What's going on? I'm a 17 y/o Otaku chick who got struck on the head. Why am I now 8 years old and living in an opulent mansion in a positively Victorian society?
They are calling her Claes Catarina - “Cat”. Why does that sound familiar? Wait a minute❕ Pampered lifestyle setting… Her name... Bump on the forehead… This is all exactly like that game she played. Claes Catarina is the /Villainess/ of the game. She had four love interests:
1. Stuart Geordo. “As long as I'm at your side, I'll never know boredom in all of my days,” he assured her.
2. His younger twin brother, Alan, is in the mix. “Listen, it's not like I was lookin…

What a disappointment. The first season was a great feel good story where the main character tried to avoid their doom by making friends with everyone. This season though, every character just seems to be boiled down to just one character trait/gag they repeat constantly. It's the same as season one, but the gag you would see maybe a few times in season one is done multiple times an episode here. Everyone is always constantly fighting over Katarina, and it gets old quick. Even new characters just introduced quickly start pursuing her as well, in often pretty inappropriate ways. In the first season there was a bit of contention in addition to the normal plot, but the plot just isn't interesting in this season. I kinda had to force myself through this show, hoping something good would come o…

I loved season one, but I feel like something really important was lost between seasons. Season 1 made me so happy that we didn't have anyone trying to push Katarina too hard, but this season we have at least 4 moments when people crosses her boundaries completely. I felt absolutely betrayed by some characters. I don't know what happened or who was fired from season 1 to season 2, but I don't know if I wanna continue if it keeps going down this patch.
Since this type of gimmick is used again and again in romance animes, maybe most people won't think anything of it. But yeah, it rubbed me the wrong way.

in the first season, they tried to make the main character look like a clean-hearted person. (I think it was a failure)...
this season, the main character has become a mindless person. excesses should be avoided when creating a character. but I think the writers want to show the character as a god of goodness. this makes the character repulsive rather than believable.
other than that, the colors are beautiful but the animations are average. the story is not as interesting as in the first season (although the last episodes of the first season were very boring)
the characters are extremely boring and uniform, this problem has been like this since the middle of the first season.
when the main character turns 15, there is nothing left involved in character development. but still, it's not…

Objectively speaking, there’s nothing to this sequel. There’s no point in watching it. Nothing happens.
The core conflict of the story is resolved at the end of season 1. Catarina clears all of her death flags. She’s safe now. She’ll be fine. We’re done. Yet the show goes on for some reason. The conflict that is the literal title of the story gets resolved by episode 12, yet we’re treated to another 13 episodes of just slice of life nothingness.
Will you have a good time with this if you enjoyed S1 and emotionally invested in the characters? Yes, you will. Think of it like The Hobbit franchise. It’s much worse than LotR, but at least it’s a chance for you to revisit that world and spend some more time in it. That’s kind of what this is like. You’ll get to just spend some more time with t…

I like this anime and this genre in general. I'm also someone who rewatches series. During this, I'm re-evaluating series and characters. And one thing that has pushed the series down a notch over time for me is a certain character.
And no it's not the Pervy-Bear from Season 2 Ep09-12.
It's the first male lead, Geordo.
In Season 1 I already found him to be the worst of all "Conquerable Characters". But in Season 2 he got even more annoying I think.
I hope for season 3 he changes. Because I strongly doubt that MC is dating (Ending Up with) anyone else. The series won't be so "progressive" that she ends with any of the other girls, and for everyone else, who ends up with who has already been hinted at.
Alan = Mary
Nicol = Fray
Keith = Sophia/Maria/Ginger
Keith is the only one who hasn't had…

Potential Spoilers:

Seasons 2 starts out with none of the actual stakes that season 1 had, ( adapting to new life, understanding the perils, erasing the death flags, etc ) and doesn't really care to invent any new ones. I'd interpret most of these episodes as fan service if it weren't that I personally found them really dull. This whole show had a fun-loving denseness to it in Season 1 but at this point, it feels like watching an ever-present status quo with no payoff. None of the cast lets anyone else of the cast be alone with the protagonist unless it's convenient for the plot to forward.
There's an edgelord plot towards the end that I won't spoil but the resolution was about as satisfying as a cold plate of porridge.
Only at a few points does any relationship actually go i…

