Isekai Maou to Shoukan Shoujo no Dorei Majutsu Ω Review

Overall Rating 5.3 out of 10 - Barely passable.

Watch only if there is nothing better.

This is a second season of the show with the same name. Already original was not all that great as its premise suggested. However, it somewhat held and was more or less enjoyable. 

Second season made that even worse. It added several more characters, most of whom are not that cute. Even someone like automated maid Rose seem lack in cuteness and gentleness half of the time. Lumachina only cute no more than 15% of the time and Laminitus not at all.

Plot is also noticeably nastier and uglier that the first season. Unlike shows like Black Lagoon or Jigoku Shoujo here all this darkness does not serve plot well. Instead, it ruins rather cozy fantasy setting of the original rather than add up to the setting. Dark setting works well with shows than can be considered classical tragedy, while shows that closer to classical comedy could only be ruined by it.

There are some likable scenes and characters, like for example harem of rival Demon Lord, but they are few and in between.

In fact the only thing that more or less makes this show passable are occasional fan service scenes in episodes 3, 5, 6 and 9 if I remember correctly. 

I watched the original a while back so held some expectations for this. Until episode 5 I wanted to drop. Episodes 5 and 6 rejuvenated my interest and then I carried on with the last few episodes simply because I already finished 80% of the show and at this stage I wanted to see it to its conclusion.

Overall, I do not recommend it, but it's not as bad as some other shows out there. Also, first season here is better than second one by large margin, so rather watch that one.
