6/10 for me.
The 2nd season's manic pace really undermined the whole. A lot of good-to-great foreshadowing in the first cour, but in the 2nd cour random plot threads fell off to never be mentioned again. Which to me means that the served no purpose. The series broke its own established logic for convenience, and the 4th act villains had no proper build up like the conflicts of the first cour. Far too much time was spent literally keeping key members of the cast locked in a room.
I liked the characters, loved the action and the music, but the plot pacing of the 2nd cour soured it. It could have been a very tight, zoomed-in and personal series concerning arms conflicts, very intimate like the first cour, but fell into the hole of superweapons and miracle deals.
I do hope they return to the setting in the future and do it a little more justice. I did like Ad Stella.
