| The harem is back and it looks like the new season retains a similar style of humor compared to the first season. They even got their little jeep together on an adventure and didn't waste much time to encounter a monster on the way. Pretty typical episode though. Nothing too special stood out but it looks like the new season is getting fans familiar with the sequel. |

| It's been 2.5 years since Arifureta started the downward spiral of novelist Ryo Shirakome's abominable anime adaptation, so how has things changed since then with collab studios Asread X atudio MOTHER? The OST is less impressive this time, even though it's done by MindaRyn and FantasticYouth. There's just no eclipsing Void_Chords' Season 1's awesome OP and DracoVirgo's decent ED. The story continues where Season 1 left off with the entrety of Hajime's class Isekai-ed and trained into heroes with their stint in the Neiligh Kingdom. "The Hero" Kouki has seen his fair shares of near-death in Season 1, so there's cause for concern. Hajime and his rag-tag team of Yue, Shea, Tio and Myu are back, and now that Healer Kaori joins his gang in their expedition across land on their Hummer-like Brise SUV retrofitted with weapons. Obviously Kaori still has feelings for Hajime, and Yue trying to bait her into a lover's feud is something, and Hajime's harem adds that nonchalance. The 3DCG is back of the the Gruen Desert's sand dune worms, courtesy of studio MOTHER, though at this point I'm kinda used to how terribad Season 1 looked in comparison. Saving a noble out stranded in the desert (Bize Feuward Zengen, the son of Lord Lanzwi of the Dukedom of Ankaji) and requesting adventurers Hajime and his gang to save his dukedom from an epidemic caused by deliberate sabotage, since Myu has to be sent back to whence she came from, Hajime has no choice but to follow along being a side quest. The Demon's Kingdom of Garland receive word from Mikhail of an Irregular, not "The Hero" Kouki that killed the Fertility Goddess Cattleya in Season 1, and Geneal Freid isn't happy of this advancement. Make haste for new, strong magic to oppose Hajime and his gang. A decent start to the new season, does it look any better than Season 1? You tell me. |

| I'm so glad with the return of Arifureta. I'm glad to see Tio back (favorite out of them) and the rest of the girls. It's just a continuation so it started off right where it left off from season 1. The OP and ED are pretty good tbh. The animation improved a bit but the CGI monsters are still there. The action was quite decent. I'm just here for the main chad mc. |
   “You yourself have to change first, or nothing will change for you!” ' |
| Oh yeah it's back after 2.5 years, hopefully we won't see any anal dragon again, it's basically just a setup episode and I don't see much difference, though the CGI seems to be improved compared to before, the worms didn't look too bad compared to how awful it was on the 1st season, we'll see how it will develop but I, of course, don't expect anything |
 |
| The monster CGI seems to be better than the first season. At least, it got some improvement. |
何それ？意味分かんない  |
| Here we go, anime of the fucking year right here. I liked the part when they applied camera shake to show the car was moving for a solid 15 minutes |

| Yeah watched season 1 back then and it was mediocre which implies the same for the sequel but hey, I'm glad to see my girls back and animation is notably better (well for the better or the worse) but CGI still looks as hilarious but it's not worse than the first season. OP and ED are really good though and that's just my taste because I love both of the artist respectively. Not a bad start for a sequel. |

| The line below is True. The line above is False. |
| Idk why but the monster CG from this episode reminded me of the BETA from Muv-Luv lol. The episode itself was about the same level as the previous season as a whole, and Kaori's addition to the group feels so lazy and uninspired. The build up with her being separated from Nagumo and all the growth she wanted to accomplish after what happened to him while having hope that he was alive, has just turned her into one of Hajime's harem and someone who argues with Yue a lot in a competition for Hajime's feelings. She adds nothing here while barely showing appropriate development, even with coming from the same homeland as Hajime but not standing out whatsoever beyond knowing a few interests of his from Japan. Rest was just dull setup. |
| First episode into the new season and there's already catfights going on between Kaori and Yue of course The introduction of Goddess almost defeating Hajime at the start seems very intriguing, if what we later get down the road does not live up to this scene it's gonna be such a disappointing sequel |
| It is pretty good not gonna lie. The CG has definitely improved, they look better and move better compared to season 1 |
| Go check out my latest review: https://myanimelist.net/profile/YeeYeeAss/reviews |
| Good to have Hajime and his harem back. Yue and Kaori catfight was quite amusing. The new development seems allright. OP was pretty meh, ED was okay. Decent episode to start this season, looking forward to more amusing harem moments. |
 |
| Those worms looked decent tbh. They also went all out with harem stuff right from the start. This season looks very promising. |
| Kind a loved to watch season 1, rewatched it many times, CGI looks way better than S1, looking foreword to next episodes |
 |
| Unironically started to appreciate Ari after many other turd isekai. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| I live for harem shenaningans. The Yue x Kaori banter was hilarious, poor Hajime wanting to die while Kaori revealed his chuuni secrets lol. Tio being Tio putting her tits on Hajime's head and more Shia in general. Glad to have this harem back! CGI looks better which is nice. Pretty fun first episode, looking forward to more. |
| Well it looks like they fixed the cgi. That sucks, now it's just another run of the mill crappy isekai with no charm |
| Animation got a major improvement, though the monsters are still CG, at least the characters arent As a LN reader I can say that the pacing is fair, at least this first episode wasn't rushed Kaori x Yue was the highlight today |
I am a useless student of society. Tests are my body and Grades are my blood. I have done over a thousand assignments. Unseen by teachers, nor done properly. Yet, those hands shall never hold an outstanding grade. So, as I pray... Unlimited Homeworks. |
| the ed kinda slaps hard tho 🥶 |
| Awesome. I loved the 1st season and more myuu being cute is never bad. |

| Took a little while into the eps for clarity to kick in. I only know I'd watched all the first season as I've rated it here, plus the bunny eared girl gave some recollections. Not be confused with the newer bunny girl in a show since. By about mid point in the episode, the old neurons were firing and remembrance was occurring. Like that super huge oppai one is maybe a dragon in human form, school crush girl, and vampire he found in dungeon in full competition mode and him driving about in a humvee in fantasy world. Ah, them feels as lost memory leaked back into consciousness. Lets go!! 2nd season!! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| Good to see this show back for a second season. Already started off with Hajime and his harem. The banter between Yue and Kaori was enjoyable and I'm looking forward to seeing more of that. I honestly forgot how adorable Myu is. |
 |
| Arifureta is back! Lol the cat fights are back as well. Myu really is best daughter I have missed her |
 |
| let's goo seaason 2 hype starts |
 |
| MindaRyn opening, this is already better than s1 (even though s1 opening was a banger) Ngl, this was a huge improvement over season 1 |
FireFistYKJan 13, 2022 1:38 PM
 |
| There is a huge improvement in terms of CG. But it's not like it could get much worse than what we had before. I just hope they won't unnecessarily skip anymore content. |
 |
| at least this feels like it wouldnt warrant a recap episode next week like the 1st season lol |
| That CGI looked way better. That ending was amazing! Visuals though, not so much. |
 |
| glad to see arifureta is still shit lmao. 5/5. |
| CGI much better than last sesaon. They change studio but art somehow still similar and then they introduce the main enemy (demon) cant wait to see next episode. |
