Continuing on from the absolute masterpiece of a s1 this show just doesn’t derail and only gets better in my opinion - not only does the animation look even better than the first season from the start but holy damn the opening and ending of this season stand out as some of the best sounding and visually insane op and Ed’s I’ve witnessed - it’s just soo soo worthwhile watching this and it’s so easy to get invested into this - the season carry’s on being a heartbreaking show especially what happens to a certain charachter at the end of the season - this season takes what makes the first one so good and makes it better and also it takes qiao lings charachter and makes her one of my favourite characters - love to see her get a lot of spotlight this season - just straight up gripping television…

This season was a step up in some things but a let down in some others.
The main difference is that while S1 is episodic and deals with short but emotional stories, S2 is serialized and the plot is way more involved.
The step up was definitely in the music, Vortex is a really unique piece of music that I recommend to listen to (and watch the visuals!) even if you're not a Link Click fan. The animation was also definitely better and dynamic, which is to be honest not that much of an improvement as S1 had great animation already, but it deserves it's spot here.
The let down? My main and biggest complaint is simply the sharp transition between an episodic and meaningful show to a full on action thriller. The season 2 story is good and well written just as S1, but no matter what I can't sh…

TL;DR If I wanted to watch a crime procedural, I’d just watch a crime procedural. That’s not why I’m watching link click.
Objectively, as a stand-alone, this season is… fine. Normal, if not well-produced tv. As a sequel to link click 1, it’s disappointing. It’s nothing like link click 1.
Link click 1 excelled thanks to its format: episodic vignettes with an underlying plot. Each vignette was both character and suspense-driven, and the suspense each time relates to the overarching series gimmick/theme— don’t question (change) past or future. This theme was psychologically well-developed. The powers worked around and through it; it was the heart of link click. And link click 2 just… throws that all out the window.
It’s fine if you decide to switch your show’s main format, main structure,…

This is 2/175 of trying to watch every single Time Travel anime on MAL
Link Click season 2, I loved this season just as much as the first, it takes the base of the first season, and escalates the conflict, it's great
What It's About
-------------------
This season follows Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang in a constant state of turmoil, where they have to avoid another person with powers similar to theirs. The season mostly follows lots of suspense sequences, with the team looking to try and foil the villains plans to kill Cheng Xiaoshi and take his powers. Leading up to a climactic final fight
What I Liked
----------------
I liked this season just as much as the first, I'll admit, it was a pretty drastic change in tone from the first season, but I think it was a step in the right direction. U…

I don't know, man. I think they botched their execution a little bit.
The first season had two plots within itself. Murder-mystery and emotional rollercoaster. The main characters, great ones, have an incredible dynamic in both seasons that leads to emotionally brutal moments. It’s all in these two being “I must allow my friend to suffer for the good of people,” and “I must suffer for the good of people.”
They’re both linked far beyond what most people could be, and I felt for them incredibly hard throughout both. However, they decided to ditch the emotional rollercoaster for the murder mystery, and the story falls apart as a result.
Too much time is spent on the stakes being raised, in the characters outsmarting, and failing against the villain, that the character writing is lost. T…

The second season of Link Click completely changes the genre of the series and instead of sad dramatic memories, we dive into the dark waters of a crime story. The plot definitely adds to the tension, drama and urgency, but it also retains strong touching moments - the creators know exactly when to "hit the jackpot". I sat glued to the series and enjoyed it immensely, just like the first season. The creators are keeping an eye on the storyline and I feel that I understood everything and explained everything that was necessary (except for the snippets left for the next season, of course). I must also praise the opening, which was breathtaking, as was this entire story. The characters work wonderfully here and I must appreciate how beautifully they were able to refer to a few points from the…

This season is beautifully animated as before but I am a bit disappointed in the direction the series have taken. It is mainly a suspense and thriller now. But in season 1 it was primarily a drama. But I prefer it when it was less intense in season one, focusing on the Drama aspect. The kind of show it started out as, I believe, it never needed a villain with supernatural abilities who would become their nemesis. The show just didn't need a villain. Yet season 2 decided otherwise, or rather it started from end of season 1.
Season 2 has an excellent OP but I still prefer the simpler OP from season One, the one with the finger dance. I missed that in this season.
In summary its still a very good show, but I like season 1 much more.

