Osomatsu-san 2nd Season

After watching both seasons every week as they aired, I'm happy to say that I'm happily satisfied with this anime as a whole. The characters are all lovable in their own way and the comedy and culture references are on point. If you enjoy anime like Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt, Puni Puni Poemy, or any other crazy, random, or hilarious anime you can find.

Based off an original manga and anime by creator Fujio Akatsuka, you will find yourself laughing and squirming in your seat enjoying this show! There is a plot, and even as subtle as it is behind the hilarious and craziness ... that is this show. But the fun is enjoying each episode for what it is! (Each episode is usually radically different then the one before.)

Overall the experience was amazing from Season 1 to the end of Season 2 and hope to see some future episodes!

-9/10 Bloo

From all genres of anime, comedy is one of the hardest in quality terms. There are very few comedy anime out there that doesn't get old and always come with something new with very effective jokes, then there are those that gets old pretty fast. Osomatsu-San First season were crazy, stupid and very colorful. It had an unique essence on them while being a fun ride from start to finish. Unfortunately, I can't say the same for this second season.

Act 1: You tell a great joke, people laugh, profit
Act 2: You tell the same joke, some people laugh, some people don't, profit
Act 3: You tell ... the same joke again, very few laugh, the rest doesn't
Act 4: You still tell the same joke, No one laughs.

There are many comedy anime that destroys itself by overusing jokes, and this second season is no exception.

If you have watched the first season, then you might now what is this about, Sextuplets making comic gags while they suck at life (neets). While most of the comic gags on this second season are new, not all of them are funny, and those that are funny gets old pretty fast because it tends to be overused in the same episode. Story: 4/10

Art and Sound are probably the best things of this show,Their Openings and Endings are pretty colorful and well done. There are some episodes that completely change the setting which leads to the very best episode of this second season: Episode 18. This episode features Iyami as a good for nothing bum who is hated by almost everyone on town, but one day he meets a little blind girl who is selling flowers on the street. This episode is beautiful in many ways, it starts out with a smooth monochrome palette. This feature alone holds a lot of meanings for this story, the soundtrack is a really great addition to the story, as it holds what this episode wants to express. Later on, the color palette comes in with a colorful world with a very emotional soundtrack that might end with a smile on your face as tears starts falling down. This were the point where I thought that this second season wasn't a mistake at all. Art: 7/10 | Sound: 8/10

The cast is almost the same as the first season with the addition of odd fellows that are introduced later on, if the sketch demands it, the characters might not follow their usual behavior, but other than that, the characters end up being the same as how they were in season 1. Characters: 6/10

Enjoyment 6/10: Even if this anime suffers from overusing jokes and unfunny jokes, there are still moments on this season 2 that are memorable (Ep 18 is an example of that).

Overall: 6/10

This season of Osomatsu has been, to say the least, really disappointing.

As a fan of the first one, I was really excited to see what the sextuplets had in store for us, but it turns out that the spark of irreverent and acid humor that made the first season so good was completely gone.

Instead, this season relies more on self referential humor, skits that drag for too long and some really poorly executed emotional moments. It feels like, instead of trying to make a funny show like they did before, they already knew no matter what they did, it was going to be ... successful because of the die hard fujoshi fanbase, thus relaying to much on pandering to them giving us more of pointless skits to feed the shippers.

I know some people will definitely enjoy that, and that's fine, but it is obvious that the current season hasn't reached the same level of success or audience that its predecessor. It seems that the die hard fanbase was not that big, and that it was a mistake trying to make this for them exclusively.

So, in short. Osomatsu S2 is a unfunny, bland and boring version of the first season. Not really worth watching if you're trying to get more of what Osomasu San.
