Josh – I guess I didn’t have to do a first impressions post for this, since this is the direct continuation of the first season, but since it’s “new,” I thought I would.  The first episode ended up being a fairly light-hearted re-introduction to the series, but we’re already back into the serious stuff in the 2nd episode.  One of the things I like about this series is that it’s able to mix seriousness and comedy reasonably well, though it could certainly do better at it as well.

I had some grave doubts about this series the last time I wrote about it, 5 episodes into the first season, but I think some of the writing and shear confusion has been cleared up, or at least there is a clear hope that things will eventually get answered, which is more than I could say then.  I’d still say that Asura Cryin’ overall is only about an average show, but I think it still has the potential to be pretty good or crash and burn at this point.
