So you like pink haired Tsunderes?
I mean I could personally take it or leave it, but it has it's mereit even if it is a little annoying from time to time.
So Familiar of Zero Season 2, what does it do good?
1. Huge overarching plot, For an anime that has a Tsundere and a lot of moe in it, it seems a little odd that theres such an impactful plot nonetheless an entertaining one. This anime centers on geopolitical kingdom warfare where all of the boys in the academy go off to the military, while all the girls stay behind. I won't go much more in detail than that but it allows for some interesting character moments for Saito (Mc).
2. Romance, Some people may not like Louise all that much and say shes some annoying brat, me personally they're not wrong she definitely comes off as that, but i…

Futatsuki no Kishi inevitably invites comparison to its predecessor. Evaluating its merits independently, it seamlessly continues from the first season, introducing new characters like Agnes. Initially, these additions dominate screen time with subplots, but this diminishes over the show's length. Saito and Louise's relationship progresses noticeably, raising important questions without spoilers.
Animation quality is commendable but not exceptional, with basic character details and consistent side-view conversations. Soundwork echoes the first season, featuring satisfactory but not memorable themes. New opening and ending themes are more enjoyable. Familiar Academy residents receive less screen time, and new characters, while generally acceptable, may have unconventional traits. Siesta's…

The second season I felt loses its charm of what made the show interesting.
The comedy becomes watered down and is benched for more serious tones of war and some philosophy it tries to push on you then completely ignores it in the end.
You lose basically most of the supporting cast from the previous season, which they themselves barely had much depth to them in the first place, this would have been a good opportunity to flesh them out. Instead a bunch of new characters appears and they take up a decent amount of the story with their own problems to be solved. They weren't bad, but it felt like they were also just casted aside for the most part too.
One big thing is many of the characters really feel like they changed immediately right off the bat from the first episode. You notice mai…

Zero no Tsukaima: Futatsuki no Kishi
The Familiar of Zero: The Knight of the Twin Moons
The second season and what I feared happened. The first season was mostly acceptable, simply because the fan service seemed irrelevant and was covered by subtle humor. Now we have even more rpants, asses and breasts without end.
And it gets worse, the mentioned humor has almost completely died. The jokes consistently only of "Some girl grabs Saito, Saito feels sexually aroused and stares at her breasts. Then Louise comes in and spams" EXPLOSION "in the low budget format. And that was it, repeated this every episode. And yes, it goes on in the other seasons.
The only reason why this season has not slipped further with the rating is the last 3 episodes and especially the final fight. One can certain…

The Familiar of Zero: Knight of the Twin Moons is S2 of this series and pretty much continues from where S1 left off. If you're here from my review of S1, then let's get what you came for out of the way first.
The good news is, Louise is more tolerable now, I often don't have a problem seeing her abuse Saito. Why is that? Well... thats the bad news... sadly the creator or whoever did S2 changed the respectful and reserved Saito into a pervert... (Disclaimer: Maybe he was always that way in the manga/LN? I don't read so can't say, if so then he was changed in S1 and changed back for more accurate adaptation in S2) Remember I said those abuse scenes are done for laughs because the pervert gets what he deserves? Yeah, that's why most of the time it didn't bother me... the other reason being…

Alright, season 1 was great, and this one was better in some aspects but worse in others.
I'm a bit on the fence about continuing to season 3 due to reasons I won't elaborate on in order to prevent spoiling, but I am quite glad I watched this one.
STORY:
MASSIVE improvement! The drama/storyline-oriented crowd here will be very happy as we go through this season. It's much harder to not spoil this season than it was in season 1 because this one features much more crucial story events. It's not yet a masterpiece, and it sure has dull villains, but thankfully there are finally more layers added to the plot here. And kudos for the interesting dynamics between Saito and Louise. 8/10.
ART:
Slight (though not easily noticable) improvement, mostly in character design and magic animation. 7/10.…

Season 1: 6/10
The continuation of the 'Familiar of Zero' series, 'Zero no Tsukaima: Futatsuki no Kishi' fairs slightly better than the first season in some aspects, but not by much. The previous season had some problems with one of the said problems being an uninteresting story. Another problem to address from the previous season would be the uninteresting characters, however this second season makes an attempt to spice up the story, and it does itself some justice...
Story: 6/10
Much like the first season, the second season of the 'Familiar of Zero' series doesn't really have much of a exciting story. The story is still very cliched and predictable. The last episode of this season was a little like that of the first season, which lead to me saying, "Of course."
However to the shows cre…

