garooob a écrit:What are your overall thoughts on season 2?
If that was ,as I believe, a general question,,,,
Season 2 was an unexpected delight. Season 1 was so good and from the little clues and rumors I'd heard about season 2, I was afraid they would loose at least some of the charater story in favor of more action on Lyoko, and I wasn't really in favor of including an adult Franz Hopper.
The addition of Yumi's little brother changed her family dynamic in a direction I didn't, and don't, like. It was a pointless character that disrupted Yumi's character base.
William on the other hand, while I didn't like him from the getgo as Ulrich's rival for Yumi, did add a dimension to the U/Y relationship that I liked, and was at it's best in
"Wrong Turn".
"Real" Aelita staying at the school with the others was handled well in the stories and was something I wanted this season.
Sissi slight character tempering and her inclusion in the actual Lyoko story was a real treat, especially in
"Ultimatum"
The new Lyoko vehicles, which really bothered me when I first heard about them, turned out to be great action to watch,,, especially when Aelita used them herself as she began showing a more independant character as she uesd their mobility to delite in showing off new tricks and openly defying monsters.
The 3D Lyoko animation was much improved and showed more character expressions and physical action,,, particularly Yumi with her double fans
and I like that they kept the fanservice and added new clothes for many character situations,,, including swimsuits. I was disapointed that season1
"Log Book" they never got to the pool
The last two shows were real "nailbiters", full of emotion.
Overall, a really good season for a great show.
