A very strong second season of Komi cant communicate.
Where the first season wasn't much of a romance and more of a slice of life comedy mix where Komi went through her day to day life trying to make friends, The second season definitely focused more on the dynamic of the relationships between the characters and I was all for it, something about their charming and comedic moments together was so wholesome, Every episode of this season was packed full of amazing and comedic moments that were a blast to watch through, seeing all these likeable characters engage together and seeing such a wholesome dynamic was really heart warming to say the least and makes me crave for more.
This anime is a must watch for anybody who enjoys slice of life and or comedy and romance. It is an incredibly stro…

"Communication is a skill you can learn. It's like riding a bike or typing. If you're willing to work at it, you can quickly improve the quality of every part of your life."
I want to make it clear that this season brought a huge improvement to the show, it stopped being a little comedy without salt and showed moments that were cool to see with significant scenes, which will not happen in the previous season.

Story: No meaningful story progression. The main characters still have their goals of making Shouko have 100 friends. What changes and the events that happen during the course of the show, in them there is an advance in Shouko's relationship with Tadano, and in the way she interacts with other classmates.

I owe you all an apology.
My first review of Komi Can’t Communicate did not do it the justice it deserves. I did not address what was distinctly wrong with Komi.
What’s wrong with Komi-san? Shallow characterization aside, her problem is that she is afflicted by severe social anxiety, and no one takes that seriously. Every episode begins the same; the narrator will cut in to tell us “what a communication disorder is.” Their definition is “Communication disorders cause difficulties in communicating with others.” If that reads like gibberish, it is. They’ve not researched mental disorders for a show that preaches about anxiety and in turn created an offensive portrayal of anxiety. Komi’s perspective is reduced to close-ups of her one vacuous expression. Not every anime will have accurate po…

I always have mixed feelings with romcom anime. Their use of comedy and writing can be either good like Kaguya-sama or poor like Rent-a-Girlfriend. Those kinds of anime, in my opinion, are in 2 sides: good or bad... then there's Komi-san which surprisingly isn't bad but... at the same time, far from a good one. The last time I watched the first season, I got bored simply because the comedy got stale and the writing felt rather basic. What about the second season? Will my thoughts be different? Well... only one way to find out.
Before I get to the writing quality, I just wanted to talk about the artstyle for a while. The artstyle, while I do really like the visuals surrounding the show (JoJo references lol), didn't click well with me. Character designs look rather shallow just for Komi's l…

People who complain about this show not depicting social anxiety or treating it seriously are the same type of people that are completely ok with wish-fulfillment fantasies where the MC gets a harem and having women fight over him, despite possessing no special features that warrant such attention. For other reasons though, this show is not too good.
Isekais and Rom-coms are over-saturating mainstream anime. This season especially so, with five of the top six most anticipated shows being rom-coms, and the other one being an isekai. How does Komi-san wa, Comyushou desu fare?
Not great. Aharen-san wa Hakarenai has virtually the same storyline and female MC, but it's the better show. The main difference here is the routes that the shows decided to take. Aharen-san wa Hakarenai sticks with a…

i dont do reviews but i get asked alot that why i dont like Komi Cant Communicate those people goes like "its just a slice of life dont expect any great plot or something" so i had to write one.
ok so let me start with good points which is Art and Sound which are the only decent property about this anime specially i love the S2 ending Visuals and S1 opening song.
lets talk about characters, which are all of them shallow. Almost every character is just a Komi Simp and why? god knows. characters got no personality of their own ,everyone just goes "Komi this" and "Komi that" like for fcks sake get a life.
the only decent character i think this anime have is Tadano apart from him even Komi is very irritating.
this show takes serious topics like "communication disorder" and messes with it, wh…

This review will be a quickie since this is a straight continuation from the first season!
Story; Tadano continues with his promise on trying to get Komi to make 100 friends in her High-School years. During the second season, you get to meet even more eccentric classmates and wacky attempts to get Komi to communicate to her new friends. Art; Gorgeous, no ifs ands OR BUTS (I love the ending style as well). Sound; I kept comparing the new OST to the previous at first, but ending up loving it and felt it suited the second season perfectly. Character; Komi beginnings to open up more yet again because of Tadano, and because of newly built friendships we get to discover some new emotions that we all have been WAITING FOR!!!
Overall, this season was just as sweet as the last. I don't have extre…

