Lack of supernatural? The whole game system is purely supernatural. The first season seemed to have some quantum space communication a la most Gundam shows, but this time we already have Sekai somehow linking his own body to the game, so it's not that different and nothing says he won't be talking via telepathy either before the end.

My problem is that the battles before the last few eps were unexciting. I couldn't give a damn about them, and there were no promising opponents being foreshadowed or anything. The first season had a different feeling being international and quite soon we were already looking at real mofos from all over the world, and the main characters themselves were preparing to fight them from the very beginning. Now we watched the MCs getting ready to fight another club from the same school, the neighbouring school, the schools from the same city, the schools from neighbouring cities... Blah. It's like trying to get excited over watching local sports teams of some foreign country playing against each other. Who could care less when you'd really be interested in the world championship?

I admit I wouldn't mind if the meaningful fights, when they finally arrive for this season, would indeed end in a proper manner instead of the kinds we saw too often in the season one. But the settings for the fights in the first season were better.
