Mahoutsukai no Yome Season 2

Apprentice mage Chise Hatori is invited to enroll at the College, a prestigious learning institution for sorcerers, to examine and look for a way to remove the curses she bears. Despite the reluctance of her groom, Elias Ainsworth, Chise accepts the proposal, as she believes attending the school might help her minimize her self-sacrificing tendencies.

From the get-go, Chise grabs the attention of her classmates and professors alike, who have never seen a mage in action before. However, there is a sinister plot brewing behind the College's back, and the young mage will have to determine who is friend or foe in order to put a stop to it.

This season is obiviously different from the original, but it has some aspects from the original as well. I would say that it isn't as pretty or magical as the first season.
If I were to compare it, it would be like AOT season 1 to AOT season 3 kinda of different.
This 2nd season spends almost half of the episodes introducing characters and creating drama from the smallest things. I would say that it starts to get interesting by the half point.
Some might not like the fact that we spend more time with other characters development aside from the main ones but ... I believed it was okay either way. It can feel a bit chaotic as there are far more characters introduced in a single season (12 episodes) than the first one (with 24 episodes).
There is less romance between Chise and Elias (or less moments with them together), but they do grow to a better understanding of one another.
I wasn't hooked initially until the half-way point. Then I remembered that the first season was just as, or if not more slow. I enjoyed it for what it was, I just wished that they were able to change from their past mistakes (super slow introduction).

Mixed Feelings

I don’t feel like I watched The Ancient Magus’ Bride. I don’t really understand why there was such a shift in tone and content, especially not if that shift in tone and content wasn’t going to be done super well. Don’t get me wrong, this anime is fine, but I feel like I’ve seen it before. A lot of the magic of this world was washed away for me this season; to be fair, I wasn’t the biggest fan of this series in the first place, but I was still excited to get back to these characters. Instead, I found this season to be quite ... bland and lacking excitement. I didn’t care much for the new characters, the world was not explored in a way that interested me, and as I said, I kept feeling like something important was missing. Probably an interesting romance plot, if I’m honest, because that didn’t keep me all that engaged either. I’m mostly disappointed with the setting shift of this season, I think, and because of that, I couldn’t really look forward to much throughout the run of the season.

As a big fan of the series, I was very disappointed with this season. The story goes round and round, around a lot of new characters, and doesn't really reach proper conclusions for their plots. Chise used to be a character that is very close to us, she's very human and overflows emotions that connect with us, but in this season that was not properly portrayed and we end up with too many characters overshadowing her importance on the series, and the same happens with Elias. They (Chise and Elias) have only 1 meaningful and very emotional moment in this season, which is a great ... scene, but doesn't save this season of the show.
Main issues are: too many poorly (un)solved plots, too many new characters without proper development to make us feel closer to them, too little focus on the actual main characters, and overall it gives a feeling of slow-paced story, like we are watching a bunch of "filler" scenes.
Honestly upon reaching the last episode I'm left wondering how can they somehow save this show on the next season...
