Seirei Gensouki 2

After Rio escapes the capital of the Beltrum Kingdom with his former teacher Celia Claire and his bond spirit, Aishia, he finds himself in a dire situation once again. As it turns out, multiple people from his past life in Japan are suddenly scattered around the new world. Rio rushes to their help, saving a small group and taking them under his wing. To his surprise, one of the rescuees is his old self's childhood friend Miharu Ayase.

The newcomers were not the only ones summoned. With old friends and new allies by his side, Rio sets out to locate the other abductees while searching for a way to send them back to Japan. However, Rio never loses sight of his main goal: avenging his mother's death.

So, Seirei Gensouki Season 2—honestly, it didn’t hit the same way as Season 1. The story had potential, especially with Rio reuniting with his childhood friend Miharu and diving deeper into the mysteries left hanging from the first season. But man, the pacing was all over the place. Everything felt way too rushed, and some scenes just felt… off, like they didn’t get enough time to breathe.

Now, let’s talk about the double voice thing—the fantasy language overlaying the Japanese dialogue. At first, it seemed like a cool idea, but wow, it got old fast. It became more distracting than immersive as the episodes ... went on. Not sure who thought it was a good idea to keep that going so much, but yeah, it wasn’t.

On the bright side, it wasn’t a total disaster. The plot still had some good moments, and it did reveal a few key mysteries from Season 1, which kept things somewhat interesting. It’s not "bad", but it’s not great either. Definitely a middle-of-the-road kind of season.

Would I watch a Season 3? Sure, why not? It feels like the story needs a proper redemption arc, and maybe they can bring back the magic from the first season. Give it a shot if you liked Season 1, but don’t set your expectations too high.

Mixed Feelings

I quite liked the first season, and was really looking forward to the second season, but it turned out to be quite a disappointment!

The most annoying thing is the Dub audio is mixed when talking, I know they are from two different worlds and have different languages, but it shouldn't be mixed either!
Actually, I think just 1 episode is enough to let the audience know that they speak different languages, so there's no need to use dual voices for too long.
But unfortunately it continued until episode 5, to the point where I wanted to stop watching it because it was too annoying to hear the ... double voice!
I hope this dual voice is removed for the Blue Ray version, otherwise it will be the worst history of using dual voice.
And of the many anime I've watched, this is the first time someone has used this method, and emphasized too much that they have a different language.

The next flaw in the storyline, for some scenes there are some that are made too slow! I hate the part where they always delay time!
For example, when the situation is critical in battle, these characters can still make formal conversation as if they are not in a critical situation!

The fight is relatively simple, one hit, it's over immediately, if we look back at the first season, the MC fought very bravely and epically, but not in the second season.
Especially when you see him hesitating between helping or not, instead staying silent and waiting for the others to chat, one of the scenes that wastes time and is annoying.

The addition of characters also provides additional minus points!
I don't understand why there are so many Japanese people summoned to Isekai?
Worse still, there are those who are called Heroes among them, so why did they come? Isn't the MC enough? While the strength of the Heroes here is not that much.
So having the title of Hero is not enough if you look at it from a strength perspective!

For the graphic quality, I praise this anime, it still has good quality, and nothing has been reduced from the first season.
However, from the shortcomings that I have mentioned earlier, this anime is quite disappointing, especially the unfinished ending that makes the audience curious about what happens next.
Will there be a third season?

Seirei Gensouki: Spirit Chronicles, Season 2 - What a dumpster fire of a sequel...how could this be the result of a work that despite being potentially average as it is, sink its teeth into something even worse?

Back in Summer 2021, a little show by the name of Seirei Gensouki: Spirit Chronicles came out, and despite all of its inherent flaws, I actually found that if you try to open the can of worms that is all of its cut content from the now 26-volume-long LN, there is an intriguing setup that novelist Yuri Kitayama had set up for the adaptations, let alone Season 1 itself ... which was quite the journey that I had 3 years ago reading both the LN and manga forms (though please dismiss the manga as Season 2's content is not brought there) that had the deepest riches of depth in its storywriting that was elaborately interesting, filled to the brim with potential to come when the anime got to that point.

And so it is, fast forward 3 years later to this Fall's sequel, and while the pacing tactic of the anime adaptation is still the same as the prequel, the content itself...is a whole other story that for better or for worse, was a slog to sit through thinking that the next 12-episode set would provide even more mystery to what Season 1 had perfectly set up towards, only to have it be thrown out into the garbage bin for choices that push more of its audience away from the series.

With Season 2 focusing on Volumes 4 and 6 to 8 of the LN, this part of the LN is unfortunately quite the slow burn as the plot now focuses on the 6 Wise Gods' prophecy of the Heroes being summmoned into the fantasy world. This only meant that Kirito-wannabe Rio a.k.a Haruto Amakawa's friends from Japan have joined him in the fray and not knowing what was going on, to connecting the dots between different groups of people that has or had an influence on his life, Haruto's past life, rather. Ayase Miharu, the Sendo siblings of Aki and Masato, as well as the Heroes of Hiroaki Sakata (assigned to Beltrum) and Satsuki Sumeragi (assigned to Galarc), all of which are primary people for Haruto to trace his past and link them to the present with the group of people that had similar experiences from Season 1 (i.e. Suzune Endo as Latifa), it's pretty much a Grimms' Notes version of the backstories that link everyone related towards Haruto in one way or another.

For sure this piece of the content SHOULD be interesting, but as you know that anime adaptations tend to cut a lot of content, and Season 2 is no different from its prequel, though I'd say that this portion of the story is quite straightforward to understand despite the loosening of the narrative for more down-to-earth moments that still has threats continuing thereafter to bring the wrench into Haruto's plans for the foreseeable future. This part here that Season 2 covers, is unfortunately, not the best it has to offer.

What made things worse is with the entire production itself. Back then, TMS Entertainment wasn't the finest studio around with a big budget to work with, but yet still can create works that don't falter, and are still decent at the end of the day. Even if Season 1 had production cooperation from another studio (which was the somewhat competent WAO World), it wasn't this bad, not even with its own in-house Studio 6 department that can actually churn out shows with good production cycles. Oh boy, not with Season 2 here despite having series director Osamu Yamasaki on the seat, while letting a no-name director handle the reigns for everything else, with the novelist herself having to help out in the storyboarding and series-scripting, all while the production is seriously hampered to the dozen that it bears all the marks of a cheap, low-quality animation.

If anything else, the deteriment follows with the music, as now both Aguri Oonishi's OP and Nanaka Suwa's ED are songs that you can just skip and pretend like they never exist. This is sad because Season 1's OST was virtually perfect, let alone Aguri Oonishi's Season 1 ED which was a great song, miles better than the OP that's found here. Oh, and that dual-audio voiceover language act? It's seriously jarring, and for me to say that Mushoku Tensei did leaps better than this, something's clearly wrong.

Oh, dear God, what did we ever do to deserve this blatant downgrade of a sequel? If Season 1 was already this bad, then Season 2 here is really the nail in the coffin for the series when it comes to its anime adaptation. I held out hope that for much of what the prequel was inherently bad at, there was a silver lining that could get me back to actually liking Seirei Gensouki: Spirit Chronicles again. But with how Season 2 turned out, oh boy...you're better off reading the LN instead for good measure.

Simply unbelievable...watch Season 1, avoid Season 2 and read the LN at your own pleasure.
