To Your Eternity Season 2
不滅のあなたへ Season2
After seeing enough death and tragedy, the immortal Fushi secludes himself on an island, defending himself from enemy Nokkers. However, instead of attacking Fushi in isolation, Nokkers begin targeting the settlements outside of his reach in hopes of luring him out. Soon, a group known as the Guardians—led by Hisame, the descendant of the deceased warrior Hayase—finds Fushi. Inspired by how Fushi protected Janada Island from the Nokkers years ago, the Guardians have grown a considerable following and are recognized throughout the world. Initially reluctant, Fushi allows the Guardians to accompany him to the site of the Nokkers' recent attack. In their village, Fushi meets a few valuable allies, both new and old. But as the conflict with the Nokkers only leads to more loss, Fushi must find the inner strength to face his inevitable sorrow. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

This is such an out-of-the-world, completely original storyline, that I will always remain impressed with. The story revolves around Fushi - an immortal being, who learns and grows from experiences and relationships with others. Season 1 had me crying nearly episode, while in season 2, we see a more humanly-developed version of Fushi, who strives to make good friends. It was heart-warming seeing the people who care about Fushi, albeit some in a near destructive way (aka Guardians), and we get a special character (Bon) who literally is the linchpin of this season. He was able to understand and communicate with Fushi like no others could, exceptFushi's old friends in S1, and always gave him support when he needed it. Overall, this anime is just a really really good-watch, and it won't be like any other that you know

I guess it's my fault to have a pretty high expectations coming from season 1 especially after experiencing such nice stories about character like Parona, March, Gugu, and Pioran. Although some parts in season 1 have weak elements for me like The Beholder constantly explaining things everytime he appears and The Nokkers coming out of nowhere just to be a problem the characters need to deal with. But regardless I still like this series enough to see where it goes. Then going to season 2, I like at the start when it shows how depressed and struggled Fushi after having many people he cares dies before himso that he no longer wanna have interaction with other human being until he finally comes to terms with that fact and then keep moving forward. After that the story continues to deal with Nokkers problem until they introduce Bonchien. At first I thought he's weird and didn't really like him but in the long run I grow to like him as a character especially with his determination while being prosecuted by the church. Also I really like the relationship between him and Chabo. The little romance aspect with Todo is also nice (I'm a sucker for those). He's the one carrying the show until the end for me imo. But then comes the meh and the wtf moments. I still don't really like The Beholder and The Nokkers as the story element. The church politic although is pretty surface level I had hoped that would develop more to become interesting. The new introduced character didn't click with me that much except Robin I guess with the relationship with princess Alma. The story leads to the war preparation againts (again) The Nokkers although the scale is much larger than the previous one. The war continues until some important characters die including Bon sacrifice that is pretty heartbreaking for me. But then they introduce the revive mechanic near until the end, including some previous character that passed away in season 1 which is fine for a moment of nostalgia but then why should I invest about some character and care about someone death after that when they can be brought back to life that easily? And the limitations for this power mechanic seems a bit Deus ex Machina esque. For me the author could just kill a character and then bring them back to live as they like for the convenience of the story. I tried to read ahead hoping it would get better until I caught up but still it doesn't feel the same after that moment although everytime it changes to new arc it gets pretty interesting as story progress through modern times with new character involved. I don't feel like recommend it if you care about how the characters end up whether they die or not, but if you like your nostalgia aspect and wanna see the characters you like lives forever then good for you

One emotion reigned supreme for me while watching this new season and it was disappointment. Season 1 was captivating and felt like a breath of fresh air, while this one seemed like a cringey run-of-the-mill isekai. The first few episodes were an absolute mess, to put it simply. The writers seemed like they didn't know what to do with the story anymore. The plot was going nowhere and it felt like we were at a stand still wondering what's next. It only seemed like we were getting somewhere after the 8th episode. Mind you the writing was still shit, and I kept turning off mybrain whenever a conversation not about the nokkers was going on. Fushi's character "development" was the worst part of this thing, and that's saying a lot with how everything was a fucking hot mess. He went from being a symbol of humanity and life by having all the people he meets paint him each with their unique color