the animation of il teatrino looked a bit closer to the original manga character designs, but it did'nt do much for the anime. I agree that the fratellos seemed to be given really different personalities, but over all I really enjoyed the second season. The Triela vs. Pinocchio arc completely won me over. I agree that the animation was really lacking, along with that really annoying blinking, but The last episode was one of the better ones I've seen from. It was an epic fight despite the crap quality.
