Masamune-kun no Revenge R

Story make less sense with each minute. Motivations for every main character degrade into simple unsubstantiated desires with no foundation or realistic reason. Their problems are so bizarre that you can't seriously empathize with anyone. Even if you can accept that main characters actions can be fueled by fear of revealing their true intentions or deeds, when moment arrives and reasons are revealed subsequent MC actions does not make much sense for generic human being. And if you take this new found knowledge and apply it retroactively to actions of some characters it make even less sense.

It is obvious from S1 that MC is in ... love with his "revenge" target. And yet his approach undermine his revenge goal, love goal and common sense. Someone probably could say that this is done for entertainment reasons, but for what I can see it is just a poor writing skills.

I really enjoyed the first season, so I was ecstatic to find out that a second season was already out! But after finishing it, it just left me feeling both satisfied and dissatisfied.

First of all, the animation was disappointing, to say the least. Their weird movements were a bit hard to watch at times. But hey, I watch these mostly for the story, right? I wanted to see how everything would turn out for Masamune and Aki.

But the story was confusing, oddly paced at times, and unnatural. They introduced so many plots that didn't seem to have a proper closure or understanding. Although, I liked ... the ending, and it was the ending that I had always hoped for. But every twist and turn they took before it seemed almost unnecessary. Or maybe it wasn't explained enough or stretched out enough. I don't know. But maybe I'll check out the manga if it's any better.

The character interactions were also a bit stilted. I didn't feel any sincerity or connection from them. but hey, maybe that's just me.

I do like the general ideas of the characters. They were each different and had their own subplots or motivations. But I feel it wasn't enough. Again, maybe it was better in the manga.

Overall, the beginning and end were good, and it could have been a fantastic anime, but they messed up a bit in the middle.

So, in conclusion, I will check out the manga.

Masamune-kun no Revenge R is a sequel myself and everyone else waited over 7 years for, even if I wasn't super excited I did still remember season 1 fondly and was looking forward to watching this. The first half or so was pretty good but in the second half especially towards the end I was absolutely lost and really found it hard to follow/understand what was going on. There were some very odd and questionable sub-plots and character actions that felt like they only served to pad the runtime and drive wedges between characters/force in drama which annoyed me quite a bit. I also sadly ... didn't find the payoffs to be that satisfying, there had been plenty of episodes prior leading up to these huge moments but they kind of fell flat for me, don't get me wrong I really did enjoy the finale and how it all ended up but god did it get quite convoluted and messy and that lessened a lot of my overall enjoyment. I really question why a lot of what happened did but hey I guess I did enjoy this overall.

This second season is such a let down, the season gets more and more boring everytime a new episode is aired. My expectations were much higher after watching season one, the story was really interesting and i looked forward for them to get together, but when they did it was quite disappointing.

I expected a wholesome relationship that would occasionally put a little smirk on my face with their awkward and cute interactions, BUT
the anime decided to stall the relationship EVEN MORE, after that happened the season has gradually become boring.

There are much better romance anime's out there, Masamune-kun's revenge deffinitely could have easily be ... considered one of those romance anime's but they just ruined it, the synopsis was not that common and was interesting.

Though i do still have some hope the story turns around. Still, only the first 5 episode's were worth the watch.

So this is the complete review of Masamune-kun no Revenge season 1 and season 2
the plot (6)
so some might have liked the plot bcuz of the story but it is too absurd like a kid just got out from womb proposed a girl, gets rejected and seeks revenge WTF!. Overall the story somehow made the plot less worse but still I cant get used to this plot.
Animation and character design(8)
animation is average or slightly above like it is very normal animation not to extraordinary not to bad I'd rather say its above decent than most recent anime.
Character design is one thing I dont know what ... to say like her mom is one thing I'd like to point about, She literally is a kid given role of adult, she is cute but looking at mc's dad I first thought he was pedop***le. Second is mc's design why the hell does he look so pale, at least they could've given him some muscles. It is told that he had hard training for eight years but he is looking like someone who was lost in a fare and lived 8 years on streets and then suddenly his parents find him.
Story and direction(7)
story of this anime is good and I liked the back to back twists at the end. Although S1 one is rated rather worse than S2 but I liked S1 better. S2 disappointed me when Masamune started chasing Aki rather than making her fall in love with him and also the direction of season 2 was soo bad like they barely managed to put the story in place and even after binge watching I had difficulty understanding wtf is happening like in S1 the story barely matched the title but in S2 it was a completely different story from its name and description.
OVERALL the twist caught my eye but the last few episodes have too messed up direction like I'm not telling to just put a explanation but even if you want to create a create a mess just put it like so everything comes together in the end so the viewers might enjoy it more when they figure it out.
This anime is recommended. overall it has good animation story and kinda lowkey plot and direction

I was a bit skeptical going into this season, but oh man, it delivered.

