This was really hard to rate... On the one hand, I really wanted to give this a rating of 4 or lower. At times it felt pretty bad because there were so many inconsistencies across episodes, I had to stop twice and check if I missed an episode in-between. The overused flashback tease (1), the unclear / poorly explained motivations of characters, the <number> love interests and their handling, multiple cliffhangers, and misleading of your expectations exclusively for the sake of "plot twists" all of these really got to my nerves by episode 4 or so. I *really* got annoyed at it. On the other hand, I wanted to be more lenient because I'm clearly not in the target audience and age group, because it's not terrible (I did manage to finish it in a day!), because it did make think about some stuff, and because it's not a carbon copy story (2). Some other reviewer said something along the lines of "the show doesn't know what it wants to be", but I'm not sure I'd go that far. Instead I'd say that it had a mix of behaviors and events, some of which you could even call realistic, but had a decent dose of not taking itself too seriously (the anime/manga protagonist and 2D/3D jokes were well executed throughout) and another decent dose of the various genres it tried to cram into 12 episodes. In the end, I leaned towards the positives and gave it a "6 - Fine". It is by far not the best romance / comedy / romcom / drama series I've seen, but it is watchable. If you're <18 (and maybe <25), I think you're more likely to enjoy watching this. ------ (1) By flashback tease I mean the: "I'm going to show you half a scene but I'll mute / hide some parts so I can build suspense and keep you watching until I show you something that you half-expected by that point, in hopes that it will surprise you" (2) I've seen plenty of other series over the years, and even though there are many commonalities on various individual aspects (especially characters / personalities), overall I'd say there was enough variation in the story to make it stand out a bit... unlike the many seasonal isekai/fantasy I've been watching lately that barely bother.

Do you like to be and feel confused for 11 episodes? Do you like to skip boring useless parts and stick to the main story? If your answer is yes, this anime is for you. It's rare that a rom-com gets a second season in this day and age so might as well enjoy this one. I don't know if I can actually recommend this anime or not, I guess it's there to be watched so do it you won't really regret it. This anime didn't invent anything or add anything new of course, we just avoided a school festival and a useless summer episode which is good. The pace of this season was good, you can feel the story going forward and the raw material not "enough" for them to stretch it even more. The art style is good, no doubt and even the music was decent which is pretty rare. If you want to disconnect your brain for a few hours; this anime is for you!

A Romance anime with a conclusive ending is an extremely rare gem amidst so many others that don't even bother to continue, serving merely as advertisements for their manga. Let's talk about the animation: for a Romance anime, it's very well done, putting to shame those anime that needed better animation despite being Shounen or Isekai. Isn't that right, Goblin Slayer? The characters remain as beautiful as in the first season, with subtle design changes. Regarding the secondary characters, they ended up without any real development, although, honestly, they weren't missed, considering that 90% of the anime's charm comes from the protagonists, Masamune and Aki, along with Yoshino. As for the plot of this second season, and consequently the possible end of the anime, everything flowed well, although it remains trapped by various mannerisms and clichés of the genre, such as the absurd delay in concluding the main couple's resolution. However, with slight breaths of progression in our protagonists' relationship, the anime holds up well until the end. Yet, I must say it would have been much superior if the final resolution had happened earlier, around episode 9 or 10, allowing for better development of the two and, of course, a treat for the fans by showing more of their relationship beyond just a mere kiss at the end. In conclusion, I must say I finished satisfied with this delightful teenage journey, filled with cute and loving moments, along with light touches of humor. Even though I feel a bit wanting more regarding the protagonists, I am extremely happy and satisfied seeing a rare case of a romance anime with a beautiful conclusive ending.

