Honestly, the artstyle change does bother me quite a lot. It gets better going into the side story, but god I miss how expressive and detailed Season 1's artstyle was. As for the story, I think the artist picking up from Season 2 doesn't really "get" the story as well as the one from Season 1. This is a novel adaptation, so there's no writer change or anything like that, but a lot of the emotions written out in the novel doesn't translate as well in Season 2 compared to Season 1
