It should come as no surprise that when Kyoto Animation does something, they do it well. KyoAni outperformed all my expectations with an absolute banger first few episodes with well-choreographed scenes, amusing skits and beautiful animation that remained consistent with season one.
Normally I wouldn't be that congratulating when a studio like KyoAni produces such an amazing piece of work but they did recently recover from a tragedy...
Story 9/10
Kobayashi-san is nothing short of an absolute comedic masterpiece. It's up there with all my favourite comedic anime like Saiki Kusuo, nichijou and even One Punch Man. I have noticed thus far, however, that Kobayashi-san has become more lascivious with more fan service and sex jokes. All I can say is the anime really does know its audience. However, I do prefer if the anime makes sure to stay consistent and not flood itself with too much fan service.
Apart from the bodalicious characters, I'm there for the wholesome and hilarious plot too.
The first few episodes already goes shit crazy and throws you right into the world of Kobayashi reminding you what its all about.
All I can say is the anime is on the right track, and I am sure it will live up to my high expectations!
Art 9/10
You know, when I talk about GOOD art in anime, I'm not looking for the holy grail of beautiful art styles and choreography. I'm looking for consistency of well-animated scenes. Kobayashi-san stayed consistent with its art style throughout since season one which is very much expected of KyoAni and it certainly deserves praise.
All our favourite characters maintain their beautiful designs with our kawaii loli Kanna, devilishly hot Tohru, cute and pretty Elma and of course everyone else that is very much worthy of mention but I don't want to go on listing.
Our newest addition, Ilulu looks sick as well although I can't say I'm a big fan of oppai lolis, #FlatIsJustice.
If there's one other thing I noticed it's the blessing of jiggle physics, Kobayashi-san doesn't even try to keep it casual. If its physics you want, its the motherlode of booby wiggly jigglies you will GET!
Okay, well, its not that extreme but you get it, many booby focal points so far, its no longer a horny challenge its a fucking WAR!
Oh and lets not forget Saikawa's perfect ahegao expression.
Sound 9/10
If there's something called Good Voice Acting, this is it. The seiyuus did splendid work playing as their characters, voice and looks fit perfectly, emotions and expressions portrayed naturally, I enjoyed every moment immeasurably.
Then we have the opening sequence by fhana, it fits the anime so well as expected from the same artists that performed the opening in season one!
Also, spoiler alert, fhana made a cameo in the anime as well! That was very unexpected, I won't spoil exactly where but if you notice it, good for you!
The ending sequence reminds me of Blend S and it just as well fits the theme, fun and quirky as it should be
Character 10/10
I don't think there's much to be said here, the characters in Kobayashi-san are one of my all-time favourites. They're just so wholesome and unique not to mention super fucking hot and cute!
Kobayashi is just so simple and normal compared to everyone else I love it!
Kanna is just out of this world cute.
Tohru just is so protective and obsessed with Kobayashi, not to mention she's hot and when she shows her cute side, you just want to protecc as best as you can and give her a billion headpats as you would Kanna
Ilulu is also super cute, she's also super hot but like I said, not a big fan of oppai loli, 100% will still protect that cute face though, her personality is unique as well, she's like that mature yet not mature at all... maybe in time I can come to explain it but for now, you will just have to watch to understand
Then we have Elma, damn I didn't know Elma looks so pretty with long hair, that scene just hit me like a truck, she looks finer than ever. Really want to see her in long hair more though. Elma's personality hasn't changed much, she's still super cute and I love seeing her munch on her sweets.
Lucoa, booby dragon and Otaku dragon Faf-kun are pretty much the same, all the characters you know and love, Shota, Saikawa, Takiya are still the same ones from season one.
Overall 9/10
I am very pleased with this season thus far and I don't usually say this but I am very sure the season will continue to please and meet all my expectations.
Also, not to mention but the Original Creator Coolkyoushinja has 3 of his anime airing right now so do check them out if you like his work!