1st season was better.
No matter how good improvement the animation of this season is, the story must take precedence.
The characters became a bit perverted, from my notice, compared to the 1st season. the hero tries advances to girls that would haven't been done in the previous season. the heroine blushes to some handsome character, suddenly helpless against stranger's advances. both demeans the encounter, moments and experience they had on season 1.
though the comical side is still good, the characters were changed if not destroyed for the sake of the story. If they were to remain unchanged, it is apparent they take up an advance in their relationship, the producers unwilling to take for the continuation of this franchise.
In this season, more battles, inferred slaughters, introduct…

To be honest , i was quite shock at how well the second season is . Even though i hate when the fan service events pop up because i felt like these fan service on Zero no Tsukaima always happen like every 5 minutes . I don't hate fan service . What i hate is how many times does these fan service always shows up . If it were like 4-5 times , i wouldn't mind . Although this fan service stop a bit after a bit of episodes . Anyway , back to the review .

The story on the second season tells us after the events that took place on the first season . Louise now know that Saito have given up on coming back to his own world . Not long after that , Louise receive a message from the queen herself about the war with Albion . New villains . New comrades . More fan service . More cute adorable f…

Cheers! To a seconds season with more explosions than a Michel Bay movie! No but seriously that school should invest in bomb suits…
The story of the second season seems to be a lot more aimed at character development under the impending situations that is picked up where season 1 left off. Despite all that’s going on, there still seems to be a lot of times you’re not sure if you’re watching a bad harem, magical romance or cringe worthy comedy. However within all this, it was much better paced out than its prequel even so, there are the occasional parts that a very easily predicted
The art and styles at first glance don’t seems to have changed much. But upon closer inspection background and scenery seem to be a lot better than simple cell shaded pigments that look like an elementary schoo…

I gave this show an 8 in rating because it did something Season 1 didn't. It got to the meat of the main two characters relationship early. Too many times there are rom/coms that are great stories and wonderful shows but the relationship side doesn't happen until 3 episodes to the end of the entire series leaving you wanting to know what happened in the end. An example of this is Toradora. The show was outstanding. Art superb, Story awesome, Characters wonderful. I loved every minute of it but you never found out how it all ended. You had to assume it was a happily ever after. It was the same with My Little Monster ZnT:KnF gave you a great idea where they stand early on and then ends so strong with the final two episodes of the season being emotionally moving. I just started the rom/com ge…

Loved the characters.
Hated the direction the director took in making the series.
It's like they tried too hard to mix rom-com and action-adventure, and they ended up with a bland concoction that appeals to neither fans of either genre. They should have just picked one and used the other as a supplement.
Including season 1, we're currently 25 episodes into the series. So far, there are far too many crucial questions that have been left unanswered, such as: What is a Void mage? Why is it important? Why was Saito chosen as the reincarnation of Gandalfr? Why is Louise the only Void mage to appear in centuries? Why now, as opposed to 10 years ago or 10 years into the future?
Back story aside, let's look at current questions: Has Louise made any progress as a Void mage? Has Saito learned t…

Season in mainly
about the war between Albion and Tristain. But don't understand this wrong,
Its not ALL war. Because there is Comedy in this anime (LOTS OF IT) and it also
has its serious and intense moments. And some moments were you just think WTF!
this anime has it all! An amazing story, good art, and most importantly, well
something That I feel is important that a lot of animes lack,
Deaths of characters that you just love. Now dont get me
wrong, I'm not for characters dying, but it gets all too boring when
you can predict what happens in an anime. and this is not one of those animes.
which is exactly why I love it so much.
The Genres of this anime or season are; : Action, Adventure, Comedy, Ecchi,
Fantasy, Magic, Romance, School life and of course Harem!
Now that is a lot of genres.…

