Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya 2wei!

Another lovely summer goes by for Illyasviel von Einzbern. Taking a break from her magical girl duties, she enjoys her time off after collecting the Class Cards with her best friend Miyu Edelfelt.

However, her break comes to an abrupt end when she and Miyu are abducted by Rin Toosaka and Luviagelita Edelfelt, while out with her friends. The magical girls learn that their work is far from over, as Clock Tower informs them that the out of control mana thought to have been sealed continues to be dispersing throughout Fuyuki City. After heading to the origin point of the out of control mana, Illya and Miyu are tasked with solving the anomaly.

But after casting their spell, Illyasviel discovers that she's split into two people! As this mysterious new form darts off, she can only wonder: what is to come from the existence of her dopplegänger, running amok in the unsuspecting town?

If you're here you've probably watched first season. And you're interested if it's worth watching another.

Regardless of this review I think you WILL watch this, because nobody watches 1st season of Fate/Kaleid to the end and doesn't watch 2nd. Just, nobody.

Still, you want to know how good it will be before watching. Let me tell you straight, it's much better than season 1. 2 Wei is literally twice as good as first.

While half-a-joke (you'll get joke after 1 episode) it's really much better. It was like - "I just came to see some more cute girls doing cute stuff and HOLY S**T THAT ...

Mixed Feelings

It seems contradictory and abominable to follow up a review of an excellent Fate series with a review of a dreadful one, but what better way to kill the anticipation for Unlimited Blade Works’ second season than watching something that turns the entire franchise into a joke? After all, who can’t help but laugh at the giant freaking title? What is it with anime having ridiculously long, pointless titles comprised of gibberish?

It’s a month after Illya got her magic wand, Ruby, and things are going swimmingly. They’ve captured all seven Clow…er…regular cards (these contain the Heroic Spirits), Rin and Luvia appear to be on friendly ... terms (though still hate each other and are only doing it as per orders), and Illya and Miyu are still on their way to being total lesbians. It’s all well and good until they go with Rin to a magical ley line and accidentally split Illya into two personalities. There’s her regular personality, then there’s her grail/Archer self. This isn’t well explained, but it doesn’t matter because Chloe, as she calls herself, is best girl and gets a free pass.

Chloe’s character is a mix between Rin and Miyu. Her character starts as the antagonist who wants to kill Illya and take her place, becomes her main rival in love and school, tries to turn Illya’s friends against her,she learns what she really is and her purpose, reconciles with the protagonist, and the two have a friendly rivalry.

The vast majority of this ten episode series is about Chloe and Illya’s rocky relationship. Toward the end a badass fighter for the church, Bazett, appears for absolutely no reason other than to pad the show out, and then it’s over with pretty much nothing resolved.

I wasn’t as offended by this season as I was the first because it focuses more on the “plot”(what little there is) and most of the annoyances of the first season are gone, notably the shrill fighting between Rin and Luvia.

There’s great action here and occasionally funny comedy–enough of it to keep the average viewer watching. But it’s still a show appealing to loli-cons so expect scenes taking place in pointlessly half-naked to full-naked places. A lot of gym class bloomers and a lot of nude ten year olds in the bath. Deep lesbian kisses too. There’s the tease of a beach episode at the very beginning that never comes to fruition but I’m certain it’ll kick off the third season.

And then there’s Shiro, whom Illya and Chloe are fighting over. Oh, and Rin and Luvia are in love with him too though this little bit of romantic uselessness doesn’t ever go anywhere.

I can’t think of much to say about this show. It’s too short and doesn’t have enough going on to really start a discussion. It’s slightly better than the first season in execution, has good animation, a decent addition in Chloe, and a few good action scenes. But otherwise, it’s a very basic, underwhelming piece of loli exploitation. It exists in a state of perpetual mediocrity, though has a few merits that make it worth a watch if you’re a fan of Kaleid or were mildly amused by the first season.

Minor spoilers.

This review is written with the assumption that you have seen the prequel, Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya.

Sense of place. The term can be used in many different ways. For some it may be unique places like ones bedroom, for others it may be about an attachment to a group of people where one feels safe and free to express oneself. We all seek a place to belong, somewhere where warmth emits. Some are lucky to find attachment early during their childhood while others struggle to. When you do not find a place, you feel left outside, alone, scared, cold and that is when one ...
