Revenge is still the theme of the this season, at least at first. I never really liked the revenge aspect of this anime because it was pretty obvious that Masamune was never really going to get revenge, and would probably end up falling in love with Aki anyway. I do like how Season 2 explores these feelings, as well as the motives and feelings of the other characters as well. This season is a bit more than just revenge, it does have some drama. Is it good drama? Yes and no, but the twists were what kept me going in this season.
Animation wise, it didn’t look all that great at points with off model faces and goofy eyes and all that, but it was pretty standard for the most part, a slight downgrade from Season 1, but still acceptable.
As with many romance shows of this nature, the main couple was frustrating to watch, though there were some cute moments mixed in there. If only they actually communicated with each other am I right? Or am I asking for too much from a romance anime? Yoshino, the maid, had the best moments in my opinion, just like in Season 1. She honestly carries the show, and possibly redeems it from being utter garbage. The other characters don’t have huge roles, apart from the villain, and they have their respective moments to shine, but they turned out to be forgettable.
In the end, is the story good? No. Did I hate it though? No. Why didn’t I hate it? I don’t really know. I was overall pleasantly surprised that I somewhat enjoyed this season despite hating the first season, and was surprised at some of the developments this season. If you enjoyed the first season, you’ll probably have a similar level of enjoyment to the first season, most likely. In the end, should this have stayed an April Fools’ joke? You tell me.
