I don't know, I felt this series was kind of boring compared to the first, and I'm honestly not sure I will watch any subsequent seasons. Unless there's nothing else to watch in the middle of the week.

It wasn't as bad as Code Geass R2's first half where they redid the entire first season with nation-palette swaps, but a lot of this season felt like a retread. There wasn't that same level of excitement where they are rediscovering new technologies piece by piece, struggling for each vital ingredient.

It felt more like the mini-arc with the mine where, "oh gee, we found nearly every difficult-to-find mineral we could possibly need."

Compare the creation of the vacuum tubes last season to basically any invention this season. There wasn't that struggle and iteration, the learning process in the craftsmanship. Senku knew what part they needed and poof, they had it and they completed it.

I think the only episode that really compares is the Chrome in Prison one, but even then, he's literally handed the secret ingredient.

There's certainly some element of 'Technology Simply Accelerates,' and it builds on itself that makes sense. Senku was solo for an entire year still in the stone age while he was figuring out the revival fluid's first steps to safely bring back Taiju.

There were characters I liked. Characters who were smarter or better at something than the leads. Nikki is a great example, and one of the better additions to the cast. She couldn't be tricked by their technological and psychological bullshit because she was a super fan. And she wasn't angry about them trying to trick her.

But this season didn't really have that spark that the first season had, where I was really fired up to watch the next episode each week.
