Synopsis

Despite a rough start, Makoto Misumi's life in another world takes a positive turn when he meets more demihumans who recognize his presence. Now as the leader of a fast-growing demihuman community, Makoto wishes to make human society more accepting of them and thus builds a business showcasing the demihumans' abilities. To extend his reach further, Makoto enrolls at the Rotsgard Academy to learn magic and expand his business venture there. Meanwhile, the goddess who summoned and forsaken Makoto had brought two other people to her world shortly after sending him away, making them heroes of their respective nations. Given enough time, Makoto's path will intertwine with both of these heroes, which may cause the world to take a drastic direction. [Written by MAL Rewrite]

Disappointed would be an understatement. I actually enjoyed the first season quite a lot. It had that polish most isekai really don't have. And in the last episodes of the last season they showed that even as strong as he is, he isn't invincible. He's still very much mortal. So i had hope. Then this season came along . And my hope was jumped in a McDonalds parking lot. It's never gonna fully recover . And now i will explain the why. The plot took a dive,the animation,everything. It's a downgrade from the first season in every way you can imagine . Not to mention theabuse of horrendous looking CGI . I understand why they use it. Doesn't mean i agree with it. The rings became just for show as well. They are never used or mentioned ever again.Not to mention that now he uses like 1 spell and he's invulnerable. And the last few episodes were the biggest offender . No character development happens either . A few characters i liked go down even . All in all, this season and it's ending left a very bitter taste in my mouth. If they are gonna keep the quality on the same level as season 2,i don't even wanna see a third.

This anime really exceeded my expectations, i thought oh its just another trashy isekai im about to watch but wait it got the Tenshura + Overlord vibes which not just my fav anime, i think its the majority of anime watcher favourites, so if you want to watch something similar to the anime i mention, give it a try, definitely worth your time. So the story wise is very interesting im not much of a reviewer and english is my second language but the pacing is fast, they didnt drag this futher than needed, the world building is well made, there is no boring episode imoas i enjoyed every episode coming from each character. The characters are rich in personality, they are not bland, every character have their own purpose and goals, character development from the mc is what made me want to watch more Anyways, season 3 is announced lets goo

I wouldn't say that the pacing was perfect this season but it's doing so many things right. Like they are not ruining the story by adding more to the harem like so many other isekais do. the sides characters have roles to play which is visible to an extent. As for the animations they are good too. did not falter. its to be expected though. the most that i like about this anime is that its the same kinda story but done right in many ways. Like the characters are unforgiving, the finish the job with the villains. the don't leave them to be or just forgivethem and make a part of the protagonist's harem. Although this season was kinda lacking in character development I expect it to be good in the next season. there's alot to be expected the next season. And honestly this anime is getting way less attention than it deserves. Because i know all the trash anime enthusiasts will like this anime for sure..

I feel like the anime had all the right elements but failed to use them properly. The protagonist was unique, the side characters were well-developed, the world was vast and full of surprises, and the power and progression systems were engaging. But all of this was ruined by long, empty dialogues and dragged-out events. Simply put, from my perspective, the worst thing about this season is the story and the dragging out of events through empty dialogues and the characters' stupid and cold reactions. The protagonist could have intervened, saved the situation, or acted wisely, but he just waited for no reason and then intervened later. Thecharacters could have fought with full strength, but they also waited until someone got hurt or even died before stepping in. What's frustrating is that they never use their full power, or even a fraction of it. What's the point of having such immense power if they're going to get injured at the beginning of almost every battle that they could end in seconds? The protagonist is capable of doing so much with his power, but he simply chooses not to... I think if we removed the unnecessary dialogues and filler events, we would be left with only 12 episodes for this season. I feel very disappointed after having raised my hopes for this season.

