Season 1: 6/10
The continuation of the 'Familiar of Zero' series, 'Zero no Tsukaima: Futatsuki no Kishi' fairs slightly better than the first season in some aspects, but not by much. The previous season had some problems with one of the said problems being an uninteresting story. Another problem to address from the previous season would be the uninteresting characters, however this second season makes an attempt to spice up the story, and it does itself some justice...
Story: 6/10
Much like the first season, the second season of the 'Familiar of Zero' series doesn't really have much of a exciting story. The story is still very cliched and predictable. The last episode of this season was a little like that of the first season, which lead to me saying, "Of course."
However to the shows cre…

1st season was better.
No matter how good improvement the animation of this season is, the story must take precedence.
The characters became a bit perverted, from my notice, compared to the 1st season. the hero tries advances to girls that would haven't been done in the previous season. the heroine blushes to some handsome character, suddenly helpless against stranger's advances. both demeans the encounter, moments and experience they had on season 1.
though the comical side is still good, the characters were changed if not destroyed for the sake of the story. If they were to remain unchanged, it is apparent they take up an advance in their relationship, the producers unwilling to take for the continuation of this franchise.
In this season, more battles, inferred slaughters, introduct…

To be honest , i was quite shock at how well the second season is . Even though i hate when the fan service events pop up because i felt like these fan service on Zero no Tsukaima always happen like every 5 minutes . I don't hate fan service . What i hate is how many times does these fan service always shows up . If it were like 4-5 times , i wouldn't mind . Although this fan service stop a bit after a bit of episodes . Anyway , back to the review .

Cheers! To a seconds season with more explosions than a Michel Bay movie! No but seriously that school should invest in bomb suits…
The story of the second season seems to be a lot more aimed at character development under the impending situations that is picked up where season 1 left off. Despite all that’s going on, there still seems to be a lot of times you’re not sure if you’re watching a bad harem, magical romance or cringe worthy comedy. However within all this, it was much better paced out than its prequel even so, there are the occasional parts that a very easily predicted
The art and styles at first glance don’t seems to have changed much. But upon closer inspection background and scenery seem to be a lot better than simple cell shaded pigments that look like an elementary schoo…

Season in mainly
about the war between Albion and Tristain. But don't understand this wrong,
Its not ALL war. Because there is Comedy in this anime (LOTS OF IT) and it also
has its serious and intense moments. And some moments were you just think WTF!
this anime has it all! An amazing story, good art, and most importantly, well
something That I feel is important that a lot of animes lack,
Deaths of characters that you just love. Now dont get me
wrong, I'm not for characters dying, but it gets all too boring when
you can predict what happens in an anime. and this is not one of those animes.
which is exactly why I love it so much.
The Genres of this anime or season are; : Action, Adventure, Comedy, Ecchi,
Fantasy, Magic, Romance, School life and of course Harem!
Now that is a lot of genres.…

Zero no Tsukaima: Futatsuki no Kishi, the sequel to the previous season is the continuation of the epic saga of Saito Hiraga and Louise Valliere.
The invasion of Tristain has been pushed back thanks to Louise and Saito and an ueasy calm settles over the land. Louise begins to practice Void Magic while Saito, having given up his chance to go home to Japan, tries to find ways to fill his time. But the wars are not over. The peaceful lull is but the calm before the storm, and soon Queen Henrietta must make a terrible choice between a temporary peace and a preemptive invasion of Albion. Either way, Tristain is soon to be embroiled in war once more, and “Zero” and her Familiar will be right in the middle of it.
The story is relatively new in some ways. New characters are introduced like pret…

