"The Daily Life of the Immortal King Season 2" is an anime that can be a hit or miss for most viewers. The show's strengths lie in its visual aesthetics and originality, while its weaknesses are its audio design and writing structure. Overall, it is a fun and enjoyable show that may not satisfy everyone's taste.

Writing Structure - 0.49/0.80
The writing structure of the show is a bit lacking. While the story depth and plot complexity are average, the pacing and character development could be improved. The show tends to rush through its story, leaving little room for character development or building up to emotional moments. ... However, the writing quality and dialogue are decent with it seemingly comedic moments, which helps make up for some of these flaws.

Visual Aesthetics - 1.93/2.40
The visual aesthetics are undoubtedly the highlight of the show. The art style is gorgeous, and the animation is consistent throughout the series. However, it does not offer anything outstanding. You could say the show's use of color is also impressive and adds to the overall appeal of the anime. The visuals also support the story well, as the animation and direction quality enhance the action scenes.

Audio Design - 0.83/1.60
On the other hand, the audio design of the show is not as strong. While the music quality is good, the sound effects and voice acting quality are average. There is also little use of music to fit the tone and mood of the show, which makes some of the emotional moments less impactful. The sound design could be improved to contribute better to the mood and atmosphere of the anime. When it comes to the voice acting, the voice acting in the dubbed version can be unbearable at times, which affects the overall viewing experience. Hence, the audio rating should be lower than the visuals though one could say there is an improvement over the previous season's utter lack of emotion in the voice acting.

Emotional Engagement - 0.41/0.72
The emotional engagement in the show is decent, but it could be better. The series does not offer much in terms of complex themes or emotions. Still, it makes up for it with its simple yet engaging story that keeps the audience hooked throughout the series. This simple yet engaging storyline adds to the emotional engagement aspect of the show.

Enjoyment - 1.15/1.50
Viewer's are likely to find an enjoyable and satisfying show with this one. The show balanced its elements well and introduced entertaining elements that made the show engaging. Additionally, the ending was satisfying, which is important for viewers. What people are to look for most in this one are the last few shows of the season which makes everything worthwhile in the long run of watching the show.

Genre Convention - 0.34/0.50
The show's adherence to genre conventions is average. While it is faithful to the genre, it lacks creative deviation from the genre, subversion of genre tropes, and effective use of genre-specific elements. The handling of character archetypes is good, but there is room for improvement in introducing fresh elements.

Originality - 1.30/1.68
In terms of originality, the show has some strengths. It is unique and innovative, experimenting with new techniques and handling of genre conventions. It also introduces new concepts and ideas, standing out in the genre. However, it does not break away from clichés and tropes as much as it could, and the handling of complex themes could be improved.

Cultural Significance - 0.22/0.36
Finally, the show's cultural significance is low. Though one notable aspect of the show is its potential to introduce the Chinese anime industry as a formidable industry. Although the cultural significance of the series may not be apparent now, it has the potential to contribute to the growth of the Chinese anime industry.

Overall, "The Daily Life of the Immortal King Season 2" is a decent show that offers a fun and engaging storyline. While it may not be groundbreaking in any aspect, it does offer a unique take on the fantasy genre conventions and is worth watching for its fun factor alone.

As a person that keeps up-to-date on tech, I have to give mad respect for the real obscure joke that made me burst out laughing. If you know you know.

I have to say that I believe that the show builds upon what worked best in the first season and throughout what didn't, which is the absolutely great comedy and unique world and ridding itself of cliches regarding the MC and main love interest.

The main strong points of the show are the complex conundrums that come about from being so powerful he literally can't use it, and the world of cultivation that the story is based ... in. I'm happy to say that the scenarios that play out become more interesting while the world itself is built upon and foreshadowed surprisingly well with small aspects like news in the background adding up to being relevant to a later event.

The animation budget getting a bump and the audio actually being upped in gain was very much appreciated.

I have to say though that at times it felt rushed and didn't build up certain characters as well, even though it does affect the overall pacing, I didn't mind much.

It's a solid 8 and an above in my books, great fun to watch unless you're really not into overarching stories with a more episodic story style.

Mixed Feelings

A rare instance where the show get's better in the second season. I think that the story got a little stale this season and there wasn't much in terms of character development. That's the big downside over season 1, the freshness. Other than that the animation is much more consistent across the board, and is up to industry standard. However, it seems like this may have come at the cost of having one huge flashy scene like in season 1. The OP/ED go hard, even if the soundtrack is almost identical to season 1. New girl VA suck, but otherwise the VA is still kind ... of alright, aka decent for a dub. Overall, a better more finely tuned anime, but still clunky like most anime. 6.40/10 dubbed
