Shinmai Maou no Testament Burst season 2 was a disappointing drop off from the previous season. They ended up turning the series into a borderline hentai because the plot was too boring.
The first season didn’t have much but at least had an okay plot and used its ecchi genre well enough. This season didn’t. Like i said they turned it into borderline hentai, and the plot was all over the place. I had no clue what was happening and had to anchor myself at the end of all the action. Leaving me confused until the very end of battles.
I don’t have much else to say. The plot is bad and I’m honestly too traumatized from this season to want to watch an ecchi for a long time. It’s no wonder this season had only 10 episodes instead of the usual 12-13 anime’s have. They had nothing to work with an…

So I just finished Shinmai Maou no Testament BURST (Season 2), and yep—it’s more of the same madness, and I’m honestly not mad about it.
Let’s be real here, I didn’t come for deep plot twists or award-winning writing. I came for epic fight scenes and over-the-top ecchi moments, and on that front, BURST delivers. If anything, it cranks things up even more compared to Season 1. The battles feel a little more intense this time around—faster pacing, bigger stakes, and some solid animation during the key moments. Nothing mind-blowing, but definitely fun to watch.
And yeah, the ecchi is still the MVP. If that’s your thing (which it totally is for me), then BURST is basically just fan service heaven with swords and magic thrown in. Some scenes had me like, “did they really just go there?”—but t…

Hello Everyone, this is my first review ever and what a better way to start, than from lowest rated anime in my completed list (at least for now).
Oh dear Shinmai Maou no Testament. How much guilty pleasure I had watching your first season and how I suffered during the second one. But to begin with something positive.
Graphics and music
I have to say that both graphics and music are pretty good and they are an overall improvement from the first season. I don't want to write about them much more, since they didn't blew my mind, but they haven't worsen the experience. What did, however, worsen the experience was the story.
Story
I watched Testament some time ago, so I don't remember what happened in every single episode, but I remember I liked none of them. Basara is once again fightin…

In short, this ‘Shinmai Maou no Keiyakusha Burst’ is worth watching and is highly recommended if you enjoy the ecchi and harem genres. It perfectly succeeds the Essence of the ‘Shinmai Maou’ series, wonderful ecchi senses. Also, the extra harem girls of the hero make a lot of new fun. Meanwhile, the performance of the plots is better than the presequel. A major flaw of the presequel, the existence of meaningless or in other words slacking off characters in fighting scenes, has been improved significantly. However, I still want to issue that no f**king scene is quite a bit sad.

Shinmai Maou no Testament Burst is what you get when you mix up angsty teenage-level soft hentai, questionable foot & armpit fetishes, a generic Isekai medieval European city and an absurdly predictable plot mixed in with Deux ex-Machinas at every turn.
The worst part is the season starts on a decent note but then suddenly shifts gears and becomes a generic Isekai wet dream where the region of "Hell" is actually just a big metropolitan European city with a bunch of "demons," aka people who have horns.
This generic wonderland city also has a variety of animal races and everything your basic af European medieval anime city could have.
Pros:
1. The slice-of-life aspect is a lot better than in season one.
2. The humour is less about OMG LOOK SEXUAL TENSION, LOL and more about situational…

Frankly speaking, it's the same as season 1, it's a plain meh to me.
Pros:
The animation quality is pretty good. It doesn't feel like a low budget project. Feel smooth, pretty and crisp.
The heroines are fucking hot, lewd and thirsty. The erotic scene is nicely animated and it's pretty horny but it felt pretty unsatisfying due to no sex scene.
Cons:
The plot is very generic to me. Nothing special that make it stand out, it's a forgettable plot.
The MC core personality is not that interesting, it's the generic type that never give up kind of shit and always stand back up over and over again with the same line that "I will protect" kind of shit.
The battle scene is absolute meh, nothing special, same with the powers going on in this series.
The erotic scene are repetitive, each girl h…

Animation and Sound was better than the first season. Fight scenes were surprisingly good too. Story was alright, hardly anything special but wasn't bad.
But the ecchi was definitely worse. Like strictly worse than season one. It kind of boils down to the same movements over and over again, and they stopped trying new things every time like it was in season one.
But with mediocre ecchi, the story is not good enough compared to a regular show to elevate the show to something worthwhile. I guess ill keep my out for a season 3, and see what they do. There's definitely loose ends, and potential.

