tl;dr: A solid continuation of the lighthearted series that's similarly amusing but now has just enough plot to make you want to know how things progress.

This is a continuation of the story of Umaru that pretty much picks up exactly where the first season leaves off and continues in the exact same way. As before, there isn't really any overarching plot, but rather its the story of Umaru and her friends as well as their brothers plus a couple other characters simply living their lives, and just as before it's similarly quite amusing and enjoyable to watch. Things to note this season though that make it different from last season is that it feels like there was more progress in terms of things actually moving, in that character relations actually seemed to develop a good deal and it was nice seeing them learn more about each other and become closer friends. In terms of romantic relationships it didn't move that much, but it felt like it was getting to a point that it would get moving, which is actually a bit annoying, but I did enjoy what they did so far. It actually did set up some plot points, wherein I was really interested in what would happen when certain things were revealed to certain characters or certain characters who hadn't met before finally met. In the end none of it happened, and with the way the show is structured to be honest I have no idea whether it actually was close to happening or that's just wishful thinking, but I was surprised how interested I was in the direction things were going and not just the comedy. Though I should note that doesn't diminish any of the strengths it kept from the first season, wherein the show is still greatly light and relaxing with characters that are still adorable to watch and its still greatly amusing to watch their various skits.

The art and animation were solid and I don't mind the chibi aspect as much anymore. The OP I thought was kind of weird audio wise, but visually it was solid. ED was solid. Soundtrack was okay.
