When watching Eccentric family there was only one prominent feeling i had throughout the shows course, and that is the feeling of deja vu. It felt like i was watching the same show all over again only with several tweaks placed here and there to make the show a tad bit different. New characters are introduced, new conflicts are created, some subplots are added even a romantic one, and maybe tying up a loose end or two. However the story still follows many similar beats to the first season that it starts to feel repetitive, because it seems that the only time there’s any worth given to the story is near the exact same time as last season. There’s still the trick magister election, there’s still the firework festival predicament, there's still the friday fellows tanuki hot pot situation. Yet despite following the same beats, the show is more loosely written than the first season which makes sense due to how many subplots the show had to go through. It’s because of this that the story lacks a central focus until near the end when it needed to force everything to come together, and in the end was uninteresting.
As for the characters there’s not much to say. Several new characters are introduced into the show, but the show just scratches the surface on them. There’s not much character development since some of the characters went through their character arc last season, and all that’s left is to see it come to fruition which in the end was unrewarding. Everyone else mostly stayed the same, and by this point it had gotten harder to give a damn about these characters.
I’m not really going to delve into the art and sound since not much has really changed since last season, however I did find the show to be lacking in the sound department this time.
Overall the show just felt very monotonous as it took the least interesting bits of the first season, and did them all over again. For a show called eccentric family, eccentric would be the last thing i would call it.
