| From the way Rio told that story, it definitely feels like they're building up for this season. Characters like Ayase made their reappearances and there's some glimpse of flashbacks. Not much seems to have changed personally for Rio and his character yet. This feels pretty much just like the previous season tbh. Good to know Celia is doing well since the wedding. |

| Novelist Yuri Kitayama's Kirito-wannabe Isekai harem series is back after 3 years...and I still vaguely, but can remember all that's going on since Season 1 all those years ago. Aguri Oonishi takes the OP for the 2nd Season (though unlike Season 1, there's no difference in visuals if you glance at CR or Bilibili versions) and it's a decent follow-up from Marika Kouno's Season 1 OP. Nanaka Suwa's ED carries on more or lss the same spirit where Aguri Oonishi left off. The slight recap for Haruto in Japan with his crush of Miharu Ayase being separated childhood friends, and then him studying hard to be in the same school as her, being surrounded by her friends of Satsuki Sumeragi and Takahisa Sendo, along with his sublings of Aki and Masato, and then getting summoned into the fantasy world, this is definitely where Season 1 last left off. The 5 students getting summoned into Rio's world after hearing Aishia summon his help to save them, it was certainly a call for help alright being kidnapped by a group of slave masters, but for Rio to see Miharu being there with them, he has to be discreet about who he is, once under the guise of Haruto, even by the mention of his name. Aishia helping him link the languages together, and spend the night together after Celia's misconstrued wedding in the royal capital. The discussion to link Rio's and the rest's experiences by combining their stories together, it's defintely the 6 Wise Gods of Strahl at play, but Miharu and the Sendo siblings while they have potential, he can't be sure if they're the summoned heroes at all. But if anything, Rio still has his time with Aishia that Celia is the same teacher who sees him as a harem magnet. Yup, this sequel's premiere episode is speedrunning through Volume 4 of the LN, which was left out of Season 1 for the appropriate reason. Still, my expectations just remain where they are just the same like years ago. |

It's released?.. Where did you watch it so fast?
Edit: I didn't know about the rule. First time in discussion. my bad
| @OtakuHiten Just wait for the CR release, which should be out by now. Don't question, for such stuff can get you banned. |

Where did you watch it so fast? you dont have a tad bit of patience, do you? These people watch it when the episode airs in Japanese TV. Crunchyroll and other streaming sites release the episode after the TV premiere and sometimes will have a delay of a couple hours. One of the most important forum rules in an episode discussion thread is to not ask where to watch an episode. Simply wait for the episode. It will be uploaded. Asking it here wont give you an answer always. |
| Episode extended the events of the post credits scene from season 1 finale and also made some small changes with what was shown at the end there. In the post credit scenes, Haruto mentions he found the phone on some henchman, but here he finds it ramdomly in the ground when looking around. Apart from that, a decent progression to the story. But I kinda find it annoying that there are multiple audio layers when they communicate with each other. Unable to focus on what they are actually talking. Wish they change it from next episode coz we now understand that Aishia is translating for them and everyone is now able to understand each other. |
| Episode 1 of the season and Rio/Haruto has acquired a new harem member, another imouto, and a little brother. Why not take out all the bandits and free all the slaves? Even if it would be a bit of work to get all the kids to a village, they would have the wagons. Why does he not reveal his previous life's connection to them as soon as possible? |

| That dual voice audio is really annoying. One time to show what's happening is fine, not the entire time. |
mariox7777 said: Rio also does not consider himself to be that person, that he only has the memories of that person. These were explained in the LN but left out of the anime. not really left out, but showed in subtle manners. Like referring to Haruto as a completely different person and not himself in his monologues. |

| I getting a little tired of Rio's lack of external emotion. He could really used a little character development in the feeling department. Also, pulling a huge harem without giving a shred of feels to your girls is stretching fantasy way to far. |
| Lord Cruelty V "But my Dreams they're not as empty, as my conscience seems to be" |
| Good for the vibes on a rainy monday. Just enjoying some average isekai. |

| I'm glad they remade the ending of the season 1 finale. That was so damn rushed |
| Finally!!! they resumed that cliff hanger from Season 1 and they are all reunited from the previous world !!! although the little brother also getting summoned was a little unexpected. |
| After waiting 3 years, Rio and his harem finally returned,Nonstalgia during Covid makes this anime interesting to watch every week. |
| it's finally back!!! animation looks kinda the same (hope it looks above avg sometimes) but at least it finished production, that's a W. just some classic, average but good harem isekai anime, love it fr. hope they build upon the obvious lore more. |
| Celia founds out that Rio has memories of a person that lived in another world and she doesn't even have a proper reaction? Bruh. |
| It took almost the whole episode for him to rescue them and the animation turn to be quite good . I have a good expection for it. :P |

