It has a slight increase in quality but feels the same.
It starts out pretty strong and everything happens so fast.
The following story is also interesting.
It's all so confusing to follow along but still an amazing story and gets very mysterious as it goes on.
There's a lot of amazing scenes and even sweet moments between characters.
The action scenes are still great.
The ending is even more mysterious and gives preface to the next part.
It's wonderfully pieced together that I'm sad to have had binged it.
Perhaps I'll restrain myself a bit more for the next part.

a show where people say things that dont make sense and expect you'll just go along with it. managing to fit one story arch over 12 episodes, focusing largely on characters namedropped in the first season but not fully elaborated on (frankly we were given false information about a lot of them, not something ill elaborate on here.) this season focuses mostly on a mystery plot, who is the child of god. even on repeat watches, most of what happen doesn't make a lot of sense, but there's some interesting enough if heavily derivative storytelling working in the background that manages to prevent the show from completely falling apart.
of considerable importance though, when this was live airing, there were many production issues. if memory serves, this originally came out when covid was gettin…

To summarize 2nd season of this anime:-
Animation:- 10/10, fits the fantasy style perfectly combined with the story it feels peak fantasy every episode
Story:-9/10
After 1st season's end the 2nd season goes more into the what you would accept from fantasy anime with a merge of romance and feels a little low quality, since anime goes from aura framing and ending hate to tragic fantasy romance with a good ending and how main character saves the day,
Honestly it was little let down it's not that there are focusing on plot and lore but just after 1st season know for its aira framing moments to romance how did we reach this point. It's good story with good plot twist but personally I wanted more aura framing moments than a romance that was so good in fact I remember season with more romance…

From an overall standpoint compared to season 1 it's quite a nosedive, and even when looking at this season by its own two legs, it's clearly not that great of a show. Some of the animations for it can get choppy, especially during one of the "lesser important" fights where it is honestly pretty hard to even look at. Even then that said, I will say that the story being told and some of the more drama or emotional beats of this season do somewhat balance out the lackluster action and exciting moments that are heavily missed compared to season 1. But just because it balances it out doesn't mean it's still a "good" show, since even with the good and bad things together it is honestly just pretty "okay" and "fine" of a show. Now personally, I did enjoy the more built-up drama and emotional bea…

I found the first season of this anime simply mediocre, but not enough to say that it wasn't entertaining to watch. Therefore, when I got to this second season, I was really expecting the same thing: a mediocre anime with a super powerful protagonist and little touches of comedy. However, in this case I was surprised. It went from being a simple generic anime with a very broken character to becoming an anime with a very interesting and deep lore story. Still, I don't feel like any big dangers really occur during the adventure, and the plot feels very linear. But at least it's no longer completely mediocre, mainly because it now feels like its world is a rich and vast place, with many stories to tell. Most of the characters still seem very flat to me, but there are small exceptions in which…

It was fine, surely much poorer than the first in my perspective, but I'm also annoyed by the current male voices, makes it sound like someone is reading a boring book, maybe if this voices were from the start or at least as they are in this season does not fully suit this characters (just an impression).
I insisted on this because somehow this topic was a bit of a boomer for enjoying the series :(
It also gives the feeling that somehow there is a change of personality for the characters.
Besides that, the theme is kept, though it kind of jumps straight forward into way to much mixed storylines from the start and the fight scenes become intense all of a sudden.
Animation and art work is kept and suited

This is an entertaining if not entirely coherent second season (part 1). What I chalk its shortcomings up to is a convoluted and overtuned plot. I guess it's somewhat refreshing to have an isekai really emphasize its story compared to others that rush headlong into the common tropes while emphasizing the temporary appeal of magic and action. But I can't say I enjoyed questioning just what was really happening and why several times an episode. As far as the animation and music go, they feel rather standard if not above average. Characters-wise, I can't say that anyone really stuck out as interesting. That's probably thanks to the plot. Anos remains the driving force of engagement I have in this series, so I guess I'll see if the anime gets better.

