Nu! Oh wow. So this vampire can’t really stay dead, huh? Yeah. That’s right. I didn’t expect this to have another season. At least not this soon. But I guess with a certain vampire resurrected from the ashes of the dead, it is so that only because we can have more dumb laughs in Kyuuketsuki Sugu Shinu S2. As we all already know from the first season, a vampire so weak that he dies and turns into sand the slightest. But he keeps conveniently resurrecting and that’s why we have a sequel to see more shenanigans and antics that would continue to kill him (but not outright) and in the process make us laugh. Heh. Oh well, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, right? Okay, at least not in Draluc’s case. Does anybody keep a scorecard of how many times this weakling died already?
Episode 1A
Because Ronaldo unplugs the power to his video game, Draluc becomes upset and leaves. Ronaldo is happy if he never comes back but damn, you’re making John sad! Don’t worry, he’ll come back as always. True enough, he later comes back. However the welcome sign outside the door has fallen off. Because vampires cannot enter that is not of their home, he thinks Ronaldo is trying to throw him out. If that’s the case, he’ll run away. He tries to ask the guild members for a place to stay but apparently if he wants to die faster, be my guest. Especially Senya. Don’t trade your pride just to live with this gay BDSM dude! Ronaldo is in a pinch when Kameya and Rokuon are here to interview Draluc. Ronaldo has no choice but to have John dress up like the vampire. Draluc thought Handa’s place would be good to stay for a while. Until he sees all the hate merchandises of Ronaldo! Better get out! The only way left is to go back to the office. One of those vegetable monsters is still around so he gets chased about. Draluc thinks of transforming into a bat to fly into the office to signal for John’s help. Too bad WTF he transformed into?! Because of that, pigeons start chasing him. Then chickens. Then ostriches. WTF?! Eventually he comes back running to office with all the birds as Ronaldo kills him off. That should do it. With the sign back up, Draluc returns home. Ronaldo still blames him, though.
Episode 1B
Ronaldo gets tricked by Kameya to go drinking. Instead they’ll be investigating this private hospital said to have a ghost causing nuisance to the public. And what’s Handa doing here? Oh, to tease Ronaldo. As they investigate, the real culprit is actually a vampire who has a transparent lower half, making him look like a ghost. He wants to play pranks on them. However the jokes are on him as he gets assaulted by Handa’s clione. Then he tries to scare them to run in separate directions. After a few cheap scares, he thought Ronaldo has taken the bait. Turns out everyone knew it all along and was just playing to catch him. However as he confesses, it seems the hand blood prints on the window wasn’t his doing. Who is it? Oh sh*t! THIS REAL GHOST! THIS REAL SCARY MOTHER! RUN!!! In the aftermath, Kameya wrote an article so good about it, now it has become a public attraction. Step right this way! Oh, the ghost is called Acchan now?
Episode 1C
Ronaldo is in sh*t. Deadline for his manuscript is today. Better get cracking. If only Draluc isn’t being a dick by distracting him playing his drums! Killing him off once didn’t do the trick as Draluc returns with more crazy WTF distractions. Ronaldo believes this is all to distract him. He’ll lose if he reacts so he stays strong in focusing on his work. Too bad the silliness is too strong. From samba dances to Ronaldo impressions to guess-what-picture-this-is, you bet Ronaldo is turned into some rebuking pro. In the end, Draluc has this large contraption but messes up. A pissed Ronaldo goes to tell him how it is done when suddenly Fukuma is here. Ronaldo looks like he is fooling around, right? And so, he requests to sing a song before the inevitable. So, this rock piece is his dirge-cum-eulogy?
Episode 2A

