Even though I was not too keen on the first season, the second season was much more up my alleyway. I felt like something was finally actually happening and that the characters, narrative and romantic elements were developing. Also, most of the supporting characters did not seem as throwaway and I was really impressed with Ishigami especially. I thought the eleventh episode, which was devoted to Ishigami in particular, was the best episode of the entire series so far. As with the first season, the jokes were not that funny although that could be more my fault due to my sense of humor. 7/10. ()
I can't help but give frequent nods to Jeoffrey's comments. My chin didn't find a single reason to drop in Series 1, yet the start of Season 2 made no such promises, as the central theme of elite non-confessional warfare (which was de facto the main driver of Season 1, especially as far as gags were concerned) was unpleasantly turned on its head. The anime stopped hiding behind the screen of a fairly ordinary romcom as soon as Kaguya loosened her knees and a batch of misunderstandings horrifyingly unoriginal for the anime genre came along. And yet! Despite the considerable gripe that new characters get minimal space, our favorite quartet made relative progress and always had something to offer, whether in terms of tickling the diaphragm or hints of bias towards their personal stories, namely Ishigami's. What I also have to appreciate are the damn apt allusions and excellent caricaturing or commenting on the funnier situations, artfully complemented by either the stylishly chosen music or the narrator's dry commentary. The freshness of the incorporated visual gags is unrivalled in the field of current anime, and the performance of Kaguya's dubber, the excellent Aoi Koga, must be singled out. Despite the fact that the storyline isn't very original and it drags substantially (and that's actually on purpose), I'm relatively satisfied with Season 2 of Love is War. A weak 4 stars ()