1st another season with a" i don't know what will happen ending"...
2nd the consistency especially in end eps is just mind bogling .....
3rd again great songs .....
.
though in the middle parts in this when grandpa power rangers come it did become a bit slow for me and some parts where it feels like they are talking too much but but what surprises it held for the future is just greatttt..
.
i love when anime let you think and come to conclusion of what could happen it just invests you more in the plot but boy i can never with these they are random for there outcome and connect each eps with a constantly evolving plot.....which is just great though this season as a whole was not like s1 for me but in no shape or form this is a bad season please watch it if you're planning its as good as th…

The second season of link licka continues the story left unfinished in the first season, it does it just as well, changing various elements and patterns, such as adding more fights to the series, which really raises the level because it is known that it is easier to create an interesting fight involving superpowers, than a regular fist fight.
The plot is fantastic, it has a sad story, action-packed moments, situations that make you wonder why this situation happened and how to solve it, and plenty of twists and turns.
The graphics are of a very good standard, the music is suspenseful, and the characters are easy to like. If I were to rate this series based solely on the first season, I would give it a 9/10, but with the second season fleshing things out, I can honestly say that this is o…

Another banger.
**Please be sure to watch season 1 before reading this.**
It's not perfect, but pretty darn close. One thing this does so well, is immediately capsulate your attention, and then give you plot twists.
All BS aside (blah blah, it's Chinese, best Chinese anime ever) can we just focus on what we watched lol. It was fantastic. The art continues from season 1, which was just so refreshing. From coloring, animation, fighting, and frame rate - you will very likely enjoy it. Let's talk about the plot twists, seemingly at every corner. This anime does such a fantastic job at trying to make the viewer feel they know what will happen, then will throw a wrench in there. But in a good way. You will think you know the ending, but will be wrong (again). I think that's what makes this…

So, before I get started, yes, this season was really good. It's Link Click, and the gripping game of cat-and-mouse being played was as good as the likes of Summer Time Rendering and other series that pull off this kind of push and pull with aplomb. I recommend watching this season, but I'm going to be spending much of this review criticizing where I think it falls short, particularly compared with S1, so I wanted to lay this all out first.
There are a few things holding this season back from something I would call truly great. Its reliance on one narrative throughline means we spend a great deal of time with these characters in this setting fighting this battle. In fact, we revisit the same moments over and over again from different perspectives and with different information, which doe…

Before we even get started, I must suggest viewing the entire 1st season. The two are so intricately woven together, it would be nearly impossible to understand what is going on, otherwise. Don't worry, it will be well worth your effort!
In large part because this 2nd season is so well set up by season 1, the writers can get right into the meat of the story and not waste a lot of time about it. And the writing is awesome. This is one fine tale they are telling here. It's like being a kid on Christmas Day. The writers provide us with one awesome surprise after another. But they don't feel contrived or cliche. They all fall right in line with everything else the story has to offer.
The characters really get some serious development in the 2nd series. While not bad in the 1st season, they…

Yes yes yes this is what we have been waiting for !!!
The atmosphere is completely different and better than the other seasons. People have been begging for it and they got it. A good story, emotional, plottwist and more crying .
Intro music video is epic. Both song and the actually video. Outtro is cool too but the intro is best. The way they editd is uniq its own way.
Drawing style has changed a little bit too, still not my style but then story kept me going so I didnt bother at all😊
And the plottwists in this season is amazing. I have been watching non stop for 12 hours, cauae i also had to make dinner in between, so you should also watch it !!!!

