Didn't see the first one, so I might have missed some things that would have made it better, but honestly I doubt it. Animation was fun, action scenes were fantastic, the setting was gorgeous and complex, and and character designs were all cool. Should have been fun, but the character personalities were too bland to care about anyone. No one that was remotely interesting had any large amount of screen time. It's a hard movie to pay attention to, or even finish.

A truly fun romp with great effects, a beautiful style, and a stellar cast, this is a very entertaining distraction. Sadly, none of the budget went into preserving the poetry of Poe's work, and so it'll die when audience interest moves on. If you've ever wanted to be beaten over the head with a brick, this series is for you. This is the least subtle adaptation in existence, a Poe for Dummies as it were. It slaps you with reference after reference, strips away absolutely all moral ambiguity of any of the characters, and is so modernized that it'll be absolutely dated in about 6 months. Watch now, because it'll be irrelevant when the heart stops beating beneath the floorboards.
