Muhyo to Rouji no Mahouritsu Soudan Jimusho 2nd Season

the show is really underrated. These season was more story focused and better than previous season. These show's setting and characters all give out spooky vibes. Even though the character designs appears comical, the show has a very serious tone.

Story
It story is not the best or ingenious or any thing like that. But still its good enough and has its own appeal. It is more or less a good spooky ghost story in a shounen style. Better plot progression compared to previous season. The tone is surprisingly very serious.

Art
It has characters design very similar to soul eater (spooky and comical). But unlike soul eater, ... it doesn't have slapstick comedy tone.

Sound
OP is fast and feels like it is played at 1.75x. But I love that kind of rhythm. ED is also good.

Character -
I love the two protagonists. one is the silent and deadly overpowered type. while other is a crybaby who doubt his own abilities. He got a proper character development this season. Supporting characters are also fun to watch. Antagonists are mysterious and spooky.

I enjoyed the series very much. Overall a good underrated series to watch if u have time

What a sharp decline of people watching this, and I don't blame you if this wasn't on your radar in the very first place.

To be honest, giving a preface to Season 2 here is a rather lofty goal for Studio Deen to continue where the very old manga left off its traces in Season 1, and it's a shame to let this series continue its production run where most people just shrugged this series away from the very beginning. But for context, the sequels are measured better than their starting point, and in the case of Muhyo and Roji, this proves to be true.

Continuing off ... the big battle from Season 1 with the "See you next time!" image of Muhyo vs. Enchu (essentially the Magic Law Association vs. the Forbidden Magic Law), the one addition of another rival bureau gives both of our main characters "a pain in the butt" moments. While Muhyo progresses on his magic law skills, Roji however regresses and becomes a total cowardice and a burden towards Muhyo, so much so that he doesn't see Roji from the assistant POV, and pushes him back to magic school to regain his confidence. If that is character development, I'd say it was decently done to showcase and solidify both boys' relationship as Master and Apprentice. And Enchu strikes again, only more fearful and set in stone.

I don't need a long phrasing to tell you of Studio Deen's lowly average production values, they've basically kept it the same from Season 1, and it shows. Even with the heavy Shonen-like action sequences, it's clear that it isn't the priority, and keeping it low budget has always been the icing to the batter. At least the OST got somewhat of a decent upgrade, and while the OP/ED set may not set the world on magical fire, they're better than Season 1's (at least it is for me).

I only have one thought to wrap up this series as a whole, and it has basically stayed the same from Season 1: go read the manga in its complete entirety instead. Season 1 was already not so kind enough to be passed up, so Season 2 here is kinda a redemption for the niche audience awaiting to see this series get any better. Here's hoping that Studio Deen does not make a Season 3 (because it kinda gets boring from time to time as well).

This anime is very mediocre on lot of fields. Most of the characters are very dull and lack development which was the same problem as the first season. This is the kind of anime you watch when the season is still going but won't active seek to watch it after it is over.

Story 5
The story didn't really progress that much since they tried to focus on the characters more than they did in the first season I would say that was a bad choice since that wasn't great either. This season was about Rouji mostly and him growing. Rouji has a lot of respect for ... our main protagonist Muhyo which make no sense since Rouji's backstory is that Muhyo gave him a job even though he was casual with him because of Muhyo's age and size. So Rouji is totally crushed when he is yelled at by Muhyo for accepting a challenge with some rando A-hole who is too cocky without achievements of any sort named Goryo. Rouji is forced to train and grow stronger so he does and when he as told to stake his life on the life for Muhyo. He does in complete trust. It make no sense since they never show how Muhyo earned Rouji's trust so much that he would die for him. Is it because Muhyo gave Rouji a job so that is why he trust him so much? I mean I have a job and I wouldn't give up my life for my boss. Muhyo doesn't really even show emotions to Rouji so when did intense bond happen? behind the scenes of each episode? Rouji's trust in Muhyo is unearned since they show didn't development for it at all in any season with a few like good job once in a blue moon but certainly not enough to be" Die For Me" Muhyo says.

Art 5
I don't really judge anime based on art much so I really can't say.

Character 5
The characters are dull since most of them are just cliche that you an find in any anime. Even that main villain's motivations are forgettable since that was last season but also that he wasn't really in the anime this season.
