Arifureta 2nd Season Review

Overall Rating 6.8 out of 10 - Overall, a solid sequel, with the same good and bad points as the original.

I recommend watching.

Second season of Arifuretra did not make any major breakthroughs, but it also has not failed in any major way either. 

There is somewhat less contrast between episodes. Nothing made me want to drop it, but at the same time nothing really gets me too exited either.

Unfortunately, they do little to exploit Tio's masochistic tendencies, or make fun of Shea's naivete. I wanted to see a lot of Tio's torture, but alas. 

On the other hand, Yue does not drink much of Hajime's blood, and he does not suffer too much from enemy attacks either. Some improvement here.

Hajime is still only partly relatable.

Miyu and her mom are too impinging in their attempts to be a family with Hajime, but they are left behind mid-season. On the other hand, their village looks cute, reminds me of Maldives.

The strongest point of the season was a fight with god's puppet angel. Suddenly main cause of war came into focus and moved closer to an ultimate resolution, where Hajime party will kill God and Hajime will rule the world as new God. Unfortunately, afterwards the party took another detour to something else.

Overall, it is a good show that I can recommend watching. It can develop towards an interesting conclusion in future seasons.
