Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha II: Shijou Saikyou no Maou no Shiso, Tensei shite Shison-tachi no Gakkou e Kayou Part 2

Bad adaptation or bad story?

So the second part to season 2 of Misfit of Demon King Academy finished and I´m a bit disappointed to say the least. This is without a doubt the worst part of the entire series and is because of the poor adaptation done by Silver Link. They may not be the best studio out there but they aren´t the worst.

So far in this part there are quite a lot of layers to the story that are badly adapted and is what makes it confusing to understand. Thankfully before CR removed comments I was able to understand what was going on ... from the commnents of LN readers, since there were a lot of things that weren´t explained properly or that were just skipped all together.
The one thing I can say with certanty is "He is Anos and he will beat you!"

The animation did take a dive in this part by the use of CGI to create the dragons and some of the fights scenes didn´t look as good as they did in previous parts.

The soundtrack is ok and in the same level compared to the other parts. What stood out the most was the OP and what a banger it is in my opinion along with nice animations and cut-scenes.

The characters have been getting the developments they needed such as the relationship between Lay and Misa/Avos. As well as the highlight of the season... Emilia! From "Made to be hated" to "Support at all costs" Big W in my opinion.

The comedy is still golden, from the Demon King of Tyrrany to shooting Love beams with his BFF, it´s hilarious!!!

I know adapting a story from a LN is considerably more difficult compared to one from a Manga, however there needs to be a change in the studio, whether that´s the team behind it, the director or just change the studio itself if there´s ever going to be another season (which I hope it get´s one).

Overall I think there´s a good story to be adapted specially since towards the end of this part we´ve seen Ano´s supposed father, which leads to the next arc!!. It´s a shame the adaptation doesn´t live up to the LN, however even though of this lackluster part I still really like and enjoy watching Misfit of Demon King academy.

There is no doubt that it is a very bad adaptation of the novel and saddening for novel readers like myself seeing the pages I read getting this treatment which it doesn't deserve. I'm not saying that the novel is a masterpiece itself but the anime doesn't do it justice.

Misfit of demon king academy is an average fantasy show with generic medieval character design and Landscapes. Anos goes to a magic academy even though he can have his way with his power as he is one of the strongest in anime and also ( Anos LN version can solo Opm and Dbz verse cry ... about it). I have to say this show started off greatly but wasted it's potential midway.

Season 1 was good, First cour of season 2 was peak but this part? It is very sad to say that it is boring and uninteresting. It's info dumps are one of the worst I've ever seen. They dump you with a huge range of terminology by explaining only a little bit of them and also not clearing what is going on or why some characters are behaving a certain way. Characters are overly dramatic, their dialogues seem too artifical and crafted like they cannot speak like normal people, through away your eloquence atleast for once and talk like normal People.

How can I not mention the CGI dragons. They look bad and very unappealing and make even the action scenes difficult to enjoy. The story is confusing. In addition to not explaining the terminology, it doesn't clearly mention what each scene is about, I mean sure, keep some things hidden,you don't have to shove everything down the watcher's ass all at once for the sake of mystery but atleast explain the stuff which is going on. Even Great Spirit Arc ( season 2 part 1) was more comprehensible than this.

Overall, watch it if you don't care about story or if things dont make sense, enjoy it, don't think too hard about it, it is a pretty average show worthy of your time but not of a 8/9 out of 10 rating. Also I hope they properly adapt the silver sea arc as It is one of the most important plot wise.

Maou Gakuin no Futekigousha II: Shijou Saikyou no Maou no Shiso, Tensei shite Shison-tachi no Gakkou e Kayou Part 2 (2024)

Honestly, the show gets thinner and thinner as it goes. The first season had some depth to it with the hardships but it has gradually just gotten to a point where everyone is so damn powerful on the Anos side that they may as well just take over the world. They are unstoppable with insane power. Some shows have 1 character or a few in a class with people that can fight them but not this anymore. The story is pointless, no matter how deep ... it gets Anos and his crew will walk through it with no issues outside of emotional moments of crying then happiness 10 seconds later.

The art is not bad; it has kept with its original art, which is great, but nothing has really improved. Some shows are great for keeping the art so similar but this one feels like it is just a bit meh now.

The sound has gotten a bit flatter as the show has gone on. I was hoping for explosions for example to have an echo or a boom but no.

The characters are boring now, for me. Anos has such incredible power that he is better than everyone in every way but also talks you to death about it. The main girls Sasha and Misha are just so incredibly powerful that they don't have to try anymore. All of them to be honest just either have insane power or stand in awe of the group. It just is pretty boring, you can fight a god with thousands of years of experience, feared by many of great power and 2 minutes later they are defeated and switching sides or go away in shame. This has happened before but at least they put up a fight that was worth it. What was the point of them, if not only the main character but his crew could do that. The weaker members of the choir as I think of them, suddenly have mysterious backgrounds or abilities popping up. You have attempts at romance that are overshadowed by cringey fights to prove love. It is just too much in too little time.

For me the show is dead, it is gone from a reasonable watch where I gave it an 8 then a 7 and now honestly I cannot find any reason to go above a generous 3. The show is flashy, trying to do too much all at once whilst making everyone in the main cast the main character. If it continues like this then the world will just cease to function surely.

3/10. I'm done.
