Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou 2nd Season (2024)

Look, it's sort of trash. It's basically filled with tropes and the harem one is the worst of them. Why then am I giving it high scores? The story is actually pretty decent. The twists and turns between the tropes are not bad. They set Hajime up to save the day and never show him actually making the shit he pulls out of his ring, but I can forgive this because I have read the trash webnovel which does a bit. Enough to deflect criticism at least. But largely not at all.

And yes, the harem makes the characterisation of the girls a bit redundant, but ...

Arifureta is not the best Isekai show ever, and it is not even close. There are plenty of shows that are better than it when it comes to quality. It is, however, the most Isekai show ever. Everything anyone has ever liked or complained about an Isekai makes its way somehow in the series, which makes this show one of the most insane ones you can ever watch. There is a car-crash feeling about the show, which helps it stand out in the best of ways.

There are bunny girls, vampire girls, dragon girls, and mermaids in a single harem. There is magic in the setting ...

Arifureta is the epitome of a bad isekai, that somehow barely avoided the trash can

It has everything:

--> Bad writing: Several plot contrarieties and inconsistencies, things previously established are ignored, and characters that act out of character

--> Bad pacing: Every problem or story is done too fast or too slow, and most of the time without any real or meaningful climax or payoff

--> The repeated generic Isekai tropes, monsters, world, motivations etc. That only exist to fill the world, but dont get much, if any, development

--> And it also manages to be a worse sequel, as apparently it has now committed more to a serious tone, ...

There is no other way of describing Arifueta beyond, Trash Anime.

The first season was bad, yet extremely enjoyable, the second season has addressed many of the issues, and is just as enjoyable

They actually spent money on Arifueta this time around.
The animation has improved, and the laughably bad CGI is nowhere to be seen.
The OST is pretty decent

There are still some pacing issues, but it's better than before
and the issues with a lack of characterisation is still there, but it's mostly present with the wider cast. But as the wider cast has more of a role this time, their lack of character is a bigger issue ...

This is my first reviewing because i don't typically review anime in this site but here i am.

Let me start with, WHY?

I've found unbearable to watch if you turn your brain on for most part, you'll see some flaws, more flaws, and even more flaws. But let me get started in one by one in each category

So...after the massive disappointment that is Season 1 back in Summer 2019 that's rife with production woes, novelist Ryo Shirakome's storywriting that while is highly praised in the LN, was such a misnomer in the anime adaptation due to plot pointers that was glossed over in favour of the rushed pacing that's directed by the now-deceased Season 1 director Kinji Yoshimoto, is Arifureta still the same trash-worthy Isekai as it was back when it released? For good or worse, it's still quite mixed.

For the sequel that's led by Corpse Party director Akira Iwanaga, the story is (obviously) continued from the events of Season 1 that ...

The first season of Arifureta was outright bad, but it also had transcended to the realm of “so bad it’s good” territory. Just like movies like The Room, it was very enjoyable to see it as schlock that unironically tries to take itself seriously and fails at every step. The second season no longer has that appeal simply because it’s not so bad anymore. It’s actually better and that makes it worse.

You might be a bit confused here, so let me explain. The horrible script and animation have improved in the second season and now they are just bad. The edgy revengeporn is gone and ...

Arifureta Shokugyou de Sekai Saikyou 2nd Season is the highly anticipated second season of the popular anime series that follows the adventures of Hajime Nagumo, a high school student who is transported to a fantasy world along with his classmates. After being betrayed by one of his classmates and falling into a deep abyss, Hajime must use his wits and newfound powers to survive and find a way back home.

The second season picks up where the first season left off, with Hajime and his friends continuing their journey in the fantasy world. From the very first episode, I was hooked by the show's blend of ...

Arifureta is my guilty pleasure. For me, this second season was 7, but overall i guess it is 6. It was less enjoyable than the first one, but did improve in some ways.

If you absolutely hated the 1st season, the 2nd one will not be any better. There are less coldblood Hajime moments, less cool ass pulls, less edgelord... All of the things that made arifureta distinguish itself from other harem powerfantasy isekais are less apparent in this season. This is an absolute disappointment for me, as it was mainly the reason i liked 1st season. The fact that Hajime learned from his weaknesses and ...

