This is one of the biggest disappointment for me, given its high rating and how much I enjoyed season 1.

supernatural / scifi elements, especially when an antagonist has bullshit overpowered supernatural /scifi powers

I dislike it. It was just like when I watched

Death Note and Steins;Gate.

Perhaps it’s because it feels very unfair to the protagonist. Perhaps it’s because I can’t play detective as I follow the show. Whatever the case, this trope - and by extension, any anime that employs this trope - pisses me off.

that the villains here are just 3 losers / incels. And in the end, they nabbed one of them in the season finale through… drumroll… a fistfight.

W.T.F. So anticlimatic.

Now that I recognised that this subgenre of supernatural-mystery is not for me, I’d probably just avoid them in the future, even the popular ones such as
