Senyuu. 2

When a hole opened up in the world and monsters flooded out, humanity prepared for the demon lord Rukimedes' rise once again. However, even the gravity of this situation cannot impede the antics of straight man hero Alba Frühling and sadist soldier Ross.

Ross, trapped within a plane between two worlds due to Januar Ein's magic, encounters the demon lord taking a nap and looking far too comfortable in his confinement. Simultaneously, Alba, once again in prison, has been sidelined in favor of his eccentric companion's hijinks.

Although separated, Ross and Alba continue their attempts to prevent the demon lord's resurgence, but unbeknownst to them, a ghost from Ross' past may just threaten their quest's success.

I have no idea why I enjoy this show so much. I watched the first season and thought it hilarious, and here I am again, back for the ride.

Why is it so appealing, I will never be able to figure it out. There's just something ineffably charming about it that steals my heart.

First of all, unlike most short anime, there is an actual storyline. That in and of itself makes it so much better than other short series that just serve as quick gags that barely span a minute or two. In addition, there is actual characterization and vague relationships portrayed between the ... characters, which I really appreciate.

There is art quality, surprising as it may be. It is simple and nothing amazing, but it is colorful, distinctive, and adds to the comedy, which is pretty refreshing.

The sound is nothing too special, but the ending themes are generic and fun to say the least.

Lastly, the characters are what I enjoy most. Ros is obviously my favorite (I have a think for sassy dark haired sadistic jerks, lol) but it was hard to dislike any character because they're all so fun and entertaining.

I loved this so much! I'm eagerly waiting for that third season :D

I would recommend this if you: like gag anime, like short shows, like 'plot twists', like 'mc abuse', like randomness, liked the first season

I would NOT recommend this if you: wanted a serious plot or are extremely sensitive to pedophile jokes

If you want a more serious version of this, I would recommend Akatsuki No Yona, which takes place in a similar time period about a princess journeying to collect warriors to take back her kingdom. It's one of my favorites and it has a similar feel to Senyuu.

Have a great day everyone!

I can't wait 30 years for the next part! ( You'll understand if you watch it ). Afterall this i one of my favourites, The MC is a sadist, he's OP he's badass and funny. What's better than that?
The Story is amazing, it takes you inside their world, especially that plot twist near the end ( What plot twist you ask? Watch it and you'll know.)
The artwork and the soundtracks are also great, i truly loved ( i doubt that they will be uoto the standard in 2150 but they'll definitely work till 2069 ).
The characters and their development is also amazing, ... you've probably watched its prequel (which you should before watching this) so you'll understand what I'm talking about.

This favourite of mine is definitely worth a watch and let me tell there is no way you'll be disappointed ( unless you watch in upside-down, at 072 pix with no audio 10m away from the mobile screen ). Even your old grumpy stubborn neighbor will laugh after watching this

As a person who read the (web) manga afterwards, I feel like it's my duty to criticize a few points in this anime. While it is one of my all time favorites, and the adaptation is impeccable, I have a few points to make.

[THERE MIGHT BE SPOILERS FOR THE WEB MANGA but they were supposed to be in the anime so they're pretty minor]

STORY - 9/10
It was enjoyable. Yes, it focused more on LE PLOT, but meh, it was still pretty funny. They adapted the web comic pretty well and actually added its own fun nuances and references, like the bit that mimics and parodies ... JJBA. One thing I'm not pleased with is the fact that the anime cut out an entire part that should have been present in episodes 24-26. I'll get to that in the character part.

ART - 8/10
From what I know, the budget here was sliiiiiightly lower, but it's still good. It's colorful like the original, I wish it wasn't so saturated, because it was a bit much at times. It fit though, so I'm not complaining.

CHARACTER - 8/10
The characters are a delight. I'd give this a full ten if they didn't cut out two characters. One's not so important but the other one IS, and it sucks. If they're ever planning on adapting volume 2, they're going to have to go back and animate that part. [SLIGHT SPOILERS AHEAD, VAGUE BUT MIGHT WANT TO SKIP THE REST OF THIS PARAGRAPH]
I'm talking about Neun (more commonly spelled as Noin bc of fan error) September and August. The latter, as I said, isn't as important but Neun takes center stage in the very beginning of volume 2. His introduction, I'd say, is FAIRLY IMPORTANT. This is also a very biased part of the review, lol. He's my favorite, so I'm pretty butthurt.

Enjoyment - 10/10
Overall, Senyuu may be short, but it's worth every second. It's a well adapted anime that is hilarious and easily recognizable, and it's fun to read the source material afterwards. Definitely recommend.