to build him as an individual of his own, to some generic OP shonen protagonist with anger managemnt issues. Also, the way they kept forcing a fixed gender identity and/or sexuality down Fushi's throat in a very heteronormative way had my hackles rising. Worse is that the whole damn time they were trying to sound open-minded only to turn around and slap you in the face with some toxic stereotypes. Just let Fushi be however they wanna be and love whomever they wanna love, why is that so hard to understand?? Don't even get me started on how Mr. TastyPeach Gaylord isn't gay at all and the guy who had a crush on him turned out to be a girl who only got his attention after she became skinny. I'll drive my head through a fucking wall from the cringe of it all. Also what's with the show's obsession with child mothers? Hello?? It happened in season 1 with March and I was like whatever. But then Hisame appeared and then her daughter and I'm creeped out of my skin by how disgusting it all felt. And I don't wanna hear none of that period appropriate bullshit because they're in a literal fucking fantasy world that's the furthest thing away from realistic. All in all, an honest to God waste of time. I don't know whether I'll sign up for the 3rd season or not. Guess I'll wait for the reviews first before deciding to watch it or not when the time comes.

To Your Eternity is known to many for its methodical, slow-paced story of Fushi’s growth and the despair he faced throughout his life. Unfortunately, Season 1 sputtered to a conclusion following an underwhelming final arc around the events of Jananda, which was more action oriented, and less gripping overall. Season 2 of To Your Eternity literally follows in the footsteps of that arc, as it continued to sputter through quite an underwhelming story, that has lost most of its original charm of slow paced storytelling. The new characters introduced are okay at best, with some being decent, and some being downright awful. The pacing isfast, like an action story, which in my opinion, is not what To Your Eternity’s charm ever was. It felt like a bunch of ideas mashed together, and it felt like the author ran out of ideas now that Fushi is basically just a normal human being now, albeit with world-changing powers. The plot this season was quite a mess, to put it lightly. Season 1 was an emotional roller coaster, this season lacked most of those charms, and left me baffled at some of the writing decisions that potentially even took away from the emotional moments that we witnessed from Season 1. The timeskips are jarring, the pacing is zooming, and with that, I wasn’t nearly as invested. Fushi learning how to speak was interesting, but him getting every single overpowered skill known to mankind, enough to become an isekai protagonist, now that’s pushing it. With this type of shift, it’s only fitting that the entire season felt way more action oriented, and was less focused on what made Season 1 great, which was the emotional buildup and world building. Perhaps a reason why the world building felt markedly weaker this season was also a product of the animation this season, headed by Studio Drive, a lesser known studio compared to the likes of Brain’s Base. The backgrounds felt very “static”, if you catch my drift. Very watered down compared to some of the shots that Season 1 provided. Music wise, nothing to write home about either, and as much as I like “Pink Blood”, the OP, the fact that they reused it is so uninspiring. I’d much rather have heard an inferior OP to it than seeing it reused. The soundtrack was also quite forgettable. Another huge drop off was the quality of the characters, none of which elicited any emotion out of me. Fushi, being all grown up now, just does not have any meaningful qualities anymore, besides containing the numerous vessels of presumedly dead characters from Season 1. He gets all these powers, he’s like God, but this isn’t the Bible we’re reading here, so being overpowered doesn’t mean a thing to me. A new addition to the cast is Bonchien Nikolai La Tastypeach Uralys (nice name, I know), and I will admit, I liked him, and his mannerisms, but as the series went along, his energy virtually disappeared, and so did my interest in his character, who felt so useless to the story. A character that frustrated me a lot was Kahaku, a descendant of Hayase, who inherited every single creepy gene, who felt like a manipulative weirdo, trying to form Fushi’s vision of things into a way that benefits his obsession with him. The difference between Kahaku and Hayase seems to be only at a biological level, their gender. The relationships overall in this show befuddle me, because I don’t see how the sexual orientation of Kahaku matters, why let heteronormativity reign? Have some gall and just jump down the same path as Hayase did, regardless of what “gender” Fushi is assuming. Simply put, To Your Eternity has gone in a completely different direction, and it hasn’t worked out, in virtually every aspect. It feels like an anime that has lost its identity, and is trying so hard to find one, but it’s constantly stuck in a limbo of deciding whether it wants to be slow paced, fast paced, emotional, or epic. There were definitely a few enjoyable episodes here and there, and the effort was there at times, but overall, it just wasn’t all that great, inheriting all the problems that the second half of Season 1 had, and then some.

