Kekkai Scythes & Beyond

The second season of the series should have been the first. At least it would have made much more sense.

In the second season, we finally see more to the characters and minimal background to the world before the series suddenly ends for good. This results in 6 episodes before the end, only becoming interested in the characters. The first season was empty, it had nothing but humor. And you could hardly empathize with the characters because they were just empty shells.
Now they became not directly profound, but much more sympathetic because you learned more of their personality.

Episodes 1-10 are just single-character arcs or comedy episodes. In the end, there is a small character plot, which in my opinion was interesting, but seems completely unimportant.

[Story 3]

80% of the season simply results in humorous moments, exaggeration, and various missions of the characters in which they fight some enemy.

The last 2 episodes deal with a small story between the protagonist and his sister and the fight with a new smaller enemy that the protagonist himself has to face.

[Characters 4]

It's still a sad fact, unfortunately, but I only remembered 2 character names even though I finished watching the anime 3 days ago. The characters were really funny and I liked them in that aspect. But they just didn't have enough charisma and weight for you to remember anyone by their name.

Even though I liked that we finally got more screen time for the characters. Unfortunately, these were also just assignments where we only saw action.

[Animations 7]

Same as the first season, fluctuating between very visually appealing and relatively slightly above average.

The detail of the city and surroundings is very attractive to the eye and I really would have liked to see a lot more to this.


[Music 6]

The intro is average and close to the level of the first season.
The outro is individual, but it breaks my heart that it hasn't been more of the same.

The osts are relatively fitting and well-chosen for different scenes.


[Conclusion]

An Anime that convinces in the area of likeability and has an interesting setting. However, it can be seen as nothing more than a wacky humorous comedy. The actual plot of the series is very vague and has a mostly disappointing implementation. And since around 6 out of 26 episodes are concerned with a sub-par story, the quality suffered.
