Maou-sama, Retry! R

With Rabbi Village greatly expanding under the management of his subordinates Isami Tahara and Yuu Kirino, Hakuto Kunai can now resume his adventures while looking for items to counteract magic. He begins his search at the Prison Labyrinth in Rookie Town, where a secret laboratory deep within the dungeon gives him insight into technology that is far more advanced and dangerous than anything in the rest of the world.

Meanwhile, Rabbi Village has gained unwanted international attention from the newly formed Queendom of Xenobia, which wishes to drive a wedge between the Holy Kingdom of Light and the State of Right. But with Kunai's newly summoned aide, Akane Fujisaki, at his disposal, things may not go as the Queendom plans.

Preliminary (6/? eps)

The first few episodes of the new Maou-Sama Retry leave a lot to be desired. I had just finished the original season before I started this one. The recap in the first few episodes was terrible with the change in animation style and a more childish feel. After watching both of the first two episodes I nearly dropped it thinking it was complete trash. However I stuck with it and it got much better. While the animation style is different, once I was invested in the story. I hardly noticed it. Overall the recap is terrible and I can't say I approve of the animation ... style however, the story is still very entertaining.

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (7/? eps)

I gave the original season a 7/10, which was slightly higher than the average score; It was complete and utter trash, with some of the worst art and animation I've seen in anime, although overall, the season was held-up by just how trash it was. "So bad it's good" comes to mind.

This season is actually worse, because it simply has no real redeeming qualities.

After 7 episodes it's hard to even describe what's happening, the story seems to keep jumping around all over the place without any idea as to what it's actually trying to convey. It really doesn't help that the first 2 episodes ... are mostly recapping season 1 and have some weird pre-reincarnation explanation thing going on that goes nowhere and don't really end up explaining anything.

The art and animation are extremely "generic isekai", which means it doesn't have that same comedic trashiness the original series did either. A lot of the characters have also undergone severe redesigns here, losing any charm or "waifu-ness" the originals had. Even the "girly-boy" (referred to as such in S1) has been turned into an actual girl here (she/her pronouns used).

The only thing even remotely holding this up so far, is that the writing is incredibly tongue in cheek and doesn't take itself seriously, which is thankfully a holdover from the original series and more props to the original manga/LN writer.

Currently, this show is between a score of 4 or 5 for me, sitting on the fence between mediocrity and being plain bad. I'll keep watching out of morbid curiosity, but I wouldn't recommend this to most.

Well-written

Preliminary (3/? eps)

Season 2 starts with 2 episodes of recap with random backstory flashbacks which were unknown.
Random changes to the ending of Season 1.
The animation quality has degraded like no one's business.
(I usually don't concern about this. But even for me, the dropoff was unimaginable.)
Even reading the manga art would feel more joyful than watching this third grade animation.
The plot seems to have gotten haywire with no coherence about what they are trying to depict.
The pace of Season 1 which kept intrigued is lost.
Too many characters in too few episodes appearing and acting relevant.
Unless some miracle happens, this season could go down as the ... worst second season of all time.
Characters have changed tones. Background score is pathetic. Interrupts/drowns the dialog flow.

Animation - 2/10
Screenplay - 2/10
Action/Adventure - 3/10
Direction - 3/10

Overall rating - 2.5 (rounded up to 3 with optimism/hope for better future episodes)
