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.

The first season for me was good, but average. This season on the other hand really allured me with the story telling and character development. Yes its an isekai so they're going to milk certain things and that's ok. I don't understand why so many people gave it bad reviews. Can no one be happy in the creativity behind new things? Its honestly better than the other "brain rot" we've been getting this year. Most other isekais are literally a copy and paste of other ones, yet no one critiques them for it. Put some respect behind this work!

Furthermore, In my opinion this one stands ... tall above the rest in my eyes. It has a unique story/characters that make you absorbed in what they're thinking and not just overpowering everything because they're "op" (over powered). I really enjoyed this series i hope to see more from it in the future. I wanted to share more but im afraid it would spoil some details so please enjoy this anime! it was very good and i highly recommend it to those looking to be enticed by such isekais. At times i had myself thinking " i wounder what i would have done in that situation". Some parts were oddly represented, moreover i understand how isekais can be since most of them have struggled with such aspects.

Lastly, In regards to the pacing it did feel a little "pushed" at times but not enough to make me complain about it or even grab my attention to the fact. Maybe its because i haven't yet read the manga or something, to me it seemed fine. People need to realize they are bound to 12 episodes so they will do what they must. Yes it had some minor problems though it wasn't enough to ruin an experience such as this. In the end people will always find a way to look for problems instead of enjoying what's right in front of them. A wise man once said "It is not how much we have, but how much we enjoy, that makes happiness". One of the best isekais to release this year! please give it a chance.

9/10

Mixed Feelings

This season is a bit of a letdown compared to the first one. CGI is being used a lot, a lot of moments that kinda felt like filler, even tho I enjoyed them overall, I still wanted to see a bit more of progression or atleast more worldbuilding or something.

The plot continues to be generic, but with a few twists from time to time. Still easy to see what's gonna happen inside the action, which sometime was frustrating because I was right and I didn't want to be... well, sometimes I was wrong, but those things I was wrong about would have really been a ... big turn off for me. Most of the action is at the end of the season... and there seems to be a lack of budget. A really big lack of budget. A lot of moments suffered from that...

The conflicts are starting to shape up more and get more complex, alas not enough time to show them at least, I still have quite a few questions, more than when I started and had from season 1...

The MC goes strong with his default mode most of the time. Certain decisions are not explained very well, or I didn't really understand from their talks (the translation was kinda bugging me on this one, because even with my limited knowledge of Japanese I knew they were translating wrong certain parts and those changes can make a big impact). Quite a few good perfect moments. There aren't that many new characters, but the plays between them start to get interesting.

Story: 7 -- A bit too much nothing at the beginning, or it felt a bit like that to me. Still enjoyable overall, if you don't think too much of it.

Art: 7 -- There's only one nicely animated fight in this whole anime... the rest are pretty bad.

Music: 7 -- Nothing stuck out to me... gotta love the very energetic song that comes right when the episode finishes like something big is gonna happen, but nothing happens...

Characters: 8 -- Same characters mostly, but they progress and evolve a bit

Enjoyment: 7 -- Overall, I enjoyed it, but not as much as season 1...

Overall: 7

Right now it has 6.87 from 46.824 votes Ranked #4992 Popularity #1525 Members 165,421 as of 17/02/2025.
I would only recommend it if you're curious about the direction of the story and where did out MC end and what is he up to. It is still a feels good, going nice and everything is gonna end good type of story, with generic plot lines and perfect moments, so if you want to see something like that, then this one is gonna be a goodish one. Just be aware that the quality compared to season 1 is a quite a bit worse... Hopefully season 3 will make up for it. It did make me feel like I should go read the light novels because it feels like the anime is taking off a bit too much from the source material (I cannot say for sure, as I am an anime only watcher right now), but I will wait for the light novel to finish first.

I'm admittedly not a big fan of isekai. In my opinion, a handful of shows did the concept justice, and the past decade or so of attempting to emulate their success has been a fruitless effort.

Season one of Spirit chronicles, however flawed, had a decent enough premise, as to bring forward something enjoyable, that stood out in the sea of isekai, without being ridden with gimmicks. It got me invested , and I was looking forward to a second season.

The TLDR in case you don't want to read my full list of issues:
It committed the biggest sins of writing: ignoring obvious story beats, without ... replacing them with plot twists or subversion of any kind; having anticipation be left unanswered; making the protagonist boring; making the villain boring.

Season one did the following really well:
-Setting up exposition
-Making us like the protagonist, and get invested in his journey
-Had a good mix of intriguing antagonist, as well as caricature villains the audience cold love to hate
-Paced the culmination in an enjoyable way

Season two, however, failed at all of the same points:
-The exposition suffered from poor pacing, which made getting attached to the new characters hard
-The protagonist was watered down this season, and repeatedly failed at rewarding the audience, due to not landing some potentially great emotional beats
-The intrigue of the mysterious antagonist was lost. The returning snobs we loved to hate weren't handled well, losing the charm of watching them get their eventual comeuppance.
-The "new" villain, who was set up for a very exciting and emotional battle, got overshadowed by poor animation, dialogue pacing, hindered further by the way the protagonist was portrayed this season. So, there was no exciting finale to this season, despite great potential.

The story touched upon only one thread from the previous season, and did not let the characters properly address their feelings and talk about the biggest, most exciting event from the finale of the previous season.
