I think the True Route illustrated how well the show can actually work without Kirino. I'm much more invested in Kyousuke/Kuroneko.
I was a little thrown initially by the shift but i'd agree, perhaps we'll get some Kirino free eps in S2.

On the watching front - Qwaser of Stigmata 13-24
I'd heard it was a train wreck in the 2nd half and it certainly derailed itself a few episodes in with a seemingly totally unrelated to the main plot episode, and not the good character building kind. It then proceeded to introduce a whole baddie team who got basically no development. It's almost like some 12 ep shows that spend too much time messing round and then have to rush the finale except they managed to do it with 24. I'm still amazed they released it tbh, and they certainly didn't put much effort in, overlapping song and dialogue subs, small words missing from some subtitles and flicker on some horizontal lines.