He is here to exterminate vampires because all of them are slacking. Well, everyone is impressed at how passionate this guy is! As they carry out their missions, Mikazuki fails to unleash his special skill because of dumb interruptions. He also learns how weird everybody is. Yeah, they’re friendly and give him some encouragement even when he fails. Not to mention there are some ‘friendly’ vampires they can’t kill. Just beat them up a little. Finally Mikazuki gets his modesty violated by the bikini vampire. He thought he has lost it but his guild pals give him the strength to carry on. Maybe this isn’t so bad. Until he gets aped by that kissy vampire. Instantly he returns to Tokyo. Not coming back!
Episode 2B
Hinaichi narrates her job to observe Draluc. Yeah, she’s making herself at home at Ronaldo’s office and ignoring him. So we see her observe the funny ways of this world’s weakest vampire and how he adapts quickly to modern conveniences. Because of that, she notes he is more human than a vampire. An insult that results in instant death! Then he tries to show off some of the vampire characteristics as per survey over the internet. Not really impressive… Finally the blood sucking trait… Just pop this wine from dad! So weak he can’t even open the cork and Hinaichi has to help. Ronaldo just finishes separating some vampire bugs as per requested by the kids. This freaks out Hinaichi. The bottle kills Draluc, the bugs start sucking all over him. It eventually turns into some bug monster but nothing that Hinaichi and Ronaldo could quickly smash and get over it. To make up for this mess, Draluc bakes cookies. Hinaichi would love to have some and this is thing that occupies her entire report to Hiyoshi. Care to have a bug vampire too?
Episode 2C
Ronaldo is out so Draluc thought he could have the entire office to himself. Only, Fukuma is here! Actually he wants Draluc to review a game: Quest of Soul Gate. From Draluc’s reaction, you bet it is a sh*tty game. Playing it for 5 minutes will melt your brains! Draluc thinks he has no choice but to accept and will hand in his review once he is done. However Fukuma will stay with him to finish the game and review! Oh sh*t. This is going to be a long night. As the game starts, hope you are patient enough for this long ass loading screen. As everything in the game sucks and Draluc letting out his frustrations, he soon has to turn that excuse into some good review. Yeah, even Fukuma suspects it is a boring game so Draluc has to pretend he lacks focus or something. After all the bugs and annoyance, the game itself isn’t complete. Not sure what Draluc is talking about the incompleteness of life. Ronaldo returns and learns what is happening. Apparently Fukuma’s boss is asking him to review sh*tty games. Ah yes. Sh*tty games… So while Draluc’s review is not bad, looks like Fukuma is now hounding him for the next sh*tty game review. And the deadline is…
Episode 3A
Is there some sort of tournament where Autumn Books’ editors fight each other? Yeah well, looks like Fukuma defeats Sanzu and retains his right to be Ronaldo’s editor. Apparently Sanzu is a big fan of Ronaldo, the reason why she joined this editor. If only Fukuma didn’t get in her way. Since she can’t beat him with his monstrous strength, she’ll go directly to Ronaldo and have him request to change editor. Of course as a big fan, she fawns all over him and can’t think straight. Even if she tries to speak, she makes it sound so ambiguous like selling her body just for him. Luckily Ronaldo is dumb and also gets the wrong idea. Draluc hears about this and offers to help. He gives Sanzu an earpiece and she’ll do as she is told. Of course she flops. She tries to compliment him but it sounds like rubbing salt into his wounds. She too gets her fair share of hurt when he compliments her for working as Fukuma’s support. When all doesn’t work, it’s time to get up close and personal with him. Only, she does a wrestling suplex on him! Is this some reference for an action scene? Eventually when Sanzu is about to tell him the real truth, Fukuma thanks her for being his support. Now Ronaldo has ideas on what to write next. Yeah, Draluc is also on this take.
Episode 3B
Remember Sagyo? Oh, who cares? As Handa’s junior, looks like he gets roped into one of Handa’s dumb experiments to get Ronaldo. That is, to plant this celery fondue in Ronaldo’s desk to freak him out. They do so and as Ronaldo is heard coming back, Handa escapes leaving Sagyo in a lurch. He is forced to hide in the cabinet as Ronaldo discovers the celery and freaks out. This must be Handa’s doing! Being suspicious that Handa is hiding behind the closet, Sagyo is forced to be like Handa and play dirty, becoming the very thing he swore not to become. This means scaring Ronaldo off with a celery to make him think a celery ghost is haunting the place. Hinaichi is here and opens the closet. WTF Sagyo? His reputation is as good as dead when Handa returns and praises him for the things he has done. Since it is all his fault, Sagyo throws him out of the window! Don’t worry, he’ll pay for it.

Tsujigiri is about to kill him when Kantaro takes out this freaking big injection! Oh yeah. That guy is dead meat! Tsujigiri tries to slash him from the back but his thick vest means he is unharmed. Kantaro thinks the real deal slashed him and ran away. He forces Tsujigiri to come with him to look for the wanted vampire. Not sure how he thinks he’ll be in this izakaya but heck, Mimimi (Maremi’s younger sister) wants to hit on Tsujigiri and worse, Senya joining in! Tsujigiri tries to throw Kantaro off but apparently this leads them to the amusement pool where they play hard so as to camouflage their investigation.

