100-man no Inochi no Ue ni Ore wa Tatteiru 2nd Season

The best way to describe this anime is "gold in turd-coating" , in the surface it looks just like your typical isekai anime,but if you dig deeper and actually watch it rather than dropping it in the first episode,you will actually find a good story.

The relationship between the "NPC" or the otherworld character is very well built,rather than just giving us a bland filler character they give us a good character with a backstory and actually have EMOTION that can give us sympathy to them.

Not only season 2 offer a lot more seriousness in the first 4 episodes then the previous season,it also deliver a ... lot more tense and conflict

The art is not the best animation and barely improved but it's still watchable (7)

The op and ed is just another generic isekai theme song but still quite a banger (8)

Overall i really enjoy this season and probably gonna be hooked til the last episode

*Minor Spoilers Ahead*

This season is pretty good to be fair.

( I’m Standing on a Million Lives = ISOAML)

ISOAML in the first glace looks like the most mediocre type of isekai anime, BUT it's not! Let me explain:
ISOAML's plot is pretty good they executed the story pretty well, that it became quite an entertaining show. It combines comedy, drama, and fantasy themes, which was a pretty generic idea, but ISOAML combined it in a unique way that presents it pretty well despite being underrated. This show's first impression was quite similar to Konosuba which was one of the main reasons that got me watching till this ... season, ISOAML has its beauty on its own that most people tend to seek out but never gave it a try. It truly pains me to see that this anime is underrated but oh well, everyone has their own opinion.


Story: 8/10, this season itself is indeed very good excluding all the flaws.

Animation: 5/10, it's not bad but not the best.

Sound: 5/10, pretty average, and nothing special.

Character: 8/10, the characters are fairly good though it wouldn't hurt to have more character developments. The main character's development is very well executed, the way he seeks amends is by not tainting other's hands, he would rather take up all the dirty work(killing someone) than let his fellow party members do it since he has already killed someone in the past, not knowing that the world they were in was an alternate universe. Yotsuya said it himself "I've already killed someone. All scum ought to die: In the end, even I'll likely. Until then. I'll kill those who ought to be killed."

Enjoyment: 8/10, I look forward every week to the newest episode and watch it as soon a possible, I was intrigued.

Overall: 8/10, I wished this anime would have 24 eps each season, but there's no use thinking about my ideals. To get things straight, I gave the anime an 8/10 due to the ISOAML's plot and enjoyment, though that's just my personal opinion but well who knows, maybe some of you might agree with me.

The second season of 100-man was... weird. Remember what the first season of the anime was all about? The interesting proposition, where the RPG dynamic was applied in a convenient and often stupid way. Now, the show has changed that a bit, bringing a more arc-oriented perspective instead of this boring focus. But as much as a show like 100-man has improved, it's still a complicated experience to say the least, and that's for two reasons: ambitious story and split cour.

"Split cour" is a term used for shows that take a break between one cour and another. In the beginning, the goal was to maintain ... the relevance of the anime brand and the project, to complete the work, ensuring a good return for the studio and creators of the original material. Now, the purpose of the split cour is usually sustained to give the studios more time to make the continuation of the project as good as possible. It's normal for this to happen in the industry, and many shows manage to make up for problems and even improve their own story, which as the chapters go on present a higher quality and sense to make the show interesting. 100-man did this. The gap between one season and the next was even longer than usual (6 months), but honestly it wasn't that enjoyable an improvement.

This second season is divided into two arcs, where the first is the climax of the whole show so far. On a Volcanic Island there is a conflict between Orcs and Humans, where Yotsuya and his group face, together with a group of mercenaries, this mission. Torii Keita, the new member, entered the team of heroes as someone nice and more charming than the rest of the characters. Well, this is no merit, if you think that anyone could be more eye-catching than all the girls in the group. By the way, Keita was a boy who had a fight with Yotsuya in real life, before the first season ended. This insertion of the character for the involvement of the two was a good attempt to relate the characters and also to recover what had happened in the past. Speaking of the past, Kahabell was a character reused in the show to enhance the love she had with the protagonist, even though she had spent more than ten years in the fantasy universe.

