Synopsis Kimihiko Kimizuka has found himself inadvertently entangled in various crimes more times than he can remember, referring to himself as a magnet for trouble. One day, as if it was nothing out of the ordinary, a group of unknown men kidnaps him, forcing him to board a flight—where he also encounters a hijacking. Amid the resulting chaos, however, Kimizuka meets a stunning silver-haired beauty, going by the codename Siesta, who then saves the day. Claiming to be a legendary detective, Siesta enlists Kimizuka to be her sidekick. Though Kimizuka refuses at first, with Siesta's insistence, he eventually joins her—marking the start of a grand adventure spanning the entire world, preventing multiple threats that could spell doom for humanity along the way. Unfortunately, after three years of their unpredictable yet enjoyable time together, Siesta abruptly passes away. Distraught, Kimizuka tries to leave all memories of her behind, but as he begins to meet more people, it seems that Siesta's influence will never truly die.

| Another day, another sequel no one asked for. Some really unfortunate timeline this is. |
 |
| Again I'm asking, how did Re:Zero not receive a 3rd season while this Dumpster Fire got a 2nd season. |
| Didn't expect this at all |
 |
| Wish they will not rearrange the story and destroy everything again for the second time. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
Waiting for Re Zero S3 announcement but instead we got this. |

| Ah......was not expecting to ever get more of this. Hope it isn't like S1 that peaked in the first half of episode 1 and was all downhill from there. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. MAL is literally just anime Twitter as its own website lol. |
| This gets a 2nd season while NGNL still hasn't. I'm starting to lose hope here. |

| It was pretty boring, but as far as I can tell, the original is quite popular in Japan. Softhenic03 said: Another day, another sequel no one asked for. Some really unfortunate timeline this is. Another day, another complaint from Western fans that the Japanese care about the Japanese audience first.

Time to get Hashimoto to animate one good sequence in ep 1 once again. Yeah kinda confused about why people always say "why this anime get a sequel instead of other anime." well you have given the reason. Anyway i kinda waiting for this one, just don't cut out a lot of scene from LN, character design already great, just take the time so you don't have to outsource it to small studio with 80% of it made by them. That's what i was hoping for Most people are well aware that it is popular. People are just salty because the Japanese support franchises they don't like. |

| I had expectations for this anime and it wasnt that really good. I probably will pass the anime only if its like the oppisote of what s1 is like |

| Who knows, is it worth watching or better read the source instead? I like detective and mystery genres, so it sounds interesting for me. I haven't watched the first season and also don't read the light novel and manga. |

| I remember how much this show confused the heck out of me. It felt boring too after the first few episodes. Hope ENGI can do much better than s1. |
| Who are these people and what is this anime? |
| Hope for S2 a better studio picks it up since ENGI ruins every LN they touch |

| THIS thing is getting a new season? |
| I can't believe this garbage sells enough to warrant another season |
 |
| I'm devastated....There is no GOD |
NextUniverse said: Who are these people and what is this anime? I have the same question. |
|
| I was already gonna watch the first season despite the bad rep either way, now I have more incentive to do so. |
 |
| I didn't hate this series like most people seemingly did so I don't mind this getting a second season at all lol |
| Will this get another Vtuber cameo~? |
| ah okay 2nd seasonnnzzzz |
| All kinds of shit getting a second season and yet where's my NGNL? My Claymore? |
| Stop the sequels high-ranking stupidity. Group franchises in Top Anime page. Because Gintama is just "one" anime and not 5. |
| It's official, NGNL is the most popular anime to never get a S2. |
| Is this worth revisiting? I dropped the show after the first episode. I expected mystery but got The LN art looks good though. |

| Amazing news, loved season 1, can't wait to see this, keep those seasons coming! |
| WOWWW so This got a 2nd season announcement after a year but not even a single speck of dust for ohshc after 16 years..... is life even worth living💔 |
| After seing the usual ignorant top reviews with low scores on season 1, I knew people would be malding under this announcement, lol. Like, if you don't like it, nobody told you to watch its second season lol. Also why bring up Re Zero, it will literally get a S3 eventually, if not next year, in two years. They definitely will not let that one die. This isn't the right topic for that either way |
| bruh |
| I like how every complaint about "why didn't X get a sequel instead" lists an equally woeful show. It puts a nice bow on this whole ordeal. Still, I'd say waste of effort, but the studio are hardly any good elsewhere so maybe letting them play with this is for the greater good. |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |
| Well not a least bit excited but will only watch it for Siesta |

|
This is an excuse, because the concept of "quality" anime is quite subjective and often depends on tastes or even mentality. |
|
| First season was ugly, horrible. That in this next season they change practically everything. |
| Apaixonado por jogos e animes. |
| in my experience this was a steaming pile of shit but if it's popular in Japan then it makes sense that it would receive a sequel |
Yuu_Kanzaki said: This gets a 2nd season while NGNL still hasn't. I'm starting to lose hope here. TRUE. Hopefully with S2 whoever is in charge actually wants to deliver a better adaptation? I have yet to see the anime, but from what I read, I put my hopes on the LN first whenever I get to this series. |