Hiyoshi can’t understand Kantaro’s report. Is he actually doing his work or having fun?
Episode 4A
With Gosetsu out, Koyuki is left to man the guild by herself. Thus the yakyuken vampire thinks she is easy meat. Before he can start playing his stripping game with her, she does a few wrestling moves on him. Don’t judge a book by its cover. She’s equally tough. And suspicious. Hence he decides to pretend to be a vampire hunter until she gets her guard down to start that stripping game. However he is made to eat all of her yucky food. Yes, she sucks in cooking! Even when kissy vampire comes in to hunt for her next prey, she gets cooked instead! We’re not eating that! He then goes to help her cook and really finds her incompetent. He lectures her and this makes her sad. Could be the opening he needs but then she accidentally cuts her finger and a cricket vampire leaps out to get her.

He tries to get Ronaldo to say good things about Draluc but looks like he doesn’t have anything good. Not even Hinaichi’s praises that he is good at cooking. Is that all? So he sheds some crocodile tears and demands a few stuffs to be pacified. He thought this is easy but then WTF he is made to wear some cute kiddie clothes? Then he sneezes and reverts back to normal.

Meanwhile Mira is having a picnic with Draluc at the sunflower field outside his ruined castle. She regrets not having spending much time with him due to her job as negotiating between humans and vampires. She notices him taking pictures and uploading them. To who? Well, Draluc isn’t sure either. Perhaps his friends. Great timing as Ronaldo and Hinaichi find them thanks to those uploaded pics. John must be so great since Draluc regains his memories. He is surprised to see mom, though. She continues her lament that her work made them grew further apart so this was just her selfish part to spend time with him. Of course Draluc didn’t waste time in scolding her for doing this. However he also notes and accepted the kind of work she is doing. She is after all his mother. With Draus here, it’s time to let the adults have their own private time as Draluc returns home with the rest. So, Draluc prefers to die by Ronaldo’s hands many times than to be with mom?

Well, the big reveal is that Hiyoshi is Ronaldo’s big brother! I guess that fake moustache concealed his identity, huh? He was a vampire hunter but quit and joined the vampire control division. Ronaldo continues to praise him as an outstanding and famous vampire hunter and all. Wow. He really shoot beams out of his eyes too?! He was his inspiration to become a vampire hunter. But one day, Ronaldo saw a vampire attacking a couple. No choice, he attacked and thought he had killed it.

Outside his office, he heard Ronaldo starting to talk about him and hesitated to go in. Of course now we hear the truth from his side. All of Ronaldo’s praising, well, Hiyoshi became a vampire hunter only to get chicks! The real reason he quit was he was flirting around with a vampire chick and got bitten! Then Ronaldo decided to write his next story on him, Hiyoshi unconsciously barged in. But he smoothed it out and because Ronaldo still felt guilty for causing him to quit, he shows the injury on his arm instead of the shoulder. Since he cannot tell the real reason (Draluc hinting a vampire chick got him!), he piles on the lies that he fought an evil god and sealed it in his arm! Ronaldo so motivated to write his next chapter on him! Please don’t! Because if he does, some bad vampires may target him and release the seal! After all, his chronicles should be about himself. He wants to read more about him. Hiyoshi leaves after thinking he has solved this issue. But back at his office, his men are talking about rumours of Ronaldo’s brother. Shooting beams and having an evil god sealed in his arm!
Episode 6C
Ronaldo is almost finishing his next volume but just can’t find the right conclusion. With the deadline coming up, Fukuma thinks a retreat should help. Sorry, but it’s not the luxury hotel getaway. Down in the basement of Autumn Books, he is strapped to a conveyor belt and has 5 hours to get it down or he will slowly be seasoned and become fried Ronaldo for this bear to eat! Ronaldo thinks he has enough time but I guess Draluc messing around the machine to stop this madness, oh my, he accelerated things and now he has 5 minutes!

