Kekkai sensen & Beyond is one of the biggest disappointments I've ever had, just like its first season is a show style over substance episodic, but I am anticipating I will try that this review is the most complete possible.

Story
Leonardo Wacth came to Hellsalem's Lot, which is literally New York with random monsters, but with the same stereotypes of this city (which I will not say). Leonardo for things of destiny joins a organization called LIBRA whose objective is to maintain peace in the city and in the world.

Characters
The most solid point of the series, they are well characterized and also give an episode ... to each one to know more about them, my problem is that for the main story it does not contribute anything, there is even a characters that are relevant in a single episode, a particular case there are two episodes for a character completely irrelevant.

Development
As I said, it's a style about substance plus there's no real continuity, like the first season each episode is about a specific character and even this season's main arc feels very rushed and you can see that they ran out of time. The same thing that happened with the first season but at least the first time there were many more competent giving clues in all the episodes of what the main arc will be and they left us intrigued by their villain's intentions, they don't do that here. So Leonardo's character arc doesn't feel that personal and the villain is stupid, we don't know anything about the villain more than his motivations also we do not know where he comes from and they did not anticipate it like the previous season. Really a disappointment.

Animation and other sections
relatively still the same as the first season, Rei Matsumoto is the most talented of the staff but here I do not shine her talent as the first season, that episode 5 was the best thanks to her. The ost is still just as good, but the opening and ending is lower to the first season in every sense, musically and direction.

Conclusion
I sincerely expected this season to be much better than the first season, but it ended up being lower in every way. This season I don't recommend it, it's more out of commitment and out of curiosity, it's still not bad, it's a 5/10 for me.

This season kaguya-sama: love is war is the most popular, funniest and most enjoyable title, and although it is true that there was not much competition, the series is as good as many think?, we will know, I will try to make the most complete review possible.

Story
The main plot is very mundane and weak, so I will just say that, like other series of its kind, it is just an excuse for history to exist and It will not be relevant until a climax, it must also be said that it is irrelevant because it is not that the series ends only because ... The objective of our protagonists was achieved, which is to confesses their feeling (or rather that the other confesses their feelings).

Character
kaguya and miyuki are well characterized and have very good jokes, my problem is that their main joke is very repeated, they like each other, but they are very proud to admit itand is usually unbearable and insulting all the time that passes just to admit that he likes the other, but in this case it comes out very unappreciated by their humor, which doesn't make the show very unbearable or that you hate them, For the others, I can say chika (main meme) is only there to delay the plot and only for us Let's forget until the scene comes out, Ishigami is fine, his past is fine because they don't victimize him like in other stories that want to make a character look tragic (but he looks like a martyr), although He just has a joke and seems to be the wisest man in the cast, and finally we have has iino and hayasaka that their characters until the moment is not a problem, but they are irrelevant in this part of the series (I do not count what happens in the manga).

Development
like all series of its kind, it is a slice of life and episodic (school rumble, sket dance, etc), I mean, the plot rarely advances what is boring of moments for those who want to see something happen, and want a constant progress and kaguya sama is not the exception although it is the fastest I have seen,and the truth I never talk about humor because without a doubt it is what stands out the most and what gives it its "identity", The truth for me is something that I have already seen in other series, misunderstandings, (invented) games, that such a character is useless in such a thing, ect, does not stand out from nichijou, school rumble or another series of this type (although many denied it me).

Animation and others sections
the highlight of the series is the animation for its style is similar to shaft and is suitable for this type of humor and not makes her look pretentious, but something that must be made clear is that we are not going to give the "10/10" just for that the animation is very "pretty colors" and we are not going to say that it has an identity for this detail, the ost is very good and is suitable, the opening and ending is also good.

Conclusion
It is not a bad series, but if excessively overrated, it is just one more com-rom of the bunch, you will not miss absolutely nothing (it is more likely to waste your time than anything) so in my book it is a 5/10, if there is someone that gives a 6/10 a 7/10 I do not see the problem, but it is not worth so much to me.

(SPOILER ALERT)
I will say it now for those who want a final answer, sincerely it is one of the worst anime of romance or drama that I have seen and I have seen +500 anime so there is no reason to fail in so many ways as do this anime, but I am getting ahead of myself, I going to make this review as complete as possible, so I speak in sections.

Story
The anime is about rikuo and his boring and stressful life full of disappointments, one day he meets haru who is a girl very outgoing and happy, who feels something for him. after ... he meets his college friend shinako (crush), He never could tell her that I loved her,and here a love triangle began between them. as it seems is the typical storyof romance, love triangles, trying to be mature, poorly planned drama and in short a story that it does not bring anything new to its gender in any sense, it is more a failure in each of its proposals.

Characters
Rikuo is the typical main who never matures and is a loser, he seems like a high school student, he never have initiative, it is indecisive, it is selfish, incensible but it is pacifist because it does not have initiative (I explain myself well?), well he point is that it lacks personality as is typical for the viewer to feel identified, haru is not very different from the protagonist she just wants to take the initiative but she is a coward and does nothing in the whole show, the series she wants us to sympathize with her but it really is difficult for her decisions,shinako is the worst character of the show, she is sentimentally unstable, she makes ridiculous decisions, she is unbearable (see a sequence?) and is impossible to sympathize with her, and lastly Rou who is the best cast character, but he fell in love from the worst character, so don't expect much.

