Dino Girl Gauko Season 2

While I had a very mixed opinion of Dino Girl Gauko's first season, I am glad to see that the show improved by a long shot in it's second season. I recommend looking at my review for the previous season for better context. My issue with the first season is that the show was very formulaic and it gets hard to care about characters who pretty much do nothing but intentionally upset Naoko for a cruel joke, but in this season the characters have improved overall. Saito, the know it all kid, shows that he has a lot more to him than thinking he's better thaneveryone else. Takashi is not used as much in this season, so he's not as much of an issue. Even Babulissa is a lot funnier in this season, though she's less of an antagonist than in season one. The only characters who don't improve too much are the aliens, but they're alright as they are. The show still follows it's short 10 minute episode style, but one way it improved in this episode was that it finishes all it's stories. It made for a much more interesting show when they remembered to solve the problems they established early on. Just like the first season, you could watch a few episodes when you want something light and fluffy, or binge the whole season in one go. The art and sound design stays pretty much consistent. No drops or upgrades to animation quality, it's pretty much the same. As I said in my previous review, I really like the aesthetic and world this series makes and it's almost reminiscent of the American animated series OK KO! The unique and wacky character designs are one of the series' strongest points. Overall, I am glad that Dino Girl Gauko improved in it's second season, and the upgrade in writing and characters makes me curious to see where a potential 3rd season of the show could go. :)
