Ill give you props for trying to earn brownie points for this line...
April 1 2022. Its April Fools Day in Japan and were all rolling our eyes at the 82392nd joke about No Game No Life Season 2 being announced and Im sure many were also thinking the Masamunekun sequel was also fake. Turns out they trolled us hard and here we are with Season 2 of the dumpster fire that is Masamunekuns Revenge. I hated Season 1 a lot because I thought it could be good but it just ruined every possible good or heartfelt emotional moment with some stupidity. Season 2 has these problems as well but it turned out to be more entertaining this time around due to the numerous twists that this anime throws at you. Feelings change and the plot actually progressed quite a lot and while the road was pretty rocky it got some enjoyment out of me and Ill honestly take that over Season 1 any day.
Revenge is still the theme of the this season at least at first. I never really liked the revenge aspect of this anime because it was pretty obvious that Masamune was never really going to get revenge and would probably end up falling in love with Aki anyway. I do like how Season 2 explores these feelings as well as the motives and feelings of the other characters as well. This season is a bit more than just revenge it does have some drama. Is it good drama? Yes and no but the twists were what kept me going in this season.
Animation wise it didnt look all that great at points with off model faces and goofy eyes and all that but it was pretty standard for the most part a slight downgrade from Season 1 but still acceptable.
As with many romance shows of this nature the main couple was frustrating to watch though there were some cute moments mixed in there. If only they actually communicated with each other am I right? Or am I asking for too much from a romance anime? Yoshino the maid had the best moments in my opinion just like in Season 1. She honestly carries the show and possibly redeems it from being utter garbage. The other characters dont have huge roles apart from the villain and they have their respective moments to shine but they turned out to be forgettable.
In the end is the story good? No. Did I hate it though? No. Why didnt I hate it? I dont really know. I was overall pleasantly surprised that I somewhat enjoyed this season despite hating the first season and was surprised at some of the developments this season. If you enjoyed the first season youll probably have a similar level of enjoyment to the first season most likely. In the end should this have stayed an April Fools joke? You tell me.
