Well, it kind of is shit:
For starters, once again, the whole neo-imperialist fantasy problem pops up, with them showing the IJN ships winning the not-battle-of-Surigao-Strait with NO CASUALTIES (which is also part of another problem. Also for context: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gYO3ZcA699s ), except this time it's even worse, because the game now has ships from the Allies' navy and the Abyssal Queens are CLEARLY dark versions of the Fusou and Yamashiro, yet they have refused so far to show any allied ships or acknowledge the fact that the Night Strait Princesses look like the Fusou-class sisters, or basically do anything to not make them look like they are coping for how hard the IJN got fucked by the USN.
There's also the problem that, while the series try to be more dark, a lack of danger (as I said, no casualties) makes the whole attempt at a darker tone fail spectacularly. Much like in season 1 we're told that the protagonists are backed into a corner, yet, during battle you never get the feeling of overwhelming danger, not for long enough: The shipgirls are vastly outnumbered? Reinforcements arrive. The black Night Strait Princess is too hard to be defeated? Just have Yamashiro go super mode and one shot her. What are the stakes? At worst the shipgirls just might lose their powers, so far.
The lack of 3d animation for such overdesigned characters was always going to be a problem. But, hey, who cares if the animation is lackluster, at least it has no 3d... Speaking of visual problems, much like other adaptations of Kancolle season 2 seems to be taking various game elements too literally, like many abyssals being much larger than official artwork implies they are, like in the Arcade.
The pacing is also pretty bad. 6 out of 8 episodes so far and there's only been 2 battles and a mystery that is far from answered.
