The Asterisk War Season 2 (Japanese audio) - Episodes 10-12 (Completed)
K: Return of Kings (Japanese audio) - Episodes 11-13 (Completed)
My thoughts on The Asterisk War are roughly the same as the first season. The second season is mostly a battle arc that honestly was pretty interesting for the most part. There was a sub-plot that occurs which was a bit daft but it gave the MC some form of having to go through some character development to tackle the battles. The final arc of the season is not the best way to wrap up the show because it's just a bunch of sub-plots that are not that investing and it's also setting up a sequel which, as most of you know by now, is pretty much a "read the light novel" ending (as A-1 Pictures and Aniplex never bothered to provide a third season, considering they were trying to make this series the next SAO and basically failed). It's not a terrible show but it's not a great show either, it's just fine. A low 6/10 for both seasons in my opinion and nothing higher.
K: Return of Kings is surprisingly consistent with the first season and its film Missing Kings. In fact it goes straight into the story introduced from the film and actually wraps it up pretty well. Honestly the franchise overall has been pretty unexpected, and while the animation is just an experimental bizarreness that makes the editing of Bohemian Rhapsody look like basic math and the fanservice of the female characters is okay but not really needed (there's no nudity but it just doesn't fit in with the cast and tone ~ and I'm saying that as someone who loves fanservice in general), the show as a whole does the job very well. Each clan group, though their main frontlines MCs that is, get their spotlight and the main villain was intriguing none-the-less. Some characters do get thrown in and immediately tossed aside but overall it's better than expected. 7/10.
