Review of No Guns Life Season 2

No Guns Life is a show that knows exactly what it is. Don't watch this show expecting a mind opening experience because you aren't going to get it. No Guns Life is just solid, decent characters, decent story, memorable character designs, it's like if you got your favorite item from a restaurant you think is kind of mid but gives you a lot of food for cheap. Coupled with Madhouse behind the wheel and you have yourself a worthwhile experience. I will say that this season focused on aspects of the show that I didn't find as necessarily interesting as season one but it was definitelyfar from mediocre.

Speaking of Madhouse, I think one of the first things people said about the show is also its biggest weakness, this feels like a Madhouse show from 15 years ago. And because it does it has this out of time sort of feel where this really isn't an era for this show to come out despite the transhumanist messaging. I think this show needed a good ten years for it to have the impact it could've had. Something else that is a bit of a shame is that this season in particular serves to set up events to come but there most likely won't be a season three because Madhouse doesn't do sequels and I'm sure this didn't do amazing. Obviously having the second half of your a split cour show be delayed definitely doesn't help your ratings I'm sure.

Even writing this review I wish I had more to say about No Guns Life but I think I will finish off by saying, if you think contemporary anime has gotten too meta and pretentious then this is the story for you.

If Hideo Kojima, Creator of the Metal Gear franchise, being a fan of this series doesn't tell you anything about the show, then I don't know what will.
