I'm the lead trumpet player, playing loud and high is all I know how to do.

Years back when the chapter this episode ended on came out, I made a really lovely edit because this fella reminded me of someone.










Hopefully now there is video someone can actually do it justice. I'm poo poo with video

I may or may not make this my project, quoting for future reference though

:tviv:



I enjoyed this season a lot more than the first season. While the first season certainly had spice, and some of the greatest action sequences I've ever seen in anime, it was ultimately bogged down by too much shounen nonsense and dragging pace in places it really shouldn't have dragged.

All of that was addressed this season at the price of a few less hype action scenes, and I'm ok with paying for that. The story, dialogue, and pace were all tightened up, and the action was still fun to watch. And we've even got clear expectations for a continuation, which is wonderful.

Random tangent: I didn't like this season's OP song because I thought it tried too hard to be a secondary copy of the 1st season's 1st OP song, rather than become its own thing. If the first season was more high-impact action and the second season was more horror mystery, the songs should have adjusted in theme to adapt as well.