First off, let's talk about Masamune and Aki's relationship. I was shipping them hard in Season 1, but this season took it to a whole new level. Their interactions were so tender and sweet, I couldn't help but squeal with delight. And that confession scene? _swoon_

But what really impressed me was the character development. Masamune finally learns to let go of his revenge obsession and focus on his own growth. And Aki... oh man, Aki's backstory had me tearing up. I never thought I'd feel so much empathy for the ice queen, ... but this season made me understand her so much better.

The supporting cast was also on point. Yoshino and Neko's friendship goals are everything, and I loved how they supported Masamune through thick and thin. And that new character, Chinatsu? She was a great addition to the cast!

The animation was also top-notch. The colors were more vibrant than ever, and the character designs were so expressive.

What really made this season stand out for me was the way it balanced humor and heart. There were moments when I was laughing out loud, and others when I felt my heart strings being pulled.

Overall, I'd give Masamune-kun's Revenge Season 2 - 8/10. It's a must-watch for anyone who loves rom-coms, and I'm so sad it's over. Can we get a spin-off or something?!

P.S. That ending though... I need more Masamune and Aki in my life!

To have a sequel for this anime is definitely a dream come true for those who love it. Back in 2017, I was an entire newbie as an anime watcher but a Naruto die-hard fan. Masamune kun no Revenge is on my list of anime that I really wish to have another season of, as the concept of the story is remarkable, and I would never have thought I would be writing a review for the second season of it after 6 years.


Although I can barely remember what happened in the first season, the MC, Makabe Masamune, left no stone unturned in seeking revenge, and ... to achieve that, the girl who used to be his childhood friend and had turned into a tsundere must fall in love with him in the first place without recognising him. Just the background story of the main characters is enough to make the show unprecedented. However, more kinds of unpredictable settings came along along the way, and you can only feel surprised following the plot.

Frankly, the anime isn’t disappointing, and I think it makes a brilliant comeback. The start of the second season is merely amazing, as it continues to break my cognition of the show in the second season. As I am not a manga reader, the story is quite surprising to me once the truth behind the misconception within the love triangle (Koiwai, Masamune, and Adagaki) has been revealed. My perspective towards Adagaki and Koiwai has totally reversed since the misconception was exposed, and I am now totally on Adagaki’s side, whereas initially I was not.

Talking about the plot from an overall viewpoint, the pace of season 2 might seem to be rushed, or some cuts of the story might jump up out of nowhere. Anyway, I do enjoy all the absurd yet astounding plot twists and outcomes of every episode. It’s been a good time to see such a rom-com with entertaining drama.

Other than the plot, the adaptation of animation and visuals has been done so well that it doesn’t really influence me , what i mean is that it's still within my acceptable range and I did not expect for once that this animation would be completely spotless at all. In this case, the uniformity of animation is slightly slacked off. However, the story and OST has its own special vibes that live up to its role in making the anime memorable.

Last but not least, the successful adaptation of the second season without broken animation is really a blessing, and I have got to say it’s a decent moment in the ACG community. Although the original source has not ended yet, the full stop is put in the right spot in season 2. We would be lucky if there will be a season 3 by any chance in the future. Whatever it is, season 2 has been thrilling. Words can't describe how grateful I am to those who made this happen after years, and hopefully we can get more sequels for other old anime that people have been longing for.

Masamune-kun's Revenge R Season 2 takes a step further into the tangled web of its characters' relationships, but the promise of comedy falls short, giving way to a heavier emphasis on drama. The series, billed as a comedy, struggles to maintain a lighthearted tone, leaving viewers with a narrative that feels more like a messy soap opera than a humor-filled romp.

