The design quality takes a rather big hit this time around. Some of the character designs look horribly unproportional. Take a look at this scene, for example. I've never seen a character's head looking so inflated before. It's like someone has stuck a huge balloon on top of a body. The strange thing is that the drawing is actually neat and tidy so it's obviously not a mistake because the animator was in a hurry. The story is also a bit uninspiring this time around with more focus on action and less on character development. It actually doesn't matter much when I was watching it but I find it hard to talk about when I have to provide some kind of impression about the episode. I really can't wait until Shishio Gen, the guy that you see fighting in the OP theme, joins the team. I think that's when the story starts to take off in a big way.
