| I am looking forward to a sequel. Because there are so many unanswered questions at the end. Unanswered Question #1: Will Haku's rebellion against the rest of the Eight Pillar Generals succeed? We know he can look like Oshutoru, but that doesn't mean he can fight like the actual Oshutoru. Unanswered Question #2: How did the Emperor die? He had control over all that advanced technology, right? Can't believe he couldn't have saved himself from an assassination attempt. Unanswered Question #3: Why did the Emperor order the invasion in the first place? That was never explained. Unanswered Question #4: Who was the man who hugged Kuon at the end? Who? I want to know! |
Will Haku's rebellion against the rest of the Eight Pillar Generals succeed? We know he can look like Oshutoru, but that doesn't mean he can fight like the actual Oshutoru. Considering he has the mask now, that should be enough for him to fight on that level. Maybe not of that level of skill, but on that level of power for sure. He also most likely is the only one left in the world who can control Amaterasu terraforming satellites(since that requires a human) Teckmeister said: Why did the Emperor order the invasion in the first place? That was never explained. For the iceman project laboratory, hoping it contains information on the curse that could help him reverse it and turn slimes back into humans. Answered in previous season. Unanswered Question #4: Who was the man who hugged Kuon at the end? Who? I want to know! Her uncle, the current standing ruler of Tuskuru till she can take his place. As for who the character is - that is answered in the previous season - |

| The show was dragged out too long, with its fillers; it really felt that it could have been wrapped up in a single season if it had focused only on the main plot. The show ended on a huge cliffhanger and had many loose ends, but that's to be expected, since there will be a 3rd visual novel called Our Hakuoro which will probably connect the second season to the first and will probably explain the rest of the story. Compared to the prequel, this show was a huge step-up in terms of animation and music. Absolutely loved every visual and the music was great. I loved the characters, but it really feels that the VN explored their personalities more. Well since this is an adaptation, this was to be expected. As an anime it is a solid 7/10 for me, although seeing the prequel, I was tempted to give it an 8, because sadly the first season had one of the worst derpy animations I've ever seen in anime. But the fillers just ruined it. Poor Nekone. Now for the parts I really would like to know... |
| I trudged through 25 long episodes (51 including the first season) to reach an ending that doesn't sit right... doesn't feel right. This show overall felt all over the place, with too many characters and subplots that were never developed enough. That tends to happen during the adaptation process, but add strange superpower asspulls and pointless fanservice, you got yourself something mediocre at best. |

| @Radzeer [/quote] for me having played the game i couldnt enjoy the show as most others could I mean kuon can betray her country so easily by helping the people invading them like seriously? also she drops her fathers weapon like nothing and leaves it behind This is on the side : Aquaplus has been ruining these games lately its redic. they should've let Leaf&Sting the people who made the original make the sequel but instead they get a shitty director and only Sting is developing the games these guys should've payed attention to White Album 2 Ill only give it 3/5 due to : 1) I lost interest around episode 7 2) I couldnt get into any of the characters even the MC 3) Too many plot holes they gotta fill (in the game its like this too) 4) The MC really does not seem like he can lead people he was lazy even before he lost his memories 5) Director is ASS look him up seriously all his work has sucked ass |

Radzeer said: The show was dragged out too long, with its fillers; it really felt that it could have been wrapped up in a single season if it had focused only on the main plot. The "main plot" of Itsuwari is Haku building up his life and having to throw it away, as well as his relationship with Kuon progressing till inevitable heartbreak setting up the confrontation of the third part of the story. The show ended on a huge cliffhanger and had many loose ends, but that's to be expected, since there will be a 3rd visual novel called Our Hakuoro which will probably connect the second season to the first and will probably explain the rest of the story. Its actually called "Two Hakuoros" not "our" - its a word play since Hakuoro means "White Emperor" and in this case that refers to Haku of Yamato and Kuon of Tuskuru and the eventual clash between the two countries with Kuon supposedly launching an attack on Oshutoru's home province out of revenge, which is pretty much all we know about the game so far. So the more correct title would be "Two White Emperors" I loved the characters, but it really feels that the VN explored their personalities more. Well since this is an adaptation, this was to be expected. Some are worse some are better. Oshutoru for example got far more character development and build up in the anime than in the game. Either way the characters are not meant to do anything beyond introduction phase anyway since False Masks and Two White Emperors originally was meant to be one game. As stated in the first season Alas they are inferior hence why the four generals who had the masks do not wield actual godly powers instead only having control over specific elements - Oshutoru - Water, Munechika Earth, Mikazuchi - Wind and Vurai - Fire. As already implied in itsuwari, he is still sleeping. The scene at the end of UTWR1 is meant to be ambiguous. She might as well have been greeting Kuon or something anyway. She is still living in the village and apparently has got quite an obsession with making sake. 3.: What is Kuon's power? Did she inherit it from _____? What is its nature? Yes to all of that. Hence why Kurou said she could "tear the country apart" both metaphorically(since she is the princess) and literally(since she has powers of a god). She most likely can transform too 4.: How the hell did Munechika survive her encounter? Let alone escape back into the capital? she is not back at capital. She is captured and in Tuskuru. |

