Sword Gai The Animation Part II

I don't usually write ratings, but I saw the top-rated ones are overly negative.

It is not SO BAD, it is basically very average. If you binge both seasons it will give some basic enjoyment. This is no masterpieace, but if you have nothing else to watch you might as well watch this, get over it, and forget.

Art is fine, CG is definitely visible but is fine, fights are ok. A lot of plot holes, confusing choices, etc, but I can't say I regretted watching this. Considering the score I expected worse.

If you like generic action anime with blood and stuff, this will digest ... fine. Fake few beers and go over it, even has some funny moments, considering stuff coming out nowadays this does deserve a second chance.

[Spoiler Warning]

Sword Gai The Animation Part II

Well not by much but the second part of this was at least the better part of the storyline. Gai is still the worst person on the planet with his personality but then that is how the show goes.

The art is exactly the same as before where it is good its good but the Busoma are just absolutely awful from start to finish.

The Sound is the same it is fair for the show but nothing special.

... Characters do develop more but we also get some confusing situations. (See toward the end).

I am glad that we get a full story with Midoriko since she was interesting.

Sayaka goes through quite a bit with some questionable situations.

Himiko is a really good character story especially with her fate being pretty good to see.

The show is better this half than the first as the story does progress. It still isn't great but it makes up for itself a bit.

The issues with it this time are as follows:

During the first segment of the second part, we have three random girls with no story introduced to which are not explained until very late in the show.

We have child marriage thrown in which is unneeded.

We also have Sayaka who is grieving effectively taken emotionally advantage of into a relationship.

We also get a Darling in the Franxx vibe from the 3 floating head bosses with an expected outcome to their fates.

It isn't until the second half of the second part that Gai actually starts to redeem himself as a person but ultimately still falls far short of being a decent person.

In the end, the show was very average but not the worst towards the end. Maybe worth a watch but not near the top of your list.

Unlike the first season which was ok, the second is just bad.

Nonsense everywhere. Plot holes. Excessive pointless characters. The plot jumps randomly from ridiculous scenes to pointless drama about pointless characters. Action scenes are just flashy and basic. Lost count of how many people were killed in the same exact way, they run to save their loved one to just be stabbed by them.

But it gets worse, there's no consistency to it, characters protected by Plot Armor don't die despite being killed over and over again, such a cheap way of creating drama. Some characters die because its just cool to have them killed. And ... the typical anime cliches of the good guys after all wanting to destroy the world... come on... the nice guy becoming the villain... can it get more cliche than this? The answer is yes, it did, I present to you, the love triangle.

The story is dreadful and the characters became almost pure archetypes cliches. At least the artwork was quite good.
