Way better than the first one! A ton more action and secrets are reveled! Secrets as in things that were not given to you during the first movie. Second movie down and there is still no face to "Friend" though a character in this sequel does see his face while the audience does not. Speaking of the characters, they are more lively in this one, they seem to grow on you faster than the first movies characters. There are different languages in this movie which was nice to hear and yet strange at first (I wasn't expecting to hear any other language besides Japanese). I have a habit of liking the second sequel the best in a series so let's hope this one isn't the same. The last movie looks promising~
