Kyuuketsuki Sugu Shinu 2

Season 2 picks up right where Season 1 left off, introducing new characters, events, and storylines while maintaining the unexpected humor and creativity that made the first season so enjoyable. It feels more like the second half of a 24-episode series rather than a separate season, though the two-year break allowed the studio to focus on the animation, which looks crisp and well-crafted. The new characters add fresh dynamics, and their interactions help make the world feel more alive. The author’s creativity shines in the variety of gags and humor, keeping the jokes and scenarios feeling fresh rather than repetitive: watch episode 12 and you’ll ... see what I mean. Overall, the show delivers once again, and I’m really hoping for a Season 3 in the near future.

Back when I first heard that this was getting a second season I was surprised as all hell because the first one was rather lukewarm at best, many of the jokes were either hit or miss and now that I've picked up the manga it really shows how many of the jokes have bad timing. However it still has lots of manservice, so I will forgive it. Micro bikini is a blessing.

Anyhow it's not that much different from the first season, the same typical set ups with occasional new characters as well as old character that didn't get to shine until now.

Fetish pleasing wise ... it's also the same, there are two age regressing episodes (my fetish) and Ronaldo's sweaty, hairy, snowy pits are as present as ever. There's also a bigger focus on the sideline vampires, with the pervert vamps huddling up and becoming "brothers" which may or may not tickle your fancy depending on if you're fine with NBR.

The new characters are fine for the most part, Mikazuki feels pretty one note and the brown haired guy was just Handa without the Ronaldo obsession part. Sanzu is cute tho, and while I'm not certain it seemed the animation team really liked her too as her scenes look of higher quality.

Should you watch Kyuuketsuki Sugu Shinu and it's second season? Eh, the comedy is not great but the characters are funny. If you enjoy homoerotic-esque scenes it will scratch that itch.

Honestly, it’s a very lackluster season. It has both some of the best and worst episodes of the series, but the worst episodes outweigh the best in terms of how strong the impression they leave.

In particular, I think that this season is overly reliant on shock factor for its humor. Some episodes feel like the author was sticking in random fetishes just to make the plot more shocking. In the same way, I feel like the author really overdid nudity related jokes this time around. The second age regression episode in particular left a bad taste in my mouth.

While I enjoyed the return of the ... core cast of vampires, I feel like this season failed to create worthwhile long term additions to it, with one possible exception that I can’t describe further due to the character in question being too important to reveal their identity. As for the human cast, the best new addition was Sanzu. Her inclusion alone is the reason why I didn't rate this season even lower.

Overall, the quality of the best moments didn’t disappoint me. It’s the quality of the weakest episodes this season that made me give this series a rating this low. This season is a sadly common example of a series becoming too reliant on shock value humor for its own good.