The arc, even though it wasn't that interesting, was nice to follow. It really had captivating episodes in the middle of a normal RPG story. It was a credit to the effort given by the Maho Film studio for the show. Yotsuya had another internal evolution phase, characters like Kusue and Tokitake improved in performance and the mission was completed. It also had Yotsuya bearing a burden: the weight of having to do cruelty to complete her goals. It's a brave determination and one that deserves attention, as it's a factor that will surely make the show have a conclusion focused on this. It's nothing like "power of friendship." It's more like "if being a monster in this world will make my friends okay, I'll do it without hesitation". On top of all that, the existence of a man controlling a dragon was

The second Arc is more debatable and, for me, has some inconsistencies that hurt the overall story. This time, a Village living has a legend where a land exists that is able to bring eternal peace to its inhabitants, the "New Eden". Meanwhile, the leader of the region uses the very people who live in this village for exploration missions, where instead of really being an attempt to find this sacred land, it is actually a goal to disseminate and even eliminate the population of the village, which is experiencing problems and lack of food and other resources.
Yotsuya then, along with his group and a girl named Jezby (who by the way becomes the antagonist of this mission) and Glenda (the new member, who is a foreigner), leave for this mission destined by the Game Master. Actually, this story is not really incoherent, however the way the objectives were set was not pleasant.

Even though the show tries to leave the Village leader in the position of being guilty for killing many people, he ends the show as a "good man", or at least as being a better person than his attitudes are. Jezby the entire anime gave no signs that he was someone bad, but in the plot twist a revelation happens that even though it is shocking, it doesn't cause the necessary effect to be something important. Glenda (or "Glen" as people usually talk) finding out the truth of this Arc failed to bring a good convenience to the show. And even if it makes logic that the granddaughter of the Village leader and her adoptive father have been infected, this narrative turn was rather anticlimactic and mechanical. It didn't give a favorable and interesting setting, much less manage to encompass and conclude the situation in a beneficial way.

Another thing that didn't please so much either was Fatina. She is still a mysterious character and seems to have ties to the future of the show, about the dragon apparently being the last mission of the story. These were parts that put together another compilation of unnecessary and boring episodes and really didn't hold any interest with me, even if the conclusion of the show was satisfying.

Ultimately 100-man ends this 24-episode set below RPG animes in general, but it did get a small improvement compared to the first season. There were some shameful parts (like the girls doing an "idol" moment early in the anime), but they also had some enjoyable scenes, especially when it came to Yotsuya. Who knew that at some point he could be a cool character to follow. It was an okay season, after all.

After last season, which was not a lot more than a generic isekai, my expectations were not extremely high for this season either. However, this season was way better, it conveyed emotions better and the new characters made it a lot more fun. I actually thought this season was pretty good. The OP slaps as well.
The story continues after last season, where Yusuke has learned that he is actually killing real people and he has changed a bit after completing the challenges. The main point I was looking forward to however, was the reunion with Kahavell, and that crushed me to a point I didnt ... know possible. There are anime that made me cry, this one didn't but this just crushed me on a fully different level. What we learn is that the time goes faster in the isekai world and Kahavell is widowed with 2 kids. Nice one. The challenges are still as vague and bizarre as ever but I enjoyed the Island arc, the village arc was a bit less but nonetheless decent. The story is not bad but not amazing either.
The art was not bad, especially the scene that was teased in the trailer with Kahavell was so damn beautiful, just watch it ffs. Don't have much more to comment on art.
The new characters are a fresh breathe of air, we get a blonde ganster boy who turns out to be your comedic idiot and is constantly trying to hook up with Shindou. The other character is a lesbian filmmaker, who also provides comedy but also is pretty good at teaching life lessons in the village arc. Yusuke is changing into a psychopathic mastermind, he seems to have learned from last season, but what he learned was not positive. He is now way more ruthless, since he is already guilty. Otaku girl is still annoying, the shy girl has had almost no screen time and Shindou is still manipulative.
The aspect of NPC (inhabitants of isekai) versus the players has become way better this season and the emotions with this are portrayed way better. If you tend to look a bit deeper in this anime than just watching it, it becomes so much better. Some scenes would be iconic if they would have came from a bigger anime, so it definitely improved. The character cast has become bigger and better and the contrast of emotions has become more realistic than last season. If you survive season 1, then this season will be your reward.
ALSO, I MISS KAHAVELL