Signs.....Haaaaaa ahhhh, there goes studio OLM again, making a sequel of this otherwise stupid anime...... As in WTF is the fuck with this sequel?
Story:
Pros: It was nice that , this sequel wasn't mostly about Komi, cu'z in this sequel her classmates get to have their own aired time both with Komi or with Tadano....
Cons: Except that Komi was still this beautiful lass that for some wired reason that them Japs keep coming up with strange disorders that were just too pathetic to begin with, whom up to now still "CAN'T SPEAK UP!!!!!!!"
Verdict: 6 Over 10. Art:
Pros: The usual eye candy uniform.
Cons: No Osanajimi's fanservice.
Verdict: 5 over 10.
Sound
Pros: Tadano having to sound a bit mature, Osanajimi's expressive tone.
Cons: Having a seiyuu to do Komi's voice was just a waste…

Last season, I worried that this series would burn itself out soon with repetition, as any time I look up the long manga series for this, there's usually frustration found with where it is going. I haven't read the manga. As a result, I can't personally comment on it, though I can tell this early on with season 2, that the story is annoyingly dragging itself as a romance, and falling apart. The progression in this 2nd season, plot wise, is like a spider trying to crawl out of a bathtub. The anime staff, for all they are, is the little kid that is trying to help it get out, but lets it slip back down each time.
The comedy, when it works, is all that can somewhat salvage this. The early episodes were very funny, and made this at least entertaining and funny at times. Towards the end, I sto…

The return of wholesome the anime(minus Yamai). Komi-san season 2 gave us more of the same as season 1 with adding some new characters in the mix. Just like season 1, it was very enjoyable and it's a pleasure watching Komi and her friends do random stuff every week.
Art: 9
The Art and Animation continue to be really smooth and there are many vibrant colors and backgrounds that really compliment the show really well. I still think the character designs are whatever, but as this is season 2 I cant really discredit it there. Really solid art overall.
Sound: 9
The sound design just like in season 1 was really solid. Whatever the mood is that they are trying to express, the background music and sounds do a really good job complimenting the mood. Also, the ending theme absolutely smacked.

I'm not much of writing reviews or anything but here it goes. I'd like to address some initial misconceptions you may have before starting the show.
Firstly, Komi can't communicate is NOT a romcom, don't expect a confession or a couple by the end of the show. This anime is a SLICE-OF-LIFE based in school years, did you enjoy high school when you were young? If so, then there will be tons of nostalgia in this show.
Secondly, the plot goes around Komi making new friends and overcoming her extreme social anxiety, this is not a process you will see in just 24 episodes, Rome was not built in a day. However you will see small but steady progress.
With that out of the way, let's start with the PROS and CONS.
PROS
- The soundtrack has nothing to envy to other more popular shows, is right on…

This is my first in depth review so bear with me:
Story-
The story covers Komi Shouko and Tadano Hitohito and their quest to help Komi, a girl with a communication disorder make friends, its a simple but enjoyable story to follow along.
6/10
Art-
As I said before, the animators love this series. To me, at least its really nice on the eye and some may disagree, that's understandable. The art style is actually really nice to me. The only problem is sometimes they like to not give the characters eyes which most of the time I don't notice unless they do it to a notable character which then I dislike
8/10
Sound-
I can't comment on sound design, however where I will comment is opening 1 and ending 2. Although ending 1 is serviceable, but not to die for and I personally dislike opening 2. But…

If you were to ask if Komi could represent a realistic human being, then the answer is yes, and you have to look no further than yours truly. Five days ago, a strain of COVID viruses had decided to ambush me, and the barrage of coughs that followed had been too much for my poor throat. Since then, I’ve been left without a voice, unable to talk directly with any of my friends (not that I directly met any, as I was in quarantine). I resorted to expressing my ideas through writing (texting), and with the help of my friends, I was able to discover joy and happiness even in my deepest times of despair.
Well, I still don’t have a friend who is a psychopath that tries to sexually assault me every other day of the week. But I’m working on it.
The second season of Komi Can’t Communicate largely s…

