Rinne no Lagrange 2 Review


Here we have another sequel to another surprisingly popular enough anime to get a second season. If you read my first review for this series, you know I pretty much liked the anime despite its flaws. The second season pretty much continues from where the previous left off, and my opinion of the show hasn’t changed…

Its been almost a half year since the incidents of the first season, and the people of Earth are pretty much aware of the extraterrestrial presence that almost destroyed Earth. Relations between Earth and the alien nations are for the most part friendly. Some aliens have migrated to Earth, living and working amongst their human ancestors. Madoka has continued her sweats club duties while juggling work and all her other shenanigans. Laffinty and Muginami are another story, but telling their story would spoil the plot of the first half of the season. Related to their story however, a dire situation looms over the alien nations, a situation requiring the help of our main character Madoka once again. Alas, this is where the story begins.

I’ll be blunt, the story was going in different places. I really don’t think the anime staff had any real idea as to where they wanted the story to go, but since the DVD sales were good enough, they just had to bring out another season. Despite having a rocky and nonsensical story progression, I freaking liked this anime. Its one of those series you just can’t hate because your love for it overshadows whatever hate and negativity you have towards it. If your that type of person, go ahead and watch this. If not, don’t even bother…

Score - 8/10
