Synopsis

After finally completing the first route of his visual novel, Blessing Software's producer Tomoya Aki is optimistic about the future of his team and achieving their goal of creating the best game of the season.

However, they still have a long way to go. For one, Megumi Katou still has an incredibly flat personality and is unable to fit the role of Tomoya's ideal heroine. The other members of Blessing Software, Eriri Spencer Sawamura, Utaha Kasumigaoka, and Michiru Hyoudou, often forget she is even there due to her lack of presence and character.

Throughout the development of their game, Blessing Software learns the struggles of working in an industry where deadlines must be met and edits are made constantly, and the hardships of working in a group setting.

This is the second season of Saekano and like it should it starts of after the ending of the first one.
I liked the first season but to me it didn't seem to be anything special or worth remembering, i mean you had the best girl fight like you have in any harem show nowadays, but this second season just raised the bar so high that it kept me waiting and hoping that thursday would finally come so i could watch this show.
Story - 9
-This story is very straightforward, you have the MC, Tomoya and his circle trying to make ...

Mixed Feelings

After watching its two seasons, I can comfortable to say that it's pretty watchable. I actually quit this anime few years ago because of fanservice and I find it pretty boring to watch. When I tried watch it again, I think that with its flaws and all, I think it's much better than any other trash anime out there. The fanservice didn't annoyed me as much as I did in other raunchy anime shows. The story was pretty decent and kept me engage enough in every episodes although there are times that I still feel like it's a bit slow and it still have ... those cliche cut out scenes from any other romantic comedy anime. I can only see that who ever in charge of this production that they did care about presentation and the quality of art they are showing. There are slight moments (casual moments) where the characters do kind of stuffs and it make sense for their character to do it. I really do appreciate when shows do those kind of stuffs. There also fantastic moments where Megumi would act as the main heroine and she just look so beautiful and cute because of presentation and directing of that scenes. The major part that I didn't enjoy in this show is the characters. I feel like they mainly focus on only two characters and that didn't even make me like those characters at all. I guess in some way I can say that by knowing the backstories of those characters it kind a make senses where the direction of the story went. Still, I didn't really sympathize with those characters at all. I don't even feel anything or feel sad with them when they were going through something hard or just simply when they showed their emotions. I just give zero fucks about them. I care more about the characters that I like than watching them. There were also times that I just want to skip the scenes where those characters have their conversations. The cousin character was not explored very well. She's one of major characters in the story but I feel like she just one of side characters. I think the author self-aware about the weird dynamic inside their circle (Blessing Software). Their dynamic were never really that good and the characters reasons of joining the circle was never solid but the author took the advantage of that and made that something in the story. The one thing that really shined in the show is the character development of Megumi. The show perfectly illustrated the growing presences of Megumi as the story progress. She's actually favorite character in this show. If some people started this show and it felt like it's obnoxious to watch, I recommend them to not drop it yet. There still hidden gems in here that I really did enjoy watching and I hope they will also see and enjoy.

Quick Thoughts:
Attempts to add drama and depth to basic harem fell flat.

Story:
This season covers some backstory between Eriri and Utaha, the completion of Blessing Software's game, and plans for the group going forward. Central to all of this is the group (Namely Eriri, Utaha, and Megumi) putting pressure on Tomoya to make his priorities clear, both business-wise and romantically. There's little to no subtlety put into how this is presented, and the end result is something frustrating to watch. Whether it's through direct communication or subliminally through the scripts they write for the game, the girls feelings and expectations are in plain sight for Tomoya, ...