I enjoyed the first season, and I did enjoy this one, but not as much as the first season. This was a bit disappointing for a second season to an anime with potential.
The story this time feels a bit toned down and lacks the effort that the first season had. This anime is a prime example of wasted potential, which is very disappointing. However, it isn't bad in itself. It's not going to blow your mind but it also isn't going to get you uninterested. It's fine overall.
Characters are all the same as before. They all play their tropes well and are all fun. However, I feel as though our MC could lean into being thirsty a bit, as it feels like the girls are all doing the hard work.
The animation is also fine. It's mostly the same quality as last season, with some scenes suffering a bit but…

It seems better to me than the first season but I did not like that the protagonist still lacks that sexual hunger, that is, there is a lot of fanserve and nothing tells you that they had sex or that is a lot of touching but little action. I was really disappointed I was expecting someone like the one from high scool DxD. But no good getting this out, the anime when there were fights it got very good I thought they wasted their good animation by putting a lot of unnecessary echi but it is entertaining. Another negative thing is that they leave it with a half-open ending, that is, many questions are not answered. The positive things that it has are the powers, the skills are very good, some designs although it always sins in making girls with big boobs but there is a lot of variety. If you…

I finished the second season of shinmai maou no testament burst, just like I said on the first one, if you don't want to watch tons of fanservice just stay away of this, if you want a soft hentai with tons of big brother complex and cute girls you are up for a treat.
As usual this anime has two points of view, as anime a 4 is what I stand up for, is ok, has some good moments, some good fights, if you want to evaluate it on his level of echiness is a damn 9, but I evaluate the animes for animes and not for the amount of fan service I get.
The story overall is decent, simple, nice... sometimes boring with some good points at some momments.
The animation is great, holy crap, the best point of this anime by a landslide, as this kind of anime has to be, beatuifull characters, beautifull anim…

tl;dr: A sequel season that isn't particularly surprising but continues doing what its good at doing well.
This is a really strong sequel carries over all the strengths of the previous season but manages to change things up enough to still be really interesting. There are two arcs, the first is centered around Hasegawa, but it's mostly setting things up for future arcs and hence doesn't really change things in major ways. The more intense arc is the second, which involves the group going to the demon world. This arc is pretty long but is pretty intense all the way through. There are minor political machinations, but the majority of the interesting parts revolve around the action which is the best it's been throughout the series. It's fast and impactful and pretty satisfying to watch most…

Uch, if I wanted to watch something this perverted, I would have just watched a hentai. I mean, I'm all for ecchi anime and I don 't mind fan-service, but the amount in this series is just so over the top, it literally feels like they're just trying to see how much they can get away with before they get slapped with a hentai label. The story is average, and the characters are fine, but it seems like they're trying to find any excuse to dive into an orgy scene with a new type of fetish exploration. Would have appreciated more fight scenes and more of a plot. I give it a 4/10.

One of the worst things i have ever watched. Season 1 was decent but this was dreadful the ecchi was way to high and the plot took so long to happen that i literally fell asleep watching. The cast was so one dimensional and the girls were so focused on basara that it hurt the show and all development of their characters. The teacher in this series gets really messed up in season 2 and the scene that happens between her and basara is do wrong that i skipped through it and it should never be in this series and be in something r rated. The only real good characters are the supporting and villains they serve the show right and are able to keep you somewhat interested. Finally the music in this show is generic as hell nothing is really memorable and the opening you can forgot in under 5 min. Do…

So after seeing that the first anime will be dubbed in the coming months, I decided to watch both series out of curiosity. I didn't review the first series but it's pretty much the same as the second so the review will count for both in my case. My decision to watch this show was a waste of time. What a pile of garbage this anime turned out to be. It's not a 1 because there were a few redeeming factors. I'll start with the negatives first, starting with the worst going downward:
Characters: Holy hell does this series have garbage characters.
Basara, the main character (whom I will be referring as Basura, the Spanish word for garbage as of this point), is your typical harem MC that never really loses and has this intense niceness to him that no normal person would ever have. That is a cr…