The DRAMA! The CHEEZE! It is a cheese fest! Not just the problem for 2nd season the 1st season as well. The cheesiness of the emotional scenes is not the only problem of 'Link Click' but defiantly is what occupied my mind the most.
In my opinion this is supposed to be a 9/10 angle of a show, it got great mystery, fluent story telling, memorable characters, top notch animation, refreshing art style, super awesome sound track op & ed for both seasons, and not to mention a well concluded ending (could be more in future but an conclution along is hard to come by this days)... but the execution of emotional scenes are kinda lackluster, they occupied too much time and they are way too cheesy.
This show tried to makes the emotional scene super extra emotional (makes the sad feel sadder) with th…

The tone was really different than the first season.
After an insane clifhanger at the end of the 1st season, it seems that the goal of the writters shifted entirely.
Even the oppening of season 2 was an absolute banger
From a show that was heavily focused on the plot and the mystery, it turned into a more classic thriller. They added lots of fights (smooth ones btw), flashbacks from something we saw 10 min earlier... It's not bad in itself, just really different
Moreover, all the major decisions / ideas that the main characters have don't seem brilliant. They didn't left me speechless. When you use something as powerfull as time travel, it is possible to achieve greatness. They don't give to the watcher all the clues that the characters have. Hence their decisions didn't feel entirely…

After the success of S1, I was really looking forward to S2. My only challenge was that I simply don't have speed reading as a superpower. Donghuas are notoriously fast spoken and them subtitles eye wateringly fast. I opted to wait for the dub... so sue me.
For those interested in dub review: it's pretty damn solid. Chen Xiaoshi's English VA is Alejandro Saab & Lu Guang is acted by Zeno Robinson. They are both heavyweight voice actors, with very impressive resumes.
The rest of the cast was also good, with only a few moments (some female cast) that I cringed a bit. Overall I was glad I waited for the dub as the story is action packed and I would never have been able to keep up with the pace of subs.
Link Click is obviously a quality production, much effort has been made from everything…

As a fan of the First season, this season was bad for simple reason
The pacing and repeating the same scene for more than one time. They wanted to make mystery by not showing enough information
but it would be good to do it once or twice, not repeating throughout whole season. The actual plot of the season was ok,not bad except one event
Because of this, the mystery was so obvious that someone can predict easily
Another thing. The hook or cliffhanger was so amazing in the end of first season and I couldn't wait for this season but the hook of this season's finale was meh (I didn't cared)

Season two is pretty good but a far cry from the perfection of season one. Since season one ended on a cliff - hanger, of course one wants to go straight to season two, which is different in structure, tone, and style than season one. Was I disappointed? Yeah, because I know the greatness this creator is capable of. It does not live up to the genius of season one. Worse, however, though both seasons are heart-rending, season two is heavy - handed about it. It less touches your heart than rips it out of your chest, and not in a good way like season one. Also, though season one wasn't afraid to delve into some very dark topics and it had a body count, season two is straight up brutal, the body count mounting among characters you really love, and for no good reason.
The story structure is fr…

So we’ve officially entered the Liu Cixin era of Chinese science fiction, huh?
Link Click S2 is interesting because its biggest flaw was the end of the previous season. Ending on a cliffhanger, the main idea for why the cliffhanger worked was to set into play more mystery. There’s emotional implications too, but it feels overshadowed.
And that’s exactly how I would describe season two. While attempts are made to keep the emotional core of the story, the number of twists and turns make it feel insignificant. Link click as of now feels like an anime stuck between two worlds, with incredible mystery thriller twists, but with character writing that just isn’t perfected for the type of story they try to tell.
I’ve seen people say that link click always ended on cliffhangers and how that exc…

It's really sad to see that lots of shounen animes with almost no storyline and only focusing on fight scenes are getting so much attention while this masterpiece is underrated af. If i could i would rate even higher than 10.
First season was more like different stories on each episode and because of that it was more emotional. But this season focuses on the storyline more and i enjoyed so much that how actually mind blowing the story is. Especially that plot twist at the end.. aaah i have so many questions and theories in my head.
And let's don't forget the opening and ending too. Even though i like the first season's soundtrack more, song choices are very good again.
i'm so excited about season 3. I hope it continues with the same quality. Keep up the good work guys! Also thanks for…
