Synopsis

Several months have passed since the infamous Ginza Incident, with tensions between the Empire and JSDF escalating in the vast and mysterious "Special Region" over peace negotiations. The greed and curiosity of the global powers have also begun to grow, as reports about the technological limitations of the magical realm's archaic civilizations come to light.

Meanwhile, Lieutenant Youji Itami and his merry band of female admirers struggle to navigate the complex political intrigue that plagues the Empire's court. Despite her best efforts, Princess Piña Co Lada faces difficulties attempting to convince her father that the JSDF has no intention of conquering their kingdom. Pressured from both sides of the Gate, Itami must consider even more drastic measures to fulfill his mission.

The events continue from the first season with the Fire Dragon mission, followed by side missions until the war and political coup begin. Overall, it was enjoyable but fell short of the first season's level due to some events feeling irrelevant to the main storyline. Additionally, there were episodes with a modified version from the studio, including the ending.

With the expansion of the world, the number of characters increased significantly. The role of the Itami' Battalion diminished, and new characters took up more than two episodes dedicated to them, or even an entire arc. This was a positive aspect, as it developed the side characters.

Somehow Worse than season 1. I don't see how people rate this a 7. I want to like it, I really do but the bad writing makes it darn near impossible.
Maybe it's not as bad in the comics/manga but holy shit man. Primarily the bunny lady, but even if she wasn't in the story at all it would simply go from Bad to Mediocre/Boring writing with a lack of depth.
Also a lot of open ends but that's of course because the show is over but the Manga goes way further I imagine.
I won't go into spoilers but literally every single issue with season ...

Simp author as always. One of the ministers or whatever decided to break a treaty just to save a little girl, threatening the credibility and safety of the whole nation, pedophile author. MC and friends killed hundreds of the raiders yet decided to let the bird girl or whatever she was live, why? because she's a girl duh. Really threw me off there. She was literally raiding a town, trying to kill and pillage a town yet MC and friends let her live while all the others were massacred. Dumb story, all revolve around saving girls. Just a really bad one, if you were going ...
