Review of Student Council's Discretion Level 2

Seitokai no Ichizon Lv.2 turned out to be an overally more enjoyable experience for me on the grounds that the girls from the School's Student Council didn't behave nearly as hostile or demearing towards Sugisaki as they did on the first season of the aforementioned show. I guess it could only make sense by that point; after spending such a (relatively) long time working and getting to know him plus seeign just how far he would be willing to go just to make them happy despite not getting (or even expecting) any remuneration for doing so, the girls have finally reached the conclusion Sugisaki genuinly lovesthem despite all of his flaws that more often than not involving some sort of pervertness on his part.

This precisely is the first major difference you will notice set appart Seitokai no Ichizon Lv.2 from its prior season once starting watching (the other one beign of course, the significantly better animation when it comes to its characters and the way they move): If the first season derived most of its humor from the abuse inflicted on Sugisaki by the members of his self-proclaimed "harem" this second part pivots more towards meta commentary on anime tropes and the Otaku culture that has formed around them. A type of humor that, while present on the first season, took largely a backstage role as the aforementioned abuse and hilarity of the of the setting were the element the show derived most of its gags from (this is not to say, however, that Sugisaki ends-up completely scott-free of abuse this season; quite the contrary, he quite deservedly gets beaten-up after perving on a girl or two a couple of times. It's just that this type of violence-derived comedy goes into the backstage as the aforementioned meta commentary becomes the drive that moves the series from here forwards, just like the meta commentary did in the first. A sort of a switch when pertaining to this topic, if you will).

But don't get me wrong; the fact Sugisaki's relationship with the girls get elaborated on DOES NOt mean Seitokai no Ichizon shifts towards beign a romance anime. No, Lv.2 is more than anything a direct continuation (or even extension) of the Seitokai no Ichizon we all know and love, and Seitokai no Ichizon has always been a comedy over a romance, Lv.2 staying true to that formula from its beginning to end.

Sure, we might have a moment or two of sentimentalism between the characters, we even got a whole episode about it and few new characters who do nothing but complicate things on that aspect, but let's be serious, everyone watches Seitokai no Ichizon for the comedy, not for the romance. Don't expect to much advance or development on that topic because beyond superficial level there will not be, be aware of what you are getting into.

We also got a few more moments with everyone's favorite perverted-for-her-age loli; Toudou Elise, which is quite epic if I say so. And as always, some of the funniest moments on the whole series happen from just her beign around. A nice adition to this new season overall, if you ask me.

In conclusion: Seitokai no Ichizon Lv.2 delivers us with quite more of the same we got on its first season besides some notable differences with the overall plot formula of the show and few artistic decision than differ from those of the base IP. Tons of meta humor and comendary intertwined to create a very strong and decent comedy that is Seitokai no Ichizon in general. It might not be for everydoby, that is true, but fans of this type of entertainment (who I know are not few) will no doubt find it enjoyable. Go and give it a chance, its far from the worst thing the anime industry has produced and it has its moments, I can guarantee you that.