One of the notable features of this season is the exploration of messy relationships among the characters. While the complexities of relationships can add depth to a story, Masamune-kun's Revenge R seems to revel in the chaos, presenting viewers with convoluted and often juvenile plotlines. ... The attempt to inject drama into the narrative overshadows the comedic elements, making the series feel more like a melodramatic exploration of romantic entanglements.

The characters, unfortunately, continue to lack redeeming qualities. Instead of evolving and becoming more relatable, they remain stagnant or devolve into even more unlikable versions of themselves. The absence of characters with whom viewers can empathize or root for diminishes the overall enjoyment of the series.

Masamune-kun's Revenge R does differentiate itself from typical harem anime by embracing a unique approach, but the novelty doesn't translate into quality. The series struggles to find a balance between its comedic roots and the newfound emphasis on drama, leaving the overall tone inconsistent and difficult to engage with.

While harem anime often succeed in bringing a smile to the viewer's face, Masamune-kun's Revenge R takes a different route, introducing a level of drama and trauma that may leave audiences feeling more depressed than entertained. The series loses the charm that makes harem anime enjoyable and fails to provide the uplifting and light-hearted moments that fans of the genre typically seek.

In conclusion, Masamune-kun's Revenge R Season 2 sacrifices its comedic foundation in favor of a messy blend of drama and juvenile plotting. The lack of redeeming qualities in its characters, coupled with the deviation from the expected harem anime formula, results in a viewing experience that may disappoint fans seeking the lighthearted enjoyment characteristic of the genre. The series, unfortunately, falls short of delivering a satisfying balance between comedy and drama, leaving viewers with a sense of unfulfilled potential.

With more dramatic story beats, interpersonal and intrapersonal conflicts, and a steady forward momentum to draw out and expand the romantic implications laid out in the first season, Masamune-kun no Revenge R is a strong sequel that brings finality and tackles the consequences of Masamune's plot to exact revenge on Aki. Does his plan come to fruition? Does Masamune realize how ridiculous his plan is? What is its aftermath and how do the characters truly feel about themselves and each other? Season 2 is a recommended watch for viewers seeking answers to these questions and the branching ramifications they imply.

This second season of Masamune aired ... quite long after the first season, so it makes sense that there are more callbacks to and recaps of the first season than many other second-seasons. However, the season does a good job keeping these callbacks concise and limiting them to the most important details to establish the setting and conflicts, doing decently well enough that a season 1 rewatch wouldn't be necessary to be caught up to speed with the plot and its characters. Masamune-kun no Revenge R does a great job of portraying its characters as multi-layered with personal disquietudes: they are not perfect and flawless, but they are not one-dimensionally awful, either. The characters come to realize this, too, and Aki, Neko, Yoshino, and Masamune all have their share of thoughtful introspection, developing and nursing moral conflict in the pursuit of romance. Season 2 does rely on the often-used trope of romantic misunderstandings to create dramatic tension, but allows its characters to muster the courage to directly address these misunderstandings to each other without dragging them out for too long. However, the show's proactiveness to resolve misunderstanding runs a little too quickly sometimes, and in some instances doesn't allow struggles and reactions to marinate and grow organically before moving along with the story. In some spots the pacing of season 2 quickly runs through what should be important transitions: the show often backpedals by showing the aftermath of a critical event first and then portraying that event as a flashback or monologue rather than telling the story straight-up, which would probably be more fulfilling and engaging. That said, it is refreshing to see that the misunderstandings and realizations that come to shape the intentions of the central characters are taken seriously and have meaningful consequences regarding how characters see each other. Aki continues to come across as a bit stubbornly annoying in this season and the series sometimes seems hesitant to scale down the tsundere mold at times, but the other core characters provide a convincing and engaging presence.

Masamune-kun no Revenge R features more drama than the first season, but it's more of a slight curve in emotional tone rather than a sharp change. A balanced romantic/comedic atmosphere still prevails, and the season mostly does a good job in not spoiling its more dramatic moments with random comedy, as well as regularly maintaining its funny moments. The opening arc involving Muriel does seem a bit pointless but provides an on-ramp easing the tonal transition from the comedic overtones of the first season to the more dramatic undertones of the second. While most viewers will probably be able to infer the general direction of the plot, this installment throws intriguing wrenches and roadbumps that spice up the road to the series's conclusion. Some of these dramatic details do seem a little manufactured, but thankfully, the show has well-formed and well-established characters that make these twists and turns all the more engaging. The story also stays focused by ensuring that all of these twists are directly connected to the primary thrust of the plot (Masamune's plan to make Aki fall for him and break up as revenge for her coldly rejecting him in childhood).

