They really went quite the length to put characters into cute outfits this episode. Chika, Nozomi, and Tsumgui looked cute.

Not surprising to some performance from the idols too. If anything, this show will try anything to be entertaining. And that trio of idols has quite a fan base.

The story was starting to get serious more and more. The ED was also a nice and peaceful one.

Carmina on Stage!!!
Tsumugi and her measurement tape are always dangerous. :P Everyone from Carmina was cute and shining especially during their performance on the stage. Unfortunately, we haven't had a chance to see them in a battle in this episode.
Ayumi, why are you hiding like that??! You should join the gang and try on some cute dresses.

Always loved PriConne's theme song since Spring 2020, and the 2nd half of Lost Princess for Season 2 here. And just like Season 1's ED, the Gourmet Guild's 2nd ED is another good one, though I'd prefer Season 1's.

Welp, Karyl continues to be under the guise of the Shadows, and there seems no intention for her master (Mana Senri) to let go of her anytime soon. It's now even more clearer that she reports to the Landosol Palace guild Nightmare, given that vice-captain Christina is tag-teaming with her to eradicate the Shadows.

Ikacchi, Charlie and Mama Yasuko are back, though they're so different now lols. Kokkoro of course probes Pecorine about her true nature being the true Princess Eustania of Landosol, but this would be a secret that would be held for the longest time.

Hah, idol guild Carmina is here with Tsumugi, Chika and Nozomi, welcome these girls along for the ride! Pecorine, Koro-ster and Yuuki defo looked good in their idol costumes, and Karyl got the shock of her life being forced in the situation. Not surprised that they would have their own fan base as well, as such with the hooligan-based group.

Anime-only fans really are in for a dig on Carmina's trio fighting monsters with music, and this is what makes them unique: sing, dance, fight, Carmina on stage!

CygamesPictures REALLY UPPED THEIR ANTE for this sequel.

You don't need to get a new OP song if the song is already perfect.

Karyl when Pecorine reveal that she is the princess I hope that will be meme worthy like " Sarcastically Surprised Kirk".

Karyl with Gourmet Guild: Wacky and funny
Karyl alone: pure depression.

Kyaru themed episode>>>>> lets goo. Loved seeing best girl get some shine. The art was always gorgeous in this show but it seems like it got even better in s2. The facial expressions of the characters especially that final sequence when Kyaru meets back up with the gang, were so good.

It’s really cool to see how far she’s come from being a standoffish Tsundere to fully accepting her place among friends.

Love this, some-what Kyaru based episode. I wonder how things will turn out with her.

The idol performance was pretty good actually, would've loved to see Peco, Koroster, and Yuuji in their dresses at the concert though.

This episode was surprising serious... and I love it.

A Karyl episode is always welcomed. I through she would stop being a spy after season 1 finale, but it doesn't seem that simple. I don't play the game, so I'm very curious about this relationship between Karyl and Kaiser Insight.

they kept the OP song and i'm freaking glad lmao.. I extremely loved that song..

The animation and art is far better than the previous anime.. like.. the fare bit of CGI use can be ignored when they legit decided to hand draw the idols dancing and singing which is rare since Idols dancing and singing is always and always CGI so that's nice

Love Karyl screen time and her part.. the world needs more Karyl..

I knew they would use the same song for the OP but it was a surprise to hear a different verse, that's neat.

But what was more surprising was to find after the episode that Hikasa Youko voices Nozomi. She doesn't sound at all like the Hikasa Youko I always hear! xD

I had forgotten about Kokkoro's cute stomps. Seeing and hearing her do it again melted my heart <3.

Idol concert was great.

RESPECT!

Yuuki is funny as hell im sorry. Him in a dress and him getting praised by those fans was just hilarious imo.

So the Fox lady had Karyl destroy the shadow monsters even though they were her monsters to begin with. Interesting.

I look forward to seeing more of this anime.

Also Op...shocked they kept the original <3

This episode felt somewhat disjointed between its darker elements and the fun of Carmina's introduction, but I think that did a good job of reflecting the double-life that Karyl is leading and the toll it's taking on her. Also probably serves as a good way to prime us for even more darkness going forward.

So they kept the first OP, call me surprised!! Good choice though!

Why is it that Karyl centered episodes are always the bittersweet ones. I want the girl to have fun with the rest of the gourmet guild, where she belongs, instead of reporting everything to her guild Nightmare. The double life is unreal and it pains me T_T That being said, it was a great episode for Karyl's character.

I loved seeing the girls (and Yuuki) in different outfits for once!!! Super cute and totally true that Karyl has great proportions!

The Carmina introduction and Idol perfomance was pretty good, great animation as per usual, while Karyl and Christina are defeating their lords shadows that have gone out of control.

U wish Pecorine beat Karly to a pull and break hey bones already. She's working for the people who kicked her out of the castle and made her parents forget her. Thought she changed in the first season but nope.

Anyone not a fan of the washed out colour pallete? The first season was colourful and beautiful but this is just drab and washed out. It's randesoru and Recorder all over again.

Great episode but the concert could've been better since there were some stiff parts that seem unnatural but I still loved this episode.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Sad to see Karyl so troubled. Hope it doesn't take too long for her to finally open up to Pecorine and co.

Funny yet serious episode overall. Really liked the Idol fanservice with the main girls wearing those outfits and the fact of the studio keeping the same OP song was such a pleasant surprise too. Really love that song.

Rewatched Episode 2 again and noticed something fun in the opening. Anyone think this is intentional? The poses are so strikingly similar!

Only difference now is that instead of leading the group Yuuki is behind them (having lost his memory), and the Gourmet Guild lead the way in helping him recover who he is.

Something's been bugging me since the first season. The gourmet guildhouse seems pretty detailed and consistent, but some things don't make much sense. Like, there seems to be a lot of space between the outer walls and inner walls just left of the kitchen (or, to the left of the front door when looking from outside, and to the right of the front door when looking from inside).

Finally! Carmina! I've been waiting since season 1 and totally worth it. Nozomi best (tank) idol and it's refreshing to see a non-tsundere Tsumugi altho it does kinda feel like she's out of character. Chika is really cute too and still level-headed like in the game.

Bold of them to not change the OP but considering how iconic Lost Princess is, I can see why they didn't.

Great episode! Kokkoro's splish splash sounds were nice to hear and her xo face as usual xD. We get to see Nozomi, Chika and Tsumugi! Of course Chika in the game is a useless character but we all know how great for pvp Tsumugi is and Nozomi as an all around taunt tank! Tsumugi dressed Yuuki up lol. Carmina are probably my favourite guild after nightmare. Kokkoro and peco looked awesome dressed up. 'NICE PROPORTIONS!'
We got to see our OP ('NUMBERS AVALON') girl Christina as well! Feel bad for Kyaru with how she's being forced to spy.

Looking forward to the next episode!

Poor Kyaru is still doing the Kaiser's bidding by being her Princess Knight and spying on Peco and Yukki. The Gourmet guild finally runs into idol guild Carmina who are planning on doing a concert. We also got to see my waifu Christina in action as she takes on the shadows with Kyaru. Kokkoro made that wtf face again when she saw Yukki all dressed up.

Not only she's a tsundere type, but Kyaru still serves Mana(Kaiser Insight) who is currently sitting on the throne right now so she has to keep her distance from the Gourmet Guild or risk getting punished by her master.

Tsumugi here is different than in the game, in the game, she more tsun tsun type, as supposed to her in the anime where she behaves completely different, she is very cheerful, and out of control, and wants force people into cute idol outfits.
