First of all, just to get it out of the way. The animation in essentially every episode is phenomenal. It's easy to let the diverse visual spectacle sweep you up. With that said, story is really the key element, and while the first season ranges well through hard-hitting emotion, thrills, horror, and comedy with masterfully executed differences in pacing from tale to tale, the second season lacks in both of these categories. You just don't have enough time to develop any real connection to comedy or tragedy or intensity, and I think that's a testament to how much difference 8 minutes can make in a story. Even more to the point, the 1st season was a solid 18 episodes while the 2nd season doesn't even meet half that at 8 which just isn't enough for the short story style. Overall, I do like the show, but if their next set of entries is as lackluster and short as the 2nd season, I can see the show losing its darling status among viewers.