The ending of season 2 concludes the series with a strong sense of finality, though the aforementioned tendency for the story to skip forward and reflect back makes the ending a little unfulfilling, skipping over elaborating how we got there and leaving some questions unanswered for the side characters. The ending is a bit rushed and comes rather suddenly, developing discordantly compared to episode 11, which set up what would have been a very surprising, unique, and sensible ending. Nonetheless, the ending and the trip there that season 2 affords offers an intriguing array of character development and finality that many fans of the first season of Masamune-kun no Revenge will enjoy.

Do you like to be and feel confused for 11 episodes?
Do you like to skip boring useless parts and stick to the main story?
If your answer is yes, this anime is for you.

It's rare that a rom-com gets a second season in this day and age so might as well enjoy this one.
I don't know if I can actually recommend this anime or not, I guess it's there to be watched so do it you won't really regret it.

This anime didn't invent anything or add anything new of course, we just avoided a school festival and a useless summer episode which is good.
The pace ... of this season was good, you can feel the story going forward and the raw material not "enough" for them to stretch it even more.

The art style is good, no doubt and even the music was decent which is pretty rare.

If you want to disconnect your brain for a few hours; this anime is for you!

That was really poorly done for a finale - 4


As the title says, this could've been written alot better especially for how long we waited for this which was 6 YEARS.

To start off we had 2 filler episodes which you can skip because it has near no impact to the story later on.

Then there's the whole Gasou Arc which was very swiftly dealt with eventhough she was meant to be the big antagonist of this story separating Masamune from Aki. Like this was meant to be a big issue for Masamune to have to get around but instead she was easily dealt with and ... her ulterior motives only come about after the arc which was again really disappointing as this could have been written to be so much more rewarding, but instead it's swept under the carpet.

Then we begin the main arc where Masamune gives Aki her present and in doing so his whole guide on how to get revenge falls out with it for her to read, showing his dumb motive which was cleared up as a mistake from Yoshino, which also tips the whole reason for the plot in its head making the whole point of Masamunes 8 years of getting fit pointless.
This is made aware to Aki and yet she still loves Masamune and also because she feels responsible for him somehow.

Now here's the very dumb part of the show which was the most poorly written.
Aki then dumps Masamune after a date where she introduces him to one of the old bullies which after she determines the relationship is up. This then makes him take a trip to his grandads where inbetween this it is now confirmed that Yoshino now has feelings for Masamune which those feelings only started near the end of the second season. Another really silly thing to bring up for theatrics.
So what does Aki do? she tells Yoshino to go and confess to Masamune, which he rejects and instead they change plan to then get Aki to get back with Masamune.
You couldn't make up how roundabout and silly this is as it proves to be a big waste of time. Where as if it was written better this could have been made more emotional and heartfelt, of a boy who mistakenly got dejected by an old friend and then growing to love her and then changing his whole outlook. But instead we got this dumpster fire with no after story so as to probably try and scrape a 3rd season which won't be meaningful and more of a cash grab if it gets the greenlight.

As we could've got atleast a bit of after story such as more growth as them as a couple, As we all know you don't just get into a relationship and that's the end of the story. We saw none of Masamune's family meet Aki and it just feels soo unfinished.


Now for the worst part. Here's one thing which really disappoints me, The hair cutting.
The reasoning is stupid behind this. Cutting your hair and trying to give it symbolism to getting over something in a slight rebellious way. So not only do you make Aki look less attractive but also make it pointless due to her getting back with Masamune anyway.
To any women reading this by chance, keep your hair long as short hair is just not a nice look in comparison.


So for anyone who watched the first season and now thinking of watching the second. If you're dead set on watching it, skip the first 2 episodes so you don't waste your time and then prepare for a disappointing story with very little plot.
And you may also be wondering why my recommendation says "Mixed feelings" as the only reason is because the first season was good. But as far as this goes I would have told them to redo the whole thing to be written better.

This second season really has a lot of surprises, all the mysteries that haven't been revealed in the previous season, many things are shown here, and everything is neatly arranged so that it doesn't make things strange to the storyline.

