It's not really a new director, the person taking charge directed the entire Mage Exams. Saito only really did the first half of s1 and even then not the first few episodes since he was still doing Bocchi at the time they were produced
So it will look the same but probably more shonen action based.
The CAD is different but that's because Reiko Nagasawa drove herself into depression doing the entire work herself on S1 so she's now had a family and quite the industry. But again the new people worked on S1
So it's really just a bunch of promotions