Look, I'll be completely honest here. The production quality of this anime isn't the best. In fact, at times it feels like I'm watching a rough draft of what *could* be one of the greatest anime I ever watch.

The premise is compelling, the characters (including the villains) are given strong background stories, and there are moments in the series where I genuinely almost shed a tear over a touching scene centered on a random side character I never expected to emotionally resonate with.

This has all the makings of a potentially fantastic series, but *damn*, the art and execution consistently ruin the experience.

The characters ... have ... stiff expressions during certain moving / dynamic scenes. The vignettes that show important character interactions and backstories ... have almost no flow at all, have poor scene transitions, and end just as abruptly as they begin -- without any opportunity for the audience to really let the emotions sink in.

Whoever's the director of this series is not doing their job. And it's a shame, because I see all the elements that make for the greatest of stories: dramatic irony; betrayal; noble hearts forced to commit evil deeds; villains acting upon pure intentions; a cast of varied personalities whose interactions are sometimes hilarious and sometimes touching; a pattering of romance; philosophical meditations on human nature, the list goes on....

It hurts me, because watching this series feels exactly like eating a delicious birthday cake out of a garbage can...

After finishing the first season, I expected the second to see a tougher protagonist, more leader, but as characters were added, the protagonist lost value, what attracted me to his personality was lost. Being that they are not going anywhere. When you say that you can finally move forward as a group, a new annoying member appears. All of this makes it quite a slow and repetitive series. The animation is regular but the soundtrack passes, the plot is interesting but I don't care about the characters so I hope there won't be another season. If you think about seeing it, don't see it, it's ... a waste of time.

En español:
Después de terminar la primera temporada, esperaba que la segunda viéramos a un protagonista mas rudo, mas líder pero a medida que metían personajes el protagonista perdía valor, se perdía lo que me atraída de su personalidad. Siendo que no van a ningún lado. Cuando decís que por fin puede avanzar como grupo aparece un nuevo integrante molesto. Todo esto la vuelve una serie bastante lenta y repetitiva. La animación es regular pero pasa la banda sonora cumple, el argumento que tiene es interesante pero no me importan los personajes así que espero que no haya otra temporada. Si piensas en verla no la veas es una perdida de tiempo.

This gold in turd-coating goes truly deep in the rabbit hole this time.

The last time that we took a look at 100-man the previous Fall, I'd mention that Season 1 was basically a prologue story to the overall compelling story and plot that mangaka Naoki Yamakawa was trying to explain in the vast world-building of the series. Now that we're here in the true story fashion that is Season 2, how does it fare when compared to the prequel? As some would say: "It gets darker over a period of time."

Yotsuya and the other Heroes are back in the fantasy world again, only with some ... new faces (like the gangster turned Hero Keita Torii) and even more tougher quests that involve the same gut-wrenching humanitarian efforts to save NPCs and wade off evildoers. Only except that now, our main lead Yotsuya experiences emotions like never before: the desire for survival by exercising his actions that seem pragmatic and contrary to human societal values. Remember, Yotsuya's unknown background of being anti-social and selfish contributes to his way of thnking that humans all should be subjected to death, and that only those that are allowed to live are those who can increase his chances of survivial. Whether good or bad, he sees that as much as he wants to have sympathy and compassion on all people, friend or foe, he defaults to his way of thinking, and comparing to Season 1, that provides a stark contrast to the story tones with tension and rising conflict. It's only through Yotsuya we see the most that creates this "I'm standing on 1 mil lives" characterization between the heroes and the NPCs relationship that changes along with their presented scenario that sadly, series like this needs a lot of seasons to tell of its complete story that's bogged down by slow progression.