Season 1 of Tsukimichi was pretty good. It had quite sufficient progress in terms of story and character development, there were lots of things ramping up and it made the 1st Season generally fun. Season 2 in this regard is a let down and while it still has some good moments, overall I feel like 25 episodes are severely lacking in plot department and feel like a major filler for what's to come. On one hand it shows more of the overall world MC resides in, power struggles and Heroes in this world as well, on the other hand the plot itself feels boring, mostfight scenes are drawn out for no reason... scratch that ALL fights are drawn out like crazy. And there are really no satisfying paybacks of these. Season 2 as a whole is a weird kinda "school" arc with everything that goes along with it and basically to the very end it remains so. Development of some side characters is while fun to follow, still doesn't feel important for the overall story (at least at this stage). Hero struggles again, while fun are inconsequential for the most part. I guess it's required to get these characters in the story and that is the way it was written, but some of the personalities are what I would call cheesy at best. There is barely any focus on MC himself and his allies (even if they are on the screen their growth is very small compared to the overall season length), and in most events they are passive, which translates into quite a lot of unnecessary discussions as if who cares really. I enjoyed the part where MC couldn't adequately interact with humans as that made it one of the nice features of the show, but basically it's all gone now and doesn't matter anymore. I do hope that next season shifts focus from these forced "academy"-like things and moves elsewhere, at the very least we didn't have beach episodes and matsuri, I was low key expecting that. Yet again I feel like shows like Dan Machi (is it wrong to try to pickup girls...) who have at this point 4.5 seasons and keep expanding and growing strong are out of the ordinary and these ups and downs is what should be expected of a more average shows. Still a decent watch but I wish they raise the bar next time.

This anime got me so frustrated that i felt the need of writing a review for the first time. An isekai with unusual aspects to it. Plot is actually okay. I wouldn't say that it's your usual trash isekai of the season. But i felt as if i was gonna bore myself to death when i was watching it. The plot progresses really really slow. Until the last 5 episodes nothing exciting really happens. I felt like i've watched a season of OVA episodes. I remember that i was bored when watching season 1 too,but this one was a whole new level.

This season was a waste of time! Nothing is good. Actually there is only ONE good scene with Tomoe and the hero from some place that doesn't matter. None of the arcs matters. None of the characters matter. None of the subplots matter. Not even the main plot matters. The first season is very good. But they just got lost in this one. There is no real storyline. There are some arcs that doesn't matter in the end. The main character doesn't go anywhere or grow as person. He doesn't get worse either. All characters, including the MC, are just there doing something that doesn't matterin the end. Nothing is interesting. Nothing makes much sense. His his business venture and nothing is the same. It doesn't matter not even to MC. Everything is pointless and boring. This season and nothing would be the same. Counting grains of salt would be better than waste time watching this.

A great show in a most regards although hampered slightly by poor pacing, contrived progression, and occasionally shallow characterization. Despite these flaws, Tsukimichi is still a satisfying to watch due to its various twists and turns and the detailed digressions that do well to flesh out the world and minor characters. At first glance, Tsukimichi appears to be a poor imatation of Tensei Shitara Slime, but it excels in various aspects that the latter show fails. Due to the limited budget, the animation and music are nothing special, but are serviceable for what they are. Ultimately, Tsukimichi changes up the formula enough to make abeloved but tired genre feel fresh and exciting. Whilst not a masterpiece, a highly recommended for fans of the genre.

A lot happened this season, but it also felt like not much happened towards the end. At the start, we resume with our MC. He has a plan for the world and his demiplane, aiming for a peaceful life while learning more about the world and making connections with everyone, including demons. Throughout this season, he goes to school, meets another hero like himself, defeats demons, makes one-sided deals with demons, strikes deals with gods, and trains other students. So much happens that you get a good fill of story and content. However, at times, it felt like nothing was happening in the show, likely becauseI had to wait a week for each new episode, making the story feel slower. I'm a bit jealous of those who can binge-watch it, as I think that would make the experience better. Despite the weekly wait, I would say this season was really good overall. The opening and ending themes were great. I enjoyed them. Overall: 8/10 for the weekly wait. I guess I probably would've rated it a 9/10 if I had waited and binged it. It was a pretty good season in the end.