The never-ending journey of heartpangs, tears shed, vessels and companionship reels forward into the sequel season that continues like Truck-kun's worth of feels. Continuing the trend that famed mangaka Yoshitoki Oima has done with Fumetsu no Anata e a.k.a To Your Eternity, with Season 1 released 2 years prior in Spring 2021 that set the stage for this emotionally heavily invested series, it was a blast that at the time, really resonated with people, especially after coming off with KyoAni's marvellous movie adaptation of Koe no Katachi in the mid-2010s. The story about a blob and the guardian, both Fushi and the Beholder really stood bythe promise that the sole existence for Fushi ridding the world of pesky little octopus-like beings called the Nokkers, it was more than just an ordinary story, but one that was constantly filled with despair and suffering, but also hope for the future that Fushi would come to serve as the Jesus Christ of his world and save humanity from the external force that would haunt him wherever he goes. With Season 2, the anime takes an abrupt turn into township, covering the contents that would define the season overall: The Guardians, Uralis Kingdom, Bennett Church and the Renril arcs which covers Volumes 7 to 12 of the manga, officially completing the Previous Era saga of the manga up until this point. No spoilers for the next saga and arc(s) that IMO, would make or break the series, but that's a story for another time when Season 3 rolls around in the future. But for now, this is at a time where Fushi was just coming out of the Jananda Island arc after defeating the long-time foe that stuck around pretty much in most of Season 1: the yandere villainness Hayase, which to me, is a great antagonist that was abruptly killed off before her character could ever flourish, earning the ires of both manga readers and anime-onlies. Instead, we have the somewhat inferior replacement in the form of Kahaku, part of the cult-like defense unit of "the Guardians", and coincidentally the first male successor in a long line of what is supposed to be a women-only legacy. The problem with Kahaku, apart from cultivating the Knocker on his left arm that could be both a blessing and a curse, is that although he received the same education and training as the predecessors in the Guardian Force, he was the one that was shown the most disrespect, solely because he was a man and not a woman. But despite the troubles lingering around him, he is a dedicated driven, charismatic and confident young man who goes far to achieve his ancestor's goals in his own way and protects Fushi with his life, even so much as to spite trouble for those who dare to oppose the Immortal in any way possible. But remember, Fushi can turn into vessels of those he remembers, and when he specifically changed to Parona's form, to put it simply, Kahaku is just like Hayase to develop an unhealthy obsessive and obstinate infatuation on Fushi and going one step further as to force his feelings onto Fushi, despite knowing that he can take on the forms of both sexes. Still though, Kahaku can be somewhat of a confident leader, knowing that his Knocker-infused left arm would at times help Fushi locate the Nokkers moments before any semblance of attack, especially in the Renril arc where the war between Immortal and entity attempts to drive a nation to its knees. You may not like Kahaku, but he's there to help progress the story, at least in this period ot the manga where his role is pretty much stated for him as Fushi's protector, despite the cringe of the Guardian leader trying to force his ambitions onto the Immortal, knowing full well that there'll be pushbacks when he tries to act out of the ordinary. By far the most prominent person that drives the majority of Season 2, comes from the Uralis Kingdom arc, in the form of Bonchien Nicoli La Tasty Peach Uralis. The potential king of the Uralis Kingdom, Bonchien (or Bon for short) was like many other descendants, destined for the highest spot of the kingdom. But when his younger brother Torta was announced for the right to the throne as the next successor, almost suddenly, Bon has no right of power, and must find a way to prove himself as the rightful heir to the throne. Which is how He met Fushi, simply because he has an ability to see, speak and hear the dead that follows him from their afterlife but cannot touch nor ineract with them, and that's how his relationship with the Immortal essentially started to become a life-changing encounter of the cruellest kind. Initially appearing as an eccentric, if