As painful as I'd like to be excited for Season 2, because that is where the main story gets to spread its reach to those who've stuck around since the prequel, I'm sorry to say that I felt more emotions in Season 1 more than this. Not to say that this sequel season is bad, but more than Yotsuya's characterization being the main attraction of the series, the other Heroes (Shindou and the rest) are placed with less emphasis and relegated to the same old monster hunting-cum-clearing work as before. They can be the same goofballs, but since the story places a lot of storytelling through the eyes of Yotsuya, the Heroes alongside him are just side cheddar. It's seriousness on a whole other level, but also can be sacrificial if not handled and executed in a correct way. I can feel a lot of humanity for Yotsuya within his means to achieve what he wants, but for the others, they're plot devices to aim at his way.

Maho Film returns with the same production staff team from the prequel, and it's just the same as before with low budget animation. Heck, I can argue that the sequel did a tad worse than Season 1 by how much muter it is in comparison. Even the OST I feel is a step down, and when you add it all up, this sequel has the story and characters going up, but everything else goes headfirst down into the trench.

It's a big fat shame because 100-man's story is a lot deeper than most would've imagined, and taking time off to read Naoki Yamakawa's manga while waiting for Season 2, I feel that the manga is a lot more cohesive, and doesn't drown the reader with unncecessary filler, that gets right to the story with no time to spare. Just the facts. Maybe if the newbie debut director Kumiko Habara had more time to understand the source material, then 100-man as a series would've turned out to be something even more profound. To that I say: "Dear Habara-san, you still have a long way to go if you're gonna direct a show next time."

If you feel the need to consume a material like this, I highly recommend that you go read the manga because it will suck you in completely with its plot twists and narratives that are a better execution than the anime adaptation made it out to be for both seasons now.

I love this anime.

It is an isekai but well done, well executed, with a good plot, and not everything runs in just a protagonist broken by laughter or a disgusting harem.

This second season is being more "raw" than the previous one.

A new character implementing, and like the rest of the characters with his own personality.

The story is simple but the execution and the complications of it, is what gives the interest to see it.

... The non-use of exaggerated powers and only the ability of the characters and especially how the protagonist solves how to use his classes.

The drawing remains, like the previous one it is not outstanding but it is nice to see.






Amo este anime.

Es un isekai pero bien hecho, bien ejecutado, con una buena trama, y ​​no todo corre en solo un protagonista roto por la risa o un harén repugnante.

Esta segunda temporada está siendo más "cruda" que la anterior.

Un nuevo personaje implementado, y como el resto de personajes con personalidad propia.

La historia es sencilla pero la ejecución y las complicaciones de la misma, es lo que da el interés de verla.

El no uso de poderes exagerados y solo la habilidad de los personajes y sobre todo cómo el protagonista resuelve cómo usar sus clases.

El dibujo permanece, como el anterior no es sobresaliente pero es lindo de ver.

Don’t watch if watching your protagonist do dumb things triggers you. The main characters are stupid at best and fall for obvious traps all the time. There is nothing innovative or interesting about this anime. Pretty trash story and even worse action. Every second watching this makes me wish all of the characters would die to make the main character actually develop some.

Take any situation and you’ll see the characters react the worse way possible. It’s almost like the author is trying to convince you that there is a story by making the characters purposely fail to generate more plot instead of using their ... abilities.

*a really really really minor spoiler*
overall: -solid seven- (7.0) or -high six- (6.7)

i was not expecting this show to improve this much. The first season was dog shit as we all know but second season for some reason just way better.

