Anime 49858 Shinigami Bocchan To Kuro Maid 2nd Season Reviews

Bocchan Season 2 is fluff of the highest order. It’s a very cute watch with some really good romantic developments and awesome CGI. If you enjoyed the first season it’s a no brainer to watch this one as the story is substantially better and the character relationships have finally taken shape.

While I really liked Season 1, it was a little lacking story wise. You had really cute moments between Alice and Bocchan and Cuff and Zain’s relationship, but the quest to cure Bocchan of his curse seemed like a backdrop. In this season, it’s front and center and drives the developments of the season. Every ... episode feels like solid build-up. We finally get some lore about Bocchan’s past and the events that led to him being cursed as well.

There’s a much bigger focus on the supporting cast in this season as well, which I really appreciate since Cuff, Zain, Daleth, Bocchan’s siblings etc are all hilarious and great in their own ways. Of particular note, Cuff and Zain’s development was a joy to witness. Various ships sail over the course of the season, so if you’re a big romance fan you have a lot of good stuff in store.

Like the first season, CGI is amazing. It took me some getting used to in the first season, but I’ve really fallen in love with this art style and can’t imagine it being told in 2D now. It brings so much charm and makes it a unique watch.

I had so much fun watching this this season. Every episode went by in what seemed like moments and I’m really going to miss it. While the story was consistently good throughout, it got even better in the last few episodes and I think season 3 if it comes, will be another step up in terms of quality. Here’s to hoping we get it.

Bocchan S2 gets 9 out of 10.

The Duke of Death who cannot be touched, and can only be tempted by His Maid, is back for Season 2, and is still ongoing for Season 3 next year...I see that the reception is rather low and dwindling (a noticeable 25% drop in member counts, and a staggering 90% in user counts), especially if you didn't like the premiere season that came out back 2 Summers ago in 2021, partly in question towards the choice to go full CGI on this one, courtesy of SMDE a.k.a Shogakukan Music & Digital Entertainment.

Well, I'm sorry to say that the naysayers will never be silenced, for 2 ... Summers ahead in time, we finally have Season 2 of "My maid is in love with me, but we STILL cannot touch each other". And since there is enough material from mangaka Koharu Inoue's already completed manga to cover, we're officially now past the halfway mark of the manga, I hope that the anime can continue to adapt the remainder of the story towards the end for a completed adaptation in time to come (but save for Season 3 next year first).

The crux in Season 2 for the character cast is twofold: finding a way to cure Bocchan of his lingering curse that has been there since the beginning, as well as the coming of witches of Cuff and Zain, especially with the latter's magic, which could very well be the key player in helping Bocchan reverse the curse that was put on him, that coincidentally, could help Alice's mother Sharon be awakened as well. And it all hinges on finding the witches that were held responsible for this big affair: the current leader Daleth and her older sister Sade, which aside from being the main antagonist, she's physcially dead, but not soulfully dead yet. Even Sade did not spare her younger sister safely, scarring her for life by being disfigured with a head close to a naked skull, which Daleth uses her magic to hide it by showing her as an undead witch. It's a long way to recovery, for Bocchan, Alice, Cuff and Zain's queries must now be questioned by outsiders who know the witch business fairly well, and their services in full aid for the main cast to reach to the answer they've all been seeking.

Otherwise, everything pretty much stays the same as per Season 1, from the characters to J.C.Staff and SMDE's overall production, these are not likely to change as the seasons gloss along. What's different this time is the new OST for Season 2, and while both the OP and Nasuo's ED songs are good, I still have the emotional attachment from Season 1, so it's just a teeny step down.

There is progress, though this progress is in time to come. So, let's wait until Bocchan's curse can be broken, in Season 3 coming next year, garnering for the end of the story.

Season two has come to a close, and is leaving me wanting more!

Continuing from season one, we get a deeper dive into the lives of the main cast. With romantic twists all around, getting to understand why certain characters act the way they do and how their current struggles are actually helping them pull forward and try even harder the next day.

