Now the nature of the series is very fast paced on the sense that the dialogs between the chracters as well as the narration that happens sometimes are fast (not so much like the first season at least i feel that way), on simple surface might seems like all fun though just like with tatami galaxy there are many serious and reflexive themes along the series on this instance being the premise revolving around time travel touching things like destiny or freewill like many others series that play with these themes yet like any others work of masaaki yuasa has this own unique take and approaching on it which makes for something really distinctive and fun experience. Im aware that on this instance the director is a complelty different person and that only natsume shing who was involved on the previous season is present but still hold the same elements, pacing and overall values that make so recognizable yuasa works.
This is supposedly to be a secuel (or at least that is how is categorize on MAL) and although might be true to some degree it is too that feels like an more standalone work and is because doesnt really follows an choronological manner so much like others series sure we can learn a little more about ozu and his relationship with watashi or akashi itselft but right from the beggining stars off like his own thing which besides the apparition of the same sacondary characters leaves little to place it like an direct continuation from the previous season.
This makes it on my opinion something possible to watch and enjoy without having knowledge of the previous one for anyone interested, its an kinda short season with only 6 episodes that last until all the time travel thing is done.
The op was kinda meh but the end is such a gem i love it, the soundtrack just like with the first season have so many cclasical pieces and are used so well to support some dialogs and moments.
RESUME
The Tatami Time Machine Blues is a crazy experience about time travel that although is categorize like an secuel due to his nature rather more independent doesnt make it necessary to watch previously the first season to fully enjoy this one, if you liked tatamki galaxy this one surely will be the same and for those new just give it a try im sure that at least you are gonna find some things whether be the chracters, plot , music, etc pleasing to you.
