Peter Grill to Kenja no Jikan: Super Extra

The most powerful man on the earth has come back in an incredible sequel.

Peter Grill and the Philosopher's Time is one of my favorite animes and, without a doubt, a masterpiece of the Ecchi and Comedy genre.

The value of this story is based on the moral dilemma of the protagonist in which he must select between what he must do, what he wants, and what he desires. For this second season, Peter Girlll looks more decided to do what he must do. But, simultaneously, the temptations will touch new levels, putting our protagonist into complications.

All in this anime is good. The story, the music, the ... animation, the sounds: Everything.

Something to highlight is the brilliant dialogue of this sequel.

The best way to differentiate between a simple and average harem story and an excellent ecchi one is in the characters' personalities. In Peter Grill and the Philosopher's Time: Super Extra, the girls' deep personalities can be found in their brilliant dialogues.

In this story, you will find the most intelligent and deep personality girls that you will find in any harem story (in my opinion, only Queens Blade, The Testament of Sister New Devil, KissXSis, and High School DxD have the same level). It is a pleasure to see how each girl is different and far from any classic stereotype.

Intelligent Commedia, great characters, and a story based on a profound moral dilemma... how much more could you ask?

I only desire that you can enjoy this masterpiece of Ecchi Anime.

When something needs the oomph factor, there's always a word to describe it: Extra. But when it concerns a show that's just as trash it is enjoyable, you need a Super treatment. That how you get S Ex: Super Extra. That's a clever way to describe the sequel of a show where, come to think of it, I actually enjoyed more than I did remember it was before.

It's of no surprise that Peter Grill is back with his sexual misadventures since Season 1 back in Summer 2020 being the all-knowing ecchi, NTR trash show that it is, that despite my disdain for the show when ... it initially came out, I eventually came to appreciate it for its over-the-top sexual humour. And being the strongest warrior in a sea of women while being devoted to the love of his life, it was a journey of rough seas and lots of off-screen penetration and loss of virginities, and Peter Grill is the running gag of emotions broken each and every time he "devours" a girl, no matter the race. And Season 2 follows up on the same regard being a continuation of the strongest warrior's claim to eventually win over Luvellia through her preposterous father being a sick joke, testing him in all ways to ensure that he gives up the marriage proposal with his daughter.

As much as I would want to like the sequel, it was sadly a step down from what I could expect much more of mangaka Daisuke Hiyama's series, being so repetitive of the "man gets women" formula that's the staple of the manga, and now the anime. Let me put it bluntly: there just wasn't the amount of effort put into this, despite the staff team remaining virtually the same, and involving a secondary studio in the form of the Hentai studio Seven. This was more muted when compared to WolfsBane's lone efforts in the prequel, and even then, the same recurring jokes and pleasantries honestly just gets stale over time to the point of boredom. I understand why there're the minority of fans for this show, but for the life of me, I suffered more than I enjoyed getting the same amount of enjoyment as I've had in Season 1.

The production is definitely a step-down involving studio Seven being the 3rd-rate Hentai studio we all know and hate, and the OST is absolute ass. Not to flounder on Vtuber Isekaijoucho, but her OP song, while it does sound nice, it does not fit into the show's themes at all, nadda. I would've taken Yui Ninomiya's Season 1 OP ANY DAY being a more engaging song than this. It's so weird and astonishing at the same time when things are chosen at random. At least Hilcrhyme's ED is a lot better this time, and rhythmically fits into the series like an already die-cast mould.

Even with the uncensored version, this still kinda rubs me the wrong way. Great if you enjoyed it, but to me, Season 1 is still miles better.

tl;dr: A sequel season that’s unfortunately pretty much exactly like it’s prequel.

I wasn’t all that fond of the first season of Peter Grill, so the only reason I ended up watching this second season was morbidly curiosity in this trainwreck. To some degree I suppose I was hoping that this season would be better. That there had to be some reason that a second season was made despite negative reception to the first. Unfortunately, these hopes came to naught. This season is just as bad as the first, and the only reason it scored better than the first is that those with sense seemed to ... have dropped it.

Just like with the first season, this is a series of 12 half length episodes centered around how despite wanting to remain loyal to his fiancé, Peter Grill is unable to resist the charms of those that are fiercely pursuing him with the goal of siring children with the strongest man alive. There’s really not that much more to the show. There are three new girls added into the mix, but the dynamic is exactly the same as last time. The comedy is also very similar, being primarily sexual humor with the majority of it being centered around how lustful the girls are and how pathetic Peter is in response. The little plot there is is so generic and half assed it’s not really worth discussing. I suppose the season ends on a pretty positive note, but it’s clear that it’s one that isn’t going to stick so it’s hard to be all that satisfied with it.

The art and animation are not very good. There are some good character designs, but this season there are some really awful ones too. As such, this really isn’t an anime I would watch for the ecchi which is really the only thing it could have going for it. The OP and ED were decent enough in terms of songs and visuals. The same artist as the first season does the ED, though the song isn’t as bizarrely good as the first season. The soundtrack isn’t really worth mentioning.