I really enjoyed the first season, so I was ecstatic to find out that a second season was already out! But after finishing it, it just left me feeling both satisfied and dissatisfied. First of all, the animation was disappointing, to say the least. Their weird movements were a bit hard to watch at times. But hey, I watch these mostly for the story, right? I wanted to see how everything would turn out for Masamune and Aki. But the story was confusing, oddly paced at times, and unnatural. They introduced so many plots that didn't seem to have a proper closure or understanding. Although, I liked the ending, and it was the ending that I had always hoped for. But every twist and turn they took before it seemed almost unnecessary. Or maybe it wasn't explained enough or stretched out enough. I don't know. But maybe I'll check out the manga if it's any better. The character interactions were also a bit stilted. I didn't feel any sincerity or connection from them. but hey, maybe that's just me. I do like the general ideas of the characters. They were each different and had their own subplots or motivations. But I feel it wasn't enough. Again, maybe it was better in the manga. Overall, the beginning and end were good, and it could have been a fantastic anime, but they messed up a bit in the middle. So, in conclusion, I will check out the manga.

Masamune-kun no Revenge R is a sequel myself and everyone else waited over 7 years for, even if I wasn't super excited I did still remember season 1 fondly and was looking forward to watching this. The first half or so was pretty good but in the second half especially towards the end I was absolutely lost and really found it hard to follow/understand what was going on. There were some very odd and questionable sub-plots and character actions that felt like they only served to pad the runtime and drive wedges between characters/force in drama which annoyed me quite a bit. I also sadly didn't find the payoffs to be that satisfying, there had been plenty of episodes prior leading up to these huge moments but they kind of fell flat for me, don't get me wrong I really did enjoy the finale and how it all ended up but god did it get quite convoluted and messy and that lessened a lot of my overall enjoyment. I really question why a lot of what happened did but hey I guess I did enjoy this overall.

Masamune-kun no Revenge R, ah, the enigmatic continuation of vendettas and entangled emotions. This saga revisits the pursuit of revenge with a seasoned blend of wit and heartfelt depth. Surprisingly, while the initial season left me unimpressed, the second installment was a remarkable upturn. Story: This chapter ventures deeper into the intricacies of characters' pasts, meticulously fleshing out the motivations and histories previously obscured. The evolution from the first season is palpable, embellishing the narrative with minor yet impactful twists. An unexpectedly commendable closure, scoring a solid 9/10 for surpassing initial expectations. Art: A traditional canvas in the realm of anime aesthetics. It's comfortable, offering no groundbreaking shifts but maintaining a pleasing appeal. An adequate 6/10 for adhering to convention while not venturing into innovation. Sound: The auditory backdrop aligns well with the genre's anticipated standards. It harmonizes with the narrative flow but fails to astonish beyond the expected. A resonating 6/10, holding steady within the ordinary auditory spectrum. Characters: While akin to a skillful chess game, the characters maneuver through intricate arcs. Yet, the promised depth feels more like ripples, lacking the profound plunge into character development. A 6/10 for potential that couldn't wholly satisfy the yearning for true depth. Enjoyment: Though delivering engaging moments and witty exchanges, it falls short of truly gripping a viewer. A passable 6/10, a watchable experience but not one that truly captivates. Overall: Masamune-kun no Revenge R treads the path of mediocrity with moments of brilliance. Despite its triumphs, it falls shy of etching itself into the annals of unforgettable anime. A decent 7/10, a recommendation if the premise stirs curiosity, but not an unmissable masterpiece.

