Shin Koihime†Musou

The sequel to the equally ecchi, cute and entertaining Koihime Musou. And just like it's predecessor, do not expect anything much from it's sequel.

Story:
The story picks up from where it left off last season with the gang on another journey full of eye-pleasing antics, random panty shots and ridiculous situations. And like the first season, each episode of Shin Koihime Musou presents a different tale in their journey in which the gang meet new friends and help them or meeting old friends and getting caught up in their desires. Needless to say there is no real plot; though they do attempt to create one.

Art:
Probably not the best I've seen but it's certainly attention-grabbing. The character design is quite cute and is typical of an ecchi show. Each character is unique in the way that none of them share any common visual traits making each easily recognizable. The clothing design is simply great and again, each pair of clothing is unique from each other though all of them are equally skimpy and revealing; enough so that falling down causes a panty shot. The background is nothing special. Vibrant yes but simplistic.

Sound:
A new OP/ED which is neither good nor bad but is there for the sake of having it. There is a nice surprise in the show in the form of some singing sisters though they only do sing one or two songs but the last episode makes up for it. The BGM is average and sticks to the era they are in.

Character:
There are new characters for the audience to ogle while the old characters are brought back in with the same personality and random desires. The gang themselves do not change and with the addition of a new girl, they just get more eccentric. No development in the characters nor any major changes.

Enjoyment:
Like the first season, I enjoyed this show for what it is. I did not expect any plot or any depth but simply watched it for the fun and ecchi. The majority of the jokes had already been done and only a few really made me laugh. The ecchi gets repetitive and boring (if there was such a thing) but despite that I enjoyed it enough to make it through the entire season.

Overall:
A nice sequel to a show which stands on a foundation of ecchi and far-fetched situations and is certainly not one for those who don't like the idea of yuri ecchi. Ecchi fans will be delighted while ecchi haters will turn their heads in disgust. The 6 is an appropriate score to a show which has no plot and focuses on the interaction between the characters. read more

Finally a sequel to the first season of Koihime Musou. To be honest, I was expecting more from the second season but it turned out to be a below average show.

Story:
Here's the main issue about the second season. The story of this show is pretty low to none in my opinion. It's about a team of female warriors traveling through different kingdoms without any real objectives. In my opinion they did try to make some kind of story but it wasn't any good at all. They just kept traveling back and forth helping old friends with the weirdiest issues.

Art:
The art is just as the first season. Nothing was really well drawn or crappy drawn. It's just your typical harem female warriors animation quality.

Sound:
Compared to the first season, the sound wasn't as good as the first season. The OP/ED song were decent. During the 12 episodes there were different songs being song, and a few of them were actually good in my opinion. I end up skipping the OP/ED on every episode.

Character:
Same as first season. There aren't any new main characters in season two. Nobody changed compared to the first season. All their personality remained the same.

Enjoyment:
I felt I didn't enjoyed the second season as much as the first season. The jokes weren't as good as the first season, and at some point you will get tired of the same echiness.

Overall:
If you want to kill some time or you're bored or a big fan of echi/comedy/random story anime, feel free to watch it, otherwise there are better animes out there to spend your time. I end up watching most of the episodes while chatting on msn/irc. The "score" 5 doesn't mean it's total crap, it means it's an average show with nothing really special. read more
