Bastard

[Death BOO Z]

season 2: one bad thing, and then two better things so it won't be non stop negative.

ep2 - I saw the lineup of the baddies and there are too many of them! even if they send out multiple of time for each episode, the show will still drag itself and we won't get to the plot finish line.

good things: there are some angles in which Yoko looks like Lina Inverse, which is a vast improvement. also, the ED animation sequence is much more anime, like a prince of tennis lineup, it's not interesting and it doesn't fit the show, but at least it lets some personality of the characters pass through.

ep6 - (bad) great, more attempted rape played as comedy. (good) it's better than the first season, also looks like characters actually have human motivations.
ep9 - (bad) sure, teleport, why not. (good), when it's comedy, it's ok. and we finally got 10 minutes of actual lore and background on the world, finally.
ep12 - (bad) don't show us him hikaru genjing the little girl, it's bad enough that we know the history, but they can at least hide the creepy parts. (good) some more background lore, and I really like how steel threads guy and worms dude are friends and work together, winning the "best baddies" award by being the only ones who step up to bat.

ep15-finale. (bad) "please forgive your him for killing me, he did it because he wanted to", and now it's time to have the bad guys do 180. (good) not sure?

I can't tell if it's bad writing or a too much planned-out story that's supposed to not make sense until all the facts are laid out. the fantasy/sci-fi elements aren't mixing well for me. is the demon supposed a computer virus (maybe AI?), it has some computer effects, it was created as such, and is named like a virus. but then there are also eons of fantasy myth, which bring a different narrative core, and the whole thing is never addressed.