Although most of the animation is CGI, it gives the anime even more character and makes it stand out in the crowd. OST gets stuck in my head after episode. Lastly, I'm always hoping for the best for our young duke Viktor for he's ... always meticulous about how to approaches everyone around him with a smile and fantastic attitude.

They are back at it again fellas, back to making one of the sweetest cutest "don't judge a book by its cover" anime of all time!

This season was a lot more focused on working with what was built on season 1 and less plot development, which is great!
Everything season 1 introduced either got used or developed, if season 3 closes out the plot threads that season 1 opened and season 2 refreshed then this anime is a 10/10 when it comes to overall plot pacing

Honestly I am not even sure what to say after this, if you liked season 1 you'll like season 2, if ... you loved season 1 you'll love season 2, if you hated season 1 you'll hate season 2.

The CGI's beauty grows on you, but if you watched S1 then you know that, as for animation mistakes, I didnt notice anything too jaring, just a few inconsistences here and there, nothing major.

As for the characters, this show does an amazing job of keeping the plot bouncing between a few core characters, we get some extras here and there on this season but you don't even need to memorize their names and get a whole read on their personality, its great.

Such a good show, if you're a 12 year old who only watches anime for big boobies please watch S1 and S2 so you can turn into a normal human

9/10

Title: "The Duke of Death and His Maid Season 2: A Stray from the Charming Duo"

"The Duke of Death and His Maid" Season 2 brings back the visually captivating world and entertaining characters that fans fell in love with during the first season. However, this season takes an unexpected turn by shifting the spotlight away from the central characters, the Duke of Death and Alice, and exploring other secondary characters. While this may provide depth to the overall narrative, it might leave some viewers disappointed as it deviates from the charming dynamic established in the initial episodes.

One of the strengths of Season 1 was the ... sense of impending resolution, leaving audiences eagerly anticipating the next developments in the Duke's curse and his relationship with Alice. Season 2, however, introduces additional characters and plotlines that feel more like filler than necessary progression. This decision might leave viewers questioning the direction of the series and whether the focus on new elements was truly warranted.

Fortunately, the animation quality in Season 2 remains a strong suit. The visual appeal and unique aesthetic of the series are upheld, contributing to the overall immersive experience. The characters, both old and new, continue to be entertaining, maintaining their charm and adding enjoyable moments to the show.

Despite these positives, the dilution of the core narrative with unnecessary plotlines and secondary characters ultimately impacts the quality of the series. The initial focus on the Duke's curse and his relationship with Alice created a compelling narrative that resonated with fans. The diversion from this central theme in Season 2 may result in a sense of disappointment for those who were invested in the original dynamic.

In conclusion, "The Duke of Death and His Maid" Season 2 maintains its visual appeal and entertaining characters, but the deviation from the central storyline and the addition of unnecessary elements may leave some viewers feeling that the season falls short of the expectations set by its predecessor.

First of all maybe you would like it but i didn't.season 2 depends on what type of tings you like to watch.season 1 was very good and watching the maid and Duke's relationship was really cute.
Some background characters with their own story. It was cute and good to watch. But season 2 felt like it ran out of ideas. It was Basically a season to do side characters development.Rather than that it was same shit as season 1 between Duke and the maid playing and making naughty jokes which becomes boring.we have seen enough bruh.
The other thing I didn't like about the Duke character ... is he is so damn pussy hiding inside his maid's skirt all time. His brother has more guts straight going to the witch leader to ask about the curse. I mean like come on , he is the main character he is supposed to do something rather than playing with his maid all time. The zain character is more like a main character who is powerful, has a burden , and actually try to protect someone in action rather than yapping about it all time like Duke(mc).
And the animation, which is I am not so fond of, it's very 3d feels wired. It was even worse than season 1.
To be fair I am not a fan of this type of loveydovey anime but i watched it to just know how the curse will break.So maybe i was more disappointed.
