Amagi as the main character is definitely more interesting than Tokai because the former is enigmatic, animated and so unpredictable. Nino totally nailed his character in this series as I looked forward to his performance every episode. I was also glad that Sera got more screen time this season, which was something I felt off in the first season and really liked how they showed his progression as a doctor. Was also great they have more episodes portraying the back stories of side character especially for Tokai’s favorite nurse.

In terms of the story, there were more excitement for this compared to the previous because there were more twists. The best one being Tokai and Amagi’s backstory. Totally didn’t expect that. And the public surgeries make it more dramatic and everything higher at stake. I think it’s a good strategy to include the public surgeries because they don’t have to pretend that the show is a realistic medical drama anymore. They are owning its own absurdities. The only issue I have with the story is probably the black pean agreement, which felt forced to called it that item since it’s more of a metaphor to the doctors’ relationship. I was very confused how the stories links to the Black forceps when they called it that.

I love the music in this show. The use of dramatic classical music for the DA portion is a stroke of genius and add the drama to those scene. Overall, this was a huge improvement from the original. Congrats!
