I'm really glad that they brought back this series for its sequel, but damn, they ruined the character design and mostly the animation that I love so much in the past. Instead of upgrading the animation, they went and changed it into chibi-like character designs, both old and new characters are going to be annoying to watch with the new art style. Even the manga was better or the S1 is better entertainment than this.

Anyway, just seeing the 5.6★ from MAL makes more sense and realistic because of such a bad move they did with this series.

There are actually a lot of good scenes in the later chapters that need the old character designs that can be enhanced further to make it more fitting to the actual shenanigans of each character, but this is just nuts. (even MC looks so fat in his body, the macho old man is missing)

I'm appalled by the author's decision.
I even rewatched the first season, just to get my hopes up down the drain. They destroyed our hopes and dreams for this series, and turned it into rubble.

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

I'm expecting to see a sequel, and it's not, it's a piss poor remake of what I thought was a good anime.

I was really excited to watch the new season after so long but I was EXTREMELY disappointed the second I started watching the first episode and never stopped. The animation is completely changed all the way down to the bits they do, the first episode basically feels like a reboot of the the show and there are points in which someone is talking and their mouth just doesn't even move.

Needless to say, but I'm not going to continue watching this past the first episode

What in the world was this episode? Why were some characters’ eyes covered and names censored, while others had normal faces? It was so confusing.

The episode felt like a recap with a bit of backstory thrown in about our main character’s time as a game developer, but honestly, none of it added anything new to the story.

I also don’t understand why they changed the art style. Maou’s funny, shapeless, colorless faces really don’t work for me—I miss the old designs. Season 1 was miles better when it came to character design.

So this literally was a "retry"? If this is actually the 1st Season all over again with some "reimagining" of things, I'm dropping it right here. Looks pretty bad as far as the 1st episode is concerned.

So EP 1 is basically a recap of S1 EP 1 with some new elements but in this show who genuinely cares about the world building? xD Anyway I found S1 to be really bad but it's the kind of show that is so bad that it ends up being very funny because of that in my opinion, hence why I'm watching S2 but it seems like it will be way worse

I was pretty shocked by the low scores given to this show, but after rewatching season 1 and immediately starting season 2... man they fucking butchered this thing. Specifically the female characters, it's criminal lol. Poor Yuu... she was such a sexy mature waifu and now... she doesn't look young youn, but she doesn't look like a woman either. She went from a solid 9/10 to MAYBE a 6/10. Killer queen and Luna too. I'm wondering if I should drop it to preserve the series with my season 1 memories

I could only get half way thru the first episode of this second season. I only made it that far becuase the first half was a weird flash back to before mc gets isekaied. but halfway thru he gets isekaied and its doing a word for word remake of S1 E1. I could only watch it for a few minutes before coming to google to figure out whats happening.

how to remake/recap the first season while absolutely destroying the character design from the previous season. I know it's a different studio, but I expected better from the studio that did Jii-san Baa-san...

This remake episode is an insult to the first season. I would have preferred it if they just re-aired the first episode of the first season. Because all this episode had in it was what happened the first time but with poorer art, worse lines, and the feeling that they were trying to rush through it.

If they really wanted to recap for the audience they should have just used a quick montage of the first season. It would have been far preferable to this travesty.

This episode is just a remake of the first episode of season 1 and with the changes they butchered how the character feel and look.

Why are the character designs different from the first season?? It’s actually really pissing me off the more I watch it. Even the Idol that summoned him is a different gender! It’s like they just off handedly wanted a second season and didn’t care what it looked like, the animation is so cheap compared to the first season. They redid everything, even flashbacks, in the exact wrong way. And IDK about the rest of the series, but the first 2 episodes are basically just horribly recreated flashback scenes. I know I already said this, but the new character designs are seriously pissing me off. If you want to create a new season of a show, the least you could do is keep true to the original art style and character designs!
