Yet again continuing the -saku series... here's Shusaku Replay! A confusing mess that while enjoyable to watch isn't particularly well written, let me elaborate... The story: Starts where the last season ends off, except it doesn't and retcons the ending. This time around Shusaku is actually pretending to be the principal of the academy and takes advantage of the girls like that. The highlight of the show is still the girls' interactions and the stuff that they do, while the actual writing of the show is rather mediocre. Much like its predecessor, Shusaku utilizes blackmail sex as its main story component, which would be fine if they actuallymade Shusaku any more interesting. For some inexplicable reason Shusaku isn't voiced until episode 3, it's almost as if Tsuji Shinpachi just forgot to come in when they were dubbing it.

This entry yet again focuses on our returning protagonist, Eri Takabe, hunting Shusaku down and trying to help the other girls. At the climactic confrontation between our two battling foes, it's revealed Shusaku actually realizes he's part of a game, which probably made more sense in the visual novel but whatever, and that the entire story takes place on some random dudes' computer.

Definitely an odd ending to the series that I felt had potential but was rather poorly handled in the long run.

The art/animation:
Unlike the previous Shusaku season this one was NOT animated by Production D.M.H, instead the animation fell to ORADA COMPANY for episode 1 (mistakenly credited as ORADA CAMANY) and PP Project for the other three episodes. Because the character designer was Toshihide Masudate it ended up looking just as good as the previous season. Also, no more glowing yellow penis!

Sound:
Still extremely weird and it still doesn't fit with the theme of the show. Also, a -saku season without Tsuji Shinpachi's voice for two episodes really hurt, I sure hope they don't end up pulling that again!! *wink wink nudge nudge*

Overall:
Still not a bad watch but the ideas presented in here are quite poorly implemented and the pacing is still all over the place. The best part about this entry is the last episode by far as it features the most development Eri and Shusaku will ever get. Should you watch this? If you enjoyed Shusaku S1 and you want to be confused for 2 hours, sure! Other than that, probably not. All in all, I'd give this a solid 6/10.