Arifureta Season 1 struggled mostly with two things:
1. Fucking awful CGI
2. The skip it does from a whiny good for nothing MC into a budget Devil May Cry clone. I think if they have spent more time building the character it could have been decent and it was a waste.

Beyond that it's what you would expect from a Harem Isekai OP MC show so if you dislike Power Fantasy with a passion there is no middle ground here. Power Fantasy is fun, but what makes Isekai fun are world building, characters and the plot itself. If some of the proportions are good enough it ...

Loved the show, but the only thing that won't sit right with me is the reason why he wants to return to his world, you've already become the most powerful lord in another world, where magic and things you can't even think possible IRL exist, and yet somehow you wish to return to your world where you'll most likely have to work a boring 9/5 for the rest of your life. Make it make sense.

Overall I think the show was great, lot of fun and ridiculous moments, I wouldn't go too hard on rating an Isekai Harem, it's well written enough and has a lot ...

“Ahh…the return of the “why boner”...with a VENGANCE!” -Alucard, Hellsing Ultimate abridged

Arifureta is probably one of my guilty pleasure shows. While I did find season one to be a crappy edgefest with early PS2 cg, it was at least fun to watch in a “so bad, it’s good” kind of way. With its popularity back in summer 2019, it was going to be inevitable that it got a sequel because if there is one thing I’ve learned lately, is that if you want a sequel, your best bet is to be an Iseakai. So what do I think? Has it actually improved or has it ...

This second season presents numerous improvements compared to the first, which is why I will recommend it and why it has gone from having a rating of 5 to an 8 for me.

The differences between the first and second season lie in the way the characters are developed and much more progress is made in the main plot of the story. In the first season, it was simply the adventure of a depraved character who captured waifus and performed quite mediocre dungeons. In this second season, you can appreciate much more the main plot of the story, which revolves around the struggle of God and ...

Too many flaws to reach the passing grade.

3 years ago I watched the first season of Arifureta and I ended up liking it a lot, so much that I gave it a 7/10 mark very close to the 8. Apart from the classical Isekai scenario, the plot is immediately directed towards an astonishing character development of the protagonist, Hajime Nagumo, fighting against everyone and everything just to survive and so becoming literally OP. Deserved. He lost and he gained. I have to admit that 6 marks out of 7 were thanks to Hajime's character and personality. The biggest flaw was CGI, undoubtfully: it's not a ...

Great anime. 9/10. Good story, impeccable character development and a strong mc. Couldn't ask for a better isekai anime. You can't say your an anime fan if you haven't watched this masterpiece

There are many reasons why this anime is a hit, but the number 1 reason would be Nagaimo (MC), he literally started from the bottom to become the strongest. His character is also very interesting, he acts like he doesn't care and takes down anyone who stands in his path.

Another reason; HAREM!! The MC (Nagaimo) is always surrounded by beautiful women who are loyal to him. It makes the MC more attractive and ...

This is what a 'sequel' is supposed to be like. Not losing its identity while fixing many issues from the prequel.

Weird pacing -> fixed.
Not giving time to other characters -> fixed.
Making the story a little emotional and 'kinda' darker -> done
Repeating the same jokes -> like always

and many more...

In short, I really loved the prequel a lot. Even though it was nowhere near perfect, all the main cast characters always have the plot armor, but still. It still was a really good sequel. The ones who made the season 2 actually listened to the viewers and tried to fix them. Even saying so, there ...

Arifureta.... Is not good isekai. Season 1 was **very good**. The characters, something new... I hoped the season 2 will be better... And the result? Actually, is not bad but guys... THE CGI wtf... why new studio called Mother is working on something like Arifureta, i know... new studios need to learn something but why Arifureta, the season 2 is a disappointment to me due to cgi...

My recommendation?

If you want to watch isekai with medium story... something "funny" Arifureta is a good choice, but if you want something with good art, CGI... You can watch something better

You will find a lots of better isekai