| aaaand it’s back gosh the overlap between the two languages is bollocks |
| 3 years later we finally back 😩 can’t believe so much time has passed. Because it’s been so long ngl I don’t really remember anything from season 1 other than the Celia wedding that Haruto interrupted I think? So I’m glad they kinda eased us back into things in this first ep. This is one of the situations when a recap episode would’ve been nice tho lol. Haruto getting another harem member and meeting people from earth who are presumably his siblings is cool. Like I said I’m hazy on season 1, so does Haruto not remember much about his past life or has he created another persona subconsciously? Because I notice he refers to Haruto on earth in the third person and seems to be hazy himself on details about his little sister. Aishia and Celia yuri?? That kiss was so cute lol. I can tell there’s gonna be a lot of fun banter this season as Haruto harem expands likely with Miharu. Only issue I really had with the episode was the double voice line stuff. Really could’ve done without that and it’s kinda distracting lol. I get they’re trying to drive home that they’re speaking different languages but cmon. Other than that, really fun ep. |

| 1. I thought he was going to check on all the lights that appeared, but he only checked on the one. 2. He only saved the 3 Japanese people, not the rest of the slaves? 🤦♂️ 3. Why would Miharu and especially Aki be mad at Haruto Amakawa, he did not do anything wrong, more misunderstandings and emotion, without anything communicating and asking questions. 4. Good they had Aishia to translate, but that double voice speak is killing my ears and mind, it actually hurts to hear hit. This was a fine first episode, but thinking he was going to check on all the lights, really changed the way I thought the show was going to go. |

Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.  |
| Great to this back again, I really enjoyed the 1st season. I'm glad we got to see more about Miharu and the others getting into this world and Haruto saving them. Looking forward to watching the rest of this season. |

I was thinking the same thing. They already said Aishia was translating for them. That's all they had to do.
| @Moppit Yeah after Aishia did that thing for Miharu and Celia they should have made them speak in japanese. |

Miharu not mad at Haruto only Aki because she hate that Haruto father divorce her moms and Haruto follow his father not with her. 4. Get new ears. Others light is far away like another Kingdom. |

| Did we really need another season of this after 3 years? Probably not do you remember what this was about? Yeah, I liked for a mid-show will you watch it? Yeah other people have complaints about the animation, do you care? Bitch, have you seen maou sama retry R? This might as well look like JJK in comparative Now for the episode I laughed when I watched the sensei coming in the wedding dress, it was like a "wait, it is literally the same day as last episode? Lol" would I be shocked after finding my crush a good 15 years later, I reincarnated? Yeah, probably, would I still hold a crush after this guy's life? Hell no let's see what this holds |
| Being a fan is like having a penis. Its nice to be proud of it But don't pull it out in public and wave it in other's faces Kyurem Black. Kyurem White. Together they are Pretty Kyurem. |
| been so long I forgot so much about this anime.. off to an okay start I guess. Hope to see some action though. Animation is fine, Idk why people are whining about it. Funny as hell no one seemed to piece haruto - dead - new haruto alive = possibly same haruto hopefully it happens soon. 3/5 |

| @CrazyFrogz You should not make assumptions. I used my eyes to read the SUB text, not my ears, I do not speak Japanese. 1. She said "They need your help, help them please", if we are supposed to assume she only meant one Lightbeam, that is not in he dialogue, neither is there anything in the context to assume this. 2. You are completely missing the point, he does not need to follow the "law" of this world, especially since he is on the run and not a part of any nation. He is totally free and able to help the other slaves, by killing the other slave traders. 3. If you are telling me spoilers, I did not ask for that, and you are supposed to put a spoiler waring [spoiler][/ spoiler] 4. There is no way to know how far the other visible lights are, that is either another assumption on your part or more spoilers. You seriously need to learn the MAL rules about spoilers and about civil and respectful conversations. |

| Sooo....Haruto gets cucked by the most generic character designed guy who is likely the chosen hero after summoning? Bet he's a massive doubebag too, like most non harem romantic interest characters in this series. Rewarching episode 1 from season one for a refresher, Haruto was same age as Miharu buy died at 20. Although they come over to the other world at very different times where she disappeared in high school. It's worth mentioning that the artstyle is a whole lot better than the first season, so that's an improvement. Also, what did he do for all the the other kids that were being trafficked by the slave traders...looks like he let them live for no good reason. Sucks for you, slaves...only his Japanese acquaintances get saved. Should have killed all the slave traders and taken all their loot like carriages, cash, and weapons, but especially the cash if they're going to be living in this world. Listening to the two voice overlayed on top of eachother was pretty jarring. I wish they simply switched to just Japanese. Overall, not a horrible start to a new season that probably doesn't deserve it with how generic and aggravating the story is. |
