Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun 2 Part 2

Due to frequent misadventures with the supernatural and her hectic school life, Nene Yashiro can barely catch a break until Kamome Academy's annual sleepover event comes around. Nene is excited to blow off some steam with her best friend Aoi Akane and the rest of her class at the get-together. Unbeknownst to her, the sleepover falls on the same date as Urabon, when the line between the dead and the living gets distorted, allowing wicked spirits to come out to the surface.

When an evil ghost is about to attack her, Nene is rescued by a mysterious figure: Shinigami, the Sixth Wonder that can trap souls using his flute. In that moment, Shinigami takes notice of Aoi and abducts her to use her as a sacrifice that will close the barrier for good. Joined by Hanako-kun and Akane Aoi, Nene must embark on a journey into the deepest confines of the world of the dead to save her best friend before it is too late.

I need a season 3 more than air. This entire show has been a masterpiece from beginning to end. Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun is a fantastic adaptation of a fantastic manga. The art style is incredible, the plot is phenomenal and INCREDIBLY dark despite the "kiddish" feel the anime sometimes has, and above all, it made me cry multiple times. The way it sets up its plot beats is masterful work by the creators.

If you like Madoka Magica, Princess Tutu, or any of the following traits in a show:
- dark
- plot-heavy
- modern/magic mix
- unique (and stunning) art style
- sprinkling of comedy
- with romance on the ... side
this is a fantastic modern anime for you.

This is a show that could make me cry one minute, then laugh the next, only to stare in horror at my screen after that. Most people reading this have probably already seen the show so far, considering it is being posted on the second cour of season 2. But this is an anime that deserves every bit of praise, even the ones shouted into the abyss.

Critical (and biased) breakdown of one of my favorite shows of all time. This is an INCREDIBLY NITPICKY review of a 10/10 show:

ART: 9/10
> The art style is unique and true to the manga. Colors are vibrant and pleasing to the eye. Color and style are also utilized in a few key episodes to evoke certain emotions in the watcher by deviating from the anime's standard palette. Point lost for the characters looking a bit younger than they are (in my opinion), and for the occasional off-model shot.

WRITING: 9/10
> Plot starts slow, but ramps up fast. Definitely an anime that benefits from the 3 Episode Rule, but the plot only gets more interesting (and heavy) as episodes go on. Point lost for a personal opinion of mine, which is that the use of comedy after a serious scene can detract from the experience at times. Some watchers may enjoy this; however, I found it a bit frustrating. This becomes less prominent in Season 2.

VOICE ACTING [ENG DUB]: 9/10
> Voice actors match the characters well, and their delivery in emotional scenes is phenomenal. A few of the voices may be annoying to some, as with all anime. Point lost because a few (very young) child character voices have the same voice actors as their older selves, which is a little jarring to hear. New voice actors for the very young children would have probably been ideal, but overall, it doesn't detract from the experience too much.

MUSIC: 10/10
> One of my personal favorite soundtracks for an anime. Great mix of dramatic and silly, depending on the scene. Songs fit the scenes perfectly, evoking the emotions of the scene and raising them to the next level. No notes. Openings and endings are all bangers.

this is my first review!!! but omg. where do i begin with season!!! I’ll start off with the op, THE BEST OF THE SEASON!!! it truly fits with the tbhk theme and it’s super catchy! The story this season was SSOOOO good, so much suspense with some sprinkle of romance for all those who need that in their life. I wish this season was longer…but sadly we’ll have to wait a while seeing as though there wouldn’t be enough manga to adapt for a new season. #HANANENE4LIFE!!! I love how much depth this story has… you think it’s just some ghosts causing havoc but it’s ... so much more than that.

Mixed Feelings

'Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun Season 2 Part 2' has a solid fanbase, and it is a solid anime. I'll be brief on what I like and what I didn't like because I have already written about how it has a unique art style in previous reviews.

First of all, I am impressed by the animation of its OP. If I didn't know the anime, I might mistake it briefly for any of the OP or ED of the Apothecary Diaries, which everyone knows has solid visuals.

Let's get straight to the point. I was a bit bored with this, and it doesn't seem to have that much of a ... compelling theme compared to Part 1 of Season 2. Hence, I score this a 5 out of 10. That's just me.

On the upside, if you're a fan of this franchise, it might be the best season yet, owing to the fact that 1) we get to more of the backstory of Hanako-kun and his brother, and 2) there is a nice romantick development, which is probably a major reason why about half or so of its fans are watching this.

In conclusion, I have mixed feelings in that I did not enjoy this that much, but I can see where other people might enjoy watching this.


NOTA BENE: A rating of 5 out of 10 means that 1) I find this anime to be average, 2) I enjoyed it to some extent, but it has some flaws. 3) Or simply, I rank it below my 6's but above my 4's.

A 5 means a passing score. If you're the kind of viewer who treats anything below a 7 as irredeemable, I'd encourage a broader, more nuanced approach to rating.

My enjoyment spectrum lies from 4 to 10. If I have scored an anime below 4, I actively dislike it.
