Also, Sempai has a single fang, which isn’t uncommon for anime characters, but it’s flesh-colored in the show. I feel like she’d be a fun character for the other weirdos to play off of. Do wish Madara-san (the chemistry club member) would show up more. It’s an amusing show even if most of the characters have garbage personalities. It gives everything a real breakneck feel, and the jokes rarely have time to settle in before the show moves on (and the punchline is often fan-service provided by the titular Sempai). This is another of those half-episode length series, and yet they wind up cramming in four or five seperate segments in each one. Now known simply as Assistant, he spends his days with Sempai as she hones her magic skills and tries to conquer her crippling stage fright. He winds up getting roped into the magic club by the hot sempai who runs it. On his first day of high school, an antisocial kid’s plans to go home after school every day are ruined because the school requires every student be a member of a club. Still trying to figure out how I want to write those posts (yes, plural). I still have one franchise I want to talk about that I binged a month or so ago. Normally this would wrap up the Summer of Anime, but not this time. Second, I tend to ramble when I don’t have much to say, so I wanted to see how much I could cut down on my writing. I know it’s much shorter than usual, but there are a couple of reasons for that. It’s an 8 out of 10!…but you already know that.Īnd that’s gonna do it for this Seasonal Sawce. I do wish the season ended on a higher note, and I really, really wish Aisha would have joined the main crew, but this second season of the main story is still a supremely solid addition to the franchise. I know the stories don’t play out quite as epic as they do in the novels (or so I’ve heard), but I do think the anime’s staff has done a bang-up job of presenting Bell’s efforts to the audience. It was great getting to come back to this cast and world, and I find myself really invested in Bell’s journey. The whole reason Dan Machi edged it out here is simply because I looked more forward to it every week. Spoiler for the end of this segment: It’s an 8 out of 10.

Yeah, no changes on the board this season, although Dumbbells came close to unseating DanMachi II.