Let's start with the first EP. The first ep continue from where we left off but what makes it different is that the directing, the way they introduce old character back and telling what have been going on is just.....better. starting from THAT scene on top of the castle wall, THAT scene had me shock From the angle and visual they choose to show is ... really well done, the conversation isn't too long but condense and to the point AND ESPEACIALLY the music was FANTASTIC. Who ever made that ost deserve a gold medal.
The music really brings out the true feeling of the scene, you can just feel the moment through the combination of the visual and the music playing and at the end you can just feel that sad happy feeling, happy that they were reunited but sad because it's too late and nothing last.

Now for as for the animation...well the animation is still pretty bad or arguably standard. the story is quite different and way more intriguing since for this story arc you can somewhat sympathize with the orc. you are given this somewhat clear point of view of both party to the point where it's somewhat sad but you know it gotta happen but the way the anime portrays them is that they are portraying them like another human being not your typical monster and that's the catch of how the anime is going to play with your feeling.

Now for character this show is basically revolving around the main male MC and the one male MC only. The other character so far doesn't have that "drastic" character development and the other character is just rather bland and just the same and if they were to grow it would be as much growth as the male MC is getting especially the glasses female mage she is still as bland as always with nothing to show.

welp that concludes it have a great day :)
i'll submit another review if i change my mind

For me, it wasnt as enjoyable as the first season. At this point, the main character is irrelevant because of all these new people joining. Animation is watchable but not that good. I don't think adding Glen was necessary, as how she joined the team was pretty ridiculous.

I wouldn't recommend but you can watch it if you want. People who are rating this a 10 masterpiece are sick, cause you can't see the obvious faults of this anime. I'm dropping it on the 2nd season, episode 10 because it's becoming repetitive. Hope they stop animating this, because it will really backfire if they do.

Well then I got to hand it to studio "Maho Films" for making a better 2nd season of this anime, too bad same cannot be said on it's prequel, that was merely a generic isekai........

So:

Story:

Pros: It has a story plot with substance when 2 new characters were added, at first I thought adding a new character won't matter given that it's a generic isekai anaywayz. But, as I've watched it studio "Maho Films" redeem this series' story plot from an generic isekai to an action isekai, where the characters themselves now plays as "Heroes" not as a bunch adventurers who needs to figure things out. ... Also by adding a mysterious antagonist as the "Dragon Bishop" adds to the mystery of this anime as well, given that one would be curious enough to follow through this anime from start to finish.

Cons: This sequel may have been an improvement of the 1st sequel, they still didn't make any improvements with the character's standing and I'm talking about Hakuzaki Kusue who was still this timid and weak minded swordsman and Tokitate Yuka where only her statue was change but not her performance where she was this half ass of a protagonist. So.....

Verdict: 7 over 10.


Art:

Pros: Iu's moderate fanservice and her new attire and Yuka's new look.

Cons: Everything were still the usual, even Torii, Keita and Carter, Glenda were pretty much plagiarize from the Fate/Stay franchise.

Verdict: 5 Over 10.

Sound:

Pros: Nothing much to say since it was the usual.

Cons: Yuka's voice was jsut so sooo mature to even be a Joshikausei.

Verdict: 5 Over 10.

Character:

Pros: As I've said there were significant changes when it comes to the character's standing, we see Yotsuya, Yuusuke being a bad ass, but not in a generic way since we still get to see him fail in a way that it still allows him to get back same with Shindou Lu, from a very useless eye candy from the 1st season to a girl that can kick ass, the addition of 2 new characters like Torii, Keita and Carter, Glenda who replaces Kahabell from the 1st season adds in a way that enhances this anime's action genre and mystery genre....

Cons: The problem was that nothing much has change with Hakozaki, Kusue to which she still plays this weak link and Tokitate, Yuka, that despite of her new look , she still the same pathetic character around.

Verdict: 7 over 10.


Enjoyment:

Pros: Unlike the 1st season, it was pretty much something that I can afford to skim some episode, this sequel was different since it was something you can look forward to.

Cons: It was rather annoying when we the audience have to guess who the Dragon Bishop is, unless one wants to look at it in either the manga or the LN.

Verdict: 7 over 10.

Overall:

Verdict: 7 Over 10.

