Watching this second season was like going to your annual family gathering. You'll be with familiar faces, cross paths with distant relatives. It'll definitely be hectic and cheery, just a non-stop parade. There will be matters you'll disagree on; but end of the day, it's a heart-warming experience. Although the story-line feels a bit repetitive from the first season; the main Shimogamo brothers have developed in one way or another. It is like watching your own kids mature & join the 'adult' society, with a flair of mischief. The OP and ED are absolutely wonderfully, as they were last time. The colour palette of thisanime screams cuddly-ness, which can also be seen whenever a tanuki's on screen. I'm serious, there's not a lot in anime that'll evoke the same 'aww' I get from kittens or rabbits. But this, this they've nailed.

I think it's fair to say you can go in this anime without much prior knowledge. Personally, it was just so relaxing and the cast genuinely made me feel so welcomed; it's a lovely cup of a tea after an anxious day.
