Masamune-kun's Revenge R

Tiago_Vaz_007★ 9

The anime had a very promising start in terms of romance, but also a bit strange with the introduction of a caricatured, flashy character, surrounded by unlikely things. That said, it didn't focus much on this secondary story about the Frenchwoman Muriel and at one point left this plot completely aside. Another positive point of this beginning is that it made rapid progress in overcoming the Kanetsugu problem, resolving it in a very satisfactory way. Kanetsugu had been introduced at the end of the previous season, being hated by the public, and causing damage to the experience of almost everyone who only watched the firstseason. Generally, I have no problems with works divided into seasons, but not in this case. The anime presents significant changes in the perception of several events that were being developed in the first season, since they were not yet finalized. Some things that seemed bad in the first season turn out to be great in the second. In this aspect, Kanetsugu's arc was particularly affected, since the seasons divided him in half. In addition to this arc, the perception that the anime conveyed about Yoshino and Aki is completely changed as a result of major revelations and excellent new arcs. Therefore, it is likely that the rating for the first season would be much higher if everyone who voted had seen the entire second season before voting. Without a doubt, it is one of the best animes of the 2023 summer season and, without a doubt, one of the best romance animes of recent years. With a difference that there was no need to overuse sexual appeals to be a captivating work. Much of this is due to the fact that in terms of the story it is always progressing a lot, presenting a great rhythm, giving closure, bringing twists and turns and various surprises. Furthermore, it is capable of awakening emotions and winning over with quality content. Finally, it is extremely gratifying to see the author's care in relation to all the elements so that they can fit together in a precise and surprising way later in the work. Although it is not an uncriticable work, it is imperative to recognize the merits of the author's excellent writing work. After due acknowledgment and clear recommendation, it is necessary to mention some problematic points, but which do not significantly interfere with the satisfactory experience. The Frenchwoman is a character with some relevant moments, therefore, she could not be completely erased from the plot, but overall she is a character that remains a lot, giving the impression of being just a filler made by the original work. The worst thing is that even though it seems like they tried not to develop the character so much in the anime, they highlighted and developed her enough so that she shouldn't be forgotten like the plot does. They created an unnecessary dilemma, where they understood that focusing more on what is left is bad. Therefore, they chose to leave an arc without an ending, as it seemed to be the least bad. In my opinion, they should have given even less focus to this character from the beginning, as reducing her participation would not leave the impression of something unfinished. The other point that could be improved is that, at times, the anime exaggerates too much to produce humor and not only does it not work but it ends up not having adherence to the work. In this aspect, what stands out most is the protagonist's mother, a short girl who behaves and looks like a little child. My final recommendation is for anyone who saw the first season a long time ago to please review it before watching this second, as you will certainly see the beauty of this work more clearly.

This man Masamune is a walking contradiction, holy sh8t, don't recommend for people who hate idiots, similar to the guy from Fuuka. He became a woss and a pssy from the first season for some reason, and didn't know what he was doing with his life midway through this anime. this is so far my 2nd least liked anime of all time, the story and his character development basically made absolutely no sense Is the story unique? If it was predictable, did you enjoy it anyway because you like this genre/set-up? no Do you think the art style is fitting for the story? idk Were the characters well-rounded? Did theyhave flaws and strengths, or were they unusually strong/smart/stupid? very stupid Did the characters react to situations and events in a realistic way? NO! Do you think others will enjoy/dislike this series, even if you didn't? Why? character development is so stupid
