it's better then the 1st season, but honestly I think the whole show is mid. don't get me wrong I love it, but after season one it pretty much could only get better. the animation, voice acting and plot get so much better. I love season 2/3, much much better then the first! the characters feel much more fleshed out and the universe is expanded 

 oh! and whatever season starts in the fairy RPG is so good because there's so much SA /R*pe-y content. I love recommending SAO
