Personal ratings: 3.5
I would say that this show did not leave as much impact or impression as it did in the first season. This show had many questions that I had not found an answer to. Also, at first, they keep making it seem like Falcon lost to Hornet, and Hornet was truely a prodigy hacker. However, after they uncover his identity, they made it seemed like he was really a novice hacker, that forget to erase his tacks, etc.
There are also some characters that I deem useless in this show (No offence). Like the terrorist woman that was onboard the areoplane in the fist episode. She only showed up for one second before she died, I think making a character like that is useless.
Even though there are bad points about this season, there are also some good points in this saeson then the last. For example the hacking part. They really showed more about the hacking part this time round, and when they hack they really did show more of the screen.
It maybe because the whole season was much shorter, I think that even before we get to know more about the characters, the show ended. Like there are some character which are important, i find that have little screen time to show their true self. For the terrorist, the ladybird and Houtaro. Then also, Fujimaru's colleage, Hibiki.
Plus there as little link to the last Seaosn. In season one, it shows at the last part that the dude with a butterfly tattoo was still alive. And for this season, the terrorist, Ladybird she did have a huge dragon tattoo, but it seems like they had no connections at all. I really think that since you put a similarity between the both of them, you may as well make a connection.
