Synopsis

After finally completing the first route of his visual novel, Blessing Software's producer Tomoya Aki is optimistic about the future of his team and achieving their goal of creating the best game of the season.

However, they still have a long way to go. For one, Megumi Katou still has an incredibly flat personality and is unable to fit the role of Tomoya's ideal heroine. The other members of Blessing Software, Eriri Spencer Sawamura, Utaha Kasumigaoka, and Michiru Hyoudou, often forget she is even there due to her lack of presence and character.

Throughout the development of their game, Blessing Software learns the struggles of working in an industry where deadlines must be met and edits are made constantly, and the hardships of working in a group setting.

This is the second season of Saekano and like it should it starts of after the ending of the first one.
I liked the first season but to me it didn't seem to be anything special or worth remembering, i mean you had the best girl fight like you have in any harem show nowadays, but this second season just raised the bar so high that it kept me waiting and hoping that thursday would finally come so i could watch this show.
Story - 9
-This story is very straightforward, you have the MC, Tomoya and his circle trying to make ...

Mixed Feelings

The first season was my 2nd most favourite slice of life/drama anime of all time (topped by Yahari) and I enjoyed the second season but the tone was very different from the first. It dragged the drama to the next episode and then the next and then the next until the last one. I loved many scenes in it especially with Kato, but the anime didn't go as I wished the first season would.
First season gave me positive feelings and appreciation for every small thing, but the second season made me feel that watching it was a chore not fun anymore. It was depressing and ...

Saekano.. I can't say I had high hopes for season 2, but I was definitely hoping for at least an improvement from season 1. And boy was I disappointed. If anything it's a downgrade, which is frustrating considering so little romcoms get a season 2.

First off, the show picks up after the events of season 1 which, is fine and all until the events unfold and you realize there's no development of any of the characters.

Tomoya Aki- The same seemingly passionate yet also dense, boring, pet MC who continues to rely on girls who only want one thing from him: his c o c k.

Eriri ... Spencer Sawamura - The same overdramatic childhood friend who cries for her prince charming to worship and cater to only her...Despite not giving a hoot about his own aspirations.

Utaha Kasumigaoka- The same "older" character on this show who also doesn't care about the MC's aspirations and is only good for......fanservice?

AND the best girl on this show(not much of an accomplishment) Megumi Kato-
.............. not much to say about her, she's still the same emotionless 3rd choice who's only relevant when the other two girls aren't in the picture.

Season 2 is a repeat of season 1 which is a downgrade because it's like watching an already average TV show for the second time.. You can't help but notice all the bad and overdramatic/lackluster plotlines. Add that to increasingly unlikable characters, an unhealthy amount of fanservice, flat out wasted screentime, and a random/rushed plotline 9 episodes in and you'll come to this conclusion: Saekano season 2 is horrible. On a positive note, the art is done well so at least they didn't cut the budget for the one thing they had going for them. It's a shame that the art was wasted on such a dumpster of a show though.

**SPOILER***
In case you're looking for a summary of the plot it's as follows: Tomoya wants to complete a project. Needs the "prodigious minds" of his two waifus to do so. They each claim their own work is more important yet simultaneously cry and moan that the MC is essential to each of their well-beings and ALREADY successful careers(WAIFU GOALS RIGHT????). The MC being the dog he is then helps each one until they're satisfied(thus consequently neglecting his own work). After being satisfied, they both leave the MC in the dust suddenly for a once in a lifetime joint opportunity(funny way of saying thank you). Option # 3 says some words and is there for the MC. Happy reunion a couple days later. Tomoya smiles at the sight of his dream crushed by his two girlf--- frien---acquaintan---..masters. And they all live happily ever aft...Zzz............

Conclusion: 3/10
Acting job of Eriri Spencer as a damsel in distress: 9000/10
