Honzuki no gekokudžó: Šišo ni naru tame ni wa šudan o erande iraremasen - Season 2

Season two roughly follows the same formula as the first season, only this time the greatest enemy ceases to be a mysterious, life-threatening disease and becomes the fight against social injustices. It is no longer so much about new minor inventions, it is more about trying to restructure certain sectors of their local church, convincing others of the main protagonist’s value to society, and fighting social injustice on many fronts. Sure, the subject matter is interesting and comes on quite strong at times, but the show has lost a bit of the lightness and relaxing vibe that I thought made the first season so enjoyable. It is not that noticeable a difference, yet you can feel the difference is there. It is still a very enjoyable show with lots of endearing characters (old and new), and my personal favorite was the main priest Ferdinand (as well as the adorable main female protagonist). I guess it is like comparing the two openings for me - I found the one for the first season just wonderful, and the one for the second season is very similar (it is even sung by the same singer), however, it just does not feel as good, while still great, however, it just feels a bit watered down... Still, the second season gets 8/10 and I am really looking forward to the next one. (2020.10.16)