It's just that what's more surprising is the difference in Art Style, even though I've checked that the Studio is still the same, but why is the style of the illustrations different? Especially for Fujinomiya Neko it looks very strange compared to the previous season, but for the next few episodes it looks like there be improvements, I hope that in Blue Ray there will be ... improvements to the illustrations that look strange, not only the illustrations but the coloring is also different from the previous season, but long- It's taking a long time to get used to seeing it, and some scenes look stiff, but the quality is good even though it's not BD yet.

For episodes 1 and 2 I was a little confused, because their relationship was suddenly close and very different from Masamune's concept of revenge, but fortunately in the continuing episodes it started to return to the initial concept, and the storyline started to be interesting step by step and it started to unfold.

As additional closing words, I would like to say thank you for making Season 2 of Masamune's Revenge, the wait was quite long and there was no news about a second season, when I found out that this anime was starting to continue again I felt very happy.

Masamune-kun's Revenge IS BACK? NANI DA HECK!?

Out of all of the past anime that has since got revived for another season years down the road, there were two that got greenlit after the same amount of time: Isekai Smartphone (which first aired in Summer 2017, then its sequel in the last season), and Masamune-kun no Revenge, which first aired all the way back in Winter 2017. The prequel presented us with the anime adaptation up to Volume 6 of the manga, and the sequel is finally here to finish where the anime left off with the remaining volumes 7 to 10. That's 6.5 years of ... waiting for what seems like an eternity, especially with what the "R" in Season 2 is supposed to mean. No spoiler, whatever words that you can think of that start with that letter, you're probably right or wrong, the correct word is "Return".

I remember watching the anime when I first got into seasonal anime all the way back at the start of 2017, thinking that this show would be something revolutionary. Turns out, it was one of Winter 2017's hilarious turds that benign almost the majority of its audience, thinking that mangaka Hazuki Takeoka's work is a work of art...an overblown, dramatic, work of art, it seems. That said, everybody who had an involvement in the anime, from studio Silver Link's core staff to the VAs are back reprising their roles, and this is as much as I can say that it still honours what the original season had going for it all those years ago.

It's no surprise that Masamune Makabe and his "harem" team of girls are back, though this time with the one sole purpose of ending the farce that first spanned from the main characters of Masamune himself, the Cruel Princess Aki Adagaki and her loyal and faithful servant, Yoshino Koiwai. Where we left off with the whole Snow White culture festival business in school that leads to a somewhat unsatisfying cliffhanger back in Season 1 (since the manga still has aways to go), Season 2 leads to the Paris class trip, where the new characters of the Besson siblings, younger sister Muriel and older brother Frank make their official anime appearance, as well as the main villain of the story, the fake Masamune that is Kanetsugu Gasou. The remaining chapters of Volumes 7 to 10 may be a slow burn given that Season 1 took 60% of its content, leaving the remaining 40% to Season 2, is kind of a blessing in disguise that the sequel is able to properly continue the story on a storyboarding level that doesn't feel slow nor rushed, as Masamune, Aki, Yoshino and Gasou all attempt their own plans to resolve the "Pig's Foot" issue once and for all, which can feel intense because there is Masamune's reputation at stake, and the reason why the whole "Pig's Foot" and revenge issue was there to begin with. It still is a convoluted mess of emotions and feelings whether if you have read the manga and oversaw its completion back in 2018 or have kept expectations in check until the "long-awaited" sequel came out this season.

Otherwise, if you have watched Season 1 back in the day, Season 2 is pretty much more of the same indifference, although Silver Link's animation isn't the most stellar this time with considerably weaker production values, just for the sole purpose to get the anime done with the manga's story. Likewise, Ayaka Ohashi and ChouCho reprises the OST with new songs under their belt, though Season 1 is still the better of the two seasons.

In the end, am I surprised at how Masamune-kun's Revenge turned out the way that it is, having not read the manga and awaiting any hope for the sequel instead? Probably not, it's due to mangaka Hazuki Takeoka just feeling in either one of two camps: the anime flopped so hard that sales are absymal with the negative public reception, or that somehow, through this mess, the original work has to have a resolution forced either way. However, the notion, it's safe to say that out from the mess that is this show and the original manga, the subliminal message from this "boy against girl" showdown is just a dramatic affair at best.

