Kimi ni Todoke 2nd Season (Kimi ni Todoke: From Me to You Season 2)

After a momentous New Year's vacation and with Valentine's Day approaching, Sawako Kuronuma is beginning to get along with her classmates. However, now that Sawako has realized her romantic feelings for the popular Shouta Kazehaya, she grows hesitant toward giving him obligatory chocolates and decides to not give him any. In turn, Kazehaya, who likes Sawako, feels a distance between them.

As February ends and April arrives, the second year of high school begins for Sawako. Luckily, she ends up in the same class as her friends Ayane Yano and Chizuru Yoshida, along with Kazehaya and his friend Ryuu Sanada, in addition to the newcomer named Kento Miura. When Kento develops an interest in Sawako, Sawako and Kazehaya's feelings for each other are put to the test.

This season was better than the first season in some ways, but also a lot worse. It drug out needless drama, and it got annoying at times. It had some very cute and wholesome moments. Those moments don't make up for the tediousness of the other episodes. Plus, the side cast felt like props during this season. Like, they were just there to lift up the main cast. Though I do think this season was more fun, and a lot funnier.

I recommend watching both seasons. They were definitely worth it. Though forewarning, this season will ...

English.
It is noted that the quality of the animation increased even if only a little, even so they also lengthen the main plot too much, which is the romance between our two protagonists, from the beginning they made a conflict with two characters to further lengthen the plot (one of them its existence is only to create love conflict for the protagonist), it really extends what we all want to see (the confession) unnecessarily, they could have done it in only 4 episodes and it would have been good (besides, it would no longer be necessary to put another type to lengthen the season), although ...

Just stop after season 1 and you're fine.

I gave the first season a stellar 10 and here's a 'bad' rating for the second season, a 4, a "less than mid" score. In many ways this is a 1, but... There's a point to what it does, but how it delivers and moves the story along is disastrous.

It rips everything away that was achieved, replacing it with contrived and frustrating drama that comes off as completely unrealistic.
Worse, it leaves you feeling distrustful of what's going on because the story goes out of its way to disappoint your expectations and almost becomes predictably pessimistic and negative. ...
It takes a first season of what was a comfortable warmth and replaces it with a mess just to stretch out the inevitable conclusion.

This is not a matter of taste, this is poor writing, the second season is narratively dissonant to what came before it.
Characters act like they've swallowed an idiot pill. The supporting cast is always somewhere else when it's crucial they're there and conveniently they never ask because suddenly it's more respectful not to ask or say anything, when before it was to do what was right, because "daisuki".

After a first season stretching over the course of half a year, the second season immediately skips two month from where the first season left off with zero development to valentine's day and then skips another two months right after. Before every day mattered and now there's this gigantic double time skip that completely ruins the conclusion of the first season where Sadako got a phone to keep in touch with her friends and Kazehaya - a phone that she learned to be on the initiative with. All gone. Why? So that the season can end on the school festival in 12 episodes.

The themes of standing up for yourself and speaking the truth despite feelings are all gone and instead of clearing up misunderstandings, which was the strong point of season 1, they create more. Sadako becomes obtuse and cripplingly insecure. Kazehaya becomes a crybaby wimp.
People ask Sadako a question that's hard to answer and a quarter of a second later when she doesn't immediately reply, they walk away with a "ah, I understand" attitude despite the self same characters knowing that she needs a while to get her words together, because that's how she reacts when faced with a perspective she hadn't thought about.

This all makes for a broken and unlikable experience and it lasts for most of the season before the final 4 or so episodes where you can't trust what's going on anymore.
You've been served a turd on a plate eight times in a row and now the show finally serves you what you asked for. Are you going to eat it? It'll taste pretty good in comparison, but was it really worth it?

Well... kind of.
It's not the ending that matters anymore, because that's no longer the story the writer wanted to tell.
The story is "why" the two characters love each other and to push that question through a painful process to get a worthy answer.
Practically the answer isn't worth it. You've just watched 160 minutes of misery to get an okay answer and frankly I don't think it was worth the time.

That's why this season isn't unwatchable, but why it's definitely bad.
