The timespan indicated that ufotable originally made two seasons I bet they wanted to see Blu-ray sales before releasing the second one. They wanna make sure that they can afford to let the second season take up air time.

Clearly it was a good idea though! Visually the anime is a 10/10. I just wish we had more to enjoy and work with story-wise. It's good, just predictable.

Ah I know what you mean. Season 1 was great though. Like Fate/Stay Night but less... Dark. And of course Tales of Symphonia.

Synopsis

This is the 2nd Season of Tales of Zestiria the X (Cross).

Sorey is a human youth who grew up among the ‘Seraphim’ (tenzoku), spiritual beings not visible to humans. Sorey believes in the folklore that says that long ago, every human was able to see the Seraphim, and he dreams of unravelling the ancient mystery to make the world a place where people and Seraphim can live together in peace.

One day, Sorey visits the human capital for the very first time. He becomes embroiled in an incident during which he pulls out a holy sword imbedded in a rock and ends up becoming a Shepherd, one who casts calamity away from the world. He begins to realize the gravity of his mission, and his dream of the coexistence between mankind and Seraphim becomes more intense.

And thus, the Shepherd embarks on an amazing journey with his companions.

Three Episode Impression

Welp… they are back. When the first season was on air a few months ago, the general consensus was that the series was visually pleasing and essentially one giant promo for the game itself. When the second season announcement came out, many people were surprised. This time around, while the art is still pretty, the story is yet again fairly slow. However, while it had the benefit of having good art last time, there are more visually pleasing anime this season. No fingers pointed, but there is something about fighting with weapons and holding hands or another. Thus it stands to argue, what is good about the second season? The art is the same as we have already said, and there are some new characters who probably will be joining Sorey like the Wind Seraphim, but what about anything else? It’s already episode three and they have not gone too far. Watch if you would like or if you are a fan of the Tales series, however, do not expect the series to end this season either unless they rush the ending. Is a third season on the horizon? We cannot say, but if you look at the game story, there seems to be a lot of plot left!

Mikleo

Alisha

A princess of the Kingdom of Hyland whose domain spans across the northeast region of the Glenwood continent. She ranks very low in the line of succession.

She is a person of faith who believes that her duty in this age of unrest is to give hope, and show leadership and strength.

Her mascot, a mysterious “Normin,” hangs from her favorite umbrella.

Dezel
