Kaguya-Sama is back to bless us with great writing, hilarious moments and hijinx this spring season. As a manga reader, I can assure you that the content will improve from here on out, not like the first season is bad.
Story: 9
-The story is very simple, whoever confesses first loses and Shirogane and Shinomiya have immense pride in having the other confess first. But this season, we noticed how closer they've gotten with various events going on, like the birthday arc, the election arc etc. There has been an on going narrative alongside great comedy moments in the middle.
Art: 10
-A relatively yet iconic art style and direction unlike no other. The art is standard A-1, still great but the directing and art direction this season is phenomenal and glorious for the eyes.
Sound: 9
-Lots of new tracks for this season and they are still memorable. The OP is funky and catchy, while the ED is still good, I prefer the first ED. Also, great sound direction and used at the perfect moment to capture the scene and atmosphere.
Character: 10
-One of the strongest points of the series is the character, every single one has a unique characteristic that helps identify who is who. Everyone having a unique quirk and not going out of character and VAs that give the character life is impeccable. Remove one character from the series and you will notice a downgrade in the dynamic and chemistry, while adding a new character just improves the interactions. It is easily noticeable this season on how far everyone has grown since season 1.
Enjoyment and overall: 10
-Great dose of romance and comedy makes a perfect series to just sit back, relax and enjoy. Everyone needs a series like Kaguya-sama especially during the pandemic going on. With season 2, there is a change in atmosphere for the better, it feels like things are starting to go forward, we got to know the characters so we are rooting for them plus whichever decision they decide to pursue. This season proves how this series is a comedy series that will always be remembered as one of the greatest in the anime medium. Even if the jokes do not land, but seeing how there are no shoujo cliches which might harness the chances of the main characters to confess, the series focuses on the journey to confession, rather than who will confess to whom.
