Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu 2nd Season

Despite a rough start, Makoto Misumi's life in another world takes a positive turn when he meets more demihumans who recognize his presence. Now as the leader of a fast-growing demihuman community, Makoto wishes to make human society more accepting of them and thus builds a business showcasing the demihumans' abilities. To extend his reach further, Makoto enrolls at the Rotsgard Academy to learn magic and expand his business venture there.

Meanwhile, the goddess who summoned and forsaken Makoto had brought two other people to her world shortly after sending him away, making them heroes of their respective nations. Given enough time, Makoto's path will intertwine with both of these heroes, which may cause the world to take a drastic direction.

For me, Tsukimichi season 2 was an improvement in every way over season 1 and one of the most enjoyable shows this season. Better story, better villains, actual development from the MC, just a more entertaining watch. Turned me from someone who would doze off during Tsukimichi episodes into a fan.

This season of Tsukimichi from start to finish was a blast. The story finally felt like it got going. Whereas season 1 felt like an introduction to Makoto’s new world, season 2 feels like him finding his place in it. Moving on from just being a merchant in the background to being a character ... in the forefront. New characters getting introduced, especially the other heroes from Makoto’s world, Makoto’s time as a teacher, a conspiracy behind the scenes, quite few emotional scenes.. this was just a damn good season. A ton of stuff got packed in here and I can finally understand the hype for the show now.

One of my biggest issues with season 1 was Makoto’s personality. Felt like he was an asshole and just didn’t like how he handled everything with the demi humans, hyumans, demons, etc. This season forces him to re evaluate how he’s been doing things and question his views. I appreciate that the author gave him some much needed character development and he just feels like an MC I can get behind now. Still has some places I’d like to see him grow and take some of the edge off, but he’s getting there thanks to the challenges he has to go through in this one.

Just like Makoto’s mind seems to be expanding, so does the world. Introducing new factions, enemies, political tensions etc made the world that in season 1 felt a bit claustrophobic, feel a lot bigger. Glad we finally got to go to other locations and see how the world’s fairing outside of Makoto’s little bubble. The world isn’t just black and white, but more often than not shades of grey and Makoto finally realises you can’t paint entire races with a wide brush. It’s not as simple as humans bad, Demi humans good.

Lot of action in this season especially at the end of it and man, that final battle was some of the hypest stuff I’ve seen this year. The studio delivered some solid action. Only fault I have with the production is how many damn cliffhangers we left off in this show! Seems like every episode they cut off right as things were getting good, definitely kept you on the edge of your seat wanting more though so fair play.

Tsukimichi 2 finally lived up to the hype for me and now I see why this series influenced others like Tensura.

Tsukimichi 2 gets 9 out of 10.

Mixed Feelings

TSUKIMICHI Season 2 follows Makoto Misumi as he continues his journey in search of the remnants his parents left him. While expanding his Demiplane with new species and tending to Kuzunoha trading company Makoto dabbles in teaching at a Rotsgard Academy. As he expands his grasp of the new town he finds out there are more sinister factions that wish to do harm to him and his companions especially in higher echelons of society. Given the chance to collaborate with an uncommon ally, Makoto has decided to flip the script with his alliance in fear for the sinister factions putting his companions at risk.

Story ... & Character: 6/10
The story continues Makoto as he gathers more evidence of his parents' journey in the goddess' world. It's enjoyable to an extent but definitely becomes less ambitious with arbitrary introductions to new side characters; The major plot events lose their grandeur because of the poor impact from these side characters. The story remains fairly predictable with the plot direction but the development in terms of territorial restoration was an unexpected implementation.

This season we get a set of new characters and the existing ones are developed further with their fair share of conflict and bonding. This time around character development felt more inclined to the side characters as opposed to Makoto where their dynamic are tested and developed more than his own. This resulted in fights being a lot less substantial between Makoto and external factions yet dynamic between companions felt more in tune. At this stage the character depth with the original cast is a lot more satisfying to see as Tomoe, Mio and Shiki continue to grow in the background. It would've been better to see character establishment similar to theirs where unexpected major events occurred. The antagonist factions felt a bit weak in terms of their stance against Makoto especially the ones targeting Kuzunoha Trading Company.

