The Eccentric Family 2 · review
The original Uchouten Kazoku was a light-hearted masterpiece, brimming with interesting characters, a unique premise and a rather heartwarming story. Uchouten Kazoku 2 captures all of the dynamic of the first but falls short of the original. Story: 9. While simplicity is Uchouten Kazoku's strength, the second season is rich with plot twists and the story progresses well. Though in places the pacing is off, ultimately we're left with a great story, even if there are a few inconsistencies. Art: 10. Personal preference, but the art style of this anime is perfect. Vibrant, a little goofy but well polished and clean. Sound: 10. With the powerduo from the original OP and EDs, fhana and milktub ensure that both seasons have a great beginning and end. The OST is well placed, appropriate and composed with the story in mind.
Character: 10. Every character introduced in the first season has been developed, along with new characters introduced in this season. A rare and hardly obtained feat, this alone speaks volumes for the characters. Each character has depth, intrigue and by the end of the series, they have grown into respectable people/tanuki/tengu with the familiar idiocy which makes them so comfortable to watch.
Enjoyment: 10. The show never has a dull moment.
Overall: 9.5.
