Take My Brother Away 2 · review
You know you're knee deep in anime when you see a story about 2 siblings, and can give it credit for not focusing on questionable incest relationship. When I saw the first season of "Please Take My Brother Away", I was surprised for several reasons.. other than it not being a story about sisters that do lewd stuff to each others. The first one was the art. As this is a short anime which episodes are around 3 minutes in duration, the original art style and simplistic animation made it truly stand out. The second was definitely the comedy as I made several friends watch thefirst season by simply showing them a scene about eating pizza. It was definitely the funniest eating scene that has ever been animated. Rumors say the restaurant owners still don't know where the last pizza slice went.
However, it's now time for the 2nd season, and its best part is already the fact that it exist. Thanks to Fanworks (the studio behind several other short comedy series such as Aggressive Retsuko and Honobono Log) for once again making sequels that needed to be made.
It starts with military training and gorilla warfare memes, followed by auctions and fund rising bidding wars, and more badass eating scenes which are even more over the top than before. All of these end up being a disaster because -you guessed it- no one took the brother away.
As a conclusions, in case some more abstract comedy is needed, head to your closest whatever and give the first season a try. As it's only around 30 minutes in length, it will be a fast one. Then come back to the perfectness that this second season is... or don't, I don't really care.
