*This review is based solely on my opinions and little critical knowledge.
The second season seems not to have as much of comedy as the first one, but starts to bring more purpose
to the series as we got a new goal for the main character (with the magical school and the limit time to break
his curse)
The timing of some serious/romantic scenes feels a little bit too fast, if that makes sense. At times, it feels like
they just got thrown there in the middle and cut in a weird abrupt way.
the cgi choice seems to limits the characters'
...
expressions and dynamic in their designs, also, the lighting
in most scenes feels flat. It's a bit of a bother, since we have more serious moments in this season, and their silly
movments and limited face expressions end up subtracting from the wanted atmosphere.
For me, personally, the cgi itself is not that big of a problem, but some scenes would feel much better with a
better lighting choice that would suit the moment. Doing that would distract the audience from the dullness of
the models aswell.
About the characters, the Second Son really is the funniest XDD since the first season, all scenes with him were the
funniest. I know comedy is pretty relative, but i think a lot of people might think the same!! He's just so funny.
Daleth's interest for him is so sweet!! Their first scene together was really sweet, the moment he called her beautiful
i started shipping them. Am i to blame? Their personalities complement eachother's really well and do a lovely dynamic.
I do hope they don't make it too fast tho, the Second Son is really immature for now, i at least hope to see he getting
more mature as he realises his interest for her or something like that. A slowburn would be nice...
Talking about Daleth, i was a little disappointed when she turned into a cutie not-so-evil character so quickly. I don't
feel like we saw a lot from her and simpathized enough with her to already see her development. The pacing is really
fast... That's something that bothered me a little since the first season (about the fast pacing).
For example, the anime didn't show us much of Cuff being frustrated for being weak; it happened once in episode 10 and
then she was already super motivated to get stronger. It end up feeling like it came out of nowhere...
It would make more sense if Zain was the one determinated for training, since he the one who always showed his
frustration for being so weak and not being able to help Cuff.
A crazy shot was seeing Alice not have much reaction literally seeing her mother she thought was dead for deadass
years. Sure, she had a reaction, she was surprised... But that's really all?!?!! We don't even see her reflecting about
the fact. Man. Her mother. Who she cares so dearly for. Who she thought was DEAD. We don't have a deep character
reaction about it and it's kinda crazy.
I suppose the writing will stay like this so i'm just ignoring the flatness and taking it as "this anime simply
doesn't take things too seriously" and moving on. It doesn't make the anime bad. (It had potential to be something
more tho).
I like how creepy Shade can be.
I love the opening and ending. So good. So sweet. Suits them soo well!!
Well what the fuck was this last scene?!?!!?!?! Great job of making me hooked for the 3rd season ahaha we have to
agree sooner o later the stupid idea of going to the past so suddenly without any preparing would lead to some weird
things in the present, but i wasn't expecting that. Well if there's something we can learn from this anime is
ALWAYS WATCH UNTIL THE END!! lol

What a lovely romance. Duke and Alice have a really pure love for eachother, dispite them being very naughty XD they still respect eachother and act with naturality, and i love how open they are about it. There's no need for trying to hide their feelings, wich is something more romance animes should learn...
The atmosphere is so charming, the cold weather, the soundrack, the piano pieces were a great choice, even the characters' appearences and cloth choices added to that. It is a great one to watch all cozy in your room.
The animation might be somewhat polemic with the bold choice of using CGI,
...
that could have gone pretty wrong, but it was done so well, and for me personally, added even more for the atmosphere. Doesn't it remind you of those good old YouTube indie animations? XD it is so nostalgic and cute, it was really well made! It brought such charm and originality. The backgrounds are also good and look like they came out of paintings, the choice of addiding different textures to each is the cherry on the cake.
The whole season was pretty light to watch, the comedy made me laugh sincerely!! It is so good xD AND so well balanced with the comedy! Big praise! We have a lot of lovable and funny characters, and the effort to develop a bit of all of them is noticeable.
Briefly about the opening and ending, the chosen songs weren't really fitting of the anime, in my opinion, but that's normal to see in anime haha.
Overall, it is not very dramatic even though it has such a potencial to be, but it is natural due to the story showing them 2 years after reuniting... So it felt more like an introduction, wich is not bad. The season ended in a good dramatic way, showing the main couple's past and giving Duke a goal for the next season. Excited for it, then.

The idea of having 100 girlfriends is very interesting and chaotic, wich is probably what bring most readers to this manga... The thing is: will the writer be able to properly work with this?
I read until chapter 11 and can confirm things are bound to actually happend. The protagonist is more likely to EASILY have 100 by the end of the manga. Although, that seems like exactly the problem: it's too easy. The relashionships have 0 time to actually develop, characters have no conflict at all wich is SUCH a waste, because until what i read, them all are pretty unique and have very creative
...
traits. The girls simply accept their boyfriend getting a new girl everyday as if it was some kind of hobbie. They don't even question it, i swear, this feels more like a guild than anything.
Many would say the protagonist is such a cutie patootie, and a respectable man, and he actually seem to be, BUT that's barely shown to the reader, so it doesn't really convince me. Even protagonist's personality should have been worked on more. The girls don't seem to have any self respect and already get all wet just by having a little of time with the protagonist, wich doesn't even has a big personality. The developing time is ridiculous.
The comedy is good, i certainly had some genuine laughs with this, wich made me keep up with the manga, but when it focuses more in the romance side, it's just so boring and make me wanna drop the more i read. It's even ironic having a chapter for fan service, since many of them just start to feel like a nothing-burguer filled with fan-service.
If this manga took itself seriously, it could have been something really enjoyable, with character conflicts and the good comedy at the end of the day (besides the funny point of the manga, wich is having 100 girlfriends at the end of the manga). But they opted for the classical nonsense harem (not surprised). It's even funny, the chapters start to get like "oh, (character) is so cute. *Kiss them*";"oh, (character) is so sexy! *kiss them*"; "oh, (character) is so beautiful! *kiss them*", LOL, it's just 100 girlfriends, kisses and blushes only for the sake of having it, because the reader can't actually feel something with this.
