Synopsis

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.

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 read more

Senyuu 2 was the sequel of Senyuu, which was a very unique short which is mostly focused on mocking other shounens and the general fantasy setting as a whole. The season 2 somewhat deviated from the 1st as it tried to focus a bit more on story and as a matter of fact that sacrificed some of the wacky humor that the show had in the first season. It also introduces a bunch of new characters who might not be as fun as the old ones as a whole but some of them truly are very funny.

Story
It still follows the hero Alba in his epic(?) journey for peace, but this time he is estranged from the Royal soldier Ross as the initial group gets separated. And the eventually has to face many new obstacles and villains to finally be reunited. What this season does is focus on the story a bit more occasionally sacrificing the gag anime like humor, specially the stuff like mocking other animes bit was almost absent from this season. And at times I had to ask the same question as the narrator does, "Where are all the jokes?'' In the end it still had its funny and really enjoyable moments and turns out quite fun for its short duration, but it does lack in this regard compared to the last season, so gets 7 out of 10.

Characters
While Alba, Ruki, Rudlof, Hime and the masochistic cat are really as fun as ever, some other old characters like Ross really went in a sad direction as they almost lost their defining characteristics due to the plot line. Among the new characters Samejima was really awesome with his manly man attitude, but the rest of the new ones really lack the flavor or uniqueness of the old ones, so this was also a step back. It gets 6.5 out of 10 for the disappointments.

Art/Animation
The change in art to convey the humor was almost like the first season, although it really was noticeable less this season due to the focus shifting from the wacky humor a bit. Sadly the varying opening sequences which I liked quite a lot from the last season is missing and that fact was quite sad. It gets 6 out of 10.

Sound
The show received the most improvement in this regard which was quite odd actually. While the in-show was not anything special, the opening "Canary" by Granrodeo was very good and the ending punky and wacky "QUESTERS!" by Alba (Hiro Shimono) was really something that the show really needed as music from the start (just check-out the lyrics if you don't believe). This gets 8 out of 10.

This season was definitely a step back from the last one, and specially the cliffhanger ending really was quite annoying as there is no news of a 3rd season anywhere and even the mangas are not completely translated. But the whole season was a very short watch, still had some amazingly funny moments and was never quite boring despite its lacking.
Overall Score -
6.5 out of 10.

Story: (9/10)

We were left off in that horrible cliff hanger in Senyuu and now we go right back on to the story!

Senyuu 2 given us with a more serious plot and tone then the first one and even contains death that the narrator himself can't contain his surprise and fear.

No seriously though, it is still a comedy and should be taken as a comedy with 15 seconds of serious time that is ruined by their golden comedy.

In Senyuu we were left off with Alba still in prison with our Cinderella of love, Rudolph. The castle head maid, Ares. The princess, Hime and the blonde one, read more

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, read more