Masamune-kun no Revenge R (2023) One of these shows I kept putting off since season 1 and the OVA. Now the second season is done, I decided finally it is time to watch. What did I expect? Harem, Cringe, Awkwardness. What did I get? Harem, Cringe, and a realistic end... sort of. I expected the show to stick with the harem and the main guy to be changed and move forward. What I didn't expect was the web of lies that caused the situation to be so heartwrenching. Imagine where we would be had it not happened. Also, I do like that whilst the girls still think they will get their chance, which they may! it is nice that some have accepted it won't happen and try to move on. That is great to see for a change rather than all of the other guys just stuck watching this one guy horde, everyone. The show's most realistic aspect is the body. The guy knows, the author knows, and we all know, girls may say it is cute when you are big but that doesn't mean they will date you. So whilst the girls seem to be confused at times about the motivations of the main characters for his body they do make sense to everyone else. The art itself does look really great from start to finish. The sound is nice with lots of emotion. The characters developed a lot in this series. I do wish we saw more of the mum and sister. The French girl thing was kind of random, not that great but not bad. The fem boy things seemed unusual but nice that they tried to break their shell through desire. Overall, it is a very good show, it is not perfect and I don't always think shows like this are meant to be. It isn't a deep dive like others nor is it really a comedy. It is a good 8/10. Another OVA wouldn't be bad either. This counts towards both seasons really overall.

Should you watch S2 of Masamune-kun if you have watched S1 when it originally aired? I think yes. It definitely improves upon the first season's not all too special plot, by means of some random but pretty funny twists, while keeping the already good parts good, like the great MC. Moreover, it does a good job reintroducing the side characters. The theme songs are alright but can't quite match up to WAGAMAMA MIRROR HEART. Occasionally, the plot tries to be too grandiose for its own good, and I wouldn't call it a must-watch, but it was always entertaining, never boring. I am looking forward to S3 in 2030 ;)

I liked the last season better. It was a bit chaotic, and was quite unpredictable. This season is good, but it is a much more straightforward romance. The comedy is less and the serious/dramatic moments are more. Not saying they are bad at all, but the first season was not following any particular 'formula', or at least it wasn't obvious to me that it was. In this season the anime is much more predictable as it turns the stakes up. I rated S01 as solid 7.5/10, this one for me is 6/10. Still good and obviously it's not a separate thing as the story continues exactly where it left off; but there is a very distinct difference between the feel of both seasons. The secret of why Masamune was chasing Aki gets revealed (to Aki), as well as additional things come to light which drastically change our MCs plans, and kinda shatter his world a bit because he finds out what he thought had happened is not what actually happened. So secrets get revealed, the show gets more dramatic, but not in a cheap or superficial way. I liked how it was handled pretty maturely; none of the characters overreact to the ridiculous degree you might be used to seeing in other anime. They re-evaluate their thoughts and change the way they act in a reasonable way. While the first season was presenting events and situations to have our main characters interact with each other, mainly for MC's revenge plan, it was also doing a lot of random things to just support a natural development of MC and FMC getting to know each other and maybe just being friends, not necessarily having every single of their interactions be focused on romantic development. This season is much more focused on developing the romantic side between MC and FMC. But also as other characters get their stories developed, they intersect with the main romance and so we get quite a mix at one point of who is in love with who and who is dating who and it all becomes a bit of a mess. I think it is handled alright, my main gripe would be that it was too predictable. And predictable is not necessarily bad either, but since I very much enjoyed season 1 where I couldn't predict at all what was going to happen next, this season was a bit disappointing for me. Regardless you will be happy and not very surprised to know that in the end everything gets resolved and things (relationships) are put back as they should be. I have here a small complaint, which honestly has been present in probably every romance anime I watched - that as soon as we get the 'final' resolution to whatever drama the show had (or main drama), and our favorite characters finally get together for their happy ending, the anime ends basically right then and there. And of course thats totally normal, once everything is resolved with the main romance, thats when your story is over; but I just want to see at least 1 more episode of the characters living the 'happy ending'. Instead what we get is - the drama is resolved, they get together officially and finally, and 5 seconds later the anime ends. It's not a HUGE deal and doesn't detract from what happened previously, but you are still left wanting to see just a tiny bit more of their relationship, right? We see 100% of the journey but we never get to see the destination, cuz once we reach it the credits roll. One of the main points I made in my review for S1 was that the characters were often moving the plot, and not just being passive observers while the plot happened to them; in this season I think they have quite a bite less agency, save for few exceptions towards the end. And MC and FMC are little less ... multidimensional lets say. I thought their characters were more simplified/straightforward in this season. Especially FMC - she was much more confrontational (some people might even call her a bitch!), but also more fun and interesting, in season one, I really liked her personality; here she is a more generic nice girl and honestly kind of loses her edge. Nevertheless the characters continue to act generally rational in this season, the show never goes into annoying melodrama territory, which I appreciate. There are a few twists and turns, which were okay in my opinion but nothing spectacular. Interesting to see though that I seem to be the minority in liking S1 much better, as this season got a 0.5 higher overall grade. Anyway its good, I liked seeing a resolution to our protagonists' relationship and have them get a real happy ending. If you liked S1, this is a must watch to see how the story ends, whether you will like this more or less than S1 - I have no idea, but I guarantee you it is different and not in a small way. Still recommend 6/10

