If you absolutely loved the first season and thought it was flawless, you are probably going to hate the second season because it changed a lot of stuff. If you thought the first season was slow and it pissed you off how much they gatekept certain aspects of the world you will enjoy the second season a lot more. I think both opinions are valid, it really just comes down to taste. I don’t think this is a 10/10 show by any means but the people who are reviewing it at under a 6 are trippin because it’s still a great show and is very unique compared to any anime I’ve seen. I think the thing that makes people mad is that it feels like it is SO CLOSE to being a 10/10 but just gets held back by writing issues. Like I said though, it’s still think it’s a 6/10 good show at worst, even if these issu…

Fumetsu no Anata e Season 2 remains a strong continuation of the series and earns an 8/10 overall. The emotional core of the story is still intact, and the themes of immortality, loss, and human connection continue to hit hard. The animation and soundtrack do a great job supporting the mood, and Fushi’s development as a character feels meaningful as he slowly gains a deeper understanding of the world and the people in it.
That said, one of my main issues with this season is how new characters are introduced. While some of them are interesting on their own, the way they are added to the story feels rushed or awkward at times, making it harder to emotionally connect with them. Compared to Season 1, where characters felt more naturally integrated and impactful, Season 2’s cast additions fee…

Did this season take me 3 years to finish? Yes, yes it did. Was it still good? Yes, yes it was.
I won't deny that the first half of this season I wasn't loving as much as season 1, hence why I threw it on hold for 3 years. But I finally came back to it as season 3 started and I got possessed to watch it. I'm pleasantly surprised by this season, and it really came around by the end. Season 1 is still better by like, miles, but it was still a good story all around. And being reunited with old characters has its own catharsis to it too.
It won't say this season was great, it wasn't. But I can't ignore that I still quite enjoyed this and that it's still worth watching. So in my eyes, It was good enough for me that I sat and binged about 6-8 episodes in one sitting to finish it, that's how…

Reseña de To Your Eternity - Temporada 2 (sin spoilers directos) (español)
A pesar de que el final de esta segunda temporada no es el más impactante ni el más óptimo para cerrar la historia en este punto, tampoco diría que es malo. Simplemente, se siente un poco flojo en comparación con todo el desarrollo emocional que se venía construyendo. No quiero entrar en detalles para evitar spoilers, pero desde mi humilde opinión, la conclusión fue lo menos destacable de esta entrega.
La historia continúa en la misma isla donde terminó la primera temporada, pero esta vez han pasado aproximadamente 40 años desde la muerte de Pyoran. Durante este largo período, Fushi ha estado entrenando incansablemente para prepararse ante la amenaza constante de los Nokkers, enemigos recurrentes y peligrosos que…

Honestly, the animation, pacing and execution is just horrible compared to the 1st season.
First off, I really hated the recaps, though the recaps were initially quite good in the first season, were written well, and made you look forward to what would happen after the intro, (though, it did get kind of repetitive after the first five episodes and gradually stopped adding as much), it eventually stopped at a certain point when it just seemed unnecessary, THIS season however, has those recaps for EVERY episode, and not only is there nothing interesting added in any of what is said during those recaps, it just gives a poor sum up of the previous episode in the most bland way possible.
In the first season, the recaps kinda hyped me up, but here it just felt like dead filler begging to be sk…

I guess it's my fault to have a pretty high expectations coming from season 1
especially after experiencing such nice stories about character like Parona, March, Gugu, and Pioran.
Although some parts in season 1 have weak elements for me like The Beholder
constantly explaining things everytime he appears and The Nokkers coming out of nowhere
just to be a problem the characters need to deal with.
But regardless I still like this series enough to see where it goes.
Then going to season 2, I like at the start when it shows how depressed and struggled Fushi after
having many people he cares dies before him so that he no longer wanna have interaction with other human
being until he finally comes to terms with that fact and then keep moving forward.
After that the story continues to deal…

