Three reasons why i really enjoyed this two-and-a-half-hour piece much more than the so-called "second" season.

* Better animation qualities than the K-On!-ified visuals of season two, much closer to the first one.

* The return of Ryoko Asakura. As it was with the first incarnation, there's this slight air of more-than-meets-the-eye around her.

* The portrayal of Yuki Nagato as a perfectly normal and shy human girl instead of the superpowered humanoid interface that we know.
