Introduction
Three hundred years ago, in the frigid land of Siberia, Jubei Yagyu engaged in a fierce battle with Kitaretsusai of the Northern Yagyu clan. The duel was costly, as his daughter Freesia was frozen in suspended animation. As a result of global warming in the present day, Freesia breaks free from her icy grave and moves to Japan as a middle school transfer student, where she befriends Jiyuu Nanohana. Little does Jiyuu know that Freesia is targeting her to acquire the coveted Lovely Eye Patch, which Freesia believes is rightfully hers.

This is highly disappointing.
Everything I took in from the first season was an incredible comedy that was serious, but not too serious; and frequently misconceived by many as something else.
But, this was a joke. Right off the bat, they repeat the same plot and the theme song is just the original with a slightly updated violin theme and visuals. Did not mind that too much since I normally do not care for most opening and closing credits of anime, anyway.
But, HOW can the humor and quality drop so much? It seems like they sacrificed their decent writing, excellent comedy and more just to improve the animation; leaving in the fight scenes to be the parts to look forward to now.
But, it turned into a generic comedy EXTREMELY quick. They actually changed the design of one of the character…

CRITICAL FAILURE!!
Well, I'm pretty certain that I have found the most useless anime sequel I've ever watched. The first Jubei Chan story wasn't spectacular, but it's approach was kind of cool, the humor was pretty good, filled with lots of jokes that break the third wall, bright character designs, and some really cool battles. Jubei Chan 2 is almost the exact, same show with the same premise, trying nothing at all new and completely wasting the viewer's time!
STORY: (4) Just a pathetic rehash of the first story, except that this time, someone else has shown up with a lovely eye patch and is claiming to be the real Yagyuu Jubei successor. Okay, this here just whizzes what was already established in the first story of Jubei's successor had to have "plump, bouncy, bon bons", which was never…

Quite some time ago, I saw Jubei Chan - The Ninja Girl, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Now that I've finally started purchasing anime for my own collection, I decided to get the sequel, hoping to once again enjoy some nice modern-samurai comedy.
One word: Disappointed.
The art is still nice and clean, and the battles are intense, but that doesn't really make up for the lack of other interesting parts to the show.
While I say the battles are intense, this may not be considered a good thing by all, as the battles now consist of simple power Vs power, high-energy fights, which I cannot remember being a focus in the last series. And even then, the fights are few, and they are usually over all too quickly.
Outside the fighting, there is the story, the supporting characters, and the…

Highs: Cool looking action scenes; improved animation; comedy works
Lows: ...Too much of it doesn't; Repetitive storyline; sub-plots that go nowhere; unbelievable amount of filler; useless side characters; elements make absolutely no sense; the reason for the most emotion from previous series is missing
Jubei-chan 2 – The Counter Attack of the Siberian Yagyu, henceforth to be known as Jubei-chan 2, is the continuation of the series that debuted back in 1999. Picking up where the first series left off, Jubei-chan 2 adds a few more interesting characters, but in the end turns out to be a carbon copy of the previous season. Jubei-chan is unsuccessful in creating a coherent plot and is a complete letdown to the series.
The first season laid down the building blocks for the possibility…
