Sequelitis probably describes it better (so would TheyChangedItNowItSucks, it being the character designs and animation style). The adaption is really quite faitful (at least as much as the first season, probably more so). The difference is skill (and style, Teatrino is really too \\\"bright\\\" and the girls too cutsie).

Season one is a very good adaption of Aida\\\'s early stages (when he was still feeling his way into the story), and is probably better than manga volumes 1-2. Il Teatrino, is a mediocre adaption of much better work (the manga version of Triela vs Pinnochio final round blows the anime out of the water). Aida closed up some weak spots in the original story, but the story-telling technique from the studio is not nearly as sure. Some bits work very well (the Opera bit), most are decent, but not as polished as the manga.

That said, the (Japanese) voice work is good, which wasn\\\'t always true of season 1 (Triela\\\'s season one solo story is well adapted, but the seiyuu did not have a grasp of the character).

Short form, season one is an excellent telling of promising work. Season two is a competent, but much more ordinary adaption of superior work. Aida got better, the studios went the other way.