Season 1 started off with promise. An Isekai from a Villainess's perspective, a current trend. While Season 1 was enjoyable, since it dealt with Catarina trying to avoid her doom flags, Season 2 falls flat. There is no main plot of Season 2. Each episode is somewhat its own mini-sub-plot with no major correlation to the previous episodes (except some mini plot). Catarina's character was enjoyable in Seasons 1, however, in Season 2 I found her to be super annoying. There has been no character development in over 24 episodes (12+12). She has remained the same simple minded, dense, optimist. She has never realized how she impacted the storyline, nor any other character's feelings for her when it was blatantly obvious. She is always so focused on her doom flags that she never stops to think ab…

I need to start off by saying season one wasn't so bad. And since I watched season two right after season one, the bad qualities of this season were really highlighted in comparison to the last, not that it was perfect but definitely better than whatever they thought they were trying to accomplish in this season.
Firstly, any good story needs some sort of character development in order to feel like it's progressing somewhere. Absolutely nothing changed between seasons one and two. Everything ridiculous was kept intact, and there was little to no development in the characters and the storyline. It felt like all they were doing was stalling time for 12 episodes. In many areas it was totally unrealistic how the female lead would get out of situations (by asking for snacks, and being nice, se…

My daughter and I enjoyed Season 1 very much. It was cute, light and funny, and the characters were likeable and the progression of their relationships with the MC and why they all loved her were fairly believable within the suspension of disbelief that comes from knowing you're watching a harem anime. She actually did help them all grow and overcome some things, and they had an entire child- and teen-hood to become close to each other.
However, in Season 2 her cluelessness about their feelings for her was no longer excusable, cute or silly; it was extremely frustrating, particularly since some of them started getting much more forthright in their wooing. The "who are they going to fall for?" plot device cannot be stretched this thin without breaking. By episode 10 we were ready to throw…

I loved the first season. Never before had I seen such a carefree, bisexual, romantic comedy. Every element was done so well. This is, in large part, a worth sequel. In many ways it's an absolute catastrophe though. I'll just focus on what it screws up, as if you liked the first season you'll like this one (outside of stuff I mention)
First up let's talk about Geordo. He was just another suitor in the first season with his own motivations. His character gets more context in this season but all character depth is removed, he becomes someone who, on multiple occasions, forces himself on Katarina and the rest of the time demands that he owns her, that she's nothing more than a possession of his. He actually gets into an argument at one stage with the others where they're saying she's her own…

Wow, this is by far and away the worst sequel I've ever seen. I went into this with an open mind because I enjoyed the first season quite a bit, and was horribly disappointed with this. In retrospect, it was predictable that it would fail, because the second season really has no purpose apart from worshiping the main character.
None of the characters are memorable apart from the fact that they all like Katarina for one reason or another. I struggle to even remember their names; they literally barely even have a personality. That was more forgivable in the first season which did have a purpose, but the second season is all about the characters--and the weakness of the anime really starts to show.
This was a complete waste of time for me. Now the third season seems like it's going to be e…

I quite enjoyed season one even with the flaws. Im not particularly a fan of the stupid harem lead who never catches on that ppl are in love with them, but season 1 had charm, interesting plot, and backstory for the characters.
Season 2 is a complete waste of time. There is hardly any character development to be found. No plot. Its like watching a bunch of filler episodes. It's not very funny and as some said before alot of the characters come off as annoying. By halfway through the season i found myself skipping thru alot of the episodes.
If one really has to give it a try then watch a few episodes. If you find yourself enjoying then youll be fine with the rest, if you think they are boring then just stop cus it doesnt get any better.