Be warned, there is a vampire hunter who exterminates vampires indiscriminately. Draluc becomes the first victim… By getting his sock stolen?! Well you see, Tabiko is a hunter who loves to collect socks and defeat vampires! WTF?! Isn’t she just a pervert?! Apparently vampires have attachment to their old property. So when they get stolen, they die from the worry of it. HUH?! We see her causing a lot of commotion as she steals socks from other vampires. Yeah, she’s more of a nuisance than threatening. She reveals long ago, she fought a legendary vampire. Cornered, she stole his sock and he weakened! Since they can’t let this pervert run loose, Draluc has an idea. Using Aud as a bait, Tabiko steals his sock but only to find Draluc hiding in it. Yeah. He got his sock back. Now what? Tabiko praises Draluc for his strength and so she’ll let him keep it for now. Ronaldo won’t allow it and punches her!

Since Hinaichi has been cursed by the lewd vampire and now her sentences has dick in it, she seeks Ronaldo for help. Draluc thinks Draus can do the job. Yes, Draus is very proud he is unrivalled in solving this. However as he tries several hypnotism methods, the curse remains. Oh my, Draus is getting disheartened from his failure? What fragile pride. He also tries other methods like substituting a similar sounding word but that also backfired since that substituted word now becomes the dick word. Even blurting out the erotic fetish method didn’t work and it made things worse. Hence, Draus’ suggestion is to make the entire world say the dick word! Normalize the word! Yeah, now everyone has dick in their sentences! Word of the year! What a dick. Uh huh. How hard is that going to be?!
Episode 7C
Oh my. Did John put on weight?! Since when an armadillo is concerned about his weight?!

John drinks it and Yomotsuzaka notes he has been tricked. Now hypnotized, he will experiment on John. Because John was watching some doggie video, he now acts like one. Yomotsuzaka can’t experiment on John as he reminds him of his dead pet. Hence he goes to seek other vampires in detention to solve this. Too bad he only wasted his time. As Yomotsuzaka ponders if John will become his dog if he doesn’t revert, Draluc is seen running into the facility looking for John. He gets caught by an octopus guard. John sees this and reverts to himself to go save him. Well, he gets captured too. Yomotsuzaka frees them. As he has lost interest in experimenting on John, he lets him return. After all, it is a master’s responsibility to look after its pet. Yomotsuzaka notes the time he has wasted as the only dog for him is Koro, now ashes in this tube. But soon Draluc comes back complaining since John is starting to act after those vampires. JohNudenium… Yikes!
Episode 8A
WTF this giant ass baby Nudenium walking around town?! The hunters try to take it down but every hit only makes it grow bigger. Worse, it is shooting out seeds from its ass!

Nudenium explains Yomotsuzaka was doing some sort of experiment and of course the supplement the baby drank turned it big. Yeah, it’s that mad professor’s fault again. He has a drug to neutralize it but somebody needs to get close and stick it in. Ronaldo will be the hero. If he can avoid those seeds, why the f*ck does he need to be naked?!

Thus they have to track down that bug to get back the key. Along the way, Tsujigiri has near misses of his identity being exposed because other vampire control division members are in the vicinity. Yeah, had to put this clione on his head and claim it is his fetish just to hide his face. Finally they track the bug but looks like it has turned into a moth. Now it attacks. Tsujigiri could have easily dealt with it but is not willing to expose his identity. Hence the duo make a run for it until they are cornered.

