Kyokou Suiri Season 2

During a blizzard, Masayuki Muroi's old high school friend pushes him off a mountain to certain death. However, Masayuki survives the fall and escapes to safety thanks to Yuki-Onna, the spirit of a beautiful young woman who is said to lead men to their demise—but all she asks in return is money.

Eleven years later, Masayuki has lived a successful life, having gotten married and amassing a great fortune. But when his company collapses and his wife cheats on him, Masayuki retreats to the city where Yuki-Onna once saved him, and he reconnects with her by offering her money and tasty meals. While Masayuki recovers from his misfortunes, another one knocks on his door: his ex-wife is found beaten to death, and now only Yuki-Onna—who cannot reveal herself—can corroborate his alibi.

With no one to turn to, Yuki-Onna enlists the help of the spirits' God of Wisdom, Kotoko Iwanaga. Revered by the various spirits that wander the earth, Kotoko uses her extraordinary wits and cunning to solve all quarrels they may have. In her duty to protect spirits and humans from colliding, Kotoko drags along her immortal boyfriend, Kurou Sakuragawa, and promises to prove Masayuki's innocence without exposing Yuki-Onna's existence.

I'm confused about what to type, I'm not good at commenting. if you are a fan of supernatural genre but want a light story, then I recommend this!! :D Actually I hope there will be more cases discussed in season 2, but this is already good, there is character development too, New cases, new characters too. In this season I like the story case with Yuki-Onna. the music is quite calming. for art style, it's quite good like season 1. Even though it's a supernatural anime, this anime also has a subtle romance which I think is quite cute! I like this

Mixed Feelings

(It's a step up at least)
Well... after a somewhat short wait for season 2, here I am once again watching a series that I will most likely completely forget everything about within 2 months of watching.

Is Kyokou Suiri bad? No, by no means is this a bad series. However, there isn't... anything special about it. The story had potential but is executed poorly, the voice acting is okay, and the characters are semi-decent. One of the few things I do like is the animation. Although considering I tend to only watch stuff from the early 2000s, I guess that's to be expected.

I will say however, ... S2 is definitely a step in the right direction and definitely held my attention for most of the episodes. S1 was a "too much speaking" type deal. It moved extremely slowly in my opinion and the last few episodes, with all the build-up they had, felt extremely boring, and the main fight(s) against the big-booba, no-face, lady felt somewhat "dry." Although there are still cases of this in S2, there is an increase in quality/attempt to move away from this. This shows concept is quite interesting, however, its execution could have been/could be a little better. It still feels like the show hasn't embraced a certain "genre" and is still teetering on the line between five. One minute they're talking about something really dark and the next they're cracking a joke. On top of that, the story feels a little confined still. There are few "stakes" and the number of characters is still too few to make the story feel like it has a "presence" in the world they live in at the moment. There isn't anything BIG... something that I'm gonna be like "ok...ok, I like that," there isn't anything Special, which causes the series as a whole to be very forgettable.

Now that it's leaning more/fully toward an investigator/detective type of anime, I guess a slower plot and lots of talking is to be expected, and maybe it's on me for expecting anything different.

Considering that the same man who made Blast of Tempest made this, I guess I might have had "high expectations" for this series as a whole, however, it still feels to me like another mediocre entry into this season's roster of shows. After coming back to watch S2 to see if it was more "my taste," it wasn't. Once again this series is by no means bad, it's just really slow for my taste.

Not Recommended

Preliminary (8/12 eps)

Way too much talking it pains me to watch this series. First season was ok because there was a bit of a story line but the second season has no real storyline or link between most episodes, it’s really just mini stories/mysteries which for this kind of series I don’t really like. This series really relies on the whole you didn’t know that I know that you know type of resolution and it gets really boring and repetitive.

Seriously, there was barely a breath between characters talking let alone the characters rambling on for a whole episode.

I would not recommend the second season of ... this series.