Story: so the story this time around is that in that all Basara and his friends end up getting called down to the demon realm cause of this of course new problems arise of people that wants Mios powers but to also top that off they end up having a tourney to decide who will get mios powers either the demon king and or Basara himself (well more of like not them getting killed and also keeping Mio away from them)
Art: art is the same the powers are pretty cool and so are lewd parts as well
Sound: OP and ED are meh at best i personally wont go looking for them and downloading them otherwise the characters sounded good.
Characters: Basara is the main guy of the anime and well he is pretty shy when it comes to the pervy parts but in action he is a total bad ass. Mio one of the main girls she…

After watching the first season i was very interested in seeing the 2nd season but when it had arrived i had all but realised what it had turned into. It was just a mess of random ecchi scenes for no reason and was just all over the place. I did not enjoy myself as much as the previous season. I know that the ecchi was the appeal of the show but they over did it in the 2nd season. It just went so obverboard that whenever a new female character was introduced, shortly an ecchi scene would follow. The whole story was just drowned out in the immense amount of ecchi scenes. The story barely progressed the characters were just there for fanservice and barely contributed to the story. Overall i would say that they will have to massively improve on these points in the 3rd season if i were to watc…

FULL DISCLOSURE: I have not read the manga/light novel.
ART+ANIMATION:
The art is good. Animation is all over the place with it’s crappy moments but it remains at a standard level overall with a few good scenes. Seriously, some scenes were so good I wish they could extract them, erase the rest of the season and start over with those as key points.
Sound effects are merely average. The in-show music is quite good and it fits the mood and theme well too. The theme song at the beginning is pretty average, but I like it.
I watched both censored and non-censored at the same time. The censored versions are generally a minute to a minute and half shorter. One improvement this season is the use of chibis and spell-circles to spot-cover instead of the annoying full screen blocking light beams.…

(This review has been adapted from my blog/reddit thread. Spoilers ahead!)
Shinmai Maou no Testament Burst has an affinity for bathing. That makes sense. An ecchi anime without a bath scene or two is like an anime without animation – it is almost unheard of.
For myself, bathing has never generated any exceptional stories. Save for one.
Growing up, I’ve always liked minty snacks. But, as a young kid, I took it a few steps further. When I bathed, I had this plastic container that I would fill with both water and toothpaste because the toothpaste tasted like mint. And, as the weirdo I was, I ate my watery-tooth-pasty concoction. Not just once either. Every shower, be it Crest or Aquafresh, I would partake in my makeshift, minty mousse.
The outcome? I would get sick. Many a night I had tea…

(This review covers both seasons as it was meant to be seen and will be on both seasons review section.)
Shinmai Maou no Testament comes to a close on this final season. I think is fair to say that it excelled as a successful "Ecchi". The Succubus factor not only delivered mind blowing fan service but assimilated well the action elements as well as to rid the common problem of the Hero vs Demon premise suffers from. Locations of peers when kidnapped as well as growth of our protagonist on a steady pace thanks to the aforementioned succubus factor.
We are left with many questions and I certainly feel compelled to check out the Light Novel. The story is standard given spice and the elements thrown by the author are very creative, Made use of many cliches and some ideas found on other Light…

In lieu of a full review I will discuss how season 2 varied from season 1 (and why it was even worse).
For starters, the story was even worse than before. It was trash. You aren't given enough background information; the angle with the school nurse, the thing about his mother(s) and other pieces of the plot were explained poorly and there was no follow through. The art and sound were comparable but the characters were even more annoying this time. The ecchi got more uncomfortable, the excuses for it for far worse and the new characters introduced were even more tropish than before. My biggest pet peeve was MCs ability to control his power at the end. He struggled under 2 conditions but seemed to be all good handling all 3, it made no sense and made me painfully aware I had watched 10 episo…
