Opening Theme: Lum no Love Song
Ending Theme: I, I, You and Ai
Season
overview:
Pretty much everything I said about the previous season applies to this
one, only moreso. This is a great season with a lot of laughs. This is
probably the funniest UY has been up to this point. On the flipside, there
are also a few episodes that are all drama with few laughs. While not
true to the manga, such episodes are pretty interesting to watch. Without
a doubt, out of all the seasons directed by Oshii, this season is his
strongest one.
While
movie 2 is still a ways away, the character designs and animation style
of Beautiful Dreamer are beginning to show up in a few episodes.
