Done with Beast Wars II, it can be easily summed up as "stuff falls into gaia, then the Maximals react" sure, it gets a proper plot once Magnaboss and Nemesis are introduced, but the main part of the show is just a new set of toys being introudced and then they interact with both sides, rinse and repeat.

As such your enjoyment will come from how much you enjoy the light tone of the show and it's jokes, I had fun more often than not, but the Autoroller arc felt incredibly pointless even by II's standards, and... I'm not even sure what the Jointrons were aiming for, the infamous Mariachi brothers were... just plain odd, sure, they threw gratuitous spanish often, they had ponchos once, but for the most part they just were random and not really steretoypes as much as they were confusing.

So yeah, BWII is not spectacular or a must watch by any means, it's just that curiosity that it has awlays been, the BW spin-off that only Japan knew, it has cool ideas and a lot of the characters have potential, but the format does not do it any favors.

Still, had more fun than not.
