SynopsisFollowing the first season, Tomoharu is now faced with a dilemma: if he doesn't form a contract with an 'akuma', he risks losing his dear friend Takatsuki. However, doing so would compromise his own existence as it would result in him and his ghost friend Misao becoming an Asura Cryin' -mankind's biggest threat, according to their school's presidents. To make the decision even harder, Tomoharu and Misao have recovered some of their past memories -memories of a world that they didn't even know existed. |

The whole story of Asura Cryin' is quite bizarre and maybe complicated but everything does make sense despite all its weirdness.
First of all, if you are reading this review (no spoiler) I assume that you've seen the first season; understood the relation between handlers, burial dolls and demons(akumas); and most of all that you’re interested in what happens next (the sooner you watch the sequel the better because of all the terminology you have to remember).
Following the first season Tomoharu now knows that the Asura Machina uses the soul energy of its burial doll; in his case the emotions and soul of his friend Misao. Because of this, he’s now looking for a way to separate her from Kurogane (name of his Asura Machina). On the other hand, his demon friend Kanade, as an unnatural being in the world, can’t use her powers to aid Natsume because of the “Hizaika” (the effect that makes demons disappear little by little when they use their abilities without a contractor).
So this is the initial setting given in this second season. All about the journey to find some device to save Misao doesn’t look promising at all but I must say that what makes this season very superior to the previous one is the crazy turn of events and the main plot regarding all those flashbacks you’ve seen before. Yes, all those confusing flashbacks from the first season that made you wonder “what was that again?” are now explained in this sequel. Now the story is no more about finding Naotaka, escaping from the student council or finding some stabilizer; this time the series has bigger plans for Natsume and company. Since there’s much more at risk the events occurring now involve more action and give a feeling of curiosity about what’s coming next.
The art of this anime is no better than average, it doesn’t overwhelm you but it could disappoint you especially considering all the mechas and powers you see in it. In contrast of the art, the sound is awesome I personally loved the OP/ED by Angela the most; also the voice roles are accurate to the personalities. As for the characters, the main difference to the first season is that Ania plays a bigger part in this season.
Overall, the enjoyment of this anime is guaranteed in almost all of it, if you liked the first season or you think it was interesting but not well developed you will find Asura Cryin’2 fascinating. This second season is the bigger half of the story so you won’t be lost in the end wondering what happened. read more

ok this is my first review so go easy on me
well many many people said that the asura cryin series suck but i will explain why they say that: like 90% of the people who say that only saw the first season and have to warn u if u only watch the first season U WONT UNDERSTAND A THING OF THIS ANIME. this isnt a story that has a season and if its succesefull thay make a second one, no that not the case, this series was intended to have 2 seasons thats why u wont unsderstand anythinf just by watching the second season.
when u start seeing the second season u will get captured by the storyline and by the way the plot and story starts to develop and the evolution of the romantic part was prety good too (^^)
Loved the arts from the final batle it reminded me litle of gurren lagann :D and the OP of the first season in the final batle was EPIC!!!!
well overall i give t a 9 cause it was realy emnjoyable art was prety good the story developed very well and the sound (speacialy in the end) was very good and because it ad a very conclusive ending, it was not like most animes in oour days that have inconclusive endings thats why i advise u to see this anime :D
PS: DONT TRY TO WATCH THE SECOND SEASON WITHOT SEEING THE FIRST UR U WONT UNDERSTAND A THING!! HAPPY HOLYDAYS EVERYONE ^^ read more

♫the main protagonists (Tomoharu and Touma) just keep going into fights for the sake of their dear female friends♫
♫both series have supernatural elements and wonderful art♫
♫both main protagonists are surrounded with female friends that seems to have feelings for him♫

♫in both Asura Cryin' 2 and Ga-Rei Zero, the protagonists (Tomoharu and Kagura, respectively) find their family members too busy with their own lives, and end up forming arguably stronger bonds with a few close friends♫
♫both Tomoharu and Kagura possess great power and use it to fight evil, although Kagura is more aware of her situation compared to Tomoharu, who is ofen baffled by whatever fiasco in which he finds himself♫
♫Ga-Rei is darker by far, but the protagonists in both series must struggle with difficult choices involving whether to fight and whether their friends are worth sacrificing for the greater good♫
