Overall:
if you are reading this, you are watching it anyway, so yeah. Do keep in mind that this is a sequel to my overlord I review.
Ah yes, a guy got Isekai into a fantasy world.... as an evil overlord. As an isekai junkie, I am set to watch all isekai. This is one of those that explore the trope. Before I actually get to the review part, I would say that this anime's isekai world is probably one of the most solid and well-thought-out. It isn't the isekai you watch to kill time, it is the one you watch to thing and enjoy the ride.
Short conclusion: 8/10
Driving deeper
Art: pretty much the same as season 1, nothing really improved or degraded.
7.5/10
Character: I'll take some short cut and say that it is the same great character as in season 1 with more extremely well-thought-out character. it just keep getting better.
9.25/10
Plot: In contrast to season 1, this season takes things a bit slower and lays out more groundwork. There's a lot of setting up in this season and so the ups and down moments are pretty tame. But this raised a lot of expectations, I am excited for next season.
7.75/10
Conclusion: a really great treat for an isekai enjoyer. mixed opinions for a normal anime enjoyer. Mainstream enjoyers can't ignore this one
8/10 for me.
I think this is a great prep season, it really gets you hooked into the world and its setting. I don't have much opinion except to say that I am excited for next season.