Zero no Tsukaima: Futatsuki no Kishi, the sequel to the previous season is the continuation of the epic saga of Saito Hiraga and Louise Valliere.
The invasion of Tristain has been pushed back thanks to Louise and Saito and an ueasy calm settles over the land. Louise begins to practice Void Magic while Saito, having given up his chance to go home to Japan, tries to find ways to fill his time. But the wars are not over. The peaceful lull is but the calm before the storm, and soon Queen Henrietta must make a terrible choice between a temporary peace and a preemptive invasion of Albion. Either way, Tristain is soon to be embroiled in war once more, and “Zero” and her Familiar will be right in the middle of it.
The story is relatively new in some ways. New characters are introduced like pret…

Well for starters let me just say that I've just recently gotten into watching anime. As a 17 year old boy, I never really figured that this show would appeal to me. In fact, when I listed the few that I had watched and liked people tried to dissuade me from this genre.
I ended up watching it after marathon watching TTGL and Code Geass for the first time, and then feeling really depressed at the end of both of them. I wanted something silly yet enjoyable and I figured I would give this a try.
At the beginning of season one I was like... lame. I can't stand Harry Potter (bear with me, I'm not saying its a Harry Potter knock off), so I was kind of put off by the whole magic school thing. But I stuck through it and ended up watching the whole first season in two sittings. After the first fe…

I was reluctant to watch this series. It was on my to watch list for about a year. But tonight i've watched the first two seasons through and through and now i'm telling myself that i should have watched this so much sooner.
The story really reminds me of fullmetal alchemist brotherhood. And in a lot of ways it is. To simplify, Zero no Tsukaima is like an opposite of fullmetal. Where fma had a lot of action and little romance, this has a similar story that is heavy on the romance and light on the actual action. And there's a purpose for this. Fma most likely had a budget 2 maybe 3 times as big as the producers here. Thus we don't get a masterpiece like fma but it's still a really well done anime.
But i do have some gripes with this show, especially with this season. It seems like most…

Honestly I love the ZnT series, there's just something about it, I can tell it wasn't some rushed second season, they actually sat down and planned it. What I liked most was that they found a way to continue the plot in a way that continued the first one with the war, I'm just glad they didn't make a whole new story that came from nowhere which can be an easy mistake to make and people should really apreciate that more. Some people like to nit pick at it and complain but thats just because they want to have something to whine about, if one things fixed then something else is wrong, just be happy we're getting more seasons. The ending really got to me, I loved seeing them finally admit how much they really care for each other, and what saito did (not spoiling it) almost made me and a lot of…

Futatsuki no Kishi, the second season of Zero no Tsukaima takes us back to the magical world where Louise and her familiar Saito continue their adventures. The first season was pretty entertaining and that hasn’t changed much in the second one either. The problem with season two is that most of the episodes follow an individual plot and build up the main storyline slower than what we have encountered in season one. There’s action going on, sure, but the whole bang starts during the last few episodes. Some may not care as much, but it will undoubtedly turn off a couple of less tolerant viewers.
Surprisingly enough, Saito and Louise’s relationship hasn’t changed much. From the very first episode it seems that they’re back to square one and Louise quickly goes back to whipping Saito as if no…

Zero no Tsukaima: Futatsuki no Kishi (ZnT2 for short) is a sequel to the adapted anime Zero no Tsukaima and deals with their stories right after the first season's ending.
ZnT and ZnT2, for me, is generally a breather away from the harsher animes and just to have fun with (similar to how I treat Hayate no Gotoku!) but the 2nd season has improved greatly in terms of drama and, well.. deteriorated in some departments
This season is actually good but the respectable male lead, Hiraga Saito, has gone from manly guy to pervert, I mean seriously, this spoils a whole lot of everything. Whenever huge boobs show up, he MUST notice it. Hell I don't even remember being such a perverted guy when I was his age, I know he's a healthy boy but MUST HE NOTICE EVERY BREAST IN THE WHOLE WORLD? The second t…

Zero no Tsukaima Futatsuki no Kishi delivers everything and more than I expected from the prequel, the story it's basically the same but that doesn't mean it's bad, the art on this one it's pretty impressive with not so linear characters, Saito is much like a pervert but holds a little when Louise it's present, and Louise it's still a hardheaded girl and selfish brat that keeps abusing Saito.
Well you either love it or hate and so far I've liked it a lot it has outdone the first entry and with strong romance and comedy you have an outstanding anime and will always be one of the best.