Overall, this anime is great. The storyline is not only entertaining but also captivating, with twists and turns that keep you on the edge of your seat. The animation is top-notch, bringing the characters and their unique abilities to life in a visually stunning way. The humor sprinkled throughout adds a light-hearted touch to the otherwise intense plot. The combat scenes are well-choreographed and exhilarating to watch, showcasing the characters' skills and powers in a way that is both thrilling and impressive. And let's not forget about the romance, which adds an extra layer of depth to the story, making it even more engaging for viewers.
If you are in search of an anime that will keep you entertained and invested from start to finish, look no further than this one. With a protagonist w…

At the start of the 2023rd year of our Lord, SILVER LINK. gave us a sequel to the fairly well-received Misfit of Demon King Academy anime.
I’m gonna be straight with you, dog. It’s not great. That’s not to say it’s bad. It’s just not great. There’s nothing really new or interesting added, all the same conflicts and tropes from the first season get rehashed and reused, which wouldn’t even be that big of a deal if they were somehow still kept fun, à la Die Hard 2 or Taken 2, but what we get instead is something more along the lines of Speed 2 or Zoolander 2. Ok, that’s perhaps a little harsh – ok, fine, extremely harsh – but you get my point. It’s more of the same, but worse, while lacking the novelty and mystique of the first. Think Obama’s 2nd presidential campaign and you’ll have the rig…

The anime was good at first, but it took a turn for the worst in the second season. Expectations were betrayed, and it's filled with some random crap. It could have been better if the author maintained the flow of the first season. When the first episode came out, I was super hyped, but as I progressed, it became bad. The last four episodes were too cramped. The only good thing was the animation quality. The usage of power by Avos delhevia was very disappointing. Also hero canons actions were a disappointment as well. He was so good in the first season.If only it had maintained the vibe :'(

I might be in the minority in that I thought the first season was 'fine' it was enjoyable, but it used too many familiar tropes and wasn't special enough and didn't do enough to set itself apart from many fantasy/isekai/reincarnation OP MC plot anime.
So for me I enjoyed Season 2 more than I did Season 1 because it stepped away from much of that, the characters are still the same, except we don't have to go through their backstories and faux betrayals, instead we can just enjoy them for who they are.
One issue with season 1, was the bloated character roster, but for season 2 you can't just Thanos Snap away most of the bloated cast, so it has to find ways around this. The 'cheerleading squad' is left behind so we get a tighter focus on the characters, and many of the still expansive cast…

The first season was quite a unique story, and I came to love it.
But in the second season, I was thinking to myself, 'Why am I watching the anime?'
I couldn't tell why the story was continuing. The story was quite messed up.
The art style was not that bad, but I don't think I liked it. In the story, every character came off as if they were the strongest characters in the anime, but they got devastated by the demon king. If they are meant to be destroyed, then why are you portraying them like they are the big deal? I mean, in a story, how many times can you put a villain and the situation that looks like they are going to destroy the world and looks stupid by the demon king? I don't think anyone who saw the first season would think in their head, 'This is a good story.' I didn't enjoy th…

I'm an isekai junkie so I am also naturally going to gravitate over to the overpowered fantasy anime as well.
Misfit of demon king academy is the typical over powered main character but better. I mean the story is by no means better than many fantasy and isekai stories. It still pulls you in with the badass op mc.
The first season of the misfit of demon king academy was amazing (for the source) The VA for anos fit perfectly and the animation and sound quality were both very good.
The second season was a bit of a disappointment I would say. It wasn't as big a disappointment as shield hero season 2 but it def wasnt what I was super hyped waiting for.
Part 1 or eps 1-6 of season 2 were just not good. The subtitles had the wrong names, the story took a sudden turn with next to no explana…

I liked the first season, but the second season took a nosedive. It went from pretty good Overpowered MC anime to just nonsensical in season two. The whole rumors and traditions thing seems confusing and arbitrary, and in the end really seems like it was more created to drive the plot than to plausibly explain how an entire race works. It's possible that this is the reason that the spirit race appears to only actually be a handful of entities, though there is no explanation for why only those rumors and traditions were personified.
They spend a TON of time in the time travel arc, most of which feels wasted. It's a significant number of the total episodes, just to start one rumor so that they can lean even further into this implausible idea that spirits can just be erased from existence if…

