Season 2 has started, so time to employ Necromancy on this thread. We never really talked about the tv series during a forum dead period, and nobody talked about the 2nd OVAs either (it was OVA-original anyway. The manga jumps right to this arc).

It just immediately jumps into the academy arc without any recap, so I'm a little lost. I mostly remember all the events, but not the names associated with them.

Visually, it also is framed a bit weird. It feels like most shots are zoomed in, but the overall animation quality is still quite high.

It feels right though. All the cast sound exactly as they did, it still has its hypnotic mystery vibe, and I'm intrigued by the undertone of conspiracy and hidden threats. Elias and Chise were invited into a very dangerous situation it seems, and while Chise it taking it as an opportunity for personal growth; a chance to move past being a Thing used by the mystic world, and a Magus in her own right, able to act rather than merely throw herself into the fray.
