I don't usually write reviews, but this season left me with a lot of questions about the lore of the Bananya extended universe. (This contains spoilers)

The show's first season explores Bananya's depression and the need to understand his own puzzling existence. In this season we get to see more of this existentialism and delve into the puzzling world that is Bananya's home planet. However, I'm here to talk about some of the questions this season left me with.

In episode 10, Bananya and Droopy-eared bananya find a globe. This is an exact replica of the "big round thing in the sky", which is earth. However, ... this version of earth is missing the whole continent of Africa, and America is divided (central america is also missing). Is this the result of nuclear warfare? Is this also how the bananya planet came to be?

We see a mountain in the background of a lot of episodes. I noticed it has a face and the ability to emote, is it a sentient being? If that's the case, is the whole planet another being or is it just the mountain?

Zombie bananyas are recurring characters. Is this how the bananyas reached immortality? Is this why this Bananya is desperate to find ways out of this planet, into the "big round thing in the sky"? I believe this is rooted in his inability to understand his whole race's existence, half banana - half cat, conflicting halves.

Lastly, bananya and his friends encounter Lengendary Rainbow Bananya and Night Rainbow Bananya. These two grant Bananya's wish, which is to go to earth. Are they the bananya equivalent of god?

Honestly, I'm intrigued. I'm looking forward to more entries in the bananya extended universe. I personally think the Bananya Cult Bible is an interesting text for anyone who wants to go deeper into bananya lore, and maybe it would be worthy of an anime adaptation. I'll for sure be checking out the light novels.

I gave this a 10 because the ammount of enjoyment and pure happiness Tamako Market brought me has no comparison.
It slaps you with its cuteness in the face, and it never stops being cute.
The story is simple but wholesome, not much happens and you don't even realize it because you are so immersed in this comercial district and the ordinary life of this girl that you just let yourself go and enjoy.
Tamako market made me laugh, it made me cry, but most importantly it filled me with a sense of happiness I never thought I could experience watching a TV Show.
