Ok, so I've just ended the sequel of Saekano, and thought it might be cliche at one point it does have some development of sorts, and here'show I rate it:
Good 7, Story:
It may have it's share of cliche but, in this sequel it has a certain degree of development, where we see, the break up of the Blessing Software group, that starts when Utaha graduates and when a new girl, Izumi arrives as one girl leaves, what adds to my rating was seeing Eri leave the group and this is where Mr. Ethical starts to contemplate as he struggle to move on without the 2 most valuable members of his group, not surprising since this anime story plot revolves around a philosophy theme, that things would not always stay the same whether you like it or not.
fair 6, art:
Ok so there were some indications of them girl looking very bitchy with their school uniforms, the characters maybe the same, but don be expecting to see some of Eri's panchira moments nor see anything else that would titillate your adrenaline.
Mediocre 5, Sound:
Ok so it was the same seiyuus who did the voices of them characters, so what? I don't both like closing and opening themes.
Very Good 8 , characters:
Now that we see some development , we can't ignore the other added characters in this sequel like the antagonist Akane Kosaka who was instrumental of making both Eri and Utaha do more better, but there were times that the competitions for the Blessing Software group were annoying and overrated, but then again it does make their role good, also seeing the part where the relationship between the 2 girls and Mr.Ethical becomes more on a certain romantic degree, but it was Megumi who mad such impact in fact she is the only one who remain with Mr. Ethical all throughout despite of the fact that she just a mascot or just a model for Eri's illustrations, though I would have love to see some of that arc between her and Mr.Ethical develop into a more romantic sense. But then again being this boring girlfriend it was just enough that she has to keep him guessing so basically my score was for her alone. But it was quite unfair that Michru was push aside was given a very short supporting role, she could have added something if only original creator Misaki Kurehito did something about her character.
fair 6, Enjoyment:
Frankly, the whole nine yards of this sequel can be pretty boring at times , and there were times that just watching it can be a chore, but once I've got to the few last episode that is were my interest peaked up.
Very good 8, Overall:
Ok, so seeing the Blessing Software group break up before they can even continue making more success because of Utaha and Eri's plan to go to the other side for better challenges was disappointing , but it wasn't always that we get to see such disappointment of the part of Mr. Ethical when 2 of his most valuable assets go to the other side that has served as a rude awakening for him to let them go and move on so that he can do better, so basically that was disappointingly very good, even though both Utaha and Eri missed their train that was nothing more of a comedy gag, so don't expect an season 3 of this thing since it wouldn't be a good fit.
Pres.Thrump OUT!!!!
