Mahoutsukai no Yome Season 2

Apprentice mage Chise Hatori is invited to enroll at the College, a prestigious learning institution for sorcerers, to examine and look for a way to remove the curses she bears. Despite the reluctance of her groom, Elias Ainsworth, Chise accepts the proposal, as she believes attending the school might help her minimize her self-sacrificing tendencies.

From the get-go, Chise grabs the attention of her classmates and professors alike, who have never seen a mage in action before. However, there is a sinister plot brewing behind the College's back, and the young mage will have to determine who is friend or foe in order to put a stop to it.

Maybe it's just because it had a strong second half, but I really enjoyed this season. Unlike the first season, it's a bit more streamlined in terms of keeping to plot in one place. In the first season, you had a lot of short stories that grew the characters, but didn't always relate strongly. In this one, it focuses on the collage and the students, with all the plots weaving together nicely.

I know some complained about focuing too much on the side characters, but I felt they were all done well. I liked how they all had a fleshed out story/background with relatable issues. I ... also like how the students interact with each other in different ways, and they all feel unique and fleshed out.

The story this time is more interesting as well in my opinion. Maybe it was due to re-watching the first season that removed some of the suspense from it, but I felt more compelled to watch the next episode to see what happened next here. I'm looking forward to now watching the second part, so hopefully it doesn't disappoint!

Mixed Feelings

This is another series that I wish I liked more than I do. I definitely don't think this second season was as strong as the first. It introduced a LOT of new characters that sorta get sidelined more and more as time goes on, aside for like 2 of them. Chise's lesson that she learns throughout this season is sorta contradictory to both her lesson in the first season and also to the lesson of one of the new characters, so it was kinda hard to tell what the overall message they were going for was supposed to be. Other than that, a lot of ... my feelings towards the first season are still here, both good and bad. Chise and Elias' relationship is still a mix of beautiful and awkward and they're both a joy to watch on screen. The acting and visuals are still fantastic. Music still isn't great, which is a shame. Comedic bits were reeled back a bit, which I appreciated, since comedy isn't this show's strong suit. Overall, I guess your enjoyment of this series will heavily depend on how much you liked the first season. And your decision to keep on watching will depend on whether or not you're willing to be in it for the long haul. Especially considering that there's still more to come in the future.

6.5/10

Not Recommended

Although I was really looking forward to the season, it was very disappointing. As the title describes, it's about the bride, who only played a miserable supporting role this season.
It's also not much about magic but about sorcery. From the first part to the last it was all about a budding sorceress named Philomela who just complained until the last part of the season, it was hardly bearable so I skipped most of the scenes with her. She was mostly annoying and infuriating, which led to me not liking the entire second season at all. Elias and Chise only play pathetic supporting roles, there was ... even less of Elias than Chise. I would have preferred to continue lingering in the magic. Cartaphilus was also hardly shown. Explanations about Chise's arm and curse were not discussed further, and the audience was also left in the dark about her new abilities, which I found very unfortunate.
