A Returner's Magic Should Be Special Season 2

I could not stop thinking about Desir asking Romantica to promise him. The fact that he's standing on the exact cliff where she died and just has to sit with that while she's smiling at the sunset is brutal. He can't even tell her why

Reading the manhwa I knew this arc was long but two episodes is rough. Wilhelm declaring war and getting crowned in the span of one montage felt like skipping to the last page of a book. Still glad Romantica showed up because those wolves needed somebody

Those masked Outsiders watching a projection of Desir in the cave at the end is such a good creepy closer. They're literally calling his party the reason their interference failed. Recurring threat now

No recap at all just threw us straight into a snow city and I spent ten minutes trying to remember how Shadow Worlds work. Great fight though once my brain caught up

Azest freezing that man's arm right before he could finish her was the exact kind of desperate save I wanted from her this season. She earned that duel

history correction complete. That line then everything goes sideways. Not sure the show wanted us to catch that so casually but it kind of tells you the whole mission was already doomed once before

Desir neutralizing an entire front line by soaking the floor then frying them is the smartest thing he has done all series and he did it in a cold open with no setup

Crow Mask bailing out at the last second felt cheap. All that buildup and the man just teleports away right when Zod is about to deliver

Zod and Priscilla sniping at each other during the council meeting was more entertaining than the actual politics. Two powerhouses who cannot stand each other stuck in one room

Episode just vanished on me. Tournament setup then total chaos at the castle and suddenly the credits are rolling like where did the time go

Animation looked rough in spots during the castle chaos. Faces and motion felt stiff when the Outers showed up so the impact landed softer than it should have

The trio getting captured is such forced writing. Romantica Pram and Azest are not random students. They should have flattened those hooded grunts in ten seconds

When he asks Romantica to just run if he tells her to. That broke something in me. Her face when she agrees. The sun going down behind them made it worse somehow

Pram crying on the train because Desir is ditching them for Zod is so real of him. The man has one ally and it's his own hype squad

Nailedesir is going straight into my vocabulary. Pram yelling praise every time the man does literally anything is the funniest running bit. Not a single scene where he's not hyping him

The jump from the Shadow World stuff straight into swimsuits and volleyball felt a little abrupt for me. The sunset scene on the cliff did a lot to bring the mood back to where it needed to be though

Desir tying Azest and Romantica to the sand with magic chains for a training drill is the most Desir thing possible. The man gets handed a beach day and turns it into a workout

I couldn't stop smiling at that volleyball match. Romantica launching wind-boosted spikes at Desir like it was the finals of some other show entirely. Twenty seconds of them actually being kids before the darkness crept back in

Opening on Romantica's corpse in the red wasteland was a nasty way to start a summer vacation episode. Then Dadenewf rises out of the ocean and you remember exactly what kind of show this is

Pram in that little top looked so out of place next to everyone else looking like actual fighters. Weird call on the design when the guy is swinging a sword better than anyone
