This is a bad sequel in almost every way. Barely a thing has improved over last season, and many of its flaws have been carried over to here. ― Demon Lord Retry! R is a bad sequel in almost every way. Barely a thing has improved over last season, and a lot of its flaws have been carried over here. The action is as flat as ever.

If you think I've made that comparison before, you're right – Matsuri's Phantom Tales of the Night can also be described that way.