Well for starters let me just say that I've just recently gotten into watching anime. As a 17 year old boy, I never really figured that this show would appeal to me. In fact, when I listed the few that I had watched and liked people tried to dissuade me from this genre.
I ended up watching it after marathon watching TTGL and Code Geass for the first time, and then feeling really depressed at the end of both of them. I wanted something silly yet enjoyable and I figured I would give this a try.
At the beginning of season one I was like... lame. I can't stand Harry Potter (bear with me, I'm not saying its a Harry Potter knock off), so I was kind of put off by the whole magic school thing. But I stuck through it and ended up watching the whole first season in two sittings. After the first fe…

I was reluctant to watch this series. It was on my to watch list for about a year. But tonight i've watched the first two seasons through and through and now i'm telling myself that i should have watched this so much sooner.
The story really reminds me of fullmetal alchemist brotherhood. And in a lot of ways it is. To simplify, Zero no Tsukaima is like an opposite of fullmetal. Where fma had a lot of action and little romance, this has a similar story that is heavy on the romance and light on the actual action. And there's a purpose for this. Fma most likely had a budget 2 maybe 3 times as big as the producers here. Thus we don't get a masterpiece like fma but it's still a really well done anime.
But i do have some gripes with this show, especially with this season. It seems like most…

Honestly I love the ZnT series, there's just something about it, I can tell it wasn't some rushed second season, they actually sat down and planned it. What I liked most was that they found a way to continue the plot in a way that continued the first one with the war, I'm just glad they didn't make a whole new story that came from nowhere which can be an easy mistake to make and people should really apreciate that more. Some people like to nit pick at it and complain but thats just because they want to have something to whine about, if one things fixed then something else is wrong, just be happy we're getting more seasons. The ending really got to me, I loved seeing them finally admit how much they really care for each other, and what saito did (not spoiling it) almost made me and a lot of…

Futatsuki no Kishi, the second season of Zero no Tsukaima takes us back to the magical world where Louise and her familiar Saito continue their adventures. The first season was pretty entertaining and that hasn’t changed much in the second one either. The problem with season two is that most of the episodes follow an individual plot and build up the main storyline slower than what we have encountered in season one. There’s action going on, sure, but the whole bang starts during the last few episodes. Some may not care as much, but it will undoubtedly turn off a couple of less tolerant viewers.
Surprisingly enough, Saito and Louise’s relationship hasn’t changed much. From the very first episode it seems that they’re back to square one and Louise quickly goes back to whipping Saito as if no…

Zero no Tsukaima: Futatsuki no Kishi (ZnT2 for short) is a sequel to the adapted anime Zero no Tsukaima and deals with their stories right after the first season's ending.
ZnT and ZnT2, for me, is generally a breather away from the harsher animes and just to have fun with (similar to how I treat Hayate no Gotoku!) but the 2nd season has improved greatly in terms of drama and, well.. deteriorated in some departments
This season is actually good but the respectable male lead, Hiraga Saito, has gone from manly guy to pervert, I mean seriously, this spoils a whole lot of everything. Whenever huge boobs show up, he MUST notice it. Hell I don't even remember being such a perverted guy when I was his age, I know he's a healthy boy but MUST HE NOTICE EVERY BREAST IN THE WHOLE WORLD? The second t…

Zero no Tsukaima Futatsuki no Kishi delivers everything and more than I expected from the prequel, the story it's basically the same but that doesn't mean it's bad, the art on this one it's pretty impressive with not so linear characters, Saito is much like a pervert but holds a little when Louise it's present, and Louise it's still a hardheaded girl and selfish brat that keeps abusing Saito.
Well you either love it or hate and so far I've liked it a lot it has outdone the first entry and with strong romance and comedy you have an outstanding anime and will always be one of the best.

