This was over the top and full of superpower, just so much you'd laugh more than actually take it seriously.... er well, not that you were supposed to take it seriously in the first place. But it was fun overall, even though the names were really confusing and some characters were downplayed. Music and animation were really good and the ending was good enough to make you anticipate the next season.

If you liked Basara 1, then of course 2 is an equally crazy watch, continuing with the over-the-top antics, hot blooded characters and nothing that makes sense. But then again, Basara isn't meant to make sense but to have fun, turn off your brain and you'll fully enjoy all the craziness. This season was more dramatic than the first but enjoyment wise, it still delivers. OST still rocks hard!

I will have to admit I wasn't that interested in this anime at first since no one raved about it, and due to low expectations, I thought it was much better than expected. If you are coming in looking for a war, political centered plot, you'll be hugely disappointed since this anime focuses more on character relationships. Lots of scenes didn't make sense but then again, I thought it was thoroughly enjoyable because the feelings of the main characters were fleshed out so well. Maybe the girl-side of me was squealing, especially during the triangular romance scene between Alicia and the 2 fine men (yes, not schoolboys but MEN!!). Some scenes took me off-guard, especially since I hadn't played the game which was for the better of course.
The music was lovely too, however the downside was the animation which even though originally appeared soft and fluid, just got choppy halfway through, making it even hard to ignore.
Overall I would classify this as a war drama with little action, it didn't fare well in some parts but did an excellent job in building characters, and thats what you should look out for when watching the series.