This anime had so much potential that was wasted this season. I hope season 3 does a better job in the future. Tsukimichi finally came back after some time. This show was at the top of being one of the most underrated anime at least for me, specifically. Then season 2 showed some flashes of what could've been, but wasted too much time getting into the side characters rather than focusing on the main ones. I also disliked how the anime diverged from action-packed scenes and instead set up more of a story that didn't seem as purposeful outside of a new dragon. Compared to season 1,the second season of Tsukimichi didn't express enough emotion. The humor shown throughout season 1 wasn't the same anymore in season 2. The pacing is so SLOW in this season that it makes the whole show seem lifeless. They gave 2 out of the first 3 episodes to some random heroes that no one cared about. Scenes in the show that showed character development, a further explanation of what is happening, and just comedic scenes were cut out which made the anime feel so delayed. Every time it felt like Kuzunoha was going to fight he didn't (Episode 17). I just wished this anime was more fast-paced and showed more action. The battles in this show were downwashed from the first season. Most of the fights are from side characters and they don't do a well enough job choreographically. I don't understand much between the Makoto against Sofia fight since Makoto just runs circles around her. It was nowhere near their first fight which seemed astonishing at the time. Sofia getting nerfed probably made it seem that way. I just want the fights to make more sense and the power leveling to be better in the future. Even though there are many things to hate, the show does still do some good things. I enjoyed Makoto's situation where he has a choice to go back or not similar to The Rising of a Shield Hero. It was nice to see Tomoe and Mio again as they provide comedic relief even if it wasn't the same before. The last five episodes were great since they finally focused on fighting for once. The pacing was much better in the second half of the season. The drawing quality was still as good as season 1. It was still an enjoyable watch at the end of the day.

Second season of the top-slop isekai with another banger intro by 'Syudou' (check out another of their songs "In the Back Room"). Second verse, more of the first, the show continues to be decent, but seems to suffer from poor handling of the adaptation. There are a lot of mini-arcs that don't really deliver on the impact and significance of what's going on and they spend a little too much time explaining things. I think there was supposed to be a grand plan enacted, that we never got a pay-off to, which seems to be left to continue in the third season. Regardless, Tsukimichi is adecent "Protagonist is overpowered" isekai with elements that make it interesting and some fun character development that isn't about saving everything, rather our 'hero' is quite unwilling to get mixed up in things and is quite entertaining when he is. Ultimately I feel like it could've been a lot better, which is its own sort of disappointment, even if it's a decent watch.

The first season of this show was a massive surprise when I tried it out on a whim. Fun, creative, and good animation. For an isekai enjoyer it felt like a hidden gem. Season 2 started on an interesting note as the main characters were pushed to the side and we caught up with the Goddess' heroes. This season does a lot to establish where they are and how the Demon's conniving plot drives all the characters together. There's a lot going on this season. Reading the weekly episode discussions, I was surprised to see so many people calling this season slow or boring. If anything, thepacing this season was going by very quickly, and I wished they had more episodes to flesh out some ideas and details. Like Makoto becoming a teacher. That's a cool development, but the anime fast tracks through that part of his life. The season felt like it was going by very fast, but I am so glad that it's 25 episodes -- if it were a normal 12 episode season I would have been massively disappointed. For the most part, everything they set up in the beginning eventually does get touched upon by the end. I was mostly happy with this season. Even when the spring shows started overlapping with this I still had Tsukimichi as something I looked forward to each week. My biggest issue was the pacing. Everything seemed fast. I would have been interested to see what this story would have looked like over 50-episodes, but alas I understand that's not feasible in today's age.

