What a shame. I will never understand how sequels develop amnesia, forgetting everything that made the original appealing.

I wrote a very positive review of the prequel here;

The sequel features Mari, or Butt Attack Punisher Girl Gautaman, continuing her battle against the Black Buddha cult. Unfortunately, that's about the only quality left intact.

You know how the original focused on zany characters and situations, and just tried to be funny? Well, that's gone. The enemies here are bland and they don't even attempt a joke for long portions of the run time.

What has it been replaced by? Well, for one, there is more nudity and sexual content, and now it's presented for its own sake, annoying the portion of the audience that doesn't care about poorly-animated softcore porn from 1994.

However, the largest difference is how much time is spent focusing on emotional melodrama, particularly a love triangle between Mari and Tobishima (secretly her archenemy) and the lesbian lust Mari's roommate Saori feels for her. Throughout these nauseating scenes, which occupy far more time than the fights, the anime treats itself dead seriously, and genuinely expects viewers to buy into its romances.

This, from an anime featuring tentacle rape monsters in its first few minutes, including Mari being violated by an octopus in a pose similar to Hokusai's "Dream of the Fisherman's Wife";

Since they've abandoned the humor and colorful enemies and techniques, what we're left with is a really crappy, stupid romance mixed with equally lousy softcore porn. Watch the original, but avoid this disappointing trash.
