HINNA HINNA is back.

And so is the rest of the gang, as crazy and over the top as they are. And seeing Edogai's fashion show animated was quite a surprise. It seems the producers will pull no punches. They'll show everything. Which means we might see some firsts for anime very soon.

It's great to see Golden Kamuy again and it got to work very quickly with Tsurumi visiting the Taxidermist, Edogai, whose whole personality is a bit out of whack. Still, his fashion parade to Tsurumi was hilarious, though. =P

Heck, the humour is one thing I missed the most about this show at the first episode had a lot of funny moments in general.

The OP song used for the ending credits sounded really good, almost on par with Winding Road from last season.

Overall, this was a great first episode of season two to get things underway again. =)

Ah I missed this series. So glad the gap between seasons was relatively short. That whole interaction between Tsurumi and the taxidermist guy was hilarious. Especially when they were doing the fashion show. lol
I also really love those little segments where Asirpa introduces Sugimoto to parts of Ainu culture and lifestyle like with the edible plants in this episode. Glad they added one right in the first episode of season 2. Great episode, we're getting right back into it.

Ainu Culture Tour is back. Really missed this series' unique, over-the-top and occasionally very subtle sense of humour. More quirky characters joining the cast is great. Lt. Tsurumi's harem is growing. A kid named Boner. Interesting.

Made a great decision of picking up the manga after watching the 1st anime season. Is what I'd recommend for anyone who's digging the anime and has a chance to buy/download them. They have some cut material too, mostly "filler" / not related to the main story. Characters and humour got across me better than on the previous anime though.

Glad to have this back.

Edogai is such an 'interesting' dude. XD
The entire first was dark but also amusing. Tsurumi has got a pretty good plan though, to push fake tattoo's into the mix with originals.

Second half was pretty decent too.

Looking forward to next week.

So the fortune telling woman is a betrayer, her shady ways did give her away a bit. Edogai is the creepiest bastard I've ever seen, the modeling of the skins with Tsurumi and talking with those corpses was eh.

I guess this start is great and we dove in the mist of drama so soon. This second season will be good I can tell.

It's back xD

What a way to start the new season, that guy is so creepy omg. I was like wtf.
So, some of the Ainu are fake Ainu and apparently, that guy who is with Asirpa is one of the fake ones.

Missed this, glad that we have another season! Can't wait for more Asirpa x Sugimoto xD

Omfg that was some weird shit, lmaooo. The sniper rubbing his eyes and being like, "what did did I just witness?," was pretty much my reaction.

Anyways, so glad to see this back! First episode, and we are already getting a new conflict regarding fake Ainu. I really like Tanigaki, nice to see him on the move as well.

Also, My First Story (collab with someone else) OP! It's hard to go after MWAM like what happened with IBO, but Hiro's voice also has that intense effect.

Oh I missed how informative this show was. I truly enjoyed every minute of this first episode.

The whole scene with Edogai and Tsurumi was hilarious despite of how dark it actually was xD

Also, Tsurumi is slowly becoming one of my favorite characters I mean, for someone without half of his brain, he's really smart. The idea of making fake tattoos to confuse the other parties was really nice.

Looking forward to the next episodes. This one was great although I noticed the fire animations are still the same. Let's hope the bears and wolves not to be the case.

Bloody hell, the first half of this episode was very weird and disturbing to say the least, thanks mainly to the stage taxidermist.

It was a somewhat interesting episode, but I won’t deny I was a little disappointed but I just can’t make out why exactly. Seeing Asirpa, Sugimoto and company was very nice to see, and I wonder if that old man’s thoughts are true meaning one of them may actually be bad news. I hope Sugimoto catches on to this. Tanigaki, meanwhile, seems to be in some serious trouble now. Lt. Tsurumi still remains the most insane of all, and that’s bothersome to see like always but it makes for really interesting sequence of events. “Boner” and the taxidermist’s mother with one of the twin scenes were awkward but hilarious.

I’m looking forward to seeing the next episode, and I hope the show gets better from here on. I really enjoyed the first Season a lot, so I hope Season 2 can deliver too! ED of this episode was amazing though!

Style looked a little different, maybe not but looked a little more graceful and gentle.

Looked as good as ever though. So compelling, so fun. It's surprising by now to think that I was close to dropping this around EP4/5 of the first cour

Hhahhaaha same here! I really like the 1st cour's OP of Winding Road and was wishing that they can still use it in the 2nd season. But well....

Glad the show is back and with its weird characters again!

Man, I really wish I hadn't watched this episode while eating dinner. At least it wasn't... finger food.
I learned that lesson very quickly in the first season. Then one week when I didn't have anything else to watch, I thought, "Eh, it'll be ok". Yeah... that was the finger food episode.

So, at first I was like "that's a weird mask". Then I looked closer and realized what it was. Then I looked again. "Are those ears?!" Seriously, though, the guy is a brilliant postmodern artist 100+ years ahead of his time. Wonder what kind of statement he was trying to make by putting the face in that particular spot. He is such an assface! When he's wearing that suit, is he like White Blood Cell-san? Does the penis stand up straight when a germ is nearby? Maybe in his case it's Tsurumi.

I liked the first season well enough, but I think I'm really going to enjoy this season. Welp, time to search Pixiv for TsuruEdo slash...