Yeah, no wonder that guy wants to die because all the embarrassing things the duo are spilling out. Some he doesn’t even know! So when it looks like Handa has more knowledge on Ronaldo (can tease someone if you don’t know him well, no?), Sanzu pulls off a blurry picture of Ronaldo. It’s a time when she first met Ronaldo when he saved her from a vampire attack. It was then she became a fan of his and took this photo. With the winner hard to determine, Handa decides to ask the man himself. Ronaldo is not happy and throws him out of the window. Sanzu herself jumps out since she is embarrassed. Ronaldo may follow suit too because Fukuma is here to collect his manuscript!
Episode 11C
Hinaichi reports to Ronaldo of numerous reports that females in surrounding towns are giving their blood willingly to a vampire. When she describes the icy smile, this puts Draluc on high alert. Don’t look now because Northdin is here. He is Draluc’s former mentor and the one responsible for shaping Draluc to who he is. Safe to say, Draluc doesn’t like him a bit. Northdin notes he is being provided for by a human so Draluc claims this is his town and it is under his control. Northdin would love to test him then. He goes to seduce and hypnotize all the women under his control. Yeah, using his weird charm, this smooth talker easily gets all the woman to fall for him even those who put up some resistance. Ronaldo and Draluc try to stop him but looks like he has a few women protecting him. Northdin then turns the guild into his base.
Episode 12A
Northdin challenges Draluc to take back his town. All the guys team up to get their women back. They manage to get into the base with this loophole. That is, cross-dressing as a woman! However Northdin’s charms can also work on a man so they still can’t touch him. However they already take that into consideration so they’re under the hypnotism of bikini vampire so his charm cannot override it. With this same logic, this means the ladies cannot be overridden by other spells. Draluc pulls out all the dumb stops to win and eventually when he gets naked and Hinaichi sees his dick, this breaks her free from the spell as she gives Northdin a swift punch. All other women are also freed. The guys try to apprehend him but Northdin escapes. He notes to Draluc that he has gotten stronger and be sure to get along well with everyone in this town. A victory but at what cost? Yeah, everybody’s modesty!
Episode 12B
Somehow everybody wins a trip to the hotspring inn. This is a nefarious plan by the hotspring vampire to gather them and then turn them into mineral deposits in his bid to rule Shin Yokohama. Only problem? He didn’t expect everyone to turn up at the same time! So you bet it’s a crowded field from the hunters to the vampire control division and even those perverted vampire kin are here! Don’t even mention Autumn Books’ staff! Yeah, hotspring vampire is going to have a hard time handling them all. Especially telling these bozos not to break the rules of the inn. Tiring. When the ladies are in, he tries to start with them. However they think they spot a pervert so he has to flee. Now that the ladies alert the guys, it’s a hunt for the pervert. Don’t mind those vampire perverts. Hotspring vampire decides to use his final tactic of gathering everyone in the hall and flush them all. When that happens, nothing happens. He goes to check the problem. Looks like the hotspring water is being controlled by Fukuma! So how this awkwardness? Oh well, time for a group photo instead.
Episode 12C
Don’t really understand this part because it is confusing and random. Like Ronaldo and Draluc naming crappy movies while John gives them points, eating some sushi roll in a certain direction, playing some rich girl act, making John say certain words, doing a short burst of dance and it all ends with Ronaldo killing Draluc with his fart. WTF?!
The Vampire Die-ries!
Well, that’s about it. More like the same from last season and to think there would be some final episode drama or plot but that would be just me overthinking and hoping for the impossible. Heh. So with Northdin just playing the villain to test Draluc and that really odd and bizarre talking skit between Ronaldo and Draluc like as though it is a cooling down segment after all the crazy and nonsensical things we have seen this season. Yeah. It’s been a blast. And Draluc has been blasted away into sand. Sorry for bad pun.
This season follows the exact same formula as the last. After all, if it is not broken, don’t fix it. But because of that, some may find this season to be nothing really new despite adding a handful of new characters. It’s just the same shenanigans and antics of our dumb lovable characters in Shin Yokohama, that’s all. I’m not saying that this season is boring as it is still enjoyable. But if you are hoping for something that would shake up the entire series, say, an actual storyline and plot to follow (Ronaldo, Draluc, humans and vampires must all work together to stop a megalomaniac from taking over the world! Yeah. That kind of plot) instead of random episodic episodes, then you would be sorely disappointed. It would have been an entirely different series altogether. Right now, we are here for the laughs.
As we all know, the series itself has a multitude of characters. This season introduces more of them and so the roster continues to bloat. Well, it is both good and bad. With new characters taking up a bit of the limited screen time, this means old ones are relegated to having lesser appearances. Some are forgettable and I don’t remember even popping up at all. Like I was certain they forgot about Maremi but they trolled me as she made her final episode cameo just to give me a slap in my face. Sheesh. However, because of how the series works and flows, you won’t be left wondering about their fate or anything since many of the skits in the episode are random. So it’s like they can just randomly decide to pick which character and then insert them into this particular act. You won’t lose much. Though, new characters themselves also don’t actually bring much to the table. You’ll just fawn over them in their debut because, well, new character. Then they will be relegated to just another side or supporting character.
