Sound has been improved in the second series, with the characters themselves expressing a greater degree of emotion through their respective seiyuu (more on this in a bit). Fans of the awesome Casshern: Sins will recognise this technique as it is used heavily in that show as well. The reason they chose to do this is purely because Birdy is an Ixion Altairan, a genetically engineered "super-soldier", and when you watch those scens, you'll begin to understand why they work on several levels. The aim of these sequences is to direct the viewers attention to the characters and their struggles, allows the animators greater freedom and flexibility when it comes to character movements, and promotes a greater degree of emotion than a clean, clinical finish could everallow. This isn't due to a lack of time or skill on the part of the animators though, as it is very much intentional. One thing that may have detractors though, is that some sequences have a decidedly "rough and ready" look to them. The incorporation of CG is almost seamless, and the character movements, especially during the action sequences, are exceptional. The animation for Decode: 02 is easily on par with that of the first season. Oh, and we also get to find out why she's called "Berserker Killer Birdy". The added bonus of this season being mainly about Birdy makes her character far more accessible,and endearing, as well. The tighter storyline, combined with some excellent pacing and some great (even with the predictable bits), plot development, allows the audience to become far more engaged in the story. As with any story, no matter how good, unless the pacing is correct the audience will lose interest, and season two is no slouch is this department. I just wanted the show to get on with the story rather than beat around the bush. One of the main problems I had with the first season was the inconsistent, and often slow, pacing of the series. One irony is that, whilst the first season looked at Tsutomu's love life, the second season is very clearly about Birdy's relationships, and I found that this aspect was far more engaging than the sci-fi school romance that was season one.
The story is much tighter this time around, and is very much focused on Birdy rather than Tsutomu. The story seems pretty straightforward on the whole, and there are some predictable events that occur, however don't be fooled by the failings of the first season as Decode: 02 is a completely different beast. During the course of her investigation though, Birdy runs into an old friend. The escaped convicts take shelter on earth, and Birdy is ordered to find and capture them.
Meanwhile, a prison transport belonging the the Intergalactic Police is attacked by an unknown assailant. for the time being whilst the world tries to make sense of the Ryunka incident. Tsutomu and Birdy are still sharing a body The second season picks up directly after the end of the first.
Thankfully, A-1 Pictures have changed the whole ball game with the release of Tetsuwan Birdy Decode: 02. Unfortunately the first season of Decode, whilst being good and great in some areas, was lacklustre in others - especially where the pacing of the story was concerned.

Or is it.?īeing a long time fan of the original Birdy the Mighty OVA from 1997, it goes without saying that I was definitely looking forward to the new series of Tetsuwan Birdy Decode. The original is always better than the sequel.