It was worth it...to a certain point, so watch it and judge it for yourself.
Does this deserve a season 3????? Maybe.

If I can, I will give this how a 0. I only give this anime a 1 because 1 for Kahabell.

You can see that the budget is pretty low by how shitty the music and art are.

Sounds wise, normally, I don't blame the voice actors, but some characters' voice acting is so bad that I just look at the subtitles for what they're saying and skip immediately afterwards. The music is also trash, for most fight scenes, you have no music. In the case where there is music, you have a relaxing music.

The art is even worse.
For most battle scenes, this is what happens:
1. A ... shot of the MC, a shot of the enemy, both standing still, no animation
2. They run (more like they slide into each other since there is no animation whatsoever) towards each other, the screen blacks for a second
3. Then you have an image of these two standing in the opposite sides for a second
4. The enemy's head is gone, and there is some yellow liquid splashing out from the neck.
5. That's it

This is true even for normal scene, they are all just power point animation.

Everything about this show is awful. Except for Kahabell, she is a great character.

The only real reason I keep watching this show is beacuse of the openings and the main character. Yotsuba is the most unique character I've ever seen and he just keeps getting better.
The first season established mostly what his character was and not much character development, but in season 2, you see him getting character development almost every other episode. If SOML had a better studio, this anime could possibly make me bump up my rating for the show.
The manga is better than the anime adaptation, mostly because everything is made averagely, ... like the art, sound, and overall time spent in making the show. It's a very surprising show and it's a show I recommend.

After watching the first season of the anime I immediately read the manga since I loved the twist the author did with the isekai genre. It was a fresh take on the RPG game mechanics in an isekai genre where it functions similarly to Log Horizon but without the politics between players (since there are only a few players to start with).

This anime does adapt the manga faithfully with some details being omitted where I assume is to save time to progress the story. It does sacrifice some character development and some world-building but it has little effect on the overall story. However, halfway through ... the 2nd season of the anime, it adapted a story from the novel adaptation of this series. This was not a bad thing since I did enjoy watching it but there were some minor inconsistencies here and there on character development and world-building. Although, these minor inconsistencies and adapting a story from another source does not obstruct the continuity of this series at all (as you will see in the last episode).

Overall, this is a good series to watch especially on the different style of the isekai genre where it is more of an uphill battle and there are actual stakes on the line if they fail to clear the quest (both short and long term). I also recommend to read the manga as well.

I think this season was definitely less exciting than the first season. The characters all seem fairly shallow. There are moments where the characters do show some depth, but these moments are few and far between. The only character that we as the audience can truly understand is the protagonist, and the rest of the characters are simply plot material it felt like.

I really enjoyed the action scenes, as well as the mystery added to the plot this season. Although I feel that this anime is trying to do too many things at once, and not doing anything exceptionally.

The result is a good ... season, but there is still far left to improve.

Hyaku man no inochi is a mix between isekai and dark fantasy anime.
Don't have a hope in a show where the hero become a great badass winer loved by everybody, that would not happen here!

This anime is a reflexion about life, not the bright and enjoying life shown in classical animes but the real one with all the cracks that a soul can get in a lifetime. Unlike other isekai the heroes here brings their cracks in the other world and have to find a way to fix them by other way cause chalenges are differents there.

The second season brings 2 new ... heroes and give an adventure to put them in light (with their good and bad sides). the evolution of the other characters is not very important but we learn some little thinks about the links between the two worlds.

Yusuke is more than never the center of the expectations for the next season cause i'm sure that the game master is waiting something special for him.

Finaly, this anime is more and more interesting for hikikomori and other society haters who can find in Yusuke a vector of reflexion about the way to confront the world and the humanity

I would say I didn't even expect that there would be a 2nd season aired! The whole story of season1 was well progressed but sometimes the audience is totally lost in the middle of the whole series. But the 2nd season really surprised me that they have gotten a hold of their storyline.

