![]() ![]() If you watched season 1 of the anime I would recommend you read the manga either from the beginning or where you left off at round 4. Even though it's improved I would still recommend the manga over the anime for anyone experiencing these fights for the first time. The improved pacing and animation is what this show needed. ![]() The main takeaway is season 2 is a sizable step up from season 1. This isn't a huge issue but it would be nice to have a wider soundtrack.Īs of writing this review 10/15 episodes have been released but if Buddha vs Zero is adapted as well as the others, my score will likely stay the same. My main criticism is the music catalogue while good is rather small and they end up reusing songs multiple times. I get the significance of a child singing the song but I found the instrumental version more menacing. Though I wished they only used the instrumental version for 'London Bridge Is Falling Down'. The style of music matches the fighters and the environment in backstories. All the fighters in this season had interesting personalities that were expressed during their fights. They made a terrible murderer into a really compelling character and was really interesting watching him fight. Jack is probably one of my favorite characters in the show. The voice acting performances (in JP) were great across the board and each voice actor fits the character. The colorful cast emphasizes the differing backgrounds of the characters. One of the things I really like about this series is that there aren't many dull characters. In season 2 most of the episode (in non-backstory eps) was fighting which was really nice to see. And when people comment on the fight it will usually be to deliver relevant information. There were a lot less crowd shots (thank god) and they would reuse the same shots less. Before you realized it the fighters only threw 2 attacks and the episode was already half over. They would also use the same 4 shots for the crowd which was very noticeable and annoyed me while watching. The focus would keep shifting away from the fight to the spectators giving comments sometimes being monotonous. The pacing was one of my biggest issues with season 1. Though the CGI looked a little sketchy at times it was overall pretty good. It made the fights seem a lot more dynamic with more movement. They also started using CGI in the fights which looked surprisingly good considering their sub par CGI in season 1. It's nothing crazy but you can diffidently see the difference in But to my surprise the animation saw noticeable improvement this season. I was nervous about these fights because of the slideshow that was Adam vs Zeus in season 1. All of these fights are great in their own way my personal favorite being Herc vs Jack. Season 2 features the fights Hercules vs Jack the Ripper, Shiva vs Raiden Tameemon, and Buddha vs Zerofuku/Hajun. Going into season 2 my expectations were on the floor but I'm happy to say I'm pleasantly surprised. As one of my favorite manga I was pretty disappointed with season 1. ![]()
