Nige Jouzu no Wakagimi 2nd Season

After the tragic events in Kamakura, Tokiyuki Houjou has overcome the worst and started restoring his noble family. His next goal is incredibly ambitious—retaking Kamakura, no matter the cost. However, achieving his goal proves difficult as the region goes through turbulent times while its people are exhausted from their uneasy lives.

To make matters worse, some of the current rule's higher-ups are hot on Tokiyuki's trail and hope to expose him. But alongside his skilled and treasured retainers, Tokiyuki will do anything to rebuild his realm as he utilizes his elusiveness in both combat and speech.

Mixed Feelings

Preliminary (8/12 eps)

The Elusive Samurai Season 1 was honestly just too good. I enjoyed it so much that I was genuinely looking forward to Season 2 and couldn’t wait to see where the story would go. But after watching Season 2, I have to say I just can’t compare it to the first season.

That doesn’t mean Season 2 is bad, though. The animation is still really good, and the comedy is definitely one of the highlights. There are plenty of fun moments, and visually, the anime continues to look great.

My biggest problem is probably the pacing. Sometimes it feels a little too slow, and there are moments ... where the episodes start feeling boring because the story takes too long to move forward. I just don’t get the same excitement from this season that I had while watching Season 1.

Still, I’m definitely not dropping it. I’ve already enjoyed the series too much to give up on it now. Maybe as the story progresses, that same excitement I felt during Season 1 will come back. For now, I’m just waiting for that moment to happen.

Overall, Season 2 is still good, but Season 1 set the bar way too high for me. Hopefully, the anime picks up again because I really want to feel that excitement again.
