The whole gang back together after 2,000 years as expected of Anos
this series started well from s1 but now... im not sure if its good or bad anymore lol
it was never good, season 1 was fun to watch purely because of anos just doing anos things with his goofy ass one-liners. when you veer from all of that in season 2 to deliver a half baked, nonsensical plot with egregious pacing you lose the only reason why people watch your show. i hope in the next part we get more "did you think killing me would be enough to make me die?" instead of whatever tf was going on here
This whole season felt like mixed mess of plot armor bs, i know it was already heavily influenced by plot armor but atleast it was funny, cool or badass. This was just painfully boring, full of extreme convenience. Like oh instead of seeing how smart Anos is during that card game thing about who was the Child of God instead Anos just rigged it for himself. Or how all his subordinates betrays him so he just goes to the past and changes it.
And i dont agree with your take on "did you think killing me would be enough to make me die?" didnt you notice how they put 70+ different versions of it i think i see what you mean you want him to actually say it, but imo It was cool the first time now find something better.
Then again how are you supposed to make a super OP character that never loses interesting for more than 1 season, when they put basically all the recipes into the first season.
I might be wrong but i feel like these 5 are a common recipe that we see a little too often

i admit i watched it when it was airing (so mandatory 6 month break), i also distinctly remember not caring much for the first 6 episodes so if they were all stacked during them it'd make sense why i don't remember it as well. the second half though i felt tried very hard to shift the focus on characters that i just didn't care for in the slightest.
i agree with you when you say how can you make a super OP character interesting for more than a season, it's borderline impossible. i think the only way to do it realistically would be to make a season 1: 2 electric boogaloo. i think this shows only merit was the fact that anos just did dumbass shit that made it fun to watch as a comedy, and i felt like they just toned that down immensely during this season to focus on a haphazard, nonsensical plot.
I think it was way more during the second half of airing. I just couldnt help but notice how many there were.
It seemed like they tried to make a serious season, but it just doesnt work when they had a half serious first season. I can't really think of any anime with an OP MC that does that well, being a season/entire show that is very serious and doesnt focus on comedy and goofy one-liners.
They tried atleast and failed miserably, but im not watching season 3 which im guessing is gonna happen.
Im not normally one to really criticize a show usually i just complete it and hate it for myself, but after loving the first season i just couldnt ignore how bad this was imo lol
