I started watching the second season of Sukeban Deka. And even though I’m only at the beginning of this show, I already like it even more than the previous one. The budget has grown noticeably, the battles have become better and more varied, and the arsenal of techniques for both the MC and her opponents has increased. Mass fights are one step away from being called battle scenes. The new heroine is cute and intriguing, and she's similar enough to the original Saki to not turn off fans, but different enough to not look like a copy with a different appearance. And the introduction of girlfriends who are capable of not only supporting, but also participating on equal terms in battles adds variety and spice to the show.
If there is one thing I can nitpick about, I thought the show was too fast-paced. In the first episode, Yoko becomes Sukeban Deka; in the second, she teams up with her first friend, in the third, she meets the second, and in the fourth, they already help her on a mission. Somehow all this is too hasty, especially in comparison with the original, which, being almost half as long, spent the first ten episodes on fillers. But the thought that there are still 38 episodes of this story ahead makes me squeal with delight. I recommend it.
