In the beginning I have to thank to my long travelling time to-and-fro in between my place and my uni so that I could finish Nisekoi, 2 seasons along with the OVAs, inside the bus. I hope that the passengers wouldn't consider me as a weirdo or whatever because Nisekoi isn't something that you can watch in public (especially during certain scenes, welp)
Story: 5
Nisekoi: continues whatever left behind in Nisekoi... or not. There are only very few episodes about the main plot, while the rest are "technically" fillers. As I mentioned in my review about the first season, I never read its manga so I didn't know anything about the second season. Since the studio decides to follow the manga plot, you can hardly blame anyone for this.
Rather than calling Nisekoi: a second season, it's more like a visual novel, with Raku as the main character entering different characters' routes and helps solving their problems.
Breakdown for each episode:
EP1: Chitoge
EP2: Tsugumi
EP3,4: Chitoge
EP5: Marika
EP6: All of them
EP7: Kosaki's little sister, Haru
EP8: First half filler, second half Haru
EP9: First half filler, second half Kosaki and Haru
EP10: Shu and maybe... Ruri
EP11: Kosaki
EP12: Chitoge
Pretty much summarising "second season".
Art: 8
Still very good compared to the first season, so it remains as 8.
Sound: 7
Well, I don't really like the OP as compared to that of first season. EDs are again performed by VA and OST is just "meh" for me.
Character: 5
Aside from characters from the first season, we have new characters joining second season, but does that mean good? No.
Unfortunately, most of the old characters show little to no development in the second season. We have new character, Haru, who is a protective little sister who tries to keep her sister (Kosaki) as far away as possible from Raku due to a lot of misunderstandings. Eventually, it seems like she joins the "harem" group as well. We also have another new character called Paula, who appears as a rival of Tsugumi, but there's zero development about her.
The only thing that I am surprised of, is during Shu's route, ended with Ruri's VA singing the ED. (For a moment I was expecting Shu's VA singing the ED lol)
So, Shu x Ruri confirmed? :P
Enjoyment: 7
Well, there are still a lot of funny moments throughout the series though I have to admit that the cliches are being overused.
Overall: 6
If you have some time, Nisekoi is okay as a whole, but don't raise your hopes too high when you watch its sequel. Otherwise, be prepared to get disappointed (like me).
In short, Nisekoi: doesn't have an ending (in anime) yet so I am guessing there will be a third season... no idea. If you wish to know how the story goes, read the manga (which is not going to happen, for me)
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
As for the OVAs....
if (your interest = fan service)
watch it;
else
don't watch it;
Needless to say, I watched them and oh gawd the amount of fan service... (insert your own imagination here).
Phew, a long review eh.
