Synopsis

In Hokkaido, it is rumored that there is a stash of hidden gold. This gold was supposedly stolen by a man who killed the original Ainu owners; and before being captured and imprisoned by the police, he hid it in a secret location. In order to relay the gold's location to his comrades on the outside, he tattooed the map on the bodies of his cellmates and promised them a share of the gold—provided they managed to escape and find it.

In Golden Kamuy 2nd Season, First Lieutenant Tokushirou Tsurumi plans to give the 7th Division an advantage in the war for the tattoos by getting a taxidermist to create skins that only he can distinguish as fake. Meanwhile, Saichi "The Immortal" Sugimoto, Asirpa, and their companions continue their hunt for the skins by following a strange rumor: a thief who broke into a home in Yubari found taxidermied human corpses, among which was a torso with strange tattoos.

Golden Kamuy 2nd Season

I can assure you that this anime is not for everyone. Either the person will like it or not. That being said, I'm relatively sure that it should actually please fans of the series Gintama and JoJo, due to the similar use of humor.

After a terrible start in the first season, the anime needed a longer period of time to become more convincing. Towards the end of the first season, it showed some strong points at last. The second season also starts with exactly these qualities, which makes it look much more attractive and can actually build up a certain kind ... of tension. Of course, this season still achieves just above-average results and continues to struggle with major weaknesses. One of them is very weak pacing, which only improves stumbling. Furthermore, we have many mundane moments in the series (like dinner) that are completely monotonous and lack any relevance. If I have to watch them cook something every time and talk about how they like it for 2 minutes, I might as well watch Gordon Ramsay videos. But this is one of the lesser problems. Furthermore, all the characters are "interesting" and "likable" but very superficial and one-dimensional. Except for their obvious traits, they have no depth of character. They are practically just walking strange personalities.

Of course, the series also has its strengths, especially from this season on, these come clearly into play. The style of the series is very individual, as well as the way of narration, gives the story a relaxing but also adventurous atmosphere. In addition, the interesting uncertainty about which character will play which role in the story. I have to credit this series very positively. Who the "enemies" and "allies" are changes really quickly here, as each character has their own priorities and goals. There is no good or evil here, only neutrality on both sides of the story.

Furthermore, this show has very well and quickly written battles that barely last longer than 2 minutes. This quick flow keeps the momentum going and the action doesn't suffer. Likewise, the fights have a more realistic tone, as the characters are not absolute monsters and can be injured in normal ways in combat.

In addition, I have been very impressed with the brain-dead and straight-up silly humor of the series. I just love it when characters are combined really well with their kind of humor. Which creates wonderfully bizarre scenes that are really not to be underestimated. I also love that despite all the chaos, the scenes remain mostly serious and the characters take it as normality.

[Conclusion 5]

The anime manages to maintain a fairly interesting plot and mix it with humor without sacrificing much. It doesn't offer the viewer much from the beginning but manages to get a lot out of the existing. Through a humorous narration of the story and some interesting twists, the anime develops over time into something really fun and unique.

In any case, the anime has entertained me a lot and has become more interesting in the third season.

If you enjoyed the first season you will enjoy this season. Go ahead and give it a watch!

While the season finale more than makes up for it the show this season I feel becomes far more focused on humor than it does seriousness. I feel that I am in the minority but I wish there was less comedy. There were some light-hearted humor and funny moments in season one. But the number of episodes seemingly dedicated to homoerotic jokes this season was more than I wanted and expected. It's almost uncomfortable at times.

In season one I loved the focus on survival with hunting ...

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (3/12 eps)

"I'm immortal!" he screams as he tries to hype himself up and hopes that the audience is a 12 year old boy that is also getting hyped.

I will keep it short, just like my patience. So I will adress only the points that annoyed me the most that made me stop watching.

1) The humor wears thin. Same jokes over and over again. The same ones like in season 1. I guess it works well with memeculture.

2) Also I never liked the huge food-fetish of animes which goes over the top here. hinna hinna and whatever eating the same thing they did 3 episodes ago. ...
