I thought the second season was better than the first.
My complaint with the first season was that it seemed they would occasionally cut out a full episode. For instance, in one episode the protagonist is completely clueless how to use his machina, but in the next episode, he's struttin' his stuff like he's a machina master and no one can stop him. Another example, I think it was at the end of the first season, someone suddenly mentions "The bad guy can't stand against Kurogane's gravity power!" and I was just at a loss because I watched every episode (I think) and never saw any mention or hint of gravity power before this point.
Anyway, other than that, I enjoyed the show.
EDTI: pesky grammar... what time did I even write this? 5am?
