The design of the various kinds of Kaiju that appear throughout the season is numerous, with each standing out from the others nicely. The CGI visuals get both the action and emotion of the story across in a way that is clear to follow but is often too wooden to truly pull the viewer in. The visual presentation in Pacific Rim: The Black Season 2 is fine for the most part. The struggle between the two is handled well as it wraps up Mei’s defining conflict in a way that feels genuine and meaningful. I won’t give spoilers, but I will say that I like where the show ultimately leaves the villain/father figure of Mei. The biggest one of these is Shane’s part in this season. While the main story arc surrounding the Sisters of the Kaiju and Boy often struggled for me, Pacific Rim: The Black Season 2 does manage to deliver some solid closure to some of its other dangling plot lines. Rather than being weighed down by poorly handled drama. With the tension building and the found family back together, the show feels like it is back where it should’ve been all along. This return of compassion for one-half of the show’s stars makes the final couple of episodes the standouts of this series. Only after the fact does Pacific Rim: The Black Season 2 allow either of them to seem human again. There is no shred of sympathy from either character during arguments. While the duo often make fair points about why they think their frequently cold-hearted plans are the right path to follow, the show seems to go out of its way to have them present their argument in the harshest ways possible. As the problems and pursuit surrounding Boy grows in intensity, Mei and Taylor seem to take turns playing the indifferent monster to Haley crying pleas for sympathy. For the bulk of this season’s seven episodes, unless your name is Haley you are coming across as a heartless jerk.
