Kimi to Boku. 2

Kimi to Boku 2(You and Me 2) is one of my most awaited anime of Spring 2012.. For those who havnt watched the 1st season, plz make sure you watch it and start this awesome series that revolves around 5 male friends, namely Shun, Yuuta, Yuuki, Chizuru and Kaname.

So most of yours question might be "What actually difference between Kimi to Boku and Kimi to boku 2".. Well, Il give u a straight answer-There isnt much of a difference..its Just the continuation of the 1st Season


People who are looking for action n adventure, this anime aint for you guys.. But i would gladly would recommend ... this Series to u since its one of the mesmorizing anime

Why do i like this series? Its because there are some animes that makes your day better...Feels ridiculous right? but its true.. This Series really makes your heart over whelmed with happiness at least it gives u a wide smile :D

-Story-
7/10
Not much of a story in it..Its easy to understand,fun to watch etc.. Dont think this series to be a yaoi n it will never be.
In the series they show some of the character's childhood memories.. it have bits n pieces of romance.
Even though I hate most of the slow paced anime,this is one of the few rare gems where I love the slow pace.. its better in slow pace than the normal pace..


-Art-
810

The ART is simple which fits perfectly with this series.. This art is filled good with examples of cats..Yes cats which makes u smile all the way.. These cats have traits of the characters-Shun, Yuuta, Yuuki, Chizuru and Kaname, and i always looks forward to more cat examples :D

-Character-
8/10

Each character Feels like the main character and every one of them is funny in their own ways. The main concept in this is FRIENDSHIP. Here every character is unique.
What makes this anime is the Friendship between the 5 males.. Its really fun to watch how they teases each other or help each other. Their Bonds are irreplaceable

-Enjoyment-
10/10
My enjoyment here is maximum.. i love the comedy stuffs.. its just like things from a student's daily life(well some of the students like me i guess)...


-Overall-
8/10
This anime is pretty good comedy+drama+slice of anime which truly deserves 7 and above rating.

The first season of Kimi to Boku had its flaws, but it still managed to be an enjoyable slice-of-life anime with its relaxing atmosphere and well-balanced humor. Despite the unfortunate addition of Chizuru Tachibana, the core cast still carried the show.

However, Season 2 is where everything truly falls apart.

Instead of improving the pacing or character development, the story focuses even more on Chizuru, amplifying everything that was already unbearable about him in Season 1.

His humor is still forced and unfunny.
His presence feels even more disruptive to the original character dynamics.
He goes from being just annoying to actively interfering with a relationship that was already well-established.
The ... biggest disappointment is how the anime destroys the natural chemistry between Matsuoka Shun and Satou Masaki. The connection between Shun and Masaki was one of the most heartwarming elements of the series, with a slow and natural buildup. But instead of letting it develop organically, Chizuru forcefully inserts himself into the romantic subplot, making the whole thing feel artificial and frustrating.

At this point, his presence isn't just a nuisance—it's an outright detriment to the story. Instead of bringing anything valuable to the series, he actively makes it worse.

To make matters worse, Shun's character takes a hit as well. His defining charm and subtle comedic appeal are overshadowed by unnecessary drama and the awkward romantic interference. This results in a season that feels like a downgrade in every way.

Final Verdict:
Kimi to Boku 2 had potential, but it was wasted by giving excessive focus to the worst character in the series.
If you enjoyed Season 1 but couldn't stand Chizuru, be prepared for an even worse experience here.
What could have been a relaxing and heartfelt sequel is instead a frustrating mess.
Score: 2/10 (Loses all its charm thanks to unnecessary character interference).

Recommendation: Unless you enjoy watching a disruptive character hijack the story, skip this season entirely.

I made a video: you can find it at my YouTube channel "BasementOtaku"

Video Script:
You and Me Season 2 (2/10): I know this rating might upset you so I would direct you to the video description on how to better understand my rating system. Now it is time to scamper headfirst into this spoiler filled review.

Where season one was a big pile of unresolved garbage season two of You and Me is a smaller pile of poorly resolved garbage. The animation is a tad better and there appears to be more cuts to cats than in the previous season but the tired attempts at comedy, ... toxic friendship dynamics, and painfully slow pacing are back in full force.

Little blond guy and little angry girl have some tense exchanges that lose all weight when they are left hanging in the wind to dry while nothing else of consequence is happening. Although her development later on with finally gaining some friends is nice. The twins are quarreling but don’t worry because the characters haven’t changed since childhood, and actions taken in kindergarten still help to make awful characters somehow not awful. The lunch lady plotline of shared interest between a high schooler and an older woman is interesting but ultimately goes nowhere. The little brother plotline is the most interesting but is held back by the lack of acceptance from the effeminate brother that fails to produce any meaningful dialogue past “don’t be a bad boy.” Glasses guys love troubles with his older childhood friend is the most coherent story line but it is still ultimately underwhelming, it would have been interesting to have had the problem arise earlier to see how it would have informed his character. The last episode shoots for a feeling of fear of the future which feels halfhearted and watered down as I still failed to relate to any of the characters. Lastly there is a special place in hell for whoever greenlit the ninth episode “Mix Juice,” never have I felt so bored and condescended to in an anime.

Final verdict, it sucks but at least it presented some more coherent ideas and completed them. Don’t watch it.
