Ushio to Tora (TV) 2nd Season

This anime is peak. It’s got those raw 90s vibes, has some darkness in it but balances really well with the comedy. It has everything, amazing animation, intense action, a gripping storyline, and one of the most badass protagonist duos I’ve seen in a while.

Not gonna lie, this is one of the few anime that actually made me cry in a long while. And not just once, but several times. The emotional depth hits hard and the soundtrack? Absolute fire. The music elevates every scene and it barely any fanservice. It's focused entirely on telling a meaningful story, and it delivers really well cause ... it jsut keeps gettign betetr and better the more you advance.

It’s a remake, yeah, but a damn good one. It deserves way more attention. You’ll connect with the main character in a way that stays with you. So trust me when I say it’s worth your time, do yourself a favor and watch it.

Ushio no Tora is basically the definition of Shonen, in my opinion. So many qualities of shonen fall into perfect places with this series.

Now, that's not a bad thing at all. If you love shonen, this show will slap some goodness up your alley.

[S P O I L E R ALERT!]

[I repeat, spoiler beyond this point]

I do wish they did a lot more with the storyline. Maybe it is because there were no fillers and they got straight to the point but I feel like too many experiences Ushio had were too relevant (with the exception of Nagare's story - which ... was the most realistic, deep, and authentic part of this whole series imo). Coming from past experiences with other shonen anime giving arcs of fillers, this was definitely a new thing to experience; which was nice.

I especially enjoyed the kissable animation of this series! I only found out MAPPA was part of the production a few episodes in but even before then, the animation was what kept me watching this anime (that and Tora).

Happy watching~

without hesitation or the lesser doubt this is imo the worst second season in the history of seasons.
Characters have ZERO credibility, they act like brainless puppets moved by lazy writers who recur to the lowest and cheapest tricks to compensate their lack of creativity.
Thousand plot holes make of this season a Swiss cheese.
Nothing makes sense and everything is just very rushed and very stereotyped, and even emotions are forced/unnatural.
At the end so many things left in the air.
I do not even remember when was the last time I hated something this much.
The fact is, season 1 was really good, so, the way the writers ruined ... everything makes me so deeply indignant and outraged and makes this anime for me overall one of the very worst shows I have ever seen.
In other words, because I loved S1, I hate S2 so much.
