Seijo no Maryoku wa Bannou desu Season 2

The king of Slantania has officially appointed Sei Takanashi as the Holy Saint—an omnipotent maiden summoned from another world to save the kingdom. After months of relentless fighting against monsters, Sei can finally relax and continue her study at the Medicinal Flora Research Institute. Although her relationship with Albert Hawke, the commander of the Third Order of Knights, gradually blossoms, her bachelorette status attracts unwanted attention from other men—much to Albert's dismay.

Moreover, Tenyuu—one of the many princes from the faraway Zaidera Empire—has taken an interest in Slantania and its powerful healing potions. Given that Sei's identity is a national secret, she must lay low in the royal palace until Tenyuu satisfies his curiosity at the institute and returns to his country. Despite his unimpressive appearance, the foreign prince is far from clueless. He has come to Slantania for a clear reason, and Sei's unique skills may just hold the answer to his cryptic research.

This was a very high quality show, I was seriously not expecting this. See the story is decent it's not the best, but it's enough to keep you interested, but the thing that pulls and carries this show is all the other things that every other anime misses. It's art was top notch, it didn't use trashy looking cgi for monsters and real drawn monsters and the layout of the theater at episode 10 I think was just beautiful, it was like an art piece that came to life. It's character development and character relationship was also developed really well, you could see the characters ... grow. And the writing was also really good, with whole finale. So yeah definitely a 9/10 in my book. This show is literally the epitome of the term underrated

Mixed Feelings

Although I enjoyed it, I didn’t think it was as good as the first season. I hate the way it starts out with this dramatic cliffhanger action scene that you won’t hear anything about until the latter half of the season. I found it annoying. It’s as if the writer is unsure of whether they can keep your interest so they use this ploy in the hopes that it will insure your viewership. Another thing I didn’t like about this opening is that I think it’s misleading because action isn’t the focus of the show. In fact after this the show goes back to ... its slow casual pace that it had in the first season. To me this show is more about the character interactions than anything else which is what I love about it. I’d say they focus even more on this in the second season, In particular, the focus on the romance increases, especially in the last half of the season. There’s actual relationship progress. We’re not left hanging at the end. Also I thought the set up for the final scene was pretty good. It even choked me up a little. That being said things seemed a little aimless in the first half and was dragged out some in the last few episodes. You get the cliffhanger opening then this arc that fells kind of like a side story that takes up half the season then a couple of episodes about the miasma that lead to the cliffhanger and finally the last four episodes dive into the romance which as I said felt a little drawn out from time to time. I think part of why things felt drawn out at the end was because they didn’t end with the cliffhanger. If you show a cliffhanger in the beginning then it’s supposed to be the story climax where things end but instead the story just kept going. I really think the opening scene messes up the viewer’s expectations and experience. Despite these issues I’d still recommend it, but I just didn’t think it was as good as the first season.

Not Recommended

The continuation of the "otome game" styled isekai in which an adult woman has been plucked from current day Japan and put in a 15-1600's European renaissance styled fantasy world with a bit of magic and monsters in it. Our protagonist is a 'saint' with holy powers and is by her own words, surrounded by gorgeous men on all sides.

I think the best best description of it is "flaccid". It's nothing special, it raises several interesting plot questions and then resolves them in unsatisfying ways with no sense of flair.
The main drive of the story is the love interest between our main character and ... a stereotypical "prince" charming, who's only genuine good quality is that he actually fights alongside her, a good example of people respecting each other and learning to love them.

Questions of why there are corrupted spots in the land, why there were two saints, what implications the second isekai'ist has, what her being revealed to the world means, what the political significance of her actually is, all go unanswered. Remember that twat prince from the first season? Nowhere to be seen.

This is in essence an indulgence fantasy of what the writer would do if she were the one teleported and the story is secondary.
I can't actually state how good the romance between the characters is, because I eventually stopped watching them entirely and skipped through those parts. The dialogue is a slog, their treatment of each other barely changes and the delayed advancement of their relationship serves no purpose because there are no surprises. The drama of multiple interests is as good as non-existent.

It's not bad, it's just boring and disappointing. It sort of kept my interest because it kept promising interesting stories and never delivered.
Maybe a season 3 can redeem this, maybe they'll stop and hopefully let this fizzle out. Maybe the manga is worth reading for a better pace, but one thing is certain, you shouldn't waste your time on this unless you specifically just want to waste some time watching a generic romance show.