One-Misfitted Man.
The first season of The Misfit of Demon King Academy balanced a fine line between the satire of the overpowered magical high school chunibyo light novel protagonist just like what One-Punch Man did for Shonen battle manga, and just more mediocre light novel bollocks that must be taken seriously by the viewer. I couldn't tell the difference and I genuinely enjoyed the complete and utter “Did you really think stopping time is enough to stop me?” nonsense of Anos Voldigoad.
Unfortunately, season 2 answered my question and the answer is mediocre light novel bollocks that the viewer must take very seriously because this is now a serious story for serious people. The charm of the first season has been replaced with po-faced melodrama and a mystery plot involving a mysterious…

The misfit of Demon king Academy Season 2 Cour 1 Review!
In this part, the central characters will be Shin - the right hand of Anos and Spirit Mother Leno, their love story is so beautiful.
For those who haven't read the light novel, it will be a bit difficult to understand, but don't give up because from season 2 cour 2 there will be no more confusing plot twists , more battle scenes and especially Anos will show a lot and even more strong magics !!
My review after watching episode 12 is that it's really good .And anime is what made me read light novels.This series is always in the top 1 of the anime I want to watch first when it airs .
Scores :10/10 for me.

This anime is incredibly awful. Characters are non-existent. Story makes zero sense. This is main hero D riding distilled to its pure form. There is absolutely no reason to watch this. If you do, then you'll forget about this waste of human labor in a month at most.
The first season had some actually funny moments at the start, considering how ridiculous it was in handling literally everything, to the point that it made me think it's a parody. And then somewhere around ep 4, I realized it's actually taking itself seriously. This is when I knew that humanity is doomed. I have no idea how we got here, but we actually live in a world where this level of anime is allowed to exist.
Yes, I know. You want to be overpowered and bend reality with a snap of fingers. Cool story bro. If you watch en…

So… I kind of knew during season 1 that this show was bound to be a flash in the pan. It’s the kind of show that survives on power fantasy as a way to both hook and maintain an audience, and I thought it worked pretty well S1. The humor was pretty solid, especially when it came to reactions to our lead character Anos Voldigoad. But the cracks were starting to show even then as the opponents ramped up and absurd abilities became increasingly more absurd. That’s kind of the point, but there’s only so far you can take it before it all starts to run together.
And that’s the note S2 starts on. Admittedly, it’s not a bad start, with some pretty solid mind games to push our characters in a different way before a series of “I knew you would do that so I had this planned from the beginning!” start…

Drinking Game: Take a shot every time “Ni sen nen mae/2000 years ago” is mentioned in this show.
No, but in all seriousness, after all the delays and production issues it was nice to have Maou Gakuin S2 back. The first half was pretty subpar in terms of pacing and story, but episodes 7-12 were a massive improvement and probably the best the series has been. The time travel arc had several emotional story beats that just really worked well. The pacing and action were really good, and the character development that side characters like Shin and Reno got was impressive.
I’m not sure how much of the first half’s issues were just weak writing or how much was based on production issues, but it is a bit of a slog to get through the first half. I’d say it’s very much worth it for the story we…

Me in Summer 2020: Maou Gakuin's a fire show, with the gigachad of Anos VoldiGOAT, he's rocking asses with a harem and a fan club that adores everything about him, and he respects everyone to the max!
Me in Summer 2023: Maou Gakuin's a disaster show, yikes. Aniplex's continued mismanagement of COVID, which saw this show (and Ayakashi Triangle) infamously delayed by almost half a year, and the worst offender of all: VA Tatsuhisa Suzuki's BIGGEST scandal of his life being ousted from the AniManga scene altogether, replaced by Yuichiro Umehara as the gigachad's new VA...that doesn't sound quite right.
