That was a fun first episode. My hopes for this second seasons are that they focus on further exploring the themes of the first season and don´t just make it another tournament meet-up.

My biggest hope still is that we´ll get a direct connection to Reiji´s world at some point. With our real world-Gunpla champions entering the alternate world of Reiji´s to help him out. I guess that would be a crass change in tone, though, since suddenly there´d be real death involved.

As for cameos, I´m still hoping for Rinko´s return. But since we have her little brother here, I´m also looking to a 7 year old "riper" China-chan :>