not overdramatic young man with constant mood swings, filled with emotional outbursts and tantrums when plans don't go his way, to the extreme contentious effort of disrupting people to get his point across. Despite that, he is well liked by people, getting onto the ground with the people of Uralis, even knowing his small guard of loyal knights by name and their own personal lives, Bon is truly the people's president that knows inches better than Torta on how to rule a kingdom through its people, only double-crossed by the ways of old kingdom authority to be ineligible for the position that he had fought and worked so hard for. Despite Bon's somewhat wonky personality that's like Kahaku at the very beginning of his first encounters with Fushi, he is caring person at heart and carries no grudge, even against his own family which abandoned him on the right of nobility. His flamboyant personality is a key to why he went through an enormous change throughout Season 2, from his certain degree of cunningness and self-awareness at the Bennett Church arc when the Church labels Fushi as a heretic to be burnt to death, and saving him by the skin of his teeth and losing the nobility status as a result of his actions, to the Renril arc where he finally understands the reason for Fushi fighting for his very life staving off the Nokkers and committing his very life into a full-on conribution for Fushi's character progression through the season. Love or hate him, Bonchien Nicoli La Tasty Peach Uralis is the MVP/star support character of Season 2 as a whole, and I'm glad that he stuck around to oversee Fushi's life, in sacrifice or in support as a versatile man who can think on his two feet. Not to discount the others that help Fushi get around in this seemingly trivial kingdom's euthanization of its hard-lived themes of salvation and discord, and people like Renril's Hairo, Messar, Kai; the Bennett Church's stingy lead priest Cylira; and the Doki a.k.a Earthenware People of mute girl Eko who can only converse through her claypot, all of them play a vital part in the developing Immortal's story of continual despair and hope that's the lifeblood of the series of its most essential. Instead of Brain's Base and director Masahiko Murata continuing on the production side, the sequel is handed over to studio Drive, along with the replacement director Kiyoko Sayama, whom I feel that she has been out of her element in recent times when it comes to her directorial biography, the most recent being the disappointing follow up to Amanchu! in the form of Amanchu! Advance all the way back in Spring 2018. Even though she has been more prominent in the old times with 2008's Skip Beat!, her track record nowadays stems from only being more involved in the storyboarding section of shows as recent as Ao Ashi, and I don't know about you, but I barely noticed the difference in directorialship that's thanks to returning series composer Shinzou Fujita, adapting the manga throughout its paces just as well as Season 1 did. And though the pacing is a bit fast here, it still manages to capture the essence of the manga throughout its many compositions, and that's all it matters. On the music front, while reusing Hikaru Utada's "Pink Blood" isn't wrong, it's just getting old really quick of just the song itself, updated with visual cues of Season 2's content, and yet still being the same heavy spoiler-ish type of content. Music composer Masashi Hamauzu is back for another instrumental ED, and though "Roots" doesn't hit as hard as "Meditator", it's still a good song written just for the narrative of Season 2 as a whole. Overall, I felt that the OST with Season 2 improved aesthetically, given how much of the love and suffering that Fushi and Co. has to go through this season that hits just as heavy as Season 1. Taking everything into account, Season 2 here should be better and improved upon from Season 1. But the sense of whimsicality that the prequel had, it kinda got lost in the sequel as more is engaged and done to get from Fushi's next arc point to the end of the Previous Saga with alleviating Renril out of the Nokkers' harm. That's not to say that the show is less engaging, it really still is, but feels like it's dragged on for just a bit. Still thankful that this show can be done in 20-episode seasons, and because I've heard that the manga from this point on goes downward with the Modern Day saga, that's where my dropping point will be for now with the anime. This show is still just as good, but obviously not as great as Season 1, though your mileage will vary.
