It mainly focuses on Bishamon, a god of war who is often at odds with series protagonist, Yato. The season explores more of their character and some of the small hints that were tossed in during the first one. To start off, there is very little relation to the first season. In fact, you only have to see a handful of scenes from it to understand season 2. That said, I would still watch season 1 even though I don't consider it to be quite as good (it's still good). The main difference is that S1 was mainly a comedy with some dramatic elements and S2 is a drama with some comedic elements. The latter works much better in this case as the dramatic elements in S1 were rather cringe worthy. The comedic stuff in S2 seems like basic comic relief. It's never as funny, but is more a welcome change of place. The story is actually pretty decent. The first half is undoubtedly the stronger of the two arcs though. Bishamon gets significant character development. Mainly because we knew nothing about her back in S1 and now we have a pretty complete picture of who she is. In fact, it's mostly side characters from S1 who get it as there is not a whole lot more to do with the main cast overall. If you've seen S1 and liked it there is little reason not to watch S2. If you've seen neither I'd suggest you check it out. It's a fairly easy anime to get into and despite some question marks it remains to be a fairly well developed anime. 77. Bakuon!! https://myanimelist.net/anime/30795/Bakuon This is another cute girls doing cute things show. This time it has motorcycles. It follows along 4 (later 5) girls as they go on what are basically motorcycle road trips together and stuff. What differentiates this from other moe type anime (besides that there is a talking motorcycle) is that there is a higher level of ecchi content than normal. It doesn't always show a lot of skin but the show knows how to fully extend its apparent pg13ish rating to do things not even some uncensored atx anime broadcasts can successfully do. The five girls in the show are surprisingly enjoyable. One of them has frizzy hair, she's great. Also, Celty's sister is in the show. There is no character development besides Hane (the main girl) like getting better at motorcycling but that's not the point of the show. Oh, there is also a rich girl who has her butler drive everywhere since she doesn't have a license. There is no story. But the comedic segments are often over the top. It has some of the funniest skits of the year it aired with some of the best ones being like the Bike Jesus and the Spurned Wife (or ex or something), and the motorcycle race. There are also those ecchi scenes like the hot springs and motorcycle washing ones. It's a show with a lot of good highlights for anime fans with very few lulls. I think the art is important enough to talk about here. Bakuon is no where near what I'd call "good" the overall designs do make all the girls look very attractive, another thing that is rare within this genre. They just give off more of a sexy type vibe. Bakuon is not for everyone and there are a LOT of better shows within a genre that has become pretty oversaturated but if you want something that is a little different than what you'd normally get and don't mind ample amounts of fan service, give it a go. --- Kokoro's Anime Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCaIA0gY11FQ_Zh6kLSam5OA Updated: July 27th, 2016. <cite>KokoroAkechi posted [p:886039502] in Kokoro's t...
