Uzaki-chan wa Asobitai! Double

Let's start with the animation aspect. For a romance anime, it is quite satisfactory. The animation is fluid when necessary, well-executed, and cohesive with the anime's overall proposal.

Characters: This is the best part of the anime. Every character is charming and entertaining in their own way, not just our protagonists but also everyone around them. Each character plays their role in a fun and captivating manner.

Story: Here lies the problem preventing the anime from being an 8 or 9. I felt stuck in a loop multiple times, as if trapped in a time paradox for several episodes without any notable conclusion or evolution. Even when ... it seemed like the moment of progression was approaching, when a glimmer of light finally lifted me from this vicious cycle of stagnation, the writers and director would completely crush my hopes.

I finished the second season with a sense of beginning, as if I was just starting the anime rather than finishing it. I don't understand the Japanese obsession with never progressing their couples, probably due to fear of having nothing left to do or losing fan interest. However, it would be quite the opposite. It would be far more interesting to see their life as a couple, the dynamics and problems that would arise, and the entire evolution of their relationship, just like what was done in Horimiya, which was exceptionally satisfying.

In conclusion, like any generic romance anime, the word that best defines Uzaki-chan would be "procrastination." And when I mention procrastination, it is not just any kind; it is the pinnacle of what the word represents. The second part of the anime also ends without a conclusive finale—not entirely, but without being clear and explicit. However, it is filled with charismatic characters, beautiful design, an interesting plot, and a lot of stories to tell. That said, I hope the upcoming third season does justice to its qualities.

Yeah i give this like a 6.5, i think the first season was a little better as this kinda drags a little but it stays funny enough to be worth watching. The extra characters introduced are good this season but still think it loses a little charm vs the first season.

It does end fairly predictably, so people who are very into this kind of romantic comedy might enjoy it more than me though the story is by no means unique. If you don't like a Will They / Won't They story i don't think there's anything particularly special about this to really drag you ... in though.

Part 2 continues the story of Sakurai as he's tormented by Uzaki.

Uzaki doesnt get scolded for her terrible behavior. But for some reason Sakurai is being presented as the jerk by his friends because he refuses to make a move on the girl who berates him every chance she gets.

Again there are no redeeming qualities to Uzaki. She's just an obsessive jerk.
And Sakurai's friends are actually making matters worse.
Seriously i feel like Sakurai and Uzaki would be better off if these people just left them alone and let their relationship evolve naturally. The anime is trying to present it as them being encouraging but ... in reality its pretty cruel what they are doing.

And for some reason even more nosy characters are added to the mix.
There are only 3 likeable characters in the entire show: Sakurai, Sakurai's baby sister, and Uzaki's mom.

It gets so obnoxious to watch because it feels like everyone is ganging up on Sakurai like he's done something wrong when he really hasnt. He's essentially being bullied by his friends, family and Uzaki.

The first season was fine despite its flaws. In the first season i actually laughed at all the sexual misunderstandings and innuendos. But the second season is just a mean spirited waste of time.
