I really don't like how the new season feels like a completely different story with all the new characters and new random mythological stuff. There is definitely more of a focus on the supernatural and different kinds of supernatural now. Meanwhile the first season had a proper balance of somewhat conservative usage of supernatural and normal human reality - the co-existence of humans, tanuki and tengu that the first 30 or so seconds of every episode was promising us. It now completely feels like some story about mythical beings and the human world has very little to do with it. We even have other mythological beings walking around and the characters go to other worlds. The new characters too don't feel as well written and incorporated into the story.
As a whole for me the second season is actually completely missing the charm of the first one. It is not bad, if I try very hard to look at it at its own thing, but when compared to the first season I just feel unsatisfied.

>>19608I think it went a little beyond that.

>>19612Well, yeah, that's what happens when you try to troll your way out of a loaded gun pointed at people, but then other people decide to troll you. A furball gets shot.
I wonder what Benten's reaction was. We didn't get to see it. Most probably deliberately. Kaisei's reaction was perfect, just the slightest amount of movement, but pronounced enough to leave an impression in the viewer.

I was actually rooting for frog niisan to marry Kaisei.
I'm not sure what to think about she being Yasaburo's weak point.
But then again, I am not very smart. I just know I very much enjoy this show.
No.19658
>>19650I was also rooting for Frog niisan. But the whole season followed Yasaburo slowly giving up on Benten, so I had the feeling they're gonna do something like this. Besides, it's true Kaisei and Yasaburo were always quite evenly matched, unlike Yasaburo and Benten. And that is indeed important in a relationship. We'll see where this goes. They'll most probably manage to pull it off.

>>19715Imagine the sex. It would be so angry and literally magical that it would probably destroy the entire city/Akadama-sensei's reasons to live. I want it to happen. But it won't.
Still, I'm hoping for an angry kiss.
I missed tanuki!mama in her man clothes. Yaichiro continues being the moest. Frog-niisan is attractive in a strange way. Shota a cutest. Yet this season has not given me Yasaburo in a skirt, and that is a tragedy.

>Yet this season has not given me Yasaburo in a skirt, and that is a tragedy.Are you 100% sure you are not me? I've been lamenting exactly this since the start of the season.
Just look at this sexiness. Frog-niisan is definitely the most attractive guy in the anime. No.19768
>>19750This episode was good to us frogfags. His soothing voice and beautiful face are such a wonderful combination.
And hey, maybe he'll get a loli after all. A brown one, to boot!
Also, fuck Tenmaya.
No.19770
>>19768She managed to achieve "best girl" status in a few short sentences. I can't believe it.
And Kaisei also showed a more Yasaburo side of hers.
All in all, the couplings are forming up. And we have the end-of-the-season drama in place. What's left for us to wonder is how exactly will it play out between Yasaburo and Benten. And will we get Yasaburo in skirt this season.
No.19773
>>19770Seeing frog-niisan get a new loli made me happier about Kaisei and Yasaburo's inevitability. I wonder what that says about me. Probably that I'm a degenerate. But, oh, what would a frog at the bottom of a well know about the sea?
I misused that badly, didn't I.I can't believe there's only two more episodes to go. I don't want it to be over.
No.19785
>>19783I think he's a new character, since evil uncle has been confirmed dead and I can't think of any other recurring character that may fit the bill.
I also don't think he actually wants peace between the families. Like they said, marrying Kaisei to Yasaburo would help cement said peace. Him rejecting the marriage means he doesn't want either Kaisei to marry of Yasaburo to grow closer to them.
I assume whoever he is, he's the one controling Tenmaya and will keep Kaisei and Yasaburo hostages to mess with Yaichiro's trick magister thing.>>19783
No.19786
>>19785Yes, he is probably someone that wants to marry Kaisei himself, but I just wanted to imply that he could be Kaisei and it would be funny if he was. Most tanuki don't seem to be evil, but like to fuck with others. I don't like the idea of killing one evil tanuki to get another one.
No.19787
>>19786No, no, stop. Think about it. What if Yasaburo was in Kaisei's place? Would he actually transform into his own brother in order to stop the feud and get his younger brothers in place? Would he refuse a marriage proposal with his love interest just to make things more exciting?
He totally would. We all know this. And we saw Kaisei giggling like a Yasaburo in the last episode.
tl;dr: I think you're onto something here.

My fun theory wasn't just wrong, it turned out to be the worst possible thing. I knew it there is no reason to be hopeful about this season. It just doesn't feel the same.
And then there would be the implication that Kaisei probably helped Soun and she knew about it all along.
