosuke's biological father??

The second season was really special. Yotaro is understandably absent for most of the first season and he provides an emotional core to the overall story that really brings it all together. And for a change we got an ending that delivered on just about every possible front. Not to disparage the first season at all of course, since in the end it's all one giant narrative that works best when taken as a whole.

The director's cut of episode 1 (not available on crunchyroll) is really great, and maybe I'm not able to remember the original all that well but like 90% of it seemed new to me.
