Synopsis

Now in possession of the Edens Zero, Shiki Granbell has gathered the Four Shining Stars. With the help of his new friends, Shiki will be able to breach Dragonfall—the border of the Sakura Cosmos swarming with mechanical dragons. Once that is achieved, he can continue his quest to find the goddess Mother.

Before the Edens Zero crew can advance their journey, they notice a mysterious warship following them. Upon learning that the ship—the Belial Gore—belongs to Drakken Joe, Shiki and his crew attempt to infiltrate it, intent on figuring out why the Dark Alchemist is after them. In the process, the Edens Zero is taken hostage by Drakken's subordinates.

Though they are in a tight situation, Shiki refuses to back down. Working together with his friends, Shiki will have to take down the Dark Alchemist if he hopes to make it out of the Belial Gore alive.

Edens Zero to me is one of the best “grand adventure” anime out there. It’s a shame that it’s been so overlooked, but it really deserves the praise. It’s got such a unique and interesting world, great characters and it doesn’t shy away from dark themes. A must watch for any action and adventure fan.

I liked Edens Zero season 1, but I felt at some points it dragged on and had a lot of empty space. Season 2 is an end to end roller coaster of emotions. There’s almost nonstop action and Shiki and his friends are constantly having to overcome new challenges. The antagonists ... feel imposing and the stakes are well done. There’s a true sense of gravity(pun intended) to every battle. The world building also opens up a lot more in this season. We finally get to see other parts of the cosmos and get a sense of how vast this universe is, including all the various species, people and abilities out there.

What gets me the most excited about this story is that Mashima has an incredible way of making you feel like you’re on an actual quest with these characters. We’re not just watching things play out, but actually being immersed in the story. The best way I can describe it is as the old Toonami anime from back in the day. You know how you’d come home from school and turn on the tv to watch anime. It just felt like you were part of the story with the characters. That’s Eden’s zero for me. Few shows in recent years have had that. Dai no Daibouken, Black Clover, but I think EZ might do it the best. It is really easy to fall in love with this story and characters.

I really appreciate that they weren’t afraid to test character deaths out in this season or showing blood as characters get shot. It just really feels like a more intense experience that subverts some usual shonen tropes. The first half of the series with Drakken Joe as the antagonist is genuinely nerve wracking at times. I remember thinking to myself “how are they going to get out of this” at several points and just being amazed at how Mashima-sensei wrote himself out of situations.

The action scenes are way better this season too. JC staff just seem to have upped their game completely production wise here. Pacing, art, fight choreography it’s all really solid. No complaints on the technical aspects.

Edens Zero S2 takes the series to a different level in my opinion. It’s definitely a more serious approach to the story and expands upon the lore introduced in season 1. Every single character has time to shine and grows substantially. It’s a complete improvement over the first season and an awesome watch.

Edens Zero s2 gets 9 out of 10.

Edens Zero is back for its second hurrah, and it's more of the same Hiro Mashima goodness that was Season 1 back in both Spring and Summer 2021. But sadly, director Yuuji Suzuki passed away before Season 1 ended, and re-living the fright to hear this news just as the season wrapped up 2 years ago, it was (and still is) heartbreaking to hear because Edens Zero was his first and only full series where he got the reins to direct a show of his very own and invest heavily in the anime adaptation. R.I.P Yuuji Suzuki, you had a good start as a promising ... director, but life had decided to cut you short of your potential to be a rising star. The cosmos greaves in your coveted name.

With all of the condolences out of the way, heading right into Season 2, we continue the adaptation of Volumes 9 to 16 of the manga, compromising from the ending of the Sakura Cosmos Saga with the Belial Gore and Edens One arcs, to the near end of the Aoi Cosmos Saga with the Red Cave, Foresta and Sandra arcs just right before the notable big war that is the long-winded Nero 66 arc. That will be the Prelude to the Aoi Cosmos' war (which will be the main focus if the producers decide to continue with Season 3).

Obviously, new revelations come as they go, and Shiki and Co. face new friends and enemies on top of the same challenges that led them in this space-continent journey, which has not seen an end to itself. Just about the new things that are put into focus, from the resurrection of the Demon King Ziggy's true devilish intentions from raising Shiki as his very own, to the eventual end of the big bad evil from the height that was built since the 2nd half of Season 1: the man of destruction himself, Drakken Joe. Also, Shiki's pursuit to find Mother's remnants is just as strong as the heart's objectives would allow, and with frenemies like Drakken Joe's elite force of the Element 4 (each contributing to the stability of the Dark Alchemist himself) and returning characters like Skull Fairy's Space Pirate Elsie Crimson, the battle of the Aoi Cosmos slowly creep in, enlarging the playing field amongst a lot of the players involved, as Shiki and Co. realise that they're not on their own this time with Edens Zero and (eventually) the Element 4 on their side fighting for the peace of the Cosmos, which rages the fight between humanity and robots.

Without the promising Yuuji Suzuki, director Toshinori Watanabe was called upon to continue the former's good work, and although he has quite the resume to his name, he kept the format largely intact as how the late director would've wanted it to be: good pacing and action-oriented settings, with Hiro Mashima's progressive character development making up the lack of attention that Season 1 got 2 years ago. To be fair, the sequel had noticeable improvements over the prequel, though that difference I wasn't able to notice since it retained the same intriguing elements from 2 years prior that kept my attention glued to the small screen, so that's an OK thing.

Along with J.C.Staff's continuous good work under Toshinori Watanabe with decent to good production values, the OST was sadly one area that felt kind of average. Takanori Nishikawa's OP song for the 1st half may not have the same pumping-action feel as Season 1, but for a TNNK song, it's still as good as it can be. Lozareena's 2nd half ED is just a nice, calm and mellow song, and it's a good reliever of a song from all of the action. But the others, like ASCA's 1st half ED and Tani Yuuki's 2nd half OP, forgettable at best.

Edens Zero is still Hiro Mashima's pinnacle, and my overall thoughts have not changed since Season 1. But the one thing that I do know is that the Battle of the Cosmos is not over, and it'll bring everyone together for one colossal fight that'll determine if good or evil wins, deciding the fate of the Cosmos.

I'm pumped for more, so that should go without saying.

Preliminary (10/25 eps)

Well how do i say it!! I didn't liked it. After watching season 1 i was waiting for the season 2 but for me it's a total disappointment. The second season starts Very quickly and we see the villain. they doesn't explain who is he ,where did he come from? what is his motive!! Just a bad guy who wants a times skip powur. First time i was like oh strong how they gonna defeat him? But after episode 10 they easily defeat him like he is a a bad guy from filler episodes. I watched like 10 episodes and there were no good action ...
