Although the finale was widely praised, many felt it did not make up for the stumbles of the season as a whole.

** Yamato speaking with an old friend in the afterlife, who tells him about his life in Hiroshima. The savvy viewer can probably tell [[ForegoneConclusion what's coming]], but TheReveal itself is something else: the camera slowly revealing his [[KillEmAll entire extended family]] (including his young great-grandchild) standing behind him.

* ClicheStorm: Some reviewers listed this as one of the season's key issues; most of the characters are stereotypes right out of a casting handbook (stoic, salt-of-the-earth immigrant parents, rebellious second-generation kids, {{Jerkass}} authority figure, StringyHairedGhostGirl out for vengeance) and the plot itself deteriorates into a pretty standard J-horror story halfway through.

* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: A common complaint among critics and viewers is that the season failed to make good use of its setting; an internment camp could have provided some interesting storytelling possibilities and been a claustrophobic ClosedCircle, much like ''Erebus'' and ''Terror'' were in Season 1, but it is instead treated as a backdrop that is more an inconvenience to the characters than anything else.