The conclusion to the least vengeful revenge story in romance anime. After a first season focused on introducing the entire concept of Masamune’s "revenge" against Aki, this second part completely sets that premise aside to resolve all the story's loose ends. Masamune-kun no Revenge R is, above all, a concluding season. The goal here is to resolve conflicts, clear up misunderstandings that accumulated throughout the narrative, and finally decide the characters' fates. Without going into spoilers, I can say the plot takes some turns I honestly didn't expect. The anime spends a good deal of time developing the characters' emotional conflicts and showing that practically no one in this story was completely innocent. Each of them, in their own way, made selfish decisions, hid their feelings, or ended up hurting others. Fortunately, the show doesn't try to turn anyone into an absolute villain. On the contrary, it has everyone acknowledge their own mistakes and mature throughout the journey, which made the conclusion far more convincing than I had imagined. The initial idea of revenge was always more of an excuse to kickstart the romance than a genuine goal. As the story progresses, it becomes evident that this sentiment loses steam, making way for something much more focused on character growth and the resolution of relationships. This might disappoint those who were hoping for a more intense take on the premise, but considering the series' tone, I believe the result works well. Visually, the anime continues to deliver exactly what it showed before. The animation is competent, lacking any major standout moments, yet free of issues that would detract from the experience. For a school romance, it does its job well. The characters look good on screen, expressions are well-rendered, and everything flows consistently, even if it lacks any special flair. Unfortunately, the audio is one of the production's most forgettable aspects. Both the opening and ending themes go practically unnoticed. The songs aren't bad, but they lack the kind of impact that sticks in your memory after the anime ends. The background music follows the same pattern: it works when needed but rarely creates truly memorable moments. For me, the season's biggest strength was its conclusion. Even though the journey there had its ups and downs, I found the ending quite satisfying. It was a simple finale, consistent with the character development, that managed to wrap up the story nicely. I really didn't expect the show to take this direction, but I ended up really liking the result. Masamune-kun no Revenge R isn't a groundbreaking romance, nor does it reinvent the genre, but it delivers exactly what it promises: a competent conclusion to a story that started with an intriguing premise and evolved into something much more about personal growth than revenge. If you enjoyed the first season, this sequel is worth watching to see how the story concludes. Just don't expect major plot twists or exceptional production values; instead, look forward to an honest, pleasant wrap-up for the characters. Raiting: 6/10 =================================================================================================================Versão em Português===================================== A conclusão da vingança menos vingativa dos romances. Depois de uma primeira temporada focada em apresentar toda a ideia da "vingança" de Masamune contra Aki, esta segunda parte deixa completamente de lado essa premissa para resolver todas as pendências da história. Masamune-kun no Revenge R é, acima de tudo, uma temporada de encerramento. O objetivo aqui é concluir os conflitos, esclarecer os mal-entendidos acumulados ao longo da narrativa e finalmente decidir qual será o destino dos personagens. Sem entrar em spoilers, posso dizer que a trama toma alguns caminhos que eu sinceramente não esperava. O anime passa boa parte do tempo desenvolvendo os conflitos emocionais dos personagens e mostrando que praticamente ninguém nessa história era completamente inocente. Cada um, à sua maneira, tomou decisões egoístas, escondeu sentimentos ou acabou machucando outras pessoas. Felizmente, a obra não tenta transformar ninguém em um vilão absoluto. Pelo contrário, ela faz todos reconhecerem seus próprios erros e amadurecerem ao longo da jornada, o que acabou tornando a conclusão bem mais convincente do que eu imaginava. A ideia inicial da vingança sempre foi mais uma desculpa para dar início ao romance do que um objetivo real. Conforme a história avança, fica evidente que esse sentimento perde força e dá espaço para algo muito mais voltado ao crescimento dos personagens e à resolução de seus relacionamentos. Talvez isso decepcione quem esperava uma abordagem mais intensa da premissa, mas, considerando o tom da série, acredito que o resultado acabou funcionando. Visualmente, o anime continua entregando exatamente o que já havia mostrado anteriormente. A animação é competente, sem grandes momentos de destaque, mas também sem apresentar problemas que prejudiquem a experiência. Para um romance escolar, ela cumpre bem seu papel. Os personagens permanecem bonitos em cena, as expressões são bem feitas e tudo acontece de forma consistente, ainda que sem qualquer brilho especial. Infelizmente, a parte sonora acaba sendo um dos aspectos mais esquecíveis da produção. Tanto a abertura quanto o encerramento passam praticamente despercebidos. Não são músicas ruins, mas também não possuem aquele impacto capaz de ficar na memória depois que o anime termina. A trilha sonora durante os episódios segue a mesma linha: funciona quando precisa, mas dificilmente cria momentos realmente marcantes. O ponto mais positivo desta temporada, para mim, foi justamente sua conclusão. Mesmo que o caminho até ela tenha alguns altos e baixos, achei o desfecho bastante satisfatório. Foi um final simples, coerente com o desenvolvimento dos personagens e que conseguiu encerrar a história de maneira agradável. Eu realmente não esperava que a obra escolhesse esse rumo, mas no fim gostei bastante do resultado. Masamune-kun no Revenge R não é um romance revolucionário nem reinventa o gênero, porém entrega exatamente aquilo que promete: um encerramento competente para uma história que começou com uma premissa curiosa e acabou se tornando muito mais sobre amadurecimento do que sobre vingança. Se você gostou da primeira temporada, vale a pena assistir essa continuação para ver a conclusão da história. Não espere grandes reviravoltas ou uma produção excepcional, mas sim um fechamento honesto e agradável para os personagens. Nota: 6/10

