What's the deal with that? Was the manga similarily kinda front loaded with better content? I know it's a different company doing it and maybe that changes some things but like... that drop off in quality reminds me of CCS to Clear Card Hen (I am a bit of a CCH hater, felt really boring and cut off when the interesting stuff was gonna start)

I'm an anime-only, so I don't know what the source material was like or how it was received. But in the anime, the general consensus (and my own opinion as well) is that the anime drifted away from the comedy and fun character interactions that made it great in the first season in favor of focusing more on serious stuff in this season. The much weaker art/animation (due to the studio change) and the addition of Alas Ramus throwing a wench in the character dynamics of the main cast don't help things either. Even when it does try to do things that are reminiscent of the good parts of the first season, it doesn't do them quite as well. It's a damn shame.
