Similarly, Kazehaya seems to have realized he's starring in an anime and started doing all the retarded shit anime characters sometimes do, even though he'd made it a point to contradict those expectations in season 1. What happened to that? For f-'s sake, even Kurumi admitted that she didn't expect Sawako to be such a mindless sheep. What the hell? Sawako in season1 spoke her mind and, even though she was afraid, always tried her best for what she wanted to achieve and wasn't afraid to contradict other people. She's turned into the depressed, passive and utterly stupid classic anime chick who believes whoever's mouth is moving at the time. There is no sign of the backbone that she had in the first season.

Similarly, Sawako seems to have taken the same steep dive the show itself has. These sort of things are easy, cheap drama generators and would never happen in real life because in real life people are not that stupid. The sort of situations that arise only because a character took something someone said completely the wrong way, or didn't say something simple yet vital. Namely, it's the retarded misunderstandings. Total reboot of the relationship, invalidating the last several episodes of the first season and cheapening the plot overall for pointless drama.Ī lot of the things that I hate about drama anime surface on the second season, while they were absent the first. Cheap drama created by characters thinking but not actually saying what would fix an otherwise simple situation. In fact, the first 7 episodes were a total disaster. The closing song sounded better this time, too.ĭisappointing first few episodes. The music, surprisingly, fit in a bit better and actually left an impression at times rather than being nonexistent like in the first season. The animation is still very good, with some very powerful moments here and there.

Let me get some good points out of the way. The point is, I came into the second season with very, very high hopes and expectations. I was this close to giving it a 9, which for me is an amazing grade. It might be a good idea to read my review of the first season, to give you some context.Įven if you don't, the short story is that I really, really liked the first season. I came into the second season immediately after watching the first. Disclaimer: Kinda sorta spoilers, but not really.īefore you skip over this because of the low score, do me the courtesy of reading through the review, first.
