Review of Ascendance of a Bookworm Season 2

Honzuki no Gekokujou: Shisho ni Naru Tame ni wa Shudan wo Erandeiraremasen 2nd Season (2020) What a season, for me the first season and its OVA were very good but not so amazing. I found Maine hard to like at the beginning and the story was a bit slow in my opinion. But here we have a superb second season that blew my expectation away. For a continuation they really pulled out the stops which shows the author did a great job with their content to allow such an adaptation. This season has twists and turns, the evil and good of noble society and some realstory progression that is satisfying. You get so much out of this it was superb.

The art is much the same as the first season and its OVA set due to being so close. I would say in some ways it is much more refined in its finer details.

The OP is good but I prefered the first seasons. The ED is better and flows nicely. The general world is superb but I would have liked more depth in the magical sounds.

Characters ie Maine develops heavily and she gets some tough characters to deal with and the consequences are legitimate. You get some really great storytelling with this one. Seeing Maine take on retainers proved a first real push and then the second ones were handled great. In the end, we have a great cast of characters.

Overall, I would absolutely ask people to watch this. Be warned like me you may have some crying moments, especially in the last episode.

In the end, we get a and so the story continues style frame but I am unsure if that is a season 3 or read the rest. I would go by the ratings thus far in the hope this will continue through animation.
