To get back to their rhythm, means getting out of their comfort zone. And for PathTLive, this decision is the hardest it's ever been, at least to Miracle, who has to feel the connection of hearts. And as much as Sofia is doing all of the work to deride the current winner's cyberattack, having everyone's backing while the 5 girls navigate through fields of data that never seem to end.

Sofia's data hacking, aided by the others' "Power of Friendship" trope through song, these past few episodes have been a riot for all 4 groups to showcase themselves, but for their efforts, A for effort.

EFFING finally, this is all over. What a Truman Show's waste of wedged resources for a significant genre that was marketed oh so wrong.

Really good finale, I liked it a lot. I also liked that they showed the other girls' songs once again and in turn giving more meaning to them. Their final performance was really good and the visuals were great, even though I prefer their performance from season 1. Overall I enjoyed this season even more though, it had a good mix of music, friendship, drama and wholesomeness. It's a crying shame though that hardly anyone watches this show. I think this is in no way inferior to shows like Idolmaster or Love Live, every show has their special twist that makes them a unique show to enjoy.

My only gripe is that we didn't get to find out more about Chris, there were several hints throughout the season that she may actually is an A.I. but sadly that wasn't touched upon in the season finale, but that may actually be for the better. ^^' I really hope we get to see another season and though the reception for this show in Japan was certainly much bigger than in the west, I do not know if it's enough for another season. But I was already wrong when I thought we wouldn't get this season, so there is still some hope left. ^^

You know what, I genuinely enjoyed this season, lots of fun new characters introduced and there were a lot of fun interactions, my only real complaint is the lack of Chris screen time, it was teased a bit about her and maybe some sort of secret?, she has yet to meet with Miracle in the real world too, a mystery that will never be solved just like why was this show presented as a Kizuna AI story with her disappearance yet she showed up even less in S2.

I absolutely enjoyed both seasons , the 2nd more then the 1st cause we got even more contestants to dote on , I'm probably gonna rate this a 8/10 and I honestly would love a 3rd season cause it's just so enjoyable , but the anime seems to have ended well , PATHlive won and everything was solved. while imo I think Viconic should have won but PATHlive was my 2nd choice , a really good watch and I hope to see more Virtuality reality type shows like KnA

It ends just like that? Why would the show even try to hide who won and went to the VGA Awards, this isnt even an ad for a mobage.

Dissappointing finale, reusing the same MVs from the other groups to "save PathTLive" and their final performance isn't as good as S1's finale performance. Not to mention Kizuna Ai's disappearance mystery still is barely touched

I really enjoyed most of this season. The 2 hiphop-esque songs made me want to unalive myself, but the music was otherwise good.

I found the whole hacking development at the end utterly retarded. They defeated it with the combined power of friendship and music (which my brain has already started trying to convince itself is not lame) and then... nothing. No apparent consequences or discussion of the culprit. And I'm sure it's not that hard to generate another generic virtual green meadow with a bunch of trees around it, so that wasn't much of a sacrifice.

I'm sure we can assume from the ending that PathTLive won, but why not spend the extra 3 to 7 seconds to announce it like a normal idol show would?

Also, Chris never kissed Miracle again...

Overall I found it much funnier and more enjoyable than the first season. Miracle wasn't annoying and the drama was mostly fine. Side characters were also fine.

If we get a third season, I'll definitely watch it. It doesn't feel like we'll get another season though and we're left with a few loose ends. Given the more "important" ones to the story probably have dumb explanations, getting more of Chris' backstory would be enough. I hope she's not an AI though. Or an NFT, lol...

This is actually the unnecessary anime production, and considering how bad IG PORT produced 3DCGI aspects there.

But this multimedia project is brilliant at the kikaku, compared to the days of Selection Project which only plagiarized Idoly Pride.

Mirakuru is kawaii, Chris is cool. The great duo represents Sony's domination against Kizuna AI after her retirement (Everyone can be VTubers, even if they took the paths of Kizuna AI). The rest are well-cooked characters, and I love it. But yet, they don't need a lot of storylines with unnecessariness.

I enjoyed Kizuna no Allele Season Two quite a bit. It's been nice seeing these characters bond, learn more about each other, more about themselves, and so on. It was a fun ride overall, really. I wasn't sure about the groups at first and was worried that there wouldn't be a lot of time spent on each group, but I didn't feel short changed or anything.
The visuals on all the last performances were quite nice too. It's a shame that it feels like people kinda just dislike Kizuna no Allele just to dislike it. I can't understand the idea behind the "this production was useless" comment I keep seeing all over. The anime clearly told a story and honestly had something different to say or at least a different way to say it than many other similar anime. Yes, it's pretty much an idol anime which uses virtual entertainers as its vehicle, but I personally thought that allowed for something just a tad bit different than usual. I very much appreciated the way they pretty much roasted Miracle in the first season. She was doing too much, pretty much doing everything for likes. She was annoying for it... and guess what? Instead of the usual "Oh she's working haaard" they actually called her out for it many times. Like holy moly. It was really refreshing! It's something that, because of the virtual entertainer aspect of the anime specifically, was able to be played with to its maximum potential. It was able to be used as a learning moment for Miracle and others. By this season, it was really nice to see that Miracle had grown beyond likes and such. Not that I feel she earned every smidgen of attention she received, but her reward for not just being obsessed with likes was that people started to become attracted to her as a performer. I thought that while it's not a perfect anime, it does have something good to say about just focusing on your damn craft instead of worrying about clout. I even appreciated the side story with Niska. Creatives sometimes have multiple mediums they wish to create through. Asking someone to give up one completely is unthinkable sometimes. I'm really glad that Niska was able to leave and then pretty much return on their own terms. Because of that though, the group itself was able to grow as well on a personal level-- even allowing Pathlive to have their performance spot. And then wow, seeing the performances of the characters in general improve from the mess that was Miracle in the beginning-- and yes, it was intentional-- to where everyone is now was a great journey. There's a lot of good growth and pretty darn decent content to be had here. Coming in disliking it is going to make it a lot easier to look over those things. I think a lot of people are too focused on Kizuna and mad that she's not a fully featured character, but in the end, the anime is titled Kizuna's Allele, as in like Kizuna's Legacy/The Legacy of Kizuna. That should be pretty clear. It's about who comes after Kizuna AI, not Kizuna AI herself.
Overall, the anime was fine.

Enjoy your anime! | Witch Cafe Wisteria
