Synopsis

As peace returns to the demon realm, Anos Voldigoad wishes nothing more than to put his reputation as the Demon King of Tyranny to rest and go back to being a misfit at the prestigious Demon King Academy. Unfortunately, any tranquility is fleeting: sinister demons, kings, and deities plot Anos's demise from the shadows.

Rumors spread about the "Child of God," a being whose power may rival that of Anos. To uncover the truth and eliminate the potential threat, Anos must journey deep into the land of spirits. However, the spirit world is shrouded in mystery, and it may only be entered after undergoing a series of difficult trials.

With unrivaled power and confidence, Anos braces himself to defeat various formidable enemies with grandiose titles. But he—with the assistance of his trusted allies—will barely have to break a sweat as the true Demon King of Tyranny.

I might be in the minority in that I thought the first season was 'fine' it was enjoyable, but it used too many familiar tropes and wasn't special enough and didn't do enough to set itself apart from many fantasy/isekai/reincarnation OP MC plot anime.

So for me I enjoyed Season 2 more than I did Season 1 because it stepped away from much of that, the characters are still the same, except we don't have to go through their backstories and faux betrayals, instead we can just enjoy them for who they are.

One issue with season 1, was the bloated character roster, but for season ... 2 you can't just Thanos Snap away most of the bloated cast, so it has to find ways around this. The 'cheerleading squad' is left behind so we get a tighter focus on the characters, and many of the still expansive cast of characters that do still follow along for the ride don't get much screen time anyway so that it focuses on the main story, the new characters, and still having the small core group members to tie it all together.

As for the series itself, it started strong, you normally expect events to build up, but this just threw out that convention and announced its arrival. after that, it did start to go off the rails when they went to the land of the spirits, for me this felt like the weakest part of the series.
After that we got to the time travel part, and I seem to be in the minority in that I liked this part of the series, in fact I would go as far as saying that for me, this was the strongest part of the series.
This is where it actually focused on the story, on unravelling it's 'mystery' which some of it you could see through anyway, but... The focus here was tighter as it got away from a lot of the background noise and the excessive cast roster, instead for a good portion of it we focused just on the two main characters.
It's easy to see why a lot of people don't like this part however as Anos tends to take a backseat and isn't the main focus, and also as a result of that, we don't see him be OP and Deus Ex his way out of every situation with a condescending wisecrack.
But for me, this section was worth it because it allows you to have that 'pay off' at the end.

And then we get to the end, and I won't spoil it, but I can understand why some people got confused with some of the things that happened, the different terms and concepts that this series brought in or expanded on, but it probably helped that I binge watched this series across two days, otherwise I might have forgotten a lot of the jargon and otherwise seemingly meaningless details if I had watched it over a period of weeks.

In short, this in my opinion is better than season 1 as it was able to stand out more from the crowd, but it still has its flaws, and I don't think anyone would consider it a masterpiece.
If you liked Season 1, you should like this, although judging by some of the reviews, I wouldn't take that for granted. If you didn't like Season 1, or don't like this genre, then this won't change your mind on things.

Mixed Feelings

I liked the first season, but the second season took a nosedive. It went from pretty good Overpowered MC anime to just nonsensical in season two. The whole rumors and traditions thing seems confusing and arbitrary, and in the end really seems like it was more created to drive the plot than to plausibly explain how an entire race works. It's possible that this is the reason that the spirit race appears to only actually be a handful of entities, though there is no explanation for why only those rumors and traditions were personified.

They spend a TON of time in the time travel ... arc, most of which feels wasted. It's a significant number of the total episodes, just to start one rumor so that they can lean even further into this implausible idea that spirits can just be erased from existence if you tweak their rumor, or if they deviate from it at all. Similarly, they can pop right back if you tweak it the other way, apparently. Again, zero explanation for how this works on a societal level for an entire race of people, who should essentially be popping in and out of existence non-stop in a chaotic and utterly unsustainable maelstrom of endless creation and destruction, except...there are only 5 of them? (mother, tree, misa, 3 little flying spirits, that's it)

The Gods make no sense. Either there is no reasoning behind the Father God's desire to destroy the world, or it's incredibly poorly explained. Also, where are the other gods? The only other one is the God of Destruction, which is apparently a sword...except it's also a castle? And it doesn't switch, it's apparently both at the same time? And it can destroy anything even reality...except when it can't, with no explanation? Also, Anos could have claimed it at almost any time he just...lets Avos have it anyway? I guess it's fine, because despite being all powerful, it's actually meaningless? Also, can the Father god please make up his mind? He's trying to destroy the world, while complaining that Anos is going to destroy the world because he stopped the father god from destroying the world?

When Anos' minions turn against him it was because...why? I guess it was just time for it to happen? A few people resisted, because of their belief/faith in Anos, except...his most powerful and closest lieutenants didn't? It's either not explained, or poorly explained.

Also, don't they have an army of killer clone girls? Why didn't they use them? Whatever.

No explanation also seems to accurately describe all the various powers and power levels in the show. There was some mention of the fake demon king having some kind of innate power, but it was immediately forgotten. Other than that, powers appear to just be floating circles that either work or don't based on...something. I mean, yeah, we know Anos is going to win, but the battles meant absolutely nothing, because none of the attacks meant anything. It was just random color that accompanied the small amount of conversation. Shin has a bunch of swords, but I defy you to tell me what their significance is, since they all seem to do/not do the same thing, which is nothing, most of the time. There's a whole lot of mind control, with little explanation for how it works or why it stops or why a few people are immune to it despite not being near Anos, or why he can't break it, until he can, etc.

Season two pretty much turned into 12 episodes of "this happens because it's time for it to happen and none of it needs to make any sense or be explained." I can't really explain it properly, but Anos went from "not worried about what other people did/thought because he was so incredibly powerful that nothing mattered" in Season 1 to "wandering aimlessly and not really doing anything, or doing random things for no real reason" in Season 2. Obviously he's never in any danger, and he can win at pretty much any time, but there is very little explanation for why he wanders around doing various things this season instead of just fixing the problems, which he obviously can do (and DOES, at the last minute). While it is hard to really explain the difference, it FEELS different. Season two just didn't have whatever season one had.

Disappointing. Though it's kind of appropriate that they spend the last few minutes of the season with the characters literally telling each other that they don't understand what happened and can't remember how they got there. Yeah...me neither.

The first season was quite a unique story, and I came to love it.
But in the second season, I was thinking to myself, 'Why am I watching the anime?'

I couldn't tell why the story was continuing. The story was quite messed up.
The art style was not that bad, but I don't think I liked it. In the story, every character came off as if they were the strongest characters in the anime, but they got devastated by the demon king. If they are meant to be destroyed, then why are you portraying them like they are the big deal? I mean, in a story, ...
