Coming off the hedges of the reboot in 2019, I knew that this reboot which aims to be more faithful to the LN that it was based upon will be average, and guess what? Though the original 1998 Orphen is good on its own right, Season 1 is largely that boring and uninteresting (except that I love the OST there).

Come forward a year or 2, and we get the continuation of Orphen, conspicuously titled Kinluck-hen, or the Kimluck Church arc. This promises to be one of the better arcs in the LN, and Season 2 here is entirely dedicated to the long arc. Though back then trying to read this super long arc is a pain, at least give some credits to Studio Deen and the staff team for adapting this part that has somewhat of a right length of content...though I don't really care much for the plot as its lore was of some heavy exposition that only a minority will care about. I know I'm definitely not one of them.

Otherwise, everything here is just the same as Season 1, no changes whatsoever, except with a new OST that sounds fine. Once again, both Shoutarou Morikubo and Mai Fuchigami aces somewhat with the new OST, though I find that I jig better with Season 1's OST. A nitpick, but this is plenty fine.

A better showing than Season 1 overall, but to me, it hinges a lot like 1999's Orphen: Revenge that as decent as it could be.