Even the series’ main duo, Ronaldo and Draluc too almost fell into this sort of pitfall trap. Because there are some skits in which either one do not even appear and heck, some that both don’t even appear at all! But at least they appear once each episode. Not just every skit. After all like I have said, the amount of characters has bloated so everybody is fighting for some screen time. Got to make some old ones still feel relevant while at the same time juggling to give new ones a chance to shine. That is, doing dumb stuffs to let us be more acquainted with this new characters’ personality. For instance, Sanzu the big Ronaldo fan and Mikazuki the rookie vampire hunter who is, uhm, I don’t know, can anybody tell me more about this new character? And there I was thinking that some characters would be the season’s ‘final boss’ like Tsujigiri but looks like he is now doomed to be paired with Kantaro for some dumb antics. The duo can be a manzai comedy combo. Yeah, so much about that serial killer getting his fearsome reputation back. I also thought the same for Yomotsuzaka but he’s just a mad scientist who just wants to experiment, experiment and more experiment! I have got to realize that no matter how dangerous or threatening some characters may sound and look, they’re all just another bunch of dumbass idiots! Looking at you too, Tabiko!
Everything else feels much like home as well know such as Ronaldo’s fear of Fukuma for his repeated failure to stick to the deadline, Draluc still easily dies and turns to sand (is it me or does it feel that this season Draluc has less deaths this season?), Handa’s penchant to prank Ronaldo, Hinaichi continues to love sweets and the local vampires still doing their usual stuffs like Nudenium walking around nude, bikini vampire still putting on bikini on others, yakyuken guy still loving to play strip rock-scissors-paper and lewd talk vampire still making others talk dirty.
If there is one thing that I would feel slightly disappointed is that the best character of the series somewhat feels negligible. We all know John is the best character, RIGHT?! Very unfortunately in this sequel, he too fails to escape from overcrowded field and does not stand out as much as before. I think there is only 1 skit that John is put in focus and that’s about it. Often at other times, I would hardly feel this armadillo’s presence. After all, whatever past about John and his relationship with the sand vampire (Draluc but of course) was already shown in last season. Sad that there aren’t any skits that would remind us and make John feel like the most important character of the series! Nu! More like NOOOOOOO!!!
Other interesting insights to note is Draluc’s mom, Mira. It sheds some light on her whereabouts and probably why it took her this long to show her face but I guess personally that skit that she only appears in is the most heart-warming one. Hence perhaps the only character of the series in this context not to fall into that dumb character shenanigans because we don’t see her getting such idiotic treatment. Then the other one is Hiyoshi being revealed as Ronaldo’s older brother. I would not have guessed but alas at least this season he has more screen time than the last. Now we all know why he wears a fake moustache, eh?
On a trivial note, just like in last season, the next episode preview continues to be a dramatic piece of trolling material. Basically they show dramatic clips from next episode into trolling you to think that something major or shocking would happen. But when you watch the next episode, there is none of that threatening tension or hostility that was previewed to us. The usual dumb tomfooleries that is oh so the trademark of this show. Yeah, nice try but I am still not fooled by it.
With last season’s seiyuus retained, more characters joining this season to further add to the expanding casts include Ayumu Murase as Mikazuki (Menel in Saihate No Paladin), Mariya Ise as Sanzu (Levi in Fairy Tail), Seiichirou Yamashita as Kantaro (Kosame in Appare-Ranman), Atsuko Tanaka as Mira (Motoko in Ghost In The Shell series), Yuko Kaida as Tabiko (Sylvia in Spy x Family), Rina Hidaka as Mimimi (Last Order in To Aru Majutsu No Index) and Kenyuu Horiuchi as Northdin (Kinemon in One Piece). Sad to say that this season, the opening theme is not amusing and personally I feel it is close to being cringe. Last season we had Ronaldo and Draluc dancing to a disco beat which was awesome in its own right. This season’s New Drama Paradise by Jun Fukuyama (voice of Draluc) starts off with this weird group circling dance. Then it proceeds with some other hand rolling movements. I’m not expecting anything like Gangnam Style but watching this I just can’t help feel the cringe. Furthermore, the song itself sounds so gay. Ugh. As for the ending theme, TRD sings Cozy Crazy Party and although it sounds generic, although it is not as cringe as the opener.
Overall, while this sequel is still highly enjoyable with all its trademark nonsensical slapstick comedy, it doesn’t break any new grounds. I have to admit that the second season does not surpass the first but I can’t complain since there were many other sh*tty and disappointing anime series in the same season. Because of that, this series comes out standing higher in this context. Considering the format of this series, it is quite possible that this might get a third season. Yeah. Maybe third time is the charm. We all don’t mind seeing Draluc dying over and over again. Still better than seeing Peter Parker’s Uncle Ben keep on dying every time the Spiderman franchise gets rebooted or remade! Yeah, the nu-ance of death is nu-ts! Nu!
