Well it isn't. The Steel Lady arc was the only of it's kind in the manga.

This is wonderful news. I thought it wasn't going to get a Season 2 so I started reading the manga.

The first season could probably have been renamed to "Exposition, the animation."
Honestly, it was literally the embodiment of conspiracy theory crafting. Making random stuff up that is conveniently circumstantial just to come to a plot resolution.

I really enjoyed the first season, so I'm happy to see Kotoko and Kuro return (and that key visual is so accurate it's priceless).

That was the entire point of the show? Making random stuff up that was conveniently circumstantial to force a resolution was exactly what they were doing. It wasn't like they just made stuff up that happened to be right because of lazy writing. It's how they achieved the end goal by convincing spirits and people that her made up stuff was in fact true (whether or not it was entirely true or false), and in the Steel Lady arc, their mass belief actually made it true. It was kind of like she was writing a short story with her readers looking over her shoulder and offering criticism as she wrote -- much like anime viewers watching week to week criticize plots without knowing what the author actually intends to do down the road (except we can't affect the outcome. Japanese manga readers sometimes can a little bit, if the outcry is huge enough).

It was interesting how very Mage: The Ascension style the show works. While reality is malleable to consciousness and will - hence magic works - it is on macro scale fixed by majority consensus (and enforced by a feedback loop they call Paradox).

I enjoy these yokai type of shows and In/Spectre was one of the better ones I've seen recently so I'm glad to see it get a s2 made.

The reason the Steel Lady Nanase arc was so long was because that was supposed to be the entire story. In/Spectre (Invented Inference) was originally supposed to be a one-volume short novel, but then it got adapted into a manga, got an enormous amount of popularity, and Shirodaira Kyo was given the go-ahead to continue. That's why subsequent arcs in the manga are much shorter, because this time Shirodaira was actually writing with longevity in mind, and also specifically for the manga format (instead of just writing a novel).
Anyway, on that note, I hope that season 2 makes this popular enough so that someone decides to license the original novel someday. I'd love to own it.

Why should you care what "a lot of people" think? Only you know what you like. Give it a try.
Every time I mention Golden Kamuy someone brings up the online reaction to the CGI bear from the first couple of episodes of season one. Really? That's what it takes to deter anime "fans" from watching an excellent show? (I liked In/Spectre, but it's not on the same level as Golden Kamuy.)
