Well, so second season of this kinda controversial anime was lately announced. Hurray.

I'm curious how many people are hyped about it. There are usually hype threads for many announced animes, so let's focus here on whether you are hyped or not and if it this anime actually might generally improve and change quite negative opinion among anime fans of Arifureta's 1st season (though not all of them, as for there were some people who actually enjoyed it).

I rarely hate an anime
And arifutera was good if we don't think about the art
It's just that people always find a thing to criticize when it's about isekai ;(

Arifureta is the definition of garbage. The only reason one would be hyped is to see that train crash fall into the ocean.

FR. Everyone on this thread so far is saying that people are hating on it just because its an isekai or the art, but its really everything. It was only entertaining to watch for how bad it was.
But that's just like... my opinion... man

Hype?! How could this crap been green-lighted to a season 2 *facepalm*
I liked watching it somewhat cause the premise was interesting, but it's bad to the point of making the Novel look bad... what is the production committee thinking? Did LN sales went up after this?

Considering all the production problems surrounding season 1 and Asread's credentials, I'm honestly a bit hyped for season 2.

Season 1 was basically the fat kid in gym class, the world-building/art/presentation of events kinda rubbed me the wrong way and I couldn't make it past episode 4 because of it. However, if Asread's working on it full-time and we don't have another production blunder, it'll very likely turn out to be pretty decent.

I read the manga/novel so it's not like I'm that worried about jumping into the anime after ignoring half a season. With full control over the production and author oversight I'm confident it'll turn out to be a good watch.

Japanese are borderline-cunts about business so there definitely wouldn't be a 2nd season after the 1st bombed so hard if there wasn't a reason.

I might watch it, but I'm not hyped for it at all. That last episode was really bad for me. It was so edgy and full of wish fulfillment that it turned me off to future episodes.

I'm the type of person that usually likes philosophical/thought provoking or sad/bittersweet anime. I only like a shounen if it has a good story AND top tier animation throughout. I usually get put off by the obnoxious fanbases like JoJo's or My Hero to the point that I can't watch them because if a show attracts that type of person then it's probably not for me.

THAT BEING SAID, I understand when a show is meant to be taken for what it is and not for what everyone expects it to be. Is this the best show ever? Of course not. Do people need to be taking it seriously and throwing temper tantrums? Lol no. Enjoy something you don't have to take seriously every once in a while. I like shows that are this blatantly cliche and stereotypical. The art-style even fits that sit-back-and-shut-your-brain-off mentality with all of its easy-on-the-eyes-and-brain pastels. It all almost has a nostalgic feeling from when I was a kid and watched shows that, by my grown self's standards, would be terrible.

TL;DR People take themselves and anime too seriously. Enjoy it for what it is. I'm glad to have more time to relax with these stereotypical characters.

All I want to say is that Aritfura (the anime) is certainly not great, but it's definitely not "the definition of garbage" either.

PS.: I've never watched Tokyo Ghoul.

That's a lot of words just to ostracize folks for having standards. I'm a huge fan of the light novel(and the manga's a nice reference for visual appeal), but the anime is basically garbage compared to its predecessors.

Arifureta's a really good story with an amazing balance of humor, action, and drama. Season 1 is absolute dog shit for one reason and one reason only: It doesn't establish a coherent plot. Artistic expression in the form of visual or dialogue queues are secondary. The biggest problem with the anime is the plot barely establishes what viewers need to know.

Considering how long ago I read the first dozen chapters of the LN, I was almost at a loss as to what was going on in the anime because they established the story /that/ badly. I really hope they make the second season better than the first. Arifureta's a really good story, it just needs to be realized in a visual format with a clean, competent studio. Hopefully with all the bullshit behind us(production problems n the like) we can look forward to a cohesive season 2.

If they follow the trend of season 1 in 2, I'll never even pirate the unofficial subs of the anime, much less look forward to future projects by the studio. If they can't even fix the mistakes in season 1, I'm really not missing out on anything they do afterwards. More than happy to just keep good stories in my imagination/2D setting if I'm otherwise going to be subjected to awful plot development and even worse animation. Not sure what they were thinking when they turned every action scene into a cum shot of near-unrecognizable spunk, but it was a huge and lazy mistake.

Edit: If the entire first episode features the protagonist in a cold dark cave for its near-entirety, you've absolutely fucked up on the story telling.

Arifureta happens to be one of my favourite isekai-novels out there, so obviously I'm glad to see it getting a second season.

I just really hope the show manages to pull off what Rewrite did, with the first season being absolute dogsh*t while the second one becomes a somewhat tolerable, maybe even a good adaptation of its source material.

As a fan of the manga, I really disliked the first season due to how butchered it was. The first episode was done so poorly that I was still confused, despite already knowing the story.

However, I am interested in a second season. Apparently, it did well in Japan, so they will hopefully put in the effort to not screw it up again.

I'm just here to see how terrible the next season is going to be

Although a lot of the character interactions were pretty fun to watch .
It just took 8(or so) episodes before it started to get good

I don't think there is a way to safe this anime but I truly hope that they improve it non the less

I really want to see what they can do without the problems they faced when they were making season 1, that is up to you to believe if they really had problems or that it was just a quick cash grab.
I really saw that they tried but with part of the budged wasted+ search for animators instead of working on the anime, there was nothing they could have done better.

Went in with zero expectations thanks to the so-called critics who can't even explain why something is bad other than using the term "edgy" as loosely as possible and "bad CGI". Nonetheless I quite enjoyed the show.

no hype, no expectation. bad adaptation in S1 already.

they need to change studio like S2 of one punch man, konosuba, oregairu if they want to make comeback

but i bet they don't have the budget to change studio again since they already did when scrapped s1 chara design with the original studio

as a person who read both manga and the novels. People dont criticize it because its isekai. But because the anime decided to take away the most important parts of the anime and change it for comedy.

The novels are set in gruesome and dark mood. The anime itself completely botched the most important part of the first novel and that is Hajimes suffering in the orcus labyrinth. And than his character development with Yue after he saved her and after they beat the final boss.

Not going to keep watching to see how much of a train crash it's going to be? I put the last few episodes on 2x speed and it was SO much more enjoyable than actually watching it regularly. It felt like someone just injected caffeine into the show and it was hilarious.

Proobably not, if I want to see a train-wreck I'd just stick to my own life. Don't need to add any more or waste my time. It was'nt toooo bad the first few episodes but after the bunny and what not annoying characters got added it just became super awful.


however putting it on speed - sounds like a hilarious idea actually. Might do that ahahaha. Also saves some time???

I've decided to put off the last 3-4 episodes anyway and see how season 2 plays out to debate whether or not it is worth wasting my time before dropping it. However who knows- also there are a bunch of other 2nd seasons or so I'd rather watch before.

Oof, that relatable comeback. But yes watching it at 2x speed is definitely a good way to save time and burn through the show. You're basically watching it high on caffeine and it's awesome. To be blunt though, S2 will probably not get better.
