A lot of what I like about this season is some really fascinating world-building and some more subtle plot elements than your average show.
Just for example, Subaru has a discussion during her first deployment with her intelligent device. She makes it a point to have it refer to itself as a person, and I wondered why. Then, several episodes later, it's revealed thatSubaru is a cyborg created only to fight. The way that that seeps down into how she feels about her relationship with her device is pretty cool, and it raises a number of interesting questions for any of the characters. It also reminds me of Fate in the first season realizing near the end that there's one more friend that has been with her all the time, silent but unshakeable - Bardiche.
