Spy Kyoushitsu 2nd Season

Four members of the Din Republic's spy team Lamplight embark on a mission to capture an enemy spy. Although they struggle to work together due to their clashing personalities, Thea, Monika, Erna, and Annett complete their objective. While enjoying a short break, the four girls encounter a woman named Matilda, who claims to be Annett's mother. As they get to know Matilda, the team is dragged into an escalating conflict that tests their teamwork and allegiances.

Meanwhile, the remaining Lamplight members notice that the dispatched squad has yet to report back. Worried about their allies, Klaus and Lily set out on an emergency expedition to locate their missing teammates. As the two uncover troubling information about rising tensions in the area where their friends last were, they must act quickly to reassemble the team before the mission reaches the point of no return.

If you liked the first season than this is "mostly" more of the same. It resolves the cliff hanger at the very end of the first season, contains a mostly complete story arc of itself, but leaves you open to the possibility of more going forward.

It's tone is "slightly" different than the first season in that it's more of a "maturing as themselves" tone than the first seasons "meet the crew" hijinks. You can see development and growth. The personal interactions are mostly similar though with a few characters having their backstories more fleshed out again.

Over-all I enjoyed it, though it felt ... like it had slightly lost some of the originality and charm of the first season, though not enough to make you go "it's not good anymore" or something similar. The voicing was good, the art of the same quality, and the score at an acceptable level. A few moments when the pacing might have been a touch off, but that may also just be a personal thing.

In general I'd say if you enjoyed the first season, the 2nd is worth a watch.

Spy Kyoushitsu's first season recieved mediocre critics at best. It did many mistakes - messing up everywhere from a too fast pace to seemingly screening the episodes in the wrong order. It's mystery wasn't thrilling and the cast was far too big to give proper development to the individuals.
So it's hardly a suprise the expectations for the second season weren't exactly high.

The story of this season just continues where Season 1 left off. With Grete, Lilly, Sara and Sibylla getting the spotlight in the last arc of Season 1, Season 2 starts with a story around Anette, Thea, Monika and Erna.
After they ... successfully completed their mission, they take a few days off, but their vacation is cut short by a fateful encounter. This encounter forces the girls to make some very difficult decisions, and shows them the true reality of their life as a spy. All without their teacher giving advise and protecting them from harm.
This arc does a great job in giving Anette, Thea and especially Monika some much needed development and growth. And at the same time, it tells a great and exciting story with a lot of twists, mystery and action. Something both Arcs of the first season didn't manage to do.

After the first excitement follow three filler episodes, just like in season 1. They focus on Monika, Thea and Anette and work well to satisfy the interest gained in the characters from the previous arc. Monika gets mostly backstory, Thea's story focuses on her values and inner conflict and Anette's goes deeper into explaining the "method in her madness". They also manage to hit with the comedy where Season 1's fillers missed.

The final arc rounds up the first "act" of Spy Classroom, connecting the dots of the first 3 stories told. It does a great job of highlighting each of the girls and how much they've grown, both individually and as a team. But the main focus is on Thea, Klaus and their backstory with the previous members of Lamplight.
This arc once again suffered from slightly high pacing, but unlike the first season's arcs, it's no problem to follow the plot and enjoy it. And it did a great job in finishing the season(s).

Last episode is Lilly's filler - a funny comedy episode. But that's only half of it, as the other half is about Thea processing the previous arc. It finishes with a nice bridge between the two halfs anf finally a tease of what would be next in a potential 3rd Season.

In conclusion: The second season of Spy Classroom is nothing like the first. It fixes all the major problems and finally makes use of the great potential this show's characters and world-building have.

If you cared about the first season enough to look up reviews for the second - go watch it. Even if you are disappointed and conflicted on whether to continue. It was the same for me. If you've come this far, keep going!

Mixed Feelings

I will start this off by saying that I have not read the source material for this series so keep that in mind. I really enjoyed the first season of this series, I thought that the pacing was good and the characters were interesting. I was intrigued by the story of these kind of misfit spys coming together to make a team I thought for the most part season two lost everything that made season one good.

At times I found the pacing for season 2 felt random was hard to follow, the story seemed to have done some for of time skip from season ... one so unless you know the source, it seemed that new characters were being introduced but you weren't given any real backstory on their connections.

The show did have a few bright spots, mainly the episodes that actually did seem to carry over the story from episode to episode but I was pretty letdown but the season. If you are familiar with the source then you just might enjoy this season but if you are someone who has only seen the Anime, I think this season might be a letdown but there is some good spy action so that is enough to carry it for the most part.
