Kyokou Suiri Season 2

(It's a step up at least) Well... after a somewhat short wait for season 2, here I am once again watching a series that I will most likely completely forget everything about within 2 months of watching. Is Kyokou Suiri bad? No, by no means is this a bad series. However, there isn't... anything special about it. The story had potential but is executed poorly, the voice acting is okay, and the characters are semi-decent. One of the few things I do like is the animation. Although considering I tend to only watch stuff from the early 2000s, I guess that's to be expected. I will say however,S2 is definitely a step in the right direction and definitely held my attention for most of the episodes. S1 was a "too much speaking" type deal. It moved extremely slowly in my opinion and the last few episodes, with all the build-up they had, felt extremely boring, and the main fight(s) against the big-booba, no-face, lady felt somewhat "dry." Although there are still cases of this in S2, there is an increase in quality/attempt to move away from this. This shows concept is quite interesting, however, its execution could have been/could be a little better. It still feels like the show hasn't embraced a certain "genre" and is still teetering on the line between five. One minute they're talking about something really dark and the next they're cracking a joke. On top of that, the story feels a little confined still. There are few "stakes" and the number of characters is still too few to make the story feel like it has a "presence" in the world they live in at the moment. There isn't anything BIG... something that I'm gonna be like "ok...ok, I like that," there isn't anything Special, which causes the series as a whole to be very forgettable. Now that it's leaning more/fully toward an investigator/detective type of anime, I guess a slower plot and lots of talking is to be expected, and maybe it's on me for expecting anything different. Considering that the same man who made Blast of Tempest made this, I guess I might have had "high expectations" for this series as a whole, however, it still feels to me like another mediocre entry into this season's roster of shows. After coming back to watch S2 to see if it was more "my taste," it wasn't. Once again this series is by no means bad, it's just really slow for my taste.

The most polarizing anime of Winter 2020 comes back to shave off too many brain cells once again, and I don't blame you if you find that this show is still an absolute nightmare to trough through. It's of clear, obvious intentionality that novelist-cum-mangaka Ryo Shirodaira's supernatural thriller mystery series is something that we all either love or hate, much aligned for its dialogue-heavy segments. And exactly 3 years later, we get another sequel, which is frankly, more of the same that covers the manga's content right after the long-winded Steel Lady Nanase arc from Volume 7 onwards, diverging into mini-arc cases that take a lifeon its own. Most depictingly: Volume 8's Electric Pinocchio Volume 9's Guillotine Sanshiro Volume 10 and 11's Sleeping Murder Volume 12 and 13's Yuki-onna Several stand-alone chapters from the boundaries between Volumes 7 to 11 But in essence, everything is the same exact copy-paste rhetoric if you've seen Season 1 exactly 3 years ago, from the characters to the setting, which basically confirms that the "One Eye, One Leg" spirit intervenor Kotoko Iwanaga and her assistant-cum-boyfriend Kuro Sakuragawa are back at it again solving "dragged-out" cases, though this time it's better drawn out because the stories here aren't as awfully long as the Steel Lady Nanase arc (which took up the majority of Season 1). The only refresh is the OST, though that frankly is forgettable at best, even with Mamoru Miyano's ED "Invincible Love" that sounds like a swag with the obvious product placement of Volume 11's manga cover spliced for an extra visual. If you still love/hate it, that's up to you. The supernatural mystery mind beckons for a big brain on this show.

This anime really had surprise me! On first season, the main plot, the chars and their grow up are so good! This story have focus on dialogs and, in my opinion, that just make what happen better!!! I loved all chars, main chars are so awesome. Also fighting moments are so good cuz the animation and careful have so many skill i think. So, battle moments are so cool BUT this anime is, mostly part, about dialogs! If u dont like that or is searching some shonen, isn't for you... Btw, I think everyone need to watch this! Even 3 episodes rules. So, enjoy yourself!!!!

It's a detective show, plain and simple. We get a brilliant detective loli, a reasonably motivated arch villain that sometimes pops up to say hello, and a passenger's seat ride into dissecting truth from falsehood in order to achieve justice. The show is best watched with this in mind. Supernatural is used as little more than spice, just to increase possible venues of deduction, and to charm a viewer with alien and unknown. That said, it is certainly better than season 1, which spent half its screen time estabilishing the world and characters, and the second half on 1 story arc of arguing on internet forum. Its anice watch and a rare sequel surpassing its predecessor, so I'd recommend seeing it if You've seen the first season and wouldn't mind more, as this is exactly that. There's more of season 1 stuff, and it's paced better.
