From the ED, looks like Mihaya might join the regular supporting cast, same with Kiharu.

Yay! It's good to have Akagami back! :) Really missed this anime!
Nice start to the season, with a calming beginning to bring us all back and then introducing us to some new problems to come!
Can't wait to see what happens! Looking forward to next week!


So cute! :3

Nice OP and ED song.

Shirayuki is the same as usual. Don't exactly know why she doesn't want to return to Tanbaurun temporarily though.. I mean, it's her hometown and I doubt Raj will do anything bad to her.

Shirayuki x Raj!!!
Shirayuki x Guy who kidnapped her from first cour
Shirayuki x Slanted eye guy

Glad to have Akagami Mondays back after Starmyu Mondays filled that spot last season <3

There weren't moments to make me squeal this episode but it was a good setup for the season. The background art is as pretty as ever but I was a little disappointed in the character animations. They seem to have dropped in quality. But well nevertheless looking forward to what's coming up. It must be difficult for Shirayuki to return to Tambarun since it is associated with that bad experience.

Yay it's back! Missed it. First of all, the OP seems a little unfitting... tho that might just be me. 2nd, gotta love Obi/Ryuu bond. 3rd) Shirayuki is as beautiful as always.

Love the ED song, eyelis is great <3

Seeing this again I'm reminded of the many little things I enjoyed in S1 but didn't appreciate or acknowledge at the time, even the romance which is pretty damn good by anime standards. Kinda wish they'd drop the hackneyed "I'm not gonna lose / do your best" trope - this show is too good for that - but it's a quibble.

Oshima's music is once again the huge star of this show. On the short list of best composers working today (or ever) imo. Just gold.

Didn't care for the Op song but damn those were some lovely visuals.

Obi rulz ;-)

I prefer the first OP over the second one though.

Seriously... my favorite part of the OP is when Obi is being awesome and running and stuff.... it just looks epic... and the end how it freezes on Shira looking serious and her hair half flowing <3 yassssssss!

Seriously, Zen is just... UGH... the PERFECT boyfriend.

Always thinking about the future. Shirayuki being his motivation to do better. It's a relationship where both parties become much better people because of their love for each other. One of the greatest points about this series is the mutualistic romantic relationship between two extremely likable and good willed characters. It's absolutely flawless and perfect. It's how two people should be.

Solid first episode. Good conflict and plot.

gettttt dunked on!!!!!!

Second season starts...
Love the Opening, Hayami Saori is easily one of the best Singing Voices in anime in my opinion.
Art looked a bit cheap on a few scenes
Pretty plain but entertaining episode overall,really loved the OST.

OK episode, the first series was ok overall but ultimately felt kind of aimless though i liked the small forays into the political side of things in the 2nd half of it so im hoping this season taps into that as well, the directing, art, and music are all so spectacular but the show just kind of doesnt phase me in any impactful way otherwise and im hoping something works out more for me this season. The episode itself seems quite standard and im not expecting much to come of it but i hope to be proven wrong.

3/5

Still waiting Shirayuki's hair to grow long again just like before she cut it in the 1st episode..

Decent return of the series, hoping to see ZenxShirayuki grow closer this season as well. I don't want distractions, annoying love triangles or growing distance because "She's just a herbalist, not suitable for a prince who needs to arrange marriage for the sake of the kingdom" crap. They showed their true feeling beautifully at the end of the 1st season. Now dont stop there, keep filling our hearts with warmth please.

Oh and throw a few Disney reference if you feel like it...

I love the new OP! Way better than the last one. Although I like the old ED more this one is good too. I'd love to hear the full versions.

I missed these characters so much, it's good to see them again. I loved the interactions, the scene with Obi & Ryu was so cute (I forget Ryu is 12 since he's so mature lol) & the Shirayuki x Zen moment <3 I'm looking forward to the progress of their relationship. And now we're heading for some drama, it seems interesting. This could be better than the first season. 5/5

Second season. Nice start.

I'd like to have Shirayuki show more of her personality than just "hard-working girl being nice to everyone" and for her to push the plot on instead of getting pulled and some character development. That'd be nice.

Oh, and more about others, like Obi and Ryu.

I finally managed to watch this! Shirayuki and Zen are always so adorable, and I'm interested to see how this is going to play out. I loved Zen's aggressiveness towards Mihaya; that was perfect. And Izana still gives me reason to hate him, even though he's actually kind of logical. Ugh! The complications!

I actually really like the opening for the 2nd season more, as it kind of reminds me of Color from Freezing. The ending lacks a bit compared to Season 1, but it's also pretty good. THE VISUALS ARE PERFECT IN THAT THOUGH MY GOD!

Can't say I liked the first episode. I didn't like Zen either.
I hope the whole season won't be this "save Shirayuki from this and that" stuff.