The season of this anime is nothing but a disappointment compared to its predecessor season. The element (kidnapping, etc.) that has been used to progress the story has been recycled throughout the season. To put it simply-- it's plain boring and offers nothing new to the audience. I just continued watching it for the sake of completing this anime.
The harem genre often follows a certain pattern and is full of cliches.
MC *exist*
and then everyone falls in love.
They attempted to push the story forward by having character development (Nicol, Geordo, Keith, Mary), but they failed in the execution. Mary, specifically, gets more annoying. Sora is the only new character that has more depth than the established main cast.
OSTs and sound are pretty mediocre, and the only saving grace of this…

Honestly, this season was a disappointment. If it wasn't for Sora's story (which I loved) and the ending, it definitely wouldn't have been a 7. It was messy, mostly no explication given, boring and felt more like a filler than an actual season. The possesive harem gets more and more annoying, with Mary and prince Geordo becoming totally unlikeable in the end. It isn't funny anymore; it's just annoying and unecessary. Catarina's oblivion to anything romantic also becomes unamusing at some parts, like you just can't be THAT much of an airhead, you know?
Aside the downgrade of characters that sometimes are just straight up stupid and annoying (ahem, the older prince that has an obsession with his little brothers), the story also wasn't... anything. It wasn't really there. It tried to do some…

Otome Game no Hametsu Flag shika Nai Akuyaku Reijou ni Tensei shiteshimatta... X (2021)
Honestly, I did wonder where they would go with this season since it sort of ended last time. I thought maybe a spanner in the works but no it's just a reverse harem which is fine don't get me wrong but it has 100% detracted from the purpose of the anime in the first place. There is no doom route in this season until you see the end which has led to a movie but that is the very end.
This is just a reverse harem with a slice of life actions and an occasional 'oh no' moment. It is just a group of people doting on the main character constantly to a point of not being characters anymore rather more dogs barking love me.
Art wise it is a nice looking show, it does have flaws and drops quality drastically…

When you come to watch a harem series, you know basically what to expect: A dense MC, a cast full of characters that will love the MC, gags, troupes with reactions and phrases equal to their stereoype. Also, some of these shows can still make the viewer reflect, relate, root for a character to win because you developed symphathy by it, its not only pure entertaiment.
Hamefura S2 overuses the first part and completely ignore the last one.
The show ultimately lost it interesting premise of S1, the touching moments like in the irl side of the MC in S1, back there she had a purpose for her actions, she affected the other characters in a more meaningful way. Actions actually matters back then and the MC was committed, it had a purpose.
Now Hamefura S2 is unimaginative. It got worse. Every si…

So, Hamefura season 2, it's a solid anime and I enjoyed it. Its story was eh, but when you watch it, it's fun.
Art was great, sound wasn't really noticeable (imo) and the characters, oh man the characters. Since their gimmick was introduced in season 1, I wont really touch on that. So, the characters, they are very fun to watch and their interactions are hilarious, but their mindless obsession to Katarina just takes away points for me. I know that that is a trope in harem, but damn do they take it to the max, however, that's what makes the show good. Let me explain, the over the top character tropes are what makes the show enjoyable and fun to watch, but at the cost of the overall character rating.

It's more of the dense Black Hole Bakarina and her reverse-harem dousing comedy bits on your screen! And you'd think of this very question: "Catarina has already friendzoned everyone, and the supposedly doom flag is pretty much gone now, so where could Season 2 go at the very least?"
My answer to you: More relationship shenanigans with Catarina being love-blocked at every corner, especially with her love interests solidified that is Geordo, the adopted brother Keith, and the rest of the character cast whom doesn't want to let Catarina go for their own embellishments. And embrace it with fun, laughter and happiness...down by a notch.
To compare the story elements between both seasons, Season 2 takes a noticeably deeper dive into the side quest that is the whole "dark magic" realm with the…

Hamefura X is basically everything from season 1, improved and turned up several notches. In short, if you liked season 1, you’ll love the second season as the stakes, plot and characterisation see dramatic improvements.
Hamefura season 1 was one of the most talked about shows of 2020. It was really a breath of fresh air for the isekai genre. There hadn’t been many otome style isekai, focusing on female MC’s with harems. There was comedy, a ditzy MC and lots of fun slice of life moments. While the season was great, I feel it lacked depth at times. I struggled to really get an idea of the direction of the story other than Bakarina having to eventually choose who she’d be with romantically.
This season did a much better job of advancing the overall story, developing Bakarina and the side…
