Seirei Gensouki 2

After Rio escapes the capital of the Beltrum Kingdom with his former teacher Celia Claire and his bond spirit, Aishia, he finds himself in a dire situation once again. As it turns out, multiple people from his past life in Japan are suddenly scattered around the new world. Rio rushes to their help, saving a small group and taking them under his wing. To his surprise, one of the rescuees is his old self's childhood friend Miharu Ayase.

The newcomers were not the only ones summoned. With old friends and new allies by his side, Rio sets out to locate the other abductees while searching for a way to send them back to Japan. However, Rio never loses sight of his main goal: avenging his mother's death.

The second season of this show definitely feels like a lesser product when compared to the first. Where the first season had notable shifts and important story beats, this sequel series feels much more generic and bland in comparison. We find little of what made the original story charming; there are no more interesting shifts in character perspective, no more changes of scenery beyond simple fantasy, nothing that made the first season stand out. The majority of the season follows a plot thread of a generic battle that makes this season feel more like the second cour of a single 2-part season, instead of the ... follow up to the first season. It feels so generic that the battle drags to the point of being almost unbearable, even when sped up. I don't doubt that some people enjoy it, but I don't think most people will find the generic battles to be that enjoyable or even engaging. This season only really makes the first season look better by comparison, however it does deliver on some important character interactions that were lacking in the first season. The climactic battle is something that while unsatisfying in its conclusion is an interesting continuation of plot points which were only touched on in the first part. Overall it is a lower quality product than the first season but still surpasses most others in the Isekai-slop front.

Mixed Feelings

Well, sadly, whatever this anime had going on in the first season is mostly gone in this second one .

More importantly, we need to mount a rescue operation of this manga's author. Because after the first season hurt our eyes with that ... "animation" , there's no way they didn't kidnap the poor guy and are holding him in a dungeon so the same studio can crap a second season.

I couldn't believe it was possible when it was basically a slideshow for most of it's runtime, but they succeded . This second season looks way worse then the first .The main culprit has to be ... the CGI. It's everywhere. The monsters are CGI, the people are CGI, even the MC is CGI at this point. And it's the most atrocious CGI i've ever seen in an anime, and they are subpar on the average as it is. But with this one, it looks like it was put in front of a green screen before being animated with like 2 fps.

That being said, the story is once again pretty decent, although it did took a turn for the worse as well in some regards. Of course, the worse part is THE MC... You thought it was Kirito , but NO, IT WAS ME RIO,worse in every way you can imagine. They made him fully embrace the dollar store Kirito persona he's got going on.Only wearing kirito's black coat(i did say jacket in my first review my apologies) throughout the entire season. And slight spoiler since i really gotta call this... That whole not revealing to Miharu he's that Haruto... Only to name drop randomly at the end so she can have no time to think about it... Jesus Christ.

What can i say.... I can't recommend this second season unless you're invested in the story from the first season. Or you got a morbid curiosity. Otherwise just ... Don't .

I'm admittedly not a big fan of isekai. In my opinion, a handful of shows did the concept justice, and the past decade or so of attempting to emulate their success has been a fruitless effort.

Season one of Spirit chronicles, however flawed, had a decent enough premise, as to bring forward something enjoyable, that stood out in the sea of isekai, without being ridden with gimmicks. It got me invested , and I was looking forward to a second season.

The TLDR in case you don't want to read my full list of issues:
It committed the biggest sins of writing: ignoring obvious story beats, without ... replacing them with plot twists or subversion of any kind; having anticipation be left unanswered; making the protagonist boring; making the villain boring.

Season one did the following really well:
-Setting up exposition
-Making us like the protagonist, and get invested in his journey
-Had a good mix of intriguing antagonist, as well as caricature villains the audience cold love to hate
-Paced the culmination in an enjoyable way

Season two, however, failed at all of the same points:
-The exposition suffered from poor pacing, which made getting attached to the new characters hard
-The protagonist was watered down this season, and repeatedly failed at rewarding the audience, due to not landing some potentially great emotional beats
-The intrigue of the mysterious antagonist was lost. The returning snobs we loved to hate weren't handled well, losing the charm of watching them get their eventual comeuppance.
-The "new" villain, who was set up for a very exciting and emotional battle, got overshadowed by poor animation, dialogue pacing, hindered further by the way the protagonist was portrayed this season. So, there was no exciting finale to this season, despite great potential.

The story touched upon only one thread from the previous season, and did not let the characters properly address their feelings and talk about the biggest, most exciting event from the finale of the previous season.
