Seems like a lot of the season was build-up, and while the execution of a few major events was certainly engaging, they also felt so impersonal that it lost much of the emotional drive of the last season. I like the concepts of this season more than I like their execution, though. He also had to literally grow beyond humanity, becoming more of a force in the world than just someone within it. Fushi was forced to reckon with mortality on a level he never had to before, being put in a situation where he absolutely could not protect everyone. None of this is to say that this season was bad. They're faceless enemies with a goal that receives little explanation, and while that gets built out this season, it still feels alien and hard to comprehend. the pacing issues from last season writ large, and just made the central villains the Nokkers, which is fine, but contributes to the lack of heart in this season. a little directionless for much of its run. Sure, it had its pacing issues later in, and I still think it peaked in episode 1, but the journey felt rather clear: Fushi would have to learn to live his immortal life, and would have to deal with the mortality of those around him. S1 was all about an animated orb learning to transform into objects, animals and people around it and, over the course of the season, slowly building himself into something resembling a human himself. I feel like this show has almost completely changed between the two seasons.