This is such an out-of-the-world, completely original storyline, that I will always remain impressed with.
The story revolves around Fushi - an immortal being, who learns and grows from experiences and relationships with others. Season 1 had me crying nearly episode, while in season 2, we see a more humanly-developed version of Fushi, who strives to make good friends.
It was heart-warming seeing the people who care about Fushi, albeit some in a near destructive way (aka Guardians), and we get a special character (Bon) who literally is the linchpin of this season. He was able to understand and communicate with Fushi like no others could, except Fushi's old friends in S1, and always gave him support when he needed it.
Overall, this anime is just a really really good-watch, and it won't b…

I feel like this show has almost completely changed between the two seasons. S1 was all about an animated orb learning to transform into objects, animals and people around it and, over the course of the season, slowly building himself into something resembling a human himself. Sure, it had its pacing issues later in, and I still think it peaked in episode 1, but the journey felt rather clear: Fushi would have to learn to live his immortal life, and would have to deal with the mortality of those around him. This season felt... a little directionless for much of its run. It carried over the pacing issues from last season writ large, and just made the central villains the Nokkers, which is fine, but contributes to the lack of heart in this season. They're faceless enemies with a goal that rec…

One emotion reigned supreme for me while watching this new season and it was disappointment. Season 1 was captivating and felt like a breath of fresh air, while this one seemed like a cringey run-of-the-mill isekai.
The first few episodes were an absolute mess, to put it simply. The writers seemed like they didn't know what to do with the story anymore. The plot was going nowhere and it felt like we were at a stand still wondering what's next. It only seemed like we were getting somewhere after the 8th episode. Mind you the writing was still shit, and I kept turning off my brain whenever a conversation not about the nokkers was going on.
Fushi's character "development" was the worst part of this thing, and that's saying a lot with how everything was a fucking hot mess. He went from bei…

Honestly, I didn't have high expectations for season 2 after the first few episodes. The time skip stuff has always been very confusing for me as a viewer, and it definitely took some time to pick up, but it got to a good place in the end. Not all of the supporting main characters are very likable, as they don't have much time to develop, but there was one character in particular who carried the supporting cast for most of the series: Bon.
Although what made him such a unique character just...seemed to vanish in the last few episodes, his arc was wonderful to follow. It was clear that the arcs of some of the other characters fell short, like Eko, who never really had a proper conclusion, and the minute or two of summary for Fushi's friends in the last episode also could have been done bet…

To Your Eternity Season 2. Kind of boring honestly. The emotional impact of the first season is gone. Fushi's character development never goes past where he left off. He's still basically a mindless, bumbling infant who never understands anything. He's just a walking plot device. The first half of the season is him experiencing hundreds of years of travel and reading, gaining no new friends, no new experiences, and definitely zero amount of wisdom or self-discovery. Eventually he goes on a training arc, and defends a large city-state from a horde of nokkers, but there's zero suspense since he's immortal after all.
The first season was known for it's emotional, character-driven story arcs. You got to know each character on a personal level, their struggles and aspirations, along with their…

The Eternity Devil.
Whilst emotionally and trapping himself on an island of existential depression, the march of time continues forward for everyone but Fushi. The tribe whose leader tried to contain him has turned into a weird cult that follows him under the guise of guardians, and religion is starting to take a grip on the population. A religion that sees Fushi as the devil because his existence contradicts their scripture and is starting to make people worship him over them. There’s also that whole Nokker problem, which has started to attack communities to draw Fushi out from hiding.
Whilst the first season was a rollercoaster of emotional gut punches and tragedies along a line of seemingly coincidental events, the second season focuses on Fushi integrating back into human society, an…

I thought to your eternity season 1 was overrated and dragged on for too long but good god was season 2 SO SO much better. At first I thought it was going to be worse but I loved watching it so much. I would of liked it even more if I rewatched season 1 again before starting season 2 but it was still fantastic. That ending made me tear up a little ngl. After hundreads of years of death pain and suffering, to finally be able to be happy was such a nice change of pace from the previous 45-ish episodes of an endless cycle of despair. The pacing and story was just perfect this time, the characters were all 10/10s. I originally hated that purple guy (insert fnaf joke here) but by the end of it he became my most respected character. I couldn't bring myself to rewatch season 1 & 2 in one go but a…