Development
Fails in everything that is proposed, as the story is so empty, the characters make ridiculous decisions every chapter, shinako rejects the protagonist, then tries to justify, later it is an excuse and she also likes the main (?), Could it be that the characters are so complex to justify their irrational attitudes? I really doubt it, the plot never progresses, although in the following chapters new characters appear that have
only the purpose that plot can continue, they remain in the same status quo until the end, one could even say that everything is so convenient that it is ridiculous as the author was able to create more than 100 manga chapters, have seen anime with love triangle that does not fail like this, they do not make such boring, inactive and personalityless characters and that they have fewer chapters, also i have to mention that scenes and much more characters were removed than anyone cares and they were just to make time, the end it was boring,not very credible and it feels like they were never justified because rikuo and haru are happy and are together when it seems that rikuo chose haru out of pity and not because of loving her,since nobody is that insensitive with the girl you love throughout the anime,"but it does not matter I tell her that I love her and fix all my mistakes"(toxic couples don't count), haru is very inconsistent and I only accept because she is "pure" and is obsessed with him, she is one of the worst couples I have ever seen (I repeat is a great list and they are among the first), of rou and shinako we do not know what happened at the end and it doesn't really matter.

Animation and others sections
I don't like the slow direction and muted tones like if they wanted to tell a mature story with boring characters she just sins pretentiously, also the narrative is so slow and the soundtrack is so horrible, the animation is not horrible but also not remarkable, the ending is fine, but I am not convinced.

Conclusion
The truth I could continue talking about why this anime is so horrible but I guess my points were clear, this anime was very disappointing until the end, I do not recommend for anything from world.

yes, i am late to talk anime, but i consider milself a fan of kouji kumeta(creator) it is impossible for me to ignore one of his works and this one that had an adaptation of only 12 chapters of all his work is it is easier and more digestible review this than to read 100 chapter from his manga to know its end and reach same conclusion, just in case I also clarify that it is Review will be as complete as possible.

Story
This story is about Gotou Kakushi, an artist who draws an ecchi manga and tries to hide it for the sake ... of his daughter,Hime. A story of love and laughter of father and daughter, although it doesn't seem to be a plot exciting or something relevant happens, for me it doesn't feel empty or incomplete despite its simplicity for two reasons there is a time skip or an flashback (watch it as you like) and it has constant revelations for you to connect in chronological order which makes the series more enjoyable at the superficial level.

characters
kakushi and hime is simply nice to see touching interactions, as is typical of its creator the protagonist kakushi is going to exaggerate his paranoia in this particular case he not want that his daughter finds out his secret, will do everything to make you not realize and while hime very innocently she doesn't know anything, the others characters are simple in characteristics and are just a joke that's why I like not to put them all in every chapter, characters like the assistants are very few active humor more than in the type of story that is there can be no black humor so constant (like in sayonara) so I like that the creator understands the "appeal" of history(like usagi drop),humor reference to manga and how their authors feel, which is a very personal detail and the creator spoke I suppose from his previous works, the some characters as the editor is one of the most fun despite all of the above, in addition this is not normally mentioned, but it is impossible not to mention the designs that are very unique and characteristic from its creator, which is nice since one gets bored of seeing generic designs and without creativity.

development (spoiler alert)
here the truth being a story of a manga of 100 chapters I understand that it has to be summarized in certain scenes and still being touching is a detail worth admiring, but the last chapter feels very rushed as they were, I finish the budget or something like that?, which for me was a bad decision on the part of the director, since he could replace scenes from chapter 11 or 10,but they preferred to leave it like that and show everything in the last chapter that is a time skip of 7 years, revelations and an end summarized in just 23 minutes, for the rest I loved the drama, that there was no victimization of the characters due to their situation of our protagonists, the secrets are justified and it feels real because a father wants the best for his son even if I have to suffer or fight to do everything possible to protect him as much as possible it is natural, for that reason it is justified and more for being revealed start story whit hime discovered the secret of her father and at the would have ended there if it were not for to told that us Kakuchi was unconscious in the hospital and after he had amnesia, that was the real secret that was revealed.

animation and other sections
I will talk about animation and other sections, because I do not have much to say about such a simple anime in content and of something what we don't take importance, I start with that the animation does not stand out in none section, as far as direction apart than imitating some scenes from the manga not is remarkable either, otherwise the color palette It is beautiful, I like the colored background and not so detailed, especially in the clouds or the sea, while on the soundtrack The truth is that there is none that stands out or that I remember with pleasure, the opening and ending are enjoyable, beautiful and I liked them.

conclusion
for me it is a 6/10 it was the best anime of the season I enjoyed it a lot, I would even give it the 7/10 but chapter 12 I was not convinced like in the whole series, with its revelations at the last moment and that end, even so it was fine.
