There really isn't a more sincere and authentic anime out there today. The eccentric family 2 is a much-needed continuation of the universe masterfully crafted in The eccentric family season 1.

Story: 10/10
The eccentric family is one of those extremely rare anime where the story doesn't make any effort to spoonfeed it's audience explanations or justifications for what's happening. Watching the story unfold in this anime is like watching a river flow, you might not know the in-depth details of every little intricacy of the universe, but the flow of the story is that much better for it. The stories told in this anime are fun, ... light-hearted, relatable and incredibly genuine.

Art: 10/10
The art style, like the rest of the elements in this anime, is calming yet also incredibly deep. I would almost use the term therapeutic as it provides great continuity across many different settings where other styles come up short. Overall a great style for mid-air fight depictions or simply to watch the characters sit in a room and have an inspired dialogue.

Sound: 10/10
I usually don't notice the sound of an anime, or it gets drowned out by the other elements if they are good, but for The Eccentric family, the sound completely introduces another beautiful working element to the whole of the project. It's not the type of sound one might imagine an anime like this to have, being gritty and calming all at the same time, and it squarely ties everything together for a wonderful sensory experience.

Characters: 15/10
Where The Eccentric Family really shines is its characters. The development of each individual character in the show, even going as far as characters that only have a couple lines the entire show, is second to none. I find that this is due to the element that I mentioned above where characters don't spoon feed you the motives for what they do, so you're left as an audience to determine if Yasaburo is constantly thinking of everything or constantly thinking nothing at all being led by his fools blood.

Overall 10/10
I couldn't recommend an anime higher than The Eccentric Family Series, and that's really all I have to say about that.