When i first started this show was so promising, it was fun, interesting, besides the extremely long internal monologues from Masamune, i still was enjoying it a lot... then i dont know what the hell happened, it went from a fun entertaining romantic comedy to freaking unreasonable forced stupid drama. Since Gaso showed up, nothing in the show made sense, it felt like the author said "oh no, everything is going way too good, lets freaking add poorly written drama for no reason". This is literally how to ruin a good story with desperate attempts to extend it and doing it really bad. Even the ending is not worth it, why the hell was that? After making us go through all that bullsh*t the least the author could've done is giving us a proper ending but that? holy damn that was lame. I think its been a while since i regret watching a show so much.

I remember the first season being weird but interesting—and this sequel feels like a full-on emotional rollercoaster. There were definitely moments where it seemed like things might derail into a dumpster fire, but surprisingly, it turned into a genuinely engaging romance-comedy. The plot actually develops, which already sets it apart from 90% of romance anime where after 12, 20, or even 50 episodes… nothing really changes (aside from maybe adding another girl to the harem). Here, relationships evolve. The characters move forward—sure, sometimes in illogical or slightly dumb ways—but hey, nothing’s perfect. Art-wise, it’s decent for a romance anime. Facial expressions are on point, and the overall style and animation hold up well. Compared to other genres, I’d say it’s slightly above average. Would I recommend it? There are definitely some cringe and irrational moments. It’s not a smooth ride—it’s more like navigating a maze—but in the end, I think it was worth the watch.

