As someone who watched the original anime from 2008 and read LNs I can tell you that there’s a lot to uncover. While in my opinion animation is better than it was in 2008, I feel it lacks that bit of magic original had. Opening is good, though I liked old one more. As for story coin plot is just a beginning. There’s going to be a lot more of those and every one of them is really thought out. Lawrence is not like those 200 IQ protagonists that are always 10 steps ahead. He’s just a quite smart human, not more than that. He will have his ups and downs. Overall a very well written character. It will be clear by the end of the season or even sooner.