A misunderstanding drama for the ages, that's all I can say about Masamune-kun no Revenge.

Masamune-kun no Revenge R (2023)

One of these shows I kept putting off since season 1 and the OVA. Now the second season is done, I decided finally it is time to watch.

What did I expect? Harem, Cringe, Awkwardness.

What did I get? Harem, Cringe, and a realistic end... sort of.

I expected the show to stick with the harem and the main guy to be changed and move forward. What I didn't expect was the web of lies that caused the situation to be so heartwrenching. Imagine where we would be had it not happened. Also, I do like that whilst the girls still ... think they will get their chance, which they may! it is nice that some have accepted it won't happen and try to move on. That is great to see for a change rather than all of the other guys just stuck watching this one guy horde, everyone.

The show's most realistic aspect is the body. The guy knows, the author knows, and we all know, girls may say it is cute when you are big but that doesn't mean they will date you. So whilst the girls seem to be confused at times about the motivations of the main characters for his body they do make sense to everyone else.

The art itself does look really great from start to finish.

The sound is nice with lots of emotion.

The characters developed a lot in this series. I do wish we saw more of the mum and sister. The French girl thing was kind of random, not that great but not bad. The fem boy things seemed unusual but nice that they tried to break their shell through desire.

Overall, it is a very good show, it is not perfect and I don't always think shows like this are meant to be. It isn't a deep dive like others nor is it really a comedy. It is a good 8/10. Another OVA wouldn't be bad either. This counts towards both seasons really overall.

1. Uninspired Plot

This sequel seems to lack fresh and surprising elements in its storyline. The comedic and romantic situations appear repetitive from the first season without any significant development. This makes the story boring and lacks appeal for those who have followed the first part.

2. Underdeveloped Characters

Despite their potential, the characters in "Masamune-kun no Revenge R" do not receive adequate development. Masamune and Aki retain their old personalities, showing no substantial progress or change. This renders the relationship between the two main characters dull and uninteresting.

3. Animation and Music

While the visuals and music of the show are not bad, they are not enough to redeem ... a weak storyline. The animation remains beautiful and the music is pleasant, but these elements cannot compensate for the lack of content.

4. Lack of Highlights

A good show needs highlights that leave an impression on the audience, but "Masamune-kun no Revenge R" lacks such elements. Without any peak moments or touching scenes, the show becomes bland and fails to leave a lasting mark on the viewers.

Conclusion
"Masamune-kun no Revenge R" is an anime with potential but fails to deliver an engaging and fresh experience for the audience. The repetitive plot, underdeveloped characters, and lack of highlights are factors that make this sequel disappointing. If you are a fan of the first season, you might find yourself let down by this follow-up.
phim như cứt.

Out of all the Anime that still has a vocal audience demanding either a continuation or conclusion of it, Masamune Kun was certainly one among the least talked about. Rarely does an individual appear craving some more of Masamune kun, whatever it is supposed to be. So it comes as a rather surprising turn of events that Masamune Kun is back with a second season.

Plot: It picks up more or less back from where it left last time if you remember, not to say it had much to live up to. As it stands the Revenge is still ongoing, though certain unaccounted for circumstances have ... also begun to appear. If it is not a stretch, and I'm certainly no Manga reader of this so not a spoiler, it seems the Revenge aspect might turn into something entirely opposite to what it was supposed to be in the near future, what that will be remains to be seen. So yeah, be prepared for a few surprises.

Characters: There was not much in the department of characters to begin with, not that it is going to radically alter any time soon. For what it's worth if you remember the first season, you'll be more or less clear about everything here as well. For instance, if you can tell which one is the mother and which one in the harem is a boy, you're well set to sally forth, if not, well stranger you're not the first one, and you'll certainly not be the last. Also, maybe expect some French delights.

Animation: It's almost the same as the one before, as if animation has not moved on in these last six years. There is nothing worthwhile to mention here so long as you don't happen to purposefully find anything to speak.

Music: Standard music, and standard Opening and Ending theme here, nothing to complain about or to rave about.

Enjoyment: If someone found enjoyment in the first season, there is no reason for them to not find any enjoyment here. Though, if you were not really impressed to begin with, there is hardly anything to change your opinion as well.