| just WHAT WAS THIS ENDING my whole bed is covered in tears... I loved the anime but this last episode was just a big disappointment.. |
 |
| I got the reason on why he wanted to lie (because now "he's" Oshotoru and etc), Ok. But to the point to lie to his closest friends? I think it was unnecessary, unless the goal was to make some melodrama... （￣+ー￣）I think that his friends knowing about it would strengthen things, and the matter of wanting to protect his friends from it is relative. It can protect from some things, but not from others, besides bring them sadness. ----- Well, I had some good laughs on this season. Some things answered, but again many things unanswered. (maybe again we'll have to wait some years to get the questions answered? lol) Loved the twins hehehe ^_^ They deserved some good caress, but I didn't see it =( I like affections ♡＾▽＾♡ Oh, and I really liked Kokopo as well hahaha =) That fat guy, really... that kind of character should be banned from the animes, really annoying! 〴⋋_⋌〵 7/10 By the way, just a specific question: remember that girl from the beginning of the anime? which her father was killed by Oshotoru? What happened to her? I didn't get it ┐(ﾟ～ﾟ)┌ Why...? |

It can protect from some things, but not from others, besides bring them sadness. The more people know the easier it is for the secret to get out. As of right now only Haku, Twins and Nekone know the truth so it is easier to control. Of course in hindsight not telling Kuon is most likely a mistake since she is bound to do everything in her power to crush Yamato and Oshutoru now. So while it is understandable why he did not(since of above reasons and because he does not know who Kuon is), He could have avoided a giant war by telling to her. By the way, just a specific question: remember that girl from the beginning of the anime? which her father was killed by Oshotoru? What happened to her? I didn't get it ┐(ﾟ～ﾟ)┌ Why...? Wait for the third part of the story to find out. The third game in the trilogy, Utawarerumono: Two White Emperors, comes out in end of September this year, so if there is to be an anime adaptation it will either be in the fall or winter seasons. All that is known right now story wise is that it covers the civil war in Yamato with Haku trying to unify the country, as well as Kuon, bent on revenge, leading an invasion into Yamato. |

About that, Fai, it's not even know if Kuon IS on a quest for revenge. So far it looks more like a quest for answers and save/help her friends.... Which may very well become about revenge at some point. War IS hell after all. |

Haha, you really are a dead fan of Utawarerumono series.... I think you must have some tough (or not?) times with some comments (like mine? =X).... hahaha I mean, I know how it's to really like something and do your best to talk about it. Thanks for answering again. By the way, I do not play the visual novel, but I saw that many people disliked the first half of the anime... I, instead, really liked it. It was a good slice of life the first half... much better than many of the pure slice of life animes out there... I enjoyed it. |

| Before this episode, I was gonna say that the biggest mistake of this show was to make Haku the protagonist, but I like that he's stepping up to the responsibility, and made the ending really good. This is the sort of ending that we don't get to see very often now, and I've only seen it a few times iirc throughout my entire anime-watching journey. The series concluded Haku's character well for now, but tbh I didn't feel like he really developed per se, as in his character didn't transition from A point to B point, but rather jump/skip from A point to B point if you get what I mean. Other than the ending of this series, the other parts I enjoyed are mostly the throwbacks/cameos of the first season characters, there's not much, if any at all that I really like from season 2 itself. I don't like it when people use pace to argue that season 2 is better, and while it is true that season 2 pace is definitely better than the second half of the first season, it doesn't mean that the content is better written. We spent the entire first half of the series, apparently according to the fans of the series, "introducing and developing the characters", but we've really seen nothing more than one facet of their character, and a lot of it didn't really make sense. I don't know why would the Noble Thief stay with them, other than the fact that the writers already had her joining the group when they wrote the character. It makes them a lot less like a character, but puppets for the story, you know what I mean? It also made me cringe when people from Tuskuru/season one go "oh so this kid is Haku, he must be special since Kuon gave him the fan and named him Haku", but the fact of the matter is that when she named him Haku and gave him the fan, she didn't even know much about him, and frankly, he's a sleazeball with no charisma at all at that time. I have no idea what's so special about this dude, other than the fact that he's the protagonist of the series, that everyone flocks around him all the time. Oh well, that's enough ranting from me for now, season one imo is far superior compare to season two, and I didn't even like season one all that much. Season two was honestly painful to sit through. The amount of pandering / shifting trend to suit this current generation more is sickening, and make the show feels a lot more generic than it should be, especially the jokes they use, none of them was funny. |

| I'm not sure how I feel about this... The whole season was great, but that ending... Why couldn't he at least tell Kuon. I'm pretty sure that Kuon would understand and at least keep it a secret. Great show, but the part with Kuon killed it for me :/ |
| Words aren't the only way to tell someone how you feel.- Tifa lockhart Which is it? A memory or us? -Tifa lockhart |
| Someone would have to purposely write a bad ending to this pretty decent series. I enjoyed almost all the episodes but Now if this all leads up to a season 3 where they unite then all-aboard but I don't think it will get a season 3 anime. So it's just a damn shame right now. Lastly I am completely oblivious to the guy that is holding Kuon at the end, who is he as I can place the face? A little disgruntled as I thoroughly enjoyed 24 episodes and now I am stuck with this ending... |

