Tower of Druaga - the Sword of Uruk is the second season of the Tower of Druage series and continues where the first season ended.


The story begins six months after their fight against Druaga and the betrayal of Neeba and Kaaya. If you could say that the story in the first season wasn't very innovative , the story in the second season is even worse. It's so predictable that from the beginnig I already knew what was going to happen . As you probably guess , Jill and the rest of his friends are going to try to get to the Mythical Tower and see what happened to Neeba and Kaaya . And to get there they'll need a help of a small girl called Kai , who looks like Kaaya, only in small "format" :D. Also , many things happened in the last six months. King Gilgamesh became more cruel and didn't reward the climbers for killing Druaga. Instead he took all the glory for himself. Jill's party borke up . Kelb quit the army. Etc. Together with the small girl , the survivals of Neeba and Jill's party formed one party and started , again, their journey to the top of the tower , and in the same time , trying to escape from Uruk's army, led by Uragon and the new enemy party, lead by Gremica , a distant relative of Neeba.


In this sequel , some of the supporting characters from the first season , such as Fatina and Utu gained more airing time , but also some new characters appeared , like Henaro (who will join their party) , but also some new enemies , like Gremica and Uragon. As the story goes , you will find out Kaaya's and Neeba's reason for betraying their comrades , but also the goal from the new character in their party , Henaro.
Similar to the first season , the story will follow their journey (Jil's , Uragon, Neeba's and Gremica parties) to the top floor of the Mythical Tower . Unfortunately, there won't be many varieties of enemies , and it'll be focused on the fight between the parties and some other "guests" from the four boxes that Pazuz opened in the first season.


Jil is still the naive kind of guy who believes everything he's told and he forgives everyone no matter what they have done to him. There is a well known saying : "Fool me once, shame on you , fool me twice , shame of me". In his case , he has been fooled and betrayed by almost everyone , so I really don't know whom should he blame :D . But what's even worse he always find some way to forgive them.....
It's not related to the story , but I noticed that Kai has a very weird habit . She likes to stick the spoon in other people's butts (this is not a joke). Very weird . I guess it was meant to be fun , although I didn't found it fun at all .......
The other members of Jil's party are more normal , and not so naive as Jil , but since their goal is already known , there won't be many flashbacks on their past. Instead it'll focus more on the present and their fights against the enemy.


The animation is the same as in the first season , in other way , average. The music themes are almost the same , so U might get a bit bored from hearing the same melodies over and over again.


Finally, this anime deserves 7/10 . The main reason for that is that it was very predictable and from the beginning you knew what would happen . The other reason was the naivety of Jil , which really annoyed me . He got betrayed several times, but still he never learned anything from it , and got betrayed again and again. And what's worse , he easily forgave the people that betrayed him. Also , the fight's weren't so interesting as the ones in the first season . Although it has many flaws and it's predictable , you won't get bored by watching it . Especially if you like this kind of genre .
