"Random", "Over-the-top", "Weird", and "Hilarious" might be some of the descriptions one might come across when reading about the Arakawa Under the Bridge franchise. With the plot's groundwork having been laid out in the first season, Bridge x Bridge showcases more of its eclectic cast's daily life and misadventures with a little character development every now and then, if one pays attention. As Bridge x Bridge is the second season of the original Arakawa Under the Bridge, viewing of the first season is required for full enjoyment. That said, Bridge x Bridge will satisfy most fans of the first season with its ever quirky characters

Where to start? Slight character development spoilers ahead.
Arakawa Under the Bridge x Bridge focuses more of the interactions between Riku/Kou and Nino than the underlying social commentary that the first season reflected in a community of people whom in most cases would be shunned by others. But who despite their superficial eccentricities are still more or less normal human beings inside, with all the flaws and strengths that encompasses, who find a home together in the middle of, yet separated from the judgmental eyes of society. In some ways Riku/Kou is the most bizzare among them. But despite his constant attempts to separate himself from the ... Oct 21, 2010
Wow, Im the first to review! Well, it's my first real review as well, still hope this will be to some help. NB this is MY review thus I'm expressing my OPINION. I just want people to understand why I really like this series.
This really is a continuation of the first series - Thus: Story: 8 It takes a certain kind of humor to appreciate the storyline and humor really is the key to this series. It's wonderfully hilarious with free spirits that are not necessarily stupid, like most cartoon characters, but only different in their way of thinking. Even ... Aug 12, 2013
Unoriginal, Safe and linear compared to the first season are all true when talking about Arakawa Under The Bridge x Bridge. But WAIT! Before you instantly disregard this sequel you MUST know that in many ways Arakawa Under the Bridge x Bridge is better that it's predecessor and if you loved the first season, than I guarantee you that you will definitely love this season. You may be treading some familiar ground, but hey, who said that more of the same is a bad thing? Welcome back to the crazy, yet humbling place that is, Arakawa Under the Bridge!
Story: (+) For starters, this is indeed ... Jun 22, 2020
Arakawa Under the Bridge Review Part 2
Quick Note: I don’t like repeating what I said from my last review for the first season unless for comparison sake. Feel free to check out my Arakawa Under the Bridge Review Part 1 if you haven’t. Arakawa Under the BridgeXBridge continues where the series left off. The animation and art style still retain the same quality and consistency from the previous season. How you experience the weird atmosphere is still carry over in the sequel. The cinematic techniques use in illustrating the narrative are the same with some added improvement. Some innovations in the ... Mar 18, 2024
This is the continuation of everyday lives of the people under the Arakawa bridge. There's no plot direction, it only presents the comedic interactions between the characters and their everyday lives. That being said, this is not a bad anime considering it has no plot, because the everyday lives of the characters is the strongpoint as to why this anime is worth watching. In addition, there's also no significant character development from season 1. One thing to note, there are new characters that were introduced which adds a new flavor of interaction with already a good cast of characters. All in all, this is a

This review will focus on pretty much both series since they ran in the same year.
Young business man, a future CEO of big conglomerate, falls from a bridge and is saved by mysterious blonde girl Nino. His family’s motto is never be in debt to anyone. And as Nino saves his life, he becomes indebt to her. Trying to make up for it he asks her to wish for anything. And she wishes for love. Thus begins his crazy life under the bridge, amongst group of crazy people, where he may be the craziest. If I had to sum up Arakawa it would be ... Mar 19, 2011
When i found the second season to Arakawa under the bridge, was overjoyed, this series is hillarous and based around comedy, this show is not to be taken seriously, yet you grow alittle more human after watching it. no spoliers here, but in the end of the series i wanted to cry, just because i didnt want it to end.
Plot: 7 The overall plot, well... its lacking to say the least, it has a few major plot holes, such as what happen to a character who tried to murder another one, why isn't that explained? Why is the dad so understand about his son living under ... Dec 4, 2016
So, Arakawa Under the Bridge....X BRIDGE!
I'll be honest here, though I started watching this a long time after it aired, I'm surprised it got a second season. Shows like this, despite being rather entertaining usually don't get more than one season yet here we are. I was rather fond of the first season and I started this one soon after. Story: Listen, I know this supposed to be a gag series but please, please, do not dangle what could be very interesting plot threads in front of my face and NOT resolve it! I had so many questions left over from the first season. Why were these ... Mar 16, 2011
This season was more a filler season like full metal fumoffu. Nothing much happened story wise, which is my rating for 1 on story. Unfortunately, there isn't a rating in comedy; otherwise, it would be a 10 for being the most enjoyable anime of season.

