Mixed Feelings
To have a sequel for this anime is definitely a dream come true for those who love it. Back in 2017, I was an entire newbie as an anime watcher but a Naruto die-hard fan. Masamune kun no Revenge is on my list of anime that I really wish to have another season of, as the concept of the story is remarkable, and I would never have thought I would be writing a review for the second season of it after 6 years.


Although I can barely remember what happened in the first season, the MC, Makabe Masamune, left no stone unturned in seeking revenge, and to achieve that, the girl who used to be his childhood friend and had turned into a tsundere must fall in love with him in the first place without recognising him. Just the background story of the main characters is enough to make the show unprecedented. However, more kinds of unpredictable settings came along along the way, and you can only feel surprised following the plot.

Frankly, the anime isn’t disappointing, and I think it makes a brilliant comeback. The start of the second season is merely amazing, as it continues to break my cognition of the show in the second season. As I am not a manga reader, the story is quite surprising to me once the truth behind the misconception within the love triangle (Koiwai, Masamune, and Adagaki) has been revealed. My perspective towards Adagaki and Koiwai has totally reversed since the misconception was exposed, and I am now totally on Adagaki’s side, whereas initially I was not.

Talking about the plot from an overall viewpoint, the pace of season 2 might seem to be rushed, or some cuts of the story might jump up out of nowhere. Anyway, I do enjoy all the absurd yet astounding plot twists and outcomes of every episode. It’s been a good time to see such a rom-com with entertaining drama.

Other than the plot, the adaptation of animation and visuals has been done so well that it doesn’t really influence me , what i mean is that it's still within my acceptable range and I did not expect for once that this animation would be completely spotless at all. In this case, the uniformity of animation is slightly slacked off. However, the story and OST has its own special vibes that live up to its role in making the anime memorable.

Last but not least, the successful adaptation of the second season without broken animation is really a blessing, and I have got to say it’s a decent moment in the ACG community. Although the original source has not ended yet, the full stop is put in the right spot in season 2. We would be lucky if there will be a season 3 by any chance in the future. Whatever it is, season 2 has been thrilling. Words can't describe how grateful I am to those who made this happen after years, and hopefully we can get more sequels for other old anime that people have been longing for.
