Mairimashita! Iruma-kun 2nd Season

After many trials and tribulations, Iruma Suzuki is finally happily living among demons despite having to hide his true identity as a human. Even more so, he has now found his ambition in life: keep ranking up in this world!

However, that plan is halted when Iruma's club is temporarily dismissed, and he is forced to be part of the student council, known for its strictness toward rowdy students. Its cold-hearted president is Amelie Azazel, Iruma's friend. Although Iruma is not used to following their rigid schedule and many rules, he still wants to prove himself and help Amelie alongside all of the other members of the council.

But trouble arises when Amelie's personality completely changes due to strange circumstances, putting the student council's reputation in jeopardy. Will Iruma be able to save them and avoid having the whole school turn into pure chaos?

I enjoyed every single episode of this season. Humour is great, animation was TOP NOTCH when it needed to be, the story and art style feel really original and refreshing, characters are likeable, sometimes even more than the MC. OP and ED songs may not have been as catchy as the previous season, but they still fit the show pretty well.

With plenty of moments filled with laughs from funny absurdity, to serious atmosphere, to action scenes, to romantic moments with the potential of unleashing waifu wars in forums, both young and veteran viewers will surely find something to enjoy in this show.

You can almost feel ... the love people from the studio put into making this when you start noticing even little details like those changing 'easter eggs' in the op and ed songs throughout the anime.

For a shounen anime, this one gets a 10/10 from me.

I need not explain what makes Iruma-kun such a great show, that now with Season 2, it retains much of the femme fatale and action that is Season 1 and more with more enriching content from Osamu Nishi's manga. If you haven't had the time to go watch Season 1, please do not procrastinate and make yourself useful by binging that first before coming into this sequel.

With Season 2, albeit still capturing the same essence of its setting with Iruma's cohesiveness towards the Misfit Class, comes new characters, not to mention new challenges as well to ascend to the throne of becoming the Demon King ... of their generation. The main trio of Iruma, Asomodeus a.k.a Azz-Azz and Clara are still just as enjoyable, if not more so with the involvement of the Misfit Class classmates, the new teachers like Balam Shichirou, and new irritable-lovable ones like Ronove Lumiere. AHHHH Ronove is class...class...class...

Asthetically, Season 2's only upgrade is with its production values, that much akin to Season 1 giving most of its legs to the action department, uses its time to keep the same polish and deliver that polish to the small screen. Particularly with one of the big arcs of the manga, the Walter Park arc gives precedence to exact the same oomph as is Amy Kiriwo's school breakout in Season 1, so for those whom have watched Season 1, you know that the quality is there. Musically, the OST is just alright too. DA PUMP's sequel OP song, feels nothing of the iconic Season 1 OP "Magical Labyrinth" levels, but it's good enough. Same with the ED...it's just there.

Overall, a pretty good sequel to continue the trend for people who love both the manga and/or the anime. Not the most impressive as usual, but hey I'll take whatever it can muster. And now we get ready for Season 3.

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (19/21 eps)

Sorry, Mairimashita! Iruma-kun's second season just fails to build off the momentum of the first season.
I will say, though, the aesthetic is still great. I love the colorful demon school and the way the show pop outs while using a demon/underworld themed style as well. Other than that, though, the quality of the show dropped like crazy.
Mairimashita! Iruma-kun fails to choose an identity, and it feels like it's always clashing with it's desire to be a comedic show, only to be immediately followed up with an attempt to have a serious fight arc and characterization arcs. Rather than succeeding in either theme, it really ... just executes both very poorly. When I can draw parallels from Iruma-kun to Naruto, you really got a problem. When Iruma's "serious" arc is about him gathering his resolve to protect his friends, I can't take it too seriously. Mairimashita! Iruma-kun just executes the same shounen tropes done a million times to death. Iruma suddenly finds himself in a dangerous situation, and he saves the day "recklessly" fighting against a being that seemingly is of much higher level than he is but is able to defeat it anyway with a crazy powerup and through the power of friendship. Iruma has plot armor like no other.
There's no real buildup for the serious arcs, either. I'll use Walter Park as an example. It initially starts off as a fun, lighthearted slice of life sort of activity before immediately changing to a serious fight arc with monsters spawning an destroying the park. Even in a series like Gintama, where jokes are ubiquitous, there's still a lead up, exposition, and dialogue that culminates into an epic fight with all of the characters of interest coming into one place. Iruma-kun kind of just plops it in a middle of a lighthearted scene in order to get some epic fights going.
Look, I don't actually think the characters are bad. They're really fun, and they suit the comedic style that the author tries to go for half the time. Actually, they could have even fit a more serious shounen arc as well. There were glimmers of hope here and there amongst the dull fight scenes, like Jazz and his group fighting and actually fitting the role. It's just that the story sucks, and it does not try to build off the characters. Like, Walter Park is such a bad arc in the way it transitions from a comedic to serious story arc. It's lazy, too. Again, there's no buildup, there's not much of a reason for Iruma and his crew to be there other than pure coincidence. Iruma's just forcefully put in a stressful situation to make him do something serious. Something bad had to happen right in front of his eyes and he had to step in and solve it. Plus, the fighting animation is not great. It's more of a slideshow than anything, and there' no real good fight choreography, either. All this points to me wondering why the hell is there so much fighting and character development in a show mean to be comedic in nature.
Anyways, the comedy is a bit better than the story, but it's not that great. Since the story's focus is split into two, the comedic effect also drops by at least half. In fact, even in the lighthearted arcs, like with the Student council president, it wasn't that funny, and it was more slice of life and character development than anything else. I was kind of excited for the evil cycle Iruma-kun arc, but that ended up having a lame beginning and conclusion. There are a few one shot arcs that are only half and episode or a full episode that were genuinely funny, but in order for me to get to that point, I had to get through so much garbage.
It's just a shame that Mairimashita! Iruma-kun decided to go with a mediocre shounen plot with an lucky MC whose personality consists of wanting to protect his friends, and him magically getting past any situation due to his plot armor.
