That split entirely ruined the season for me. There's way to much time between seasons, which I get, animation takes time, and they have some big names voice acting. But that split in addition with the long season time meant I could barley remember what was going on and then it was over.
I don't know, it's a great show but I'll probably catch it 5 years from now when it's done. Just boneheaded producing decisions.
I can almost excuse a mid season break if the season were more than 8 episodes. I really miss the days of 26 episode seasons of shows. You really got to get to know characters back then. Now I feel like I watch a whole season of a show and then forget almost everything that happened in it as soon as it's over.
Right?! I also think those "filler" episodes gave writers an opportunity to try to stuff out and see what stuck. I get that that's way more costly in animation but... Yeah. Like both chunks of this season I kept thinking "I know this is really cool but I entirely forget why"
I had a good sense of the story, but season 2 part 2 was just completely underwhelming. If they'd released it all at once, it would have been setup, payoff for all the season 2 stuff. Instead, we get setup, giant wait to build hype, mediocre payoff.
