The Second Barrage is generally rated above Season 1 by fans; the Hansel and Gretel arc in particular is cited as the darkest and most critically discussed content in the anime's run.

The premiere establishes the premise with brisk economy: salaryman Rock is kidnapped, discovers his company has written him off as acceptable collateral, and begins recalculating what loyalty means. Revy shoots things. The show knows exactly what it is from the first act.
The series' first multi-episode arc - the El Baile de la Muerte storyline begins here, introducing the Lovelace family and a kidnapping job that escalates well beyond the Lagoon Company's typical parameters. The arc is where the show begins testing its ensemble against stakes with genuine moral weight.
