Have not seen the actual Episode yet, but having seen the Opening and The Ending.
The Opening's song is an improvement on the First Season's "Innocent of D", though the animation on the other hand is far more restrained in style.
And
I Knew It; The Show-Stopping Pole-Dancing Sequence of
StudyXStudy is such a classic that it became an impossible act to top; so the Director
didn't even try to top it. Ho hum, boring generic pan across a sea of nake bodies, NEXT PLEASE WITH CREATIVITY AND ORIGINALITY, THANK YOU!!
I still got to hand credit where it's due; the second half with our disrobed heroines flying across the screen
is beautiful; and the deliberate use of watercolor style was strongly reminiscent of the Ending Credits sequence from
El-Hazard the Magnificent World, and their nakedness in this context was more pure-and-beautiful rather than carnal and erotic.
Still, will miss the Pole-Dance very very much.