Art & Sound: 6/10
The art this season wasn't extraordinary by modern standards with the character designs falling apart between scenes. We see more use of slideshows and panning shots this season also which degraded the viewing experience. Action sequences lacked much fluidity and in between attacks were noticeably choppy however it's good to note this series isn't known for its visuals.

Sound design was also fairly above average; The voice acting was decent along with sound effects. There weren't much meaningful use of music beyond setting the tone of each scene. However, there weren't any drawbacks from the audio experience.

Overall & Enjoyment: 6/10
I enjoyed this season for what it was, an accumulation phase for Makoto - As his network grows, he becomes more inclined to the affairs of the Goddess' world and now even more of a target by the Goddess. It could have been much more exciting with pacing the fights and character development better (i.e 3 episodes for a fight scene is a bit much especially for a non-boss antagonist)

Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy - Oh, good golly, Tsukimichi, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU???

I immensely loved Season 1 of novelist Kei Azumi's Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu a.k.a Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy when it first came out all the way back in Summer 2021. Being a parody Isekai, it's a perfect fit for straddling against all other stereotypical and average Isekais of the time (that unfortunately we still get now in this day and age). And as much as Season 2 was greenlit thereafter, I was eager for more of the Tsukimichi greatness in time to come.

But good God, how wrong was I to have high ... expectations for Season 2, because it was a total shitshow of a long, frustrating, and mind-numbing time having to sit through all 25 episodes for the past 6 months (or the equivalent of 8 to 9 hours on a binge minus the OP/ED segments), one would understand why the sequel HAD to be a continuous 2-cour, if not for the continued adaptation of the LN being a hook, line, and (literate) sinker.

With Season 2 adapting Volumes 5 to 10 of the LN, despite having literally the SAME production staff team with a studio change to J.C.Staff, it's understandable why studio C2C was not chosen to continue the project, since they already had their hands full on Shangri-La Frontier. But even more aggravating than most, is the pacing of the LN, which suddenly slows down to a crawl. Ultimately, I'll have to say that this unfortunately goes both ways. The awkward transition from the fights to pure, slice-of-life moments where Makoto "Kuzunoha" Misumi is not only progressing as the leader of the demons' Demiplane, but also becoming a teacher after being a registered merchant himself, it just feels natural to go from one significant moment to another...only to realize that like Season 3 of Tensei Slime, it's literally the same push-and-pull mechanism of heavy dialogue and set-up for the events that are about to unfold as Makoto ascends into the new city that is Rotsgard, and also learning of the other Isekai-ed heroes who represent their various kingdoms, fight together against common enemies. It doesn't help that Makoto has degraded in his thinking as he attempts to navigate all 3 duties at once, and the sequel really got the better of him as concurrent circumstances forced him to utilize much of his "right-hand man" group with Tomoe, Mio, and Shiki, with literally little to no room to breathe when evil strikes at his corner, being the only hyuman capable of facing the strongest of its kind. Yes, it's the same character development that we desperately needed to see from Makoto, but at what cost?

I'm not one to be a party popper for all things bad, but it's the obvious truth: Season 2 of Tsukimichi is one of the worst sequels I've ever experienced in all of anime. It's not exactly in the same tenure that is the oblivion and total destruction of The Promised Neverland's sequel in Winter 2021 (being the most recognized butchered adaptation of all time), but everything is literally downgraded, with the saving grace of a budgeted studio like J.C.Staff being very prominent in 2-cour productions to withhold their animation prowess and hit-and-miss when the moments call for it. In a make-believe world, director Shinji Ishihira would've liked C2C to come back to produce another season, but since they're the quality studio that produces no more than 1 anime at any given time, he's fraught with having to choose inferior-but-quality studios to continue its adaptation, and that's how he got J.C.Staff onboard for the sequel.

Sadly, the music easily takes a nosedive, as both the 2 cours' worth of OP and ED songs, along with the OST, are just plain unmarkable and forgettable at best. And if that's the best form of sincerity I could give, it's that you can easily skip all 70 to 75 minutes' worth of it in a binge.

If there was a show I did NOT want to see fail, it's Kei Azumi's Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu a.k.a Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy, and Season 2 only proved to me that since the series will still continue onwards with Season 3, it has a lot (and I mean A LOT) of work to win its anime fanbase back with quality content from later volumes of the LN. But for now, it's a massive disappointment of various proportions that just leaves me speechless.
