The second season gets more horny, dumb, and trashy, and it ends up being a bit more fun overall. You can expect the same sort of dramatic plot, entertaining (and overbearing) worldbuilding, and silly harem moments that the first season did a good job at, and I can't say that I'm disappointed here. But I do have to say that I had to strengthen my suspension of disbelief here. The world of STB gets crazier at a fast pace, and it does seem like the way the story keeps trying to one-up itself makes it all feel very chaotic, maybe a bit too much. Still, it's a fun popcorn romp that I will happily devour.

Congratulations, you’re among the rare (or perhaps particularly dedicated) crowd who’ve gone out of their way to seek out and watch the second season of Strike the Blood, which bypassed a regular TV release and went straight to OVA. Compared to Season 1, it’s pretty clear why it didn’t air on television: the fanservice and suggestive content are turned up to an even more blatant level. There are moments so over-the-top that even I had to pause and go, “wow, they really went there.”
In my review of the first season, I mentioned how the show sticks to a safe, formulaic structure: Kojou and his crew reacting to threats that pop up on their island. Season 2 seems to be self-aware of this pattern and makes a light attempt to raise the stakes, but only slightly. We’re finally given an explanati…

When it comes to plot, this franchise is basically dead from the start. I was expecting something different from season 2 but it turn out to be the same as season 1.
Some villain come in to destroy the city and MC stopping them from it, MC lose on the first battle and come back after drinking some blood from the heroine unlocking new familiar and defeat the enemy.
So yeah every episode I have this "Ah shit, here we go again" kind of feel to it, just like season 1.
Season 2 introduced some new heroines so it's bearable for me to watch, also the fanservice help me from dropping the series. There is nothing new going on with the relationship between the MC and the heroines. All they do is kiss and drink some blood stuff, which is basically nothing at this point.

They are fairly good at staying consistent with this season and the last. The overall feel of the world and characters are just as good as the last season and they even started building on the world and organizations working in the background so I enjoyed that a lot.
The characters felt great and their interactions are just as enjoyable as the last season, everything has a good flow to it and feels natural. They handle lewd scenes very well too and even creating comedy that made me laugh more then a few times within those scenes and that is always a bonus.
One issue that carries over to this season is the lack of Main character growth since he is still not really improving in combat at all and usually standing still watching the entire time while someone else is risking their life which…

Strike the Blood as a series is one of LA's favourite battle harems in quite a while along with Campione!. The anime series gave off a To aru Majutsu no Index vibe under differing circumstances, you know like how Taboo Tattoo tried to do it and failed at it. Ramblings aside, did Strike the Blood II succeed from it's first season?...or did it go in the ways of Taboo Tattoo?...
Strike the Blood II follows the same arc system as the first season, this time consisting of 8 episodes spanning 3 arcs covering Swords-Shaman of Shadow (3 episodes), The 4th Progenitor on the run (2 episodes) and the Knight of Sinful God arc (3 episodes).
Swords-Shaman of Shadow arc consisted of a new harem member that Kojou meets during a beach episode by the name of Yume Eguchi voiced by Nao Touyama whom Kojou tr…
