Seirei Gensouki 2

Seirei Gensouki is back, with the Harem King himself, Kirito-kun.

As an Isekai, I believe Seirei Gensouki is able to separate itself from its peers in the average bracket, I give it a 7, but not an average kind of 7, more like an enjoyable 7. I would say this 7, is a 7 you can enjoy every week as a good anime to follow up on, not really a ReZero that keeps you at the edge of your chair every episode, but a good vibe anime with some quality in the writing.

First, let's address the elephant in the room, this is a Harem. I personally ... dislike this kind of anime and find it time-wasting and annoying having all those 20 girls taking precious episode time blushing or thirsting over MC because he can breath and walk around. But hey, that's Kirito-kun so it was unavoidable, that's basically a Nen ability at that point.

There are several things I like about this anime. First, it takes an interesting look at Isekai. There are two types of Isekai, one where the MC gets teleported to the world, and one where the MC gets reincarnated into the world. And for the later, I always wondered what happens to the character that already lived in the world ? Seirei Gensouki tries to answer that question by having a duality between Rio, who is the Isekai character, and Haruto, the japanese person who got reincarnated. I think it's a very interesting take on Isekai, with all the clones roaming around nowadays.

Second, the pace is pretty good. The first season spent all its time to get us invested in Rio, with only glimpses of Haruto's character building and ended up on a cliffhanger with Haruto's classmates getting transported to the same world. I think it's really a good move that gives everything it needs for this season 2 to be good. As you followed the life of Rio, he is the MC for you, but this season it gets impacted by Haruto's life. I believe that's a great setup for character and world building, when other Isekai would just throw several character in the other world and it ends up just being the life of Japan but in another world. Here, you are actually invested into the Isekai world because Rio lived in it for a whole season alone, without anybody from Haruto's life.

And finally, third point, I like Rio's character building. He's kind but has a coldness to him, as he lives for vengeance. Not quite a dark sasuke, who will isolate himself and have dark monologs about vengeance and stuff. Rio knows how to live for his new found family and be someone you can count on, but he still has a step back and is focused mainly on getting revenge anyway, that's his drive. I think it's very realistic and much more colder than someone constantly dramatizing their own situation like they are the saddest person in the world.

So yeah, not a great anime, but a good one and a good watch.

*This is only a critique, portion of it to give one an idea on whether go and watched/liked this anime or anything. You can disagree with me, but if you are unsure or do not like it to give this a chance. I think you won’t regret it! *

Seirei Gensouki is back with Season 2 and it's not just storyline that we get used to in the Isekai, our people are waiting forward even more new turning of events. Again, we meet a powerful main character as he scours the incredible adventure-filled magical land while hashing out some dirty little secrets from his past. Despite ... its many clichés, however, the anime does an awful lot to keep you hooked thanks to some lush storytelling and strong sense of movement.

I proudly score this anime a 10/10 for the simplicity of what is such an awesome story. How do the parts go with one another supports your overall easy day view of a film that's not particularly hard to follow. The story works in a way that can satisfy not only new viewers but also anime fans of old.

Display wise, this season is fine and adequate art-qualities ( particularly in character expressions) with decent animation. The sound design needs to be more captivating as the music (background) doesnt always set for tension. Similarly the character development is a little disjointed too. There are characters that stand out, and others seem like they needed more attention to fully flesh them out.

Probably the most intriguing aspect of this season is its hints at digging into events in Main's past, long shrouded in mystery. The story keeps moving forward and the stakes get higher, mysteries deepen further with more rising action. If you cherish the first season for its thriller adventures combined with emotional instances, then be ready not to miss out on what is happening now.

Overall, Seirei Gensouki 2nd Season offers a pack of laughter and tears both litigating its fans. This season has something for everyone, whether you are an isekai fan or not and there is nothing like a good anime to sink into!

The Double voice while talking would have been fine for a few Minutes in the first episode. but after that it has just gotten very annoying. and it pulls away from the show. Makes it very hard to concentrate on what's being said in the show because it's being overlaid as they are talking. It is a very dumb decision, but. the directors and animators of this enemy to use the dual audio for more than the first few minutes of it being shown that it's being translated. Whoever's idea it was to overlay the voice acting. multiple times needs to be fired and read. ... and rethink what the fuck they're doing.
