I'm going to order MKR Season 2 for my birthday coming up, so I'll give my thoughts on the episodes after watching them like I did with the first season.

Ooooh, you've started doing the episode reviews again Casey-sensei! Awesome! happy.gif I can remember back two years ago when you were doing them for the first season of MKR. It's really a great idea to have such good information about the series and I wish that I'd done it when I'd seen the anime the first time around.

Pretty much everything you've said about the first two episodes I really agree with strongly, especially two of the themes that you've picked up on already. The first one about the three of them all being in a "haze" after the conclusion of the first season is absolutely correct. It's very close to the feeling of having been through a loss or trauma so shocking that there hasn't been enough time yet to have a distinct emotional response develop. Unfortunately I have experienced this myself and for a while I did go about in a haze, literally not knowing how I should be feeling. The second theme that you saw was the Magic Knights' feelings of uselessness, that in their previous mission to Cephiro they were nothing more than pawns in the plan known as the Legend of the Magic Knights. After quickly realizing this, Hikaru, Umi, and Fuu become more determined to make a difference this time around, for the good of Cephiro, but more importantly, for the good of themselves. I'm not sure if you want comments to be posted in amongst your reviews Casey-sensei, so I posted them here instead. If it is okay, I can move this over there.

EDIT: Wow, I was able to extract this post from the old topic and append it to this one with a single command ... I'm impressed with myself. X3