The real tragedy is no English localizations of the last two games =( Only other option now would be spoilers, but that would just ruin the whole story for me. I admit that I stuck with this show because the first season was amazing. The visual novel was even better. It'll be extremely unfortunate if there is never an English release for the games, which I think are the best way to truly enjoy this story. 7/10 for this series. I actually didn't mind the SOL, as it reminded me about season 1 when they had their SOL secnes. This season doesn't come close to the first, but the cameos and connections to season 1 helps its score. |

I stumbled upon this without having watched the previous series. |
|
| thats cause its not shown in the anime you think when they made part 2 they went with the anime adaption ofcourse not they went with the vn |
|
| i dont think a season 3 is going to happen just like they did with white album 2 they just animate the introductory making people buy the game if they wanna know the rest of it luckily for people who havent played it Atlus picked up both games for this year |
|
| This was an anime that improved as it went on. Right up until the war scenes, I would've given this show a 7, could've done without most of the fan service. Things started to get more interesting in the second half, overall I'll give a personal 8/10. Definitely upset that Haku and Kuon aren't together. Hoping for a third season! (now I need to actually watch the first season) |
 |
| That was a decent show. At first I thought this series was a separate anime, but after bunch of episodes I realized something was off. Due to this fact I felt sometimes oblivious for-instance Karura and Touka part or who was this guy consoling Kuon in the last episode. Although they could omit some of the fan service parts, and focus more on the story, I had still a lot of fun. I didn't like the BL jokes either. There were needless imho. Another positive aspect of this anime is music which is great and well matched. The ending was really profound and moving but it left me discontented. I know Haku paid a severe price and has to carry heavy burden on his shoulders but he could handle it in other way. Leaving his beloved Kuon and his friends really taste awful. I'll rate this anime 8 overall. Time to start journey with the first season I guess. I wish they would have English VN, so I could experience better the whole story. I also hope there will be a third season of this show and we would see Haku and Kuon reunited... btw was there big disparity of the story compared to the VN? |
FuzzyWuzzyAug 17, 2017 3:08 PM
| yes, after playing through all three of the games/VNs, I gotta say this anime made some pretty random and sometimes crucial changes to the story in a bad way, enough to cause inconsistencies if one were to watch this and then jump straight into the third game. There's a lot that was implied in this anime that just wasn't ever the case in the game/VN. Also, while the first game wasn't too important in terms of this anime/the 2nd game, it becomes crucial knowledge on the third game, so you do want to play all 3 games in order to really understand the third game. I do highly recommend the games/VNs. You can play all of them in English now. I liked this anime when I first watched it, but after playing the game I like it a lot less now seeing what they did to it. The only saving grace really is the music, which is faithful to the game's soundtrack. |
| that was probably one of the dumbest conclusions ive seen to date |
| its been 2 years pls make s3 already. The Haku part of the story only really shines at the 3rd arc. T^T |
| Is the season 3 has lot of war? Let this awesome anime series end, please? |
 |
| 1/10, the first 1 i ever given an anime that i finished. Maybe it is biased but this abomination is an offence to the true utawarerumono. Sure the last 3-4 episodes were a little bit better, but that is still no excuse for the ones before that. And i still had to force me to watch the last episodes and coudln't wait until it was over. This never happend to me in my entire life when i watched an anime (since i dropped the really bad stuff eventually). All those fanboys calling the filler episodes "characterization and buildup" are just blind, it is hilarious. Oh yeah lets put useless fillers everywhere and then DON'T show the stuff where actual plot is happening, such buildup - buildup to what? To dark cuts ala game of thrones season 8 where you don't show any conclusion whatsoever and end a scene or even an arc (like the invasion) in the middle. I really hope season 3 will take up where season 1 left, the only decend episode was 16 and 24. The characteres were all shells, when fake oshturu (Haku) said that haku was dead i just laughed out loud because this whole developmend is so forced and bad it is hilarious. |

| So they were making bonds for most of the episodes just to abandon all of it in the end... Ah I wish they stayed in the village that was in the start because first few episodes were great I had 9 or 10/10 rating at start but it was decreasing with each episode and last episodes since Emperor died were just terrible :/ Promising start, average middle but terrible end. 6/10 and no more for that last episodes... |
hiraishinxJun 4, 2021 3:34 AM
| I'm ambivalent on this season but I will say it was completely disappointing outside of a few episodes. Most were skippable garbage. 4/10. I hope the final part is as good as the first and doesn't follow the direction of the second. |