For me, Tsukimichi season 2 was an improvement in every way over season 1 and one of the most enjoyable shows this season. Better story, better villains, actual development from the MC, just a more entertaining watch. Turned me from someone who would doze off during Tsukimichi episodes into a fan. This season of Tsukimichi from start to finish was a blast. The story finally felt like it got going. Whereas season 1 felt like an introduction to Makoto’s new world, season 2 feels like him finding his place in it. Moving on from just being a merchant in the background to being a characterin the forefront. New characters getting introduced, especially the other heroes from Makoto’s world, Makoto’s time as a teacher, a conspiracy behind the scenes, quite few emotional scenes.. this was just a damn good season. A ton of stuff got packed in here and I can finally understand the hype for the show now. One of my biggest issues with season 1 was Makoto’s personality. Felt like he was an asshole and just didn’t like how he handled everything with the demi humans, hyumans, demons, etc. This season forces him to re evaluate how he’s been doing things and question his views. I appreciate that the author gave him some much needed character development and he just feels like an MC I can get behind now. Still has some places I’d like to see him grow and take some of the edge off, but he’s getting there thanks to the challenges he has to go through in this one. Just like Makoto’s mind seems to be expanding, so does the world. Introducing new factions, enemies, political tensions etc made the world that in season 1 felt a bit claustrophobic, feel a lot bigger. Glad we finally got to go to other locations and see how the world’s fairing outside of Makoto’s little bubble. The world isn’t just black and white, but more often than not shades of grey and Makoto finally realises you can’t paint entire races with a wide brush. It’s not as simple as humans bad, Demi humans good. Lot of action in this season especially at the end of it and man, that final battle was some of the hypest stuff I’ve seen this year. The studio delivered some solid action. Only fault I have with the production is how many damn cliffhangers we left off in this show! Seems like every episode they cut off right as things were getting good, definitely kept you on the edge of your seat wanting more though so fair play. Tsukimichi 2 finally lived up to the hype for me and now I see why this series influenced others like Tensura. Tsukimichi 2 gets 9 out of 10.

An amazing sequel!!! A friend of mine recomended me this anime a while back after season 1 got released, although it didn´t stood out to me at glance at first, as I watched it I was quickly hooked on it. So when I heard a season 2 was coming out with 25 episodes no less I was in for a treat and I must say I wasn´t disappointed. JC Staff really cooked this season with amazing fights and even more helarious moments between the characters than the first season this sequel is worth a watch. In this season we see the after effects of the great battle betweenthe great sorcerer (Makoto) and Sofia/Lancer. Furthermore we see who where the other "heroes" that the crappy goddess mentioned, when we were introduced to her as well as their role in this new world agains´t the threat of demons. This season brings new a new set of characters friends and foes as well as the answers to who were makoto´s parents in that world and what they did as well as major power up to our beloved MC. The visuals and music were spot on during the fight scenes as well as OP and ED. I´m not gonna lie the seocnd ending this season really gave me some "High school DxD" vibes from their iconic first ending which was a very hilarious surprise. Overall, I´m very happy with how this season turned out and I can´t wait to what holds for us next season!!. As of now we have received word that season 3 is in the works, which gives me peace knowing that this series is receiving enough support by the community to continue producing more content. Until then I´ll be content with reading the Manga until the next season. Solid 8.5/10 in my opinion. How I rank (This is just my opinion): (Inspired by Huang-Teizan) 10 - Bendicion de Dios 9 - Now this is Peak!! 8 - Bingeworthy! 7 - Good 6 - Enjoyable 5 - Either Echii or just enough to get by 4 - I´m just here to know how it ends. 3 - "Are you related to Rent a Girlfriend?" 2 - Que cojones 1 - My head doesn´t explode because it can´t. 0 - "Even a Hentai has a better story than you!"

