Sosuke and Kaname get a taste of normal life, but normal doesn't last when a new enemy group with a grudge against Mithril shows up. Genres: Mecha, Military, Action, Drama, Sci-Fi Studio: Kyoto Animation Source: Light Novel Jack's Score: 7/10 Rick's Score: 7/10 Verdict: A heavier, more grown up season than the first, with real stakes and character growth, even if some of the plot still feels shoehorned in.
