I have to admit. Nurarihyon no Mago was pretty disappointing for me since it didn't feel interesting. Heck I dropped out of it a few time before I finally watched the whole thing. So when I saw Nurarihyon no Mago: Sennen Makyou, I wasn't too happy, but I noticed how the cover didn't have Rikou in his human form, only his youkai form along with his clan and some new characters and I gave it a try. Believe me, I have no regrets making that decision.

Story: This is definitely a lot better than the first season. We have more background information, there is a specific plot starting from episode 1, just perfect. The villain everything is not what you expect. There isn't exactly the typical cliché of "protagonist loosing, remembers something, gets power up, wins". It's a little like that, but at some parts where you expect the character to win, NOPE! It's just... Brilliant. The story got me hooked once I started it and that is something not a lot of anime can make me do.

Art: Everyone has their own opinion for this category, but I think the art is pretty good. It's not over-the-top detailed nor very simple. The designs of the characters are quite unique like the three heirs. They look similar, but have something different from each other as well.

Sound: I love the soundtrack in this. Every time something epic is going to happen, you'll know its going to happen because of the soundtrack. The soundtrack also makes the whole series a lot better with the tension and mythical mood to it. The openings and endings are pretty good as well.

Character: Definitely a lot more character changes in this. For example, the first villain. You think they're only this to take over the world and all of youkai and is planning something that will bring darkness to everyone. But when you realize the whole story, you feel bad for her and understand why she did it in the first place. Another thing that I loved was how Rikou and his clan is forming a stronger bond throughout the story. Rikou managed to form a bond stronger than before in the end with everyon, even the Tono Yokais.

Enjoyment: This was definitely entertaining. I don't know how much times I re-watched this and never get bored. Nuff said.

Overall: This is one of those "must watch before you die" animes.
