Yeah, but it also seems improved on every aspect, like better art, better animations, nice new characters (even if really stereotypical) better voice acting and overall better direction not the songs though... I still don't like them...
Higher budget does miracles, but I got the feeling that the creators really wanted to go all out this time.
Like I said, the first two seasons were nothing special to me, but I kept watching anyways because I always thought it was a fairly interesting project... I'm glad it's finally paying off.