TSUKIMICHI Season 2 follows Makoto Misumi as he continues his journey in search of the remnants his parents left him. While expanding his Demiplane with new species and tending to Kuzunoha trading company Makoto dabbles in teaching at a Rotsgard Academy. As he expands his grasp of the new town he finds out there are more sinister factions that wish to do harm to him and his companions especially in higher echelons of society. Given the chance to collaborate with an uncommon ally, Makoto has decided to flip the script with his alliance in fear for the sinister factions putting his companions at risk. Story& Character: 6/10 The story continues Makoto as he gathers more evidence of his parents' journey in the goddess' world. It's enjoyable to an extent but definitely becomes less ambitious with arbitrary introductions to new side characters; The major plot events lose their grandeur because of the poor impact from these side characters. The story remains fairly predictable with the plot direction but the development in terms of territorial restoration was an unexpected implementation. This season we get a set of new characters and the existing ones are developed further with their fair share of conflict and bonding. This time around character development felt more inclined to the side characters as opposed to Makoto where their dynamic are tested and developed more than his own. This resulted in fights being a lot less substantial between Makoto and external factions yet dynamic between companions felt more in tune. At this stage the character depth with the original cast is a lot more satisfying to see as Tomoe, Mio and Shiki continue to grow in the background. It would've been better to see character establishment similar to theirs where unexpected major events occurred. The antagonist factions felt a bit weak in terms of their stance against Makoto especially the ones targeting Kuzunoha Trading Company. Art & Sound: 6/10 The art this season wasn't extraordinary by modern standards with the character designs falling apart between scenes. We see more use of slideshows and panning shots this season also which degraded the viewing experience. Action sequences lacked much fluidity and in between attacks were noticeably choppy however it's good to note this series isn't known for its visuals. Sound design was also fairly above average; The voice acting was decent along with sound effects. There weren't much meaningful use of music beyond setting the tone of each scene. However, there weren't any drawbacks from the audio experience. Overall & Enjoyment: 6/10 I enjoyed this season for what it was, an accumulation phase for Makoto - As his network grows, he becomes more inclined to the affairs of the Goddess' world and now even more of a target by the Goddess. It could have been much more exciting with pacing the fights and character development better (i.e 3 episodes for a fight scene is a bit much especially for a non-boss antagonist)

Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy - Oh, good golly, Tsukimichi, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU??? I immensely loved Season 1 of novelist Kei Azumi's Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu a.k.a Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy when it first came out all the way back in Summer 2021. Being a parody Isekai, it's a perfect fit for straddling against all other stereotypical and average Isekais of the time (that unfortunately we still get now in this day and age). And as much as Season 2 was greenlit thereafter, I was eager for more of the Tsukimichi greatness in time to come. But good God, how wrong was I to have highexpectations for Season 2, because it was a total shitshow of a long, frustrating, and mind-numbing time having to sit through all 25 episodes for the past 6 months (or the equivalent of 8 to 9 hours on a binge minus the OP/ED segments), one would understand why the sequel HAD to be a continuous 2-cour, if not for the continued adaptation of the LN being a hook, line, and (literate) sinker. With Season 2 adapting Volumes 5 to 10 of the LN, despite having literally the SAME production staff team with a studio change to J.C.Staff, it's understandable why studio C2C was not chosen to continue the project, since they already had their hands full on Shangri-La Frontier. But even more aggravating than most, is the pacing of the LN, which suddenly slows down to a crawl. Ultimately, I'll have to say that this unfortunately goes both ways. The awkward transition from the fights to pure, slice-of-life moments where Makoto "Kuzunoha" Misumi is not only progressing as the leader of the demons' Demiplane, but also becoming a teacher after being a registered merchant himself, it just feels natural to go from one significant moment to another...only to realize that like Season 3 of Tensei Slime, it's literally the same push-and-pull mechanism of heavy dialogue and set-up for the events that are about to unfold as Makoto ascends into the new city that is Rotsgard, and also learning of the other Isekai-ed heroes who represent their various kingdoms, fight together against common enemies. It doesn't help that Makoto has degraded in his thinking as he attempts to navigate all 3 duties at once, and the sequel really got the better of him as concurrent circumstances forced him to utilize much of his "right-hand man" group with Tomoe, Mio, and Shiki, with literally