I liked the ending song the best but the first part of the episode didn't seem to have the charm of the first season but it redeemed itself in the second half

I think I'll enjoy this season more than the first season. Also the ED is pretty cute...

It was a decent episode, but I kind of hoped for more. It is the first one after a break, after all. But I guess they had to re-introduce all the characters, so there is not a lot of freedom there.
Not liking the idea of volleyball match that was hinted. I think, one soccer match is enough sport for this season, but who knows? Maybe it will be fun.

Opening theme was a bit... lacky. I liked the visuals, but the song sounded very similar to the first season. I saw CDs with soundtrack popping up on various stores, so I thought they'd put more effort into making it more original and it was just more of the same. The ending theme was nicer, tough.

Next episode is about Umaru and Alex. Wonder where that will go. I definitely wanted more of him in the first season, so I'm interested in what he will bring to the table.
Overall, nice start, but I expected more.

Oh, and that "giant weed" reference. Loved it!

i am probably not the only person that realised that this episode referenced a ton of Captain Tsubasa and Inazuma eleven, i can say about captain tsubasa because certain shots are basically just that similar, when the game starts, when Sylphinford takes the shot and she's unable to score because of Kirie.

if you guys can tell me more about the references made in this episode, please do so!



there is also, a small but obvious reference to Haruhi suzumiya.

I am pretty sure that "weed giant" reference was towards Attack on Titan. They already did one reference to it in first season (commercial in the episode when Umaru wanted a car). That was pretty hilarious.

Dat translation inaccuracy in the preview. I thought translators had access to the scripts... What she actually said: 「う゛う゛う゛うまるの人気を考えたら、とーぜんの事だからー!」

...which translates to: "C, C, Considering my popularity, it was only natural!"

A showdown for first episode. Not bad, I gotta say. And the "Zone" is included too making it so energetic even when it's just a first episode.

It was so cringe. I somewhat even liked season 1, but this is just...bad. Maybe the Ebina episodes will be ok.
I know it's meant for an entirely different demographic but that doesn't mean it can be terrible lol

For some reason despite reading the manga I never came round to watching S1, thought I might watch S2 but turns out I'm not a fan of both MCs' voices. Not how I pictured them when I read the manga. I'd rather continue reading the manga then.

...or so I thought but after watching Imouto etc warmed up a bit. Will try watching this again tomorrow

How can you have enough courage to watch something from the second season without seeing the first one and put your complaints out here? Manga and anime are two different products, you can't just jump in like that and expect it to be any good.

Jeez, what's with people's culture of viewing nowadays?...

Had plenty of smile and laugh today in watching ep 1. Tachibana is the perfect combination with Umaru.

Umaru finally make real friends with the others.

This is my favorite kind of entertainment. 9/10 for first ep. ^^

I know enough about Umaru to expect it to be good. I think it will be too, if I thought it was shit I would have said 'the voice acting is shit' I didn't, just said I didn't really like it, out of personal preference. It's a SOL too, so jumping straight into S2 doesn't even matter. + I'm the kind of person who really hopes manga and anime are two different products, I dislike like for like adaptations.

All in all no idea why you're so flustered about my post.

The ""complaint"" was only about how he pictured the voices, which is perfectly valid regardless of the season.

It's nice to see this show again :D Umaru definitely seems to have matured a little bit since last season, it was nice to see her worry about making friends and stuff XD The soccer match was pretty fun as was seeing all the other characters too. I need more onii-chan in my life though XD The OP and ED were both super fun and energetic and fit in perfectly. Looks like Alex gets involved next episode ... more older brothers hehe XD

First impression was:

the OP ... now, that's what I call disappointment.
It did not have to be as top-notch quality as season 1 OP, but at least give us something, not nothing.
Season 1 I simply can not skip the OP, and over and over again I find it funny and enjoyable. Season 2 I can not not skip the OP.

-----------------

Episode 1 ... well, hm, ok-ish, I guess? Other than finally getting some more of them characters, nothing much memorable.
But season 1 also did not convince me on episode 1 so lets wait and see.

ED : ah, finally we're getting something.
------------------



:D nice!
