Isekai Quartet 2 continues where the first season leaves off from where we get a new member to join their class being....Chomosuke..you know the cat from KonoSuba. Yeah as a little bait and switch, the cast of Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari are actually in another homeroom than them but they occasionally make cameos more or less, so in a ways, Isekai Quartet's title still seems aligned to it.
Now the Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari cast mostly Naofumi gets the homages to the series he's in while Raphtalia and Filo interacts alot more often with the core 4 cast at that too. The only problem LA sees is that because of Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari cast's bit part in this season their screentime is rather slim, you know even though their suppose to be the new cast members in all this but nonetheless good cameos all in all and another defense is that a cast filled with FIVE anime casts together and all of them trying to get equal screentime was a tightrope and a half to pull off, so LA could see why Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari got the bit part cameos more than not, still wished Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari cast got more screentime though.
Now Isekai Quartet 2 is back to their usual hijinks and cross-referencing animes with the huge amount of cast members and from that Isekai Quartet 2 pulls more from ReZero, KonoSuba, Overlord and Youjo Senki's minor cast, the biggest one being Betelgeuse from ReZero and he's mostly in the Valentines episode because...AI!.
Even with some of these small to large changes, the comedy is still up to par thankfully due to the huge roster of characters it can pull comedy from as well as referencing and alluding to animes at the same time and again seeing more cross anime character interactions is awesome to say the least.
The animation once again by Studio PuYUKAI and really once again it's the same animation style and consistency as the first season sooo not much to speak of there, good job really from Studio PuYUKAI.
The voice cast is even bigger now but incomes even more voice actors doing MULTIPLE voice roles, with once again Rie Takahashi as Megumin and Emilia, Yuusuke Kobayashi as Subaru and Warren Grantz, Yumi Uchiyama as Puck and Mare and now Asami Seto as Raphtalia and CZ Delta from Overlord. Due to this, amazing voice cast what else?
Though the Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari cast do get some form of cameo appearance is a few episodes, the BIGGEST cameo surprise was that small cameo of SEIYA and RISTARTE FROM Shinchou Yuusha: Kono Yuusha ga Ore Tsueee Kuse ni Shinchou Sugiru in Episode 11 which again was the biggest surprise in terms of cameos.
The finale shows off the the majority if not ALL the core cast all in the limelight which was great and all the while nudging to anime allusion tied to the characters that Isekai Quartet knows has been doing for 2 seasons. Overall a great finale for this season even if the result leaves it as the status quo (as it were).
Isekai Quartet 2 is all the more the same as the first season, bringing in allusions and references to the anime that the characters are in and massively blends them up in increasingly wacky ways. If your a fan of all these isekai's and wants to see them interact, then Isekai Quartet 2nd Season is a no brainer to watch, let alone this season hinting at what the greater goal of this "world" is about, all the while MOSTLY giving us comedic hijinks with these 4 now 5 isekai casts mingling with one another being the biggest draw factor to this season (though the first season did this too).
With that surprise Shinchou Yuusha: Kono Yuusha ga Ore Tsueee Kuse ni Shinchou Sugiru cameo, wonder who else might be in Isekai Quartet?...Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken cast for Isekai Quartet 3 maybe?.
