Sword Art Online Alternative: Gun Gale Online II

A new tournament, Squad Jam 3, has been announced in the popular VR game Gun Gale Online. This time, Pitohui, one of the best performers in the previous competition, offers to team up with Karen Kohiruimaki, better known in-game as LLENN, the "Pink Devil." Despite her initial reluctance, Karen agrees to join Pitohui's team, LPFM, since she looks forward to facing SHINC, her rivals from the previous Squad Jam.

The newly formed LPFM enrolls in the tournament and is quickly recognized as the favorite to win due to the caliber of its players. As they strive to come out on top and win Squad Jam 3, LLENN, Pitohui, and the other members of LPFM battle against other competitors and tackle unexpected challenges.

I caught up with season 1 a few months ago. From what the anime community says, it's supposedly "so bad."

Sometimes, you don’t need a show to be deep or thought-provoking to enjoy it. This series delivers pure entertainment from start to finish, with a focus on action, humor, and vibrant characters.

The plot might be straightforward, but it’s packed with enough energy and excitement to keep you hooked. Whether it’s the over-the-top battles, witty dialogue, or just the sheer fun of watching things unfold, this show knows exactly what it’s doing and does it well. It’s not here to make you think too ... hard—it’s here to make you have a great time, and it absolutely succeeds at that.

Do I recommend this to others? YEAH!
Did I enjoy it? YEAH!
Do I like it? YEAH!

OSTs are good too(8.6)
Animation (8)

Overall an 8.5

I'm looking forward for another season if they make one.

Mixed Feelings

The second season was overall weaker than the first season, due to the lesser stakes and less LLENN focus however their decision to focus on minor characters within the GGO world had mixed results. On the one hand, if more seasons are adapted, every minor team now has some characterization, on the other hand, a lot of the first 8 episodes of this seasons were sacrificed to them and they were the weakest. The unfortunate part is given the last episode, they definitely could have done effective minor character focus without wasting much screen time so it was a matter of execution where some of ... it was done good, some of it was done bad.

Any episode with a LLENN focus was however really good. The action was sharper and her gaming is fun attitude shines in contrast to crazy Pitohui though LLENN in her own way is crazy.

The season of GGO is worth watching with lesser expectations with the first. I appreciate the attempt different direction it took to not make GGO the LFPM show but I do fault its execution.

NOT RECOMMENDED, when they announce this new season i was like "Ehh!?? why bother making season 2? nobody wants it" so yeah thats my thoughts but i was surprised though so i guess its a good thing? anyways after watching everything yeah i guess it right "theres nothing" no story, no moments that makes you "wow its cinema!" or etcc... its just survival fps game but in anime, now you might think its ok just like that but im totally sure its not and pretty sure you won't like it unless your not a fan of fps survival game that just curios want to ... see this anime so you can get a reference what fps survival game is all about,

BASICALLY: its like watching a grade schooler level film? they show something so common without saying anything its common (dont get mistaken its not compliment), MC have op powers as usual even thought its supposed to be normal that every players have op skill s besides that "super speed" skill sht (iirc they explained it in season 1), plot was just tournament arc, well overall this series was just excess, not needed, pointless, you can even count this as NOT SEQUEL thats all, guessing they make this season cause maybe TV needed to fill the time slot or some other reason sht its just a guess though,

Edit: FORGOT TO TELL!! ENDING SONG IS GOOD!!!