I will be very honest here: I enjoyed the first season immensley. I thought it was creative and unique, and proved that the story could get much, much deeper. Admittingly, I had very high expectations for the second season, and I walked away greatly dissapointed.
Art/Sound: Pretty much the same from the first season, but this time around it was very clear they spent more energy on the art than the story. As far as sound goes, it isn't memorable, but it is fitting for the right scenes.
Story/Character: I'll be brutally frank, there are about at most 4 episodes worth watching (possibly 3). A large part of the story this season revolves around a recently introduced character (Agnès Chevalier de Milan) who though is shown great detail, also portrays no growth whatsoever. *SPOILER: Expe…

As a sequel to the highly entertaining Zero no Tsukaima, I had expected a continuation of the first season with more fleshed out stories, more character development, and just overall better material than what Futatsuki no Kishi provided. Don't get me wrong, the second season doesn't fail, it still provides a decent story with plenty of comedy and lplenty of fan service to back it up, but what Futatsuki mainly lacks is consistency. I feel as though Futatsuki could have stood alone as an entirely different series, as it seems as though if the characters were placed in a situation where they met their first season counterparts, they would barely recognize themselves.
Story: 5
While I'd recommend watching the first season first (for obvious reasons), I think that really, it wouldn't be too ha…

Everything I said of the first season applies for this second season, except that there are less "laughing times":
" The story is another cliché that we've seen a lot and this time it really is bad. The main story has as many plot holes as you can imagine (without taking into consideration how bad it is itself). The visual quality is really bad taking into consideration that it's not that old of an anime.
The character development is almost non existent and for the ones that do develop it is really bad. A lot of characters make an appearance without the proper relations to the story and that makes it almost idiotic.
Except for one case, everyone is either good or evil so you know where it's going to end with anyone.
The music is really stupid and even though it goes with the "atmos…

I thought Zero no Tsukaima would provide nothing more than shallow entertainment, and I was quite wrong ... but its sequel, I decided, couldn't possibly live up to the standard set by the original. After all, Zero's effectiveness as a story may have been a fluke, a fortunate accident.
Fluke it was not, all told. I'd still recommend the series to anyone whose tastes seem to run in the general direction of fantasy/harem romance/politics. But despite its strong latter episodes, Futatsuki no Kishi does suffer from a few weaknesses its predecessor managed to keep to a minimum or avoid entirely.
Plot: Again we join Louise and her hapless familiar Saito at the Tristain Academy, where their relationship has grown marginally stronger. I have no complaints with how the whole inevitable Saito/Louis…

This isnt a review as such, but a comparison to the first season (as this is what i wanted to see when i was looking whether to watch the second season or not)
well the advantages is that its a continuation of the anime - so you see the characters again, more action, romance etc. theres also more characters (which are more your confidence determined rock solid women), you find out secrets, and the princesses character is developed more.
i found the animation more crisp in the second series as well. the storyline at the end was more emotional and more action in the second season as well.
it did still continue the good humour, storyline and humour too.
however, there were many set backs.
firstly the humour was much more ecchi. (though that could be an advantage for some). some acts got a b…

5 WORDS OR LESS REVIEW: Needs a third season
As a whole, Zero no Tsukaima’s first season seems better than the second season. If I didn’t like the first season, then that would mean that I probably wouldn’t like the second season, right? Then how come I like the second season more than the first? Read on and I’ll tell you why.
The story obviously needed work. I think the problem was that they tried to fit in many different storylines at a time. There was Saito and Louise’s relationship, the ongoing war with Albion and there was Anies’ story too. Each story would have been potentially better as stand alones, especially Anies’ story, but a combination of the three isn’t such a good idea. All three at once can be too much, maybe one or two at…

I suppose it's inevitable that Futatsuki no Kishi, being a second season of Zero no Tsukaima, will be compared to the first in one way or another, especially since it's pointless to start the series here, but I'll try to appraise its own merits as well.
As implied by the ending of the first season, FnK is a direct continuation of the story. Several new characters are introduced almost immediately, and, while I don't have anything against them, I'd like to point out that they (most notably Agnes) take up quite an amount of screen time with their own subplots, leaving less for the overall story. Thankfully, they aren't dragged out for too long. Particularly refreshing is the noticeable advance in Saito and Louise's relationship, during which several important questions are raised and decisi…