Komi san season 2 was a disappointment for me I enjoyed the first season quite a bit, but after 12 episodes it started to get somewhat stale. I hoped they would improve upon things for season 2 maybe switch things up maybe focus a bit more on the characters at hand, but alas it was the the same old formula. The main premise of the show is what i think works against it, but i will say it is not a lost cause of a show and I think that it has it's redeeming quality and has a decent joke or character every so often.
The characters are my biggest gripe with this show, I know that they main premise of it is that Komi wants 100 friends, but each person is more shallow then the last and some are downright annoying even characters from last season which i hoped would be one off characters cause so…

I find it really funny that, despite the numerous amount of low-balling score and negative reviews made in the review column, at the time I wrote this, both Komi 1st and 2nd season still retain average score above 8. Perhaps people visiting this site still know what they want to watch and certainly able to form their own opinion on the show despite the raging biases. And that was such a reassuring thought on its own.

I went out of my way to talk with my brother, who was also watching Komi and a weeaboo, as he particularly enjoyed it, I, on the other hand, didn't like it that much. This is the retelling of how we discussed how we felt about Komi as a whole.
My brother approached me when I was just finished looking at my phone and went.
Bro: Let's talk about Komi, ya know, review the whole thing.
Me: Oh yeah, that awful dreadful shit I had to sit through every single season.
Bro: What, why? He questioned me why is it that I did not take a liking to Komi.
Me: The show is so boring. Both the 1st and 2nd seasons are literally the same shit. It became so dreadful that I muted their voices just so I did not have to listen to their voice every time they are on screen.
Bro: First of all, why would you not…

It's a given when a source material this popular like mangaka Tomohito Oda won awards so prominent enough to warrant the inevitable anime adaptation, Komi-san's adaptation would skyrocket the anime scene once again for the immensely popular girl in school whom has a communication disorder, and someone wants to befriend 100 friends that starts from the average boy that slowly and surely, they grow together more closely and intimately. Also, as a footnote, this show certainly was one of the first anime to be now infamously dubbed the "Netflix Jail" (because you could ONLY watch this on Netflix, and then again the subbing is quite bad), and the reason why piracy still exists today.
Come Season 2 not long after Season 1 aired last Fall to huge fanfare, and Komi is back with the same clique of…

Much like the first season, the biggest question I reflected on was “Did I find that funny?”. Yes, it’s still pretty hilarious, but these students really need to put on some kind of watch list, like seriously, this is quite the messed up school. The romance between Komi and Tadano continues, at a snail’s pace, but even so, it’s still quite enjoyable to watch.
My grading criteria: Story: /25 Art: /10 Music: /10 Characters: /20 Enjoyment /15 Thematic Execution /20
STORY: 16.5/25
Mostly still very episodic, with your typical school rom-com tropes. The romance is still very slow, but cute when romantic moments occur. Not a whole lot to say about the story, as it’s mostly comedic moments and a character based show.
ART: 8.4/10
A definite step down from last season, as some elements are inc…

When reviewing part one, I said this show suffered from unfunny comedy and too much repetition, but even having read the manga myself beforehand, I don’t think I ever truly realized how much worse my own complaints could get. Part two of Komi-san wa, Comyushou desu is excruciatingly shallow, and it proceeds to accomplish little aside from proving my point that there was no substance to be had beyond the very first episode. In my first review, I explained how the manga this anime is based on was originally a one-shot, and how it was clear that the one-shot's success is what prompted the long-running manga's serialization and never-ending chapter count. My argument was essentially that the story and characters were perfectly fine vehicles for achieving what the author originally set out to a…

**Contains a few spoilers**
If I’ll give a word that will describe this season, it would be “better”.
Despite really hating the first season of this show and being considered to be one of the shows that belong in the garbage, I found this show improving or made sense. Now that I’ve realized it, this is one of the shows that you should never take seriously. Watching a show that isn’t overhyping by many people can be something else. I thought this season will be something else but all hopes seemed lost. KOMI-SAN IS REALLY A GAG SHOW. Forget the idea of having 2 characters, fall in love, and expect something beautiful. Not your usual romantic comedy that will give something more than the sum of its parts. Even the proper portrayal of social anxiety in the first place. All of that is a massi…
