I've seen other emotional animes such as Clannad, fruits basket with the slight comedy in it as well, but since this anime was so linked to reality it made much more of an impact. Honey and clover II basically carries on from the first season so nothing changes too much, although I expected it to be a few more episodes that would tie up all loose ends and bring the anime all together but I was wrong.
So much happens during the second season that my heart ached a little to see SO much emotion, I had to watch something a bit more cheerful after watching a few episodes and right at the end. I loved it, and I'm sure other people will but please do have some tissues ready at your disposal.
p.s regarding why the rating for the art is the lowest [8] is because it really does get slightly annoying that the main heroine [Hagu-chan] looks like a 7 year old. But during the second season, there is the sense that she looks more mature and grown up which is really nice to see.
