Completed all FMP! in the last month. Ended with second raid today.
I
first season either didn't age well or it's straight average, I'm not even talking about the animation cause it's rather old looking by today's standards, but the overall structure of direction feels weird. The character interactions feel forced and the writing isn't any good. The supposed impact scenes are cringy to say the least. Now, the characters themselves aren't bad.. makes it watchable. The schools comedy parts are legit fun in several cases...
Fumoffu!
It's fun, I mean it takes what was best of the first season and explores it. Animation and art clearly got a upgrade here, thanks to KyoAni. Not all is great tho, got pacing issues that kill some jokes to me, the new characters are rather forgettable and not funny.. so it's hit or miss all season. but it's better than the 1st season for sure.
Second raid.
After Fumoffu I was aware it wouldn't have much comedy in it, and considering it was the part I liked about it, my expectations were quite low.. while I expected good animations sequences (KyoAni doing it again), the drama was so sub par so far that I couldn't expect much. Now it started withing my expectations, the first LN covered was about as good as the best the 1st season offered me on those parts. But, thankfully, it gets better the main character gets a massive character development, the general story heats up, the pacing gets way better... the new character add positive to the mix. And the last 5-6 eps are quite good, ep 9 in particular is top.
So yeah, looking forward to the next season.