Masamune-kun's Revenge R Season 2 takes a step further into the tangled web of its characters' relationships, but the promise of comedy falls short, giving way to a heavier emphasis on drama. The series, billed as a comedy, struggles to maintain a lighthearted tone, leaving viewers with a narrative that feels more like a messy soap opera than a humor-filled romp. One of the notable features of this season is the exploration of messy relationships among the characters. While the complexities of relationships can add depth to a story, Masamune-kun's Revenge R seems to revel in the chaos, presenting viewers with convoluted and often juvenile plotlines. The attempt to inject drama into the narrative overshadows the comedic elements, making the series feel more like a melodramatic exploration of romantic entanglements. The characters, unfortunately, continue to lack redeeming qualities. Instead of evolving and becoming more relatable, they remain stagnant or devolve into even more unlikable versions of themselves. The absence of characters with whom viewers can empathize or root for diminishes the overall enjoyment of the series. Masamune-kun's Revenge R does differentiate itself from typical harem anime by embracing a unique approach, but the novelty doesn't translate into quality. The series struggles to find a balance between its comedic roots and the newfound emphasis on drama, leaving the overall tone inconsistent and difficult to engage with. While harem anime often succeed in bringing a smile to the viewer's face, Masamune-kun's Revenge R takes a different route, introducing a level of drama and trauma that may leave audiences feeling more depressed than entertained. The series loses the charm that makes harem anime enjoyable and fails to provide the uplifting and light-hearted moments that fans of the genre typically seek. In conclusion, Masamune-kun's Revenge R Season 2 sacrifices its comedic foundation in favor of a messy blend of drama and juvenile plotting. The lack of redeeming qualities in its characters, coupled with the deviation from the expected harem anime formula, results in a viewing experience that may disappoint fans seeking the lighthearted enjoyment characteristic of the genre. The series, unfortunately, falls short of delivering a satisfying balance between comedy and drama, leaving viewers with a sense of unfulfilled potential.

With more dramatic story beats, interpersonal and intrapersonal conflicts, and a steady forward momentum to draw out and expand the romantic implications laid out in the first season, Masamune-kun no Revenge R is a strong sequel that brings finality and tackles the consequences of Masamune's plot to exact revenge on Aki. Does his plan come to fruition? Does Masamune realize how ridiculous his plan is? What is its aftermath and how do the characters truly feel about themselves and each other? Season 2 is a recommended watch for viewers seeking answers to these questions and the branching ramifications they imply. This second season of Masamune aired quite long after the first season, so it makes sense that there are more callbacks to and recaps of the first season than many other second-seasons. However, the season does a good job keeping these callbacks concise and limiting them to the most important details to establish the setting and conflicts, doing decently well enough that a season 1 rewatch wouldn't be necessary to be caught up to speed with the plot and its characters. Masamune-kun no Revenge R does a great job of portraying its characters as multi-layered with personal disquietudes: they are not perfect and flawless, but they are not one-dimensionally awful, either. The characters come to realize this, too, and Aki, Neko, Yoshino, and Masamune all have their share of thoughtful introspection, developing and nursing moral conflict in the pursuit of romance. Season 2 does rely on the often-used trope of romantic misunderstandings to create dramatic tension, but allows its characters to muster the courage to directly address these misunderstandings to each other without dragging them out for too long. However, the show's proactiveness to resolve misunderstanding runs a little too quickly sometimes, and in some instances doesn't allow struggles and reactions to marinate and grow organically before moving along with the story. In some spots the pacing of season 2 quickly runs through what should be important transitions: the show often backpedals by showing the aftermath of a critical event first and then portraying that event as a flashback or monologue rather than telling the story straight-up, which would probably be more fulfilling and engaging. That said, it is refreshing to see that the misunderstandings and realizations that come to shape the intentions of the central characters are taken seriously and have meaningful consequences regarding how characters see each other. Aki continues to come across as a bit stubbornly annoying in this season and the series sometimes seems hesitant to scale down the tsundere mold at times, but the other core characters provide a convincing and engaging presence. Masamune-kun no Revenge R features more drama than the first season, but it's more of a slight curve in emotional tone rather than a sharp change. A balanced romantic/comedic atmosphere still prevails, and the season mostly does a good job in not spoiling its more dramatic moments with random comedy, as well as regularly maintaining its funny moments. The opening arc involving Muriel does seem a bit pointless but provides an on-ramp easing the tonal transition from the comedic overtones of the first season to the more dramatic undertones of the second. While most viewers will probably be able to infer the general direction of the plot, this installment throws intriguing wrenches and roadbumps that spice up the road to the series's conclusion. Some of these dramatic details do seem a little manufactured, but thankfully, the show has well-formed and well-established characters that make these twists and turns all the more engaging. The story also stays focused by ensuring that all of these twists are directly connected to the primary thrust of the plot (Masamune's plan to make Aki fall for him and break up as revenge for her coldly rejecting him in childhood). The ending of season 2 concludes the series with a strong sense of finality, though the aforementioned tendency for the story to skip forward and reflect back makes the ending a little unfulfilling, skipping over elaborating how we got there and leaving some questions unanswered for the side characters. The ending is a bit rushed and comes rather suddenly, developing discordantly compared to episode 11, which set up what would have been a very surprising, unique, and sensible ending. Nonetheless, the ending and the trip there that season 2 affords offers an intriguing array of character development and finality that many fans of the first season of Masamune-kun no Revenge will enjoy.

