Mixed Feelings
While this is a step up from season 1, practically all the issues season 1 has comes into play here as well. No these aren't ones you can ignore, but it has (sort of) been toned down somewhat since season 1. Oh, but the issues are still there make no mistake about it.

- The author continues to only resort to perversion/ecchi to create a "dark" world setting when they not only are sometimes irrelevant to the story, but are shoved in at the most random of times giving a sense of monotony. It is a fantasy world but we never see actual elements of such apart from the monster looking people, magic, and landscape. Where are the rest of the parties that travel? How come we don't really see any real world aspects be put here such as a group of mercenaries trying to stir up trouble?

- The author also, for some, reason made Rudeus in some portions of this season a complete idiot because he falls for the most obvious of traps, whilst still having the mind of a 40 year old? How does that happen?

- Lack of variety in soundtrack. This wasn't that big of a problem in season 1, but for some reason, it's pretty apparent here.

- The constant "Rudeus is perverted" message continuously shoved in our faces; even though we clearly already know that. There is no need to constantly remind us of something we already know. Stop. People always say it's to show that he is "not a perfect human being," but that logic is stupid. Like I said in my first season review, this would be like making a war movie and out every 5 minutes or so, the main character will just shoot a civilian for no reason to try to portray the main character as deranged. Does that make it okay to convey the message? No, it gets tiresome.

All in all, this is better than season 1, but if you absolutely despised season 1, don't think this season will change your view that much.