Its plot is quite dark and reflects many aspects and plants food of thoughts for us. Have you ever thought of every lives has its meaning even it's monsters'? Yes, this anime just gives you more than just a typical isekai yuusha that slays every monsters they see. This anime really impress ... me that the plot is much easier to follow than season1.

The characters are interesting, introducing new arc with new characters are always hard, but they have done it quite well.

The let down is this anime is the art and sounds. The fighting scenes are very lacking and drags down the whole anime. In some fighting scenes, the audiences are left hanging and don't know how to feel about what just happened. But in the drama scenes, the sounds are well done. So, I'm quite confused with how inconsistent the production team is.

I'd recommend for those who likes a darkish fantasy drama, with some philosophy and food of thoughts. This anime is for you. But you shouldn't expect much from the fighting scenes.

Well for the start I would like to say that this season 2 is a lot better than the previous one though I'm not saying the first one is bad it's just probably the way the story flesh out and how they cramp everything in the 1st season having said that I both enjoyed them in fact it is one of my favorite isekai anime I know not many will agree with me but something about the characters of this anime especially yutsuya yuusuke I can relate by some of his way of thinking and his perspective in life and season 2 made this clear ... he did mature a bit as the story goes on. now about the animation it is pretty much the same as the 1st and I can understand that due to budget issue or something but still the seiyuus did a good job and the 2nd season story improved a bit for me that made it much more enjoyable. I hope there will be another sequel to this isekai anime

There might be some spoilers in this review (so go watch the anime ^^)


Overall :7
7 is a good score and I think it deserves a better score than the last season (which I gave a 6), It was much more entertaining and I still don't know why.


Story : 7
The story is like I said in my previous review pretty simple for the Isekai genre and doesn't innove that much but in this second season there are some things that start to appear. There is that psychological side with the fact that they have to complete quests in order to save their lives but also ... the people of this other world are getting attached to the heros and we can see it very well and very emotionnaly with Kahabell and Yuusuke's romance. Also the fact there is a timeskip between the quests makes the anime better, because they go to the same world each time but it is different because some of the characters that they met before aren't part of this world anymore and it creates a feeling of not being part of this world. This feeling contrasts well with the attachment that the inhabitants of this world have to the heros and vice versa. All of that to say that it has become better with this season and I hope a season 3 coming soon to end this show which was surprisingly better than I imagined.

Art : 7
The art is still the same as the previous season and it isn't good nor a bad thing because it does its job pretty well. The thing that can be reproached to this animation is that fight scenes could have been better animated or just a bit longer. The character designs are pretty simple but very good. One other thing that I found disturbing was the fact that Torii and Gwen looked alike too much and sometimes I just confound them.

Sound : 8
One of the major source of improvement between the first and the second season is obviously the music part. The opening is absolutely great and as it comes from an unpopular show, it remained pretty unpopular. The ending is also great to finish an episode, it brings something else from other ending that are very plain if you listen too much to them. To finish, the best part of all that is the OSTs that are very good. Just the Ost of Kahabell's kiss with Yuusuke was very good. Also, the insert song of the island arc was well inserted in the moment and well used and it made me feel very emotional.

Characters : 6
As the first season, I found the three first girls uninteresting and they feel very annoying. The new additions which are Torii and Gwen are somehow good. Torii is a boy that lived his life with his younger brother and wants to do everything to protect him, so he worked with persons of bad intentions in order to protect his brother and to survive. This character is very good and add an other male character to the roster. Gwen is lacking of personality for now but I know and I HOPE that they will do something with her backstory, because for what we saw briefly, it was kind of good.
Overall the characters are lacking of personalities and involvment.
But there is like the season 1, for me, the one that compensate the lack of personalities of the other characters. This person is obviously the MC. I might be a little biased on that one but I really like this character because he feels real to me, and very natural. I still can remember the end quote that gave me chills at the end of the season. Very good character.

Enjoyment : 7
At the end, I found it very entertaining to watch. The first arc of the Island was for me better. But the second arc was good too. In the end, I hope they will do a season 3 whereas the popularity of this anime isn't that high. Also I recommend to anyone to watch it.