To have a sequel for this anime is definitely a dream come true for those who love it. Back in 2017, I was an entire newbie as an anime watcher but a Naruto die-hard fan. Masamune kun no Revenge is on my list of anime that I really wish to have another season of, as the concept of the story is remarkable, and I would never have thought I would be writing a review for the second season of it after 6 years. Although I can barely remember what happened in the first season, the MC, Makabe Masamune, left no stone unturned in seeking revenge, and to achieve that, the girl who used to be his childhood friend and had turned into a tsundere must fall in love with him in the first place without recognising him. Just the background story of the main characters is enough to make the show unprecedented. However, more kinds of unpredictable settings came along along the way, and you can only feel surprised following the plot. Frankly, the anime isn’t disappointing, and I think it makes a brilliant comeback. The start of the second season is merely amazing, as it continues to break my cognition of the show in the second season. As I am not a manga reader, the story is quite surprising to me once the truth behind the misconception within the love triangle (Koiwai, Masamune, and Adagaki) has been revealed. My perspective towards Adagaki and Koiwai has totally reversed since the misconception was exposed, and I am now totally on Adagaki’s side, whereas initially I was not. Talking about the plot from an overall viewpoint, the pace of season 2 might seem to be rushed, or some cuts of the story might jump up out of nowhere. Anyway, I do enjoy all the absurd yet astounding plot twists and outcomes of every episode. It’s been a good time to see such a rom-com with entertaining drama. Other than the plot, the adaptation of animation and visuals has been done so well that it doesn’t really influence me , what i mean is that it's still within my acceptable range and I did not expect for once that this animation would be completely spotless at all. In this case, the uniformity of animation is slightly slacked off. However, the story and OST has its own special vibes that live up to its role in making the anime memorable. Last but not least, the successful adaptation of the second season without broken animation is really a blessing, and I have got to say it’s a decent moment in the ACG community. Although the original source has not ended yet, the full stop is put in the right spot in season 2. We would be lucky if there will be a season 3 by any chance in the future. Whatever it is, season 2 has been thrilling. Words can't describe how grateful I am to those who made this happen after years, and hopefully we can get more sequels for other old anime that people have been longing for.
