Really good start, a discrete graphics coupled with breathtaking views, finally we also have a comedy really pretty. Protagonists who are now pleasant and friendly. Gag really comical and costume design very pretty. Finally also the OST is catchy and apt for the purpose. Very satisfied overall.

Love the characters, especially Kuon (Erina's (Shokugeki no Souma) seiyuu does her). Glad this is 2-cour!

I'm extremely pleased that this show is exposing so many new people to the first series. I always thought that it was quite under-watched.

This first episode was very nice. I think I'm going to enjoy the next two seasons!

You should probably watch it, because more than likely there will be information you are expected to know. I like it a lot, I'd consider it a good used of your anime watching time.

Will Touka appear in this anime?


Probably, yes. But she has got a new design



PD: is not fake. You can see the characters in the original page: http://aquaplus.jp/uta/itsu/

Mod Note: Visuals of characters before their appearance is kind of a semi-spoiler. I've put the images and names of some later appearing characters in a tag. Please don't talk about later action from either of the games, or from the alternative version in the original anime.

Considering this continues after the events of the first show and uses and builds upon a lot of the lore revealed in it, Its a good idea to know what happened to bring about the current situation.

Starting osts much much rpg/ff vibes, then giant monster, slime, grey chocobo.
Kuon & Haku have such great chemistry, rare to have a super cute cat adult. Why's she so eager to be his "guardian"? Cultural rule to save random people?
Japanese veggies in naan looks delish, i should try that.
Stretching routine LOL! Lots of questions over world & his green hospital cloth, but missed everything except all that shippo... White Fox pretty guarantees good animation.
Prequel in my PTW forever, guess I'll watch it now.

Aaah...I don't have a lot of time to watch the first season now....Can't I watch it without watching the first season? (I mean, I'll watch it but I need to finish a lot of anime first; Ouran, Guilty crown and others...)

You might miss some details, but I don't think it will be something major for now.
Looking at the episode titles, it might be best to have seen the first series before watching episode 6 of Itsuwari though.

How is this chick so strong? She a descendant of Karura or something? And why would she go through all that trouble to take care of some strange guy she found? Something to do with that guardian thing she keeps talking about? Seems she knows about Hakuoro so it might have something to do with the fact that he's also fully human.

The MC is probably a frozen scientist/engineer like Hakuoro. And god, he better not be some kind of reincarnation of Hakuro or his Godzilla form or something, its bad enough that the story is gonna follow the "fuck everyone" bullshit route of the game.

Anyways, I really like the heroine's voice for some reason. There's nothing really special about it; its so normal yet charming and gives her an air of sophistication and maturity. Or something. Might have more to do with the actress's performance meshing with the character's personality.

Seems to be common in this series. Maybe its cuz Koyama Rikiya is a pretty famous VA in the anime world so no one made a fuss about Hakuoru's voice but Koyama usually voice middle age men. Then again, Hakurou does look to be in his late 20's or even early 30's (even though all the girl he's fucking are in teens; yeah I know) while Haku looks quite a bit younger.

Mmm, that seem like an interesting adventure story. As an early guess, I bet the plot will revolve around that scourge she was talking about and it will start attacking people.

Kuon is so damn cute! Her ears seemed a bit weird at the beginning, but I guess they are just very fluffy.

Mah nigga, there better be romance by the end of the show or I'll be mad!

Oh, also, is it me or Haku was wearing a hospital garb? It clearly didn't looked like the costume they are wearing.

Art is great, I'm really happy they didn't use CGI for the monsters since it looks like shit. Likable characters so far, all of them. None of them fit a real stereotype which is good.

Hope they won't keep using the "Did you say anything?" gag for too long, it will get old quick.

Feels promising so far, like a good MMORPG that never existed and maybe never will.

A lot of attention has been given to her tail it seems, as it's almost constantly moving, which is unusual for talking scenes where they tend to keep things still to avoid movement and thus, have to draw less frames and save money... It's a very nice touch!

It was so annoying and boring to hear the voices of the main characters!! I came into this sequel after finishing the prequel not too long ago, and I definitely prefer the older voice acting style compared to this soul-less, very generic newer style of voice acting. It just feel like the same voice acting that you get to hear from other characters, there's nothing that belongs to their character, and their character alone, which make it really generic voice acting. This is why I am not a fan of the current generation voice actor/actress, they learn how to memorize by following their predecessor's footstep, and not create and improvise on their own. Oh well, just gotta try and get used to it I guess.

The story seems pretty interesting though it does look like it's gonna be kind of a rehash of the first season, with the main plot I mean. The main character, Haku kinda lacks some charisma that Hakuoro had. His mindset is way too similar to the youngsters of our current generation, in that we take a lot of things for granted and get very slothful, not wanting to work but reap the benefits of those who work. I don't think that kind of personality mesh well with the historical type of setting.

In this new series, the animators sure put a lot of emphasis on that tail, compared to the previous season. I guess that's because there are more people who have awakened to the fetish of animal tails now than before. Can't deny though, it was cute.

I also like the weird/funny face they have on sometimes, just like the prequel, I find them amusing. Art and animation also seem pretty good thus far. Hopefully it turns out to be better than the prequel, though I am not hopeful as the first episode was really lacking.

edit: forgot to give credit to the DameDesuYo fansub group for the fantastic work they put into their sub, I enjoyed the part where they spun the spin(?) word during the bathroom/peeking scene.

The tail pull is my favorite part, just like in the first Utawarerumono series, the MC just has to pull that girl's tail to see if it's real.

I like it. The main characters are way more charismatic than the ones in the prequel.

A great start so far. The Tatari looks really creepy here, gives me nightmares of a certain battle stage and Kuon is pretty adorable.