If you look at my entire score you see that my overall score really isn't an average of the others. I'll break down why I gave the score within this review and try to show you how an anime that has great elements might not have the best score.
Enjoyment: If you came here for laughs you'll surely receive them. Season 2 continues the pure enjoyment you got out of the first season with jokes and nonsense littered throughout every episode. The writers rarely miss their mark and when they do the moment is brief and still gives you a small smile. Many people will enjoy ... Mar 30, 2013
!!This review includes the first season!!
And yet, another anime with no meaningful story line. More like it doesn′t really have any. The first time I stumbled upon Arakawa Under the Bridge, I thought it was really great - guess I got my hopes up and got nothing. Nevertheless, I believe it gave me some good laughs, from what I can remember. I guess not all 'slice of life and comedy mix' anime are always that great, for me. Unlike Working!! which became one of my favorite slice-of-life and comedy mix anime. I wonder why this anime isn′t tagged as Slice of Life. Yes, story. Where is ... Sep 17, 2018
*English is not my mother tongue. So, I hope everybody can understand this review. *
Nowadays, there are a lot of studios that are trying to recreate auspicious series from the past. However, they fail horribly in the process. One example of this, could be the last Anime directed by Shinichiro Watanabe (whom is the man responsible from animes like Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo and Ergo Proxy, just to mention a few). Nevertheless, sometimes they come up with deep and involving stories. In fact, this is the case for Arakawa Under The Bridge. Firstly, let me introduce "Shinbo Akiyuki". This man is and educator in Shaft Studio ... Dec 9, 2012
They are so back with more of their weird antics and hilarious activities.
There’s a long review coming……… About the STORY It is even better while the previous season is more of an introduction; this season brings not only more laughter but also more of the romance between the two lead characters. Well, not that I love less the previous one. It is really amazing how the comedy and parody is well balance with the serious scenarios of the story. I just love it whenever you see a serious scene then suddenly you realize that you are already laughing your hearts out. I am genuinely amazed with series ... Mar 26, 2023
Part 1 English
Part 2 Bahasa Indonesia -------------------------------------- Well, well, well, what do we have here? It's Arakawa Under The Bridge X Bridge, or as I like to call it, Bridgeception. Because let's face it, who doesn't love a good bridge? This anime is a sequel to the original Arakawa Under The Bridge, which was already pretty weird. But somehow, X Bridge manages to up the ante even further. We've got a cast of oddball characters, including a guy who thinks he's from Venus, a girl who dresses up like a nun, and a guy who wears a kappa suit. It's like a freak show, but with more laughter ... Sep 4, 2014
Straight sequel to _Arakawa_: continues the slice-of-life+tsukkomi/boke humor with a bit of plot in moving forward the protagonist's relationship. This second season promises to resolve or at least significantly advance the Nino subplot with the first & third episodes but then largely drops it. In between the usual gags, it introduces two new characters, and concludes without much more development.
The OP/ED are visually clever and interesting, and a number of scenes capture the classic _Arakawa_ humor: episode 09's wabi-sabi tea ceremony was hilarious, the shonen & Kinnikuman parodies in ep 10 were amusing, and ep12/13 answer the burning question of which of the characters would ...

A step down from the first series, Arakwara Under the Bridge season 2 retains the lolsorandum humour of the season 1 but loses everything else. This season none of the characters really develop except for the new butch dyke character who is not very good and feels like a copy of another certain character (minus the child form) to operate as a love interest to Nino. The social commentary from the first season is missing and the everything else is basically the same as the first plus one character.
Season 1 is one of the funniest and charming anime ever, Season 2 is good but never ... Jul 7, 2014
I have watched the first season, so you can say, I'll be writing this review for the whole series' sake.
Everybody agrees that Arakawa Under the Bridge is crazy. Not crazy bad though, but crazily funny. I mean, a show starring a star-headed singer, a talking kappa(a mayor at that), an ex-soldier nun, and an outrageously-gorgeous, weird Venusian(Nino claims she's one), a sadistic man-hater, and little red riding hood should not be considered normal, right? All this craziness were bonded perfectly in Arakawa. I first thought that Arakawa would totally waste my time, but then I watched a couple of episodes from the previous season. And ... Aug 19, 2011
Short and sweet anime/manga reviews: Arakawa under the bridgexbridge:
Pros: This a even funnier anime than it 1rst season, Great art style(as expected of Shaft) Great songs Openings and Endings are awesome, Large and Funny Cast of characters, plus you'll get more than a couple of giggles in this anime. Plus there are hints of romance here and there. Cons: Since this is a comdey gag anime your not gonna get a great story or character deleopment and alot of questions in this series go unansrewed(Still hoping for a second season) Jan 6, 2022
“I will adhere to your command. ‘Throw down your gun. Take up your knife. Get in close and use CQC! Semper Fi!’ Right, my Lord?”
- Sister, Episode 13 Arakawa Under the Bridge x Bridge is a great sequel that builds on the strong foundations laid before it. The comedy is stronger, the characters are zanier, and the emotions are more tender than its prequel. Since this is a sequel, the focus of the anime has moved away from the beginning of Kou and Nino’s relationship to establish more of a plot beyond the comedy. There is, however, still a dedication to the absurdity of ... |