First of all. The guidelines state that readers don’t care how a show made you feel, however to completely ignore the emotional weight of this show in favor of more quantifiable measurements would do be a disservice to both the readers and the show. In those categories the show is excellent. It is technically solid in every aspect. However it is the emotions that it elicits that raise this show to masterpiece levels.
In comparison to the first season, season 2 was admittedly a bit of a slow burn. The characters honestly don’t draw you in as instantly. However as time goes on, we see the writers skill in character creation. It reminded me of a stew or some kind of roast— the flavors required a while to really develop, however once it did, this season rose to or even exceeded the last. Bon…

While not as much of a masterpiece as the first season this still is better than most of the things coming out.
I could make this review negative, talk about the issues I had with the overall plot, the way it twists itself with new information to solve problems instead of having setup, the way it expands its scope from this deep character driven narrative to a broad plot to its own detriment. But I am not going to do that because this is still heads and shoulders above everything else that I see coming out.
I have a habit of taking things I should love and breaking them down cause I hold them to a higher standard: I tear last of us 2 to shreds when it is heads and shoulders better than whatever skinner boxes are coming out from other companies; I often critique berserk for its use of s…

It starts out a lot weaker than season 1, but becomes pretty interesting by the end. Overall, it doesn't have the magic of season 1 and I rate this 2 points lower. Season 1 was very painful emotionally (and it's a beautiful thing) but it's hard to feel much emotional connection to season 2. But the continual growth of Fushi's power is always a sight to behold, and there is plenty of that in season 2.
It starts out with a many generations time skip, which sweeps away all the characters we love from season 1 and resets the world. The problem I have with this is that this is a story of Fushi's rapid growth, but we are expected to just accept that Fushi did not grow at all for 6 generations after all that happened in a few years in season 1. Moreover, the world hasn't been destroyed in all th…

I'm honestly disappointed... This season wasn't bad, but if you compare to the first season it had a huge drop in quality.
They should've taken more time in the first episodes, the amount of information they were giving us was overwhelming and it felt like they were throwing it all at your face just so the story could proceed to the actual arc they focused this season, whereas when we reach around half of the anime they take a lot of time... Don't get me wrong, it's not a bad thing but in my opinion, they could've balanced with the beginning.
Also with the first season, the anime took their time to build relationships and show the charisma of the characters, how despite them being kids (a lot of them were in the first season), they had dreams, convictions and virtues very well written fr…

Season two was a great continuation of the series in my opinion. Many parts were not as interesting and emotional as season one, but it was still better than most series and the ending was amazing.
The animation is not anything special but very enjoyable, but the characters and their stories are wonderful. The story is not as capturing as the first season but still interesting in many ways.The characters from this season were a bit too many and all of them werent as interesting as the past season, but they all contributed to the story in their own ways. They are all also very well developed and have unique personalities.
Without the ending it would have been an 8/10 for me but the ending was so wonderful that I couldnt put any lower than 9.

To Your Eternity is known to many for its methodical, slow-paced story of Fushi’s growth and the despair he faced throughout his life. Unfortunately, Season 1 sputtered to a conclusion following an underwhelming final arc around the events of Jananda, which was more action oriented, and less gripping overall. Season 2 of To Your Eternity literally follows in the footsteps of that arc, as it continued to sputter through quite an underwhelming story, that has lost most of its original charm of slow paced storytelling. The new characters introduced are okay at best, with some being decent, and some being downright awful. The pacing is fast, like an action story, which in my opinion, is not what To Your Eternity’s charm ever was. It felt like a bunch of ideas mashed together, and it felt like…

The never-ending journey of heartpangs, tears shed, vessels and companionship reels forward into the sequel season that continues like Truck-kun's worth of feels.
Continuing the trend that famed mangaka Yoshitoki Oima has done with Fumetsu no Anata e a.k.a To Your Eternity, with Season 1 released 2 years prior in Spring 2021 that set the stage for this emotionally heavily invested series, it was a blast that at the time, really resonated with people, especially after coming off with KyoAni's marvellous movie adaptation of Koe no Katachi in the mid-2010s. The story about a blob and the guardian, both Fushi and the Beholder really stood by the promise that the sole existence for Fushi ridding the world of pesky little octopus-like beings called the Nokkers, it was more than just an ordinary…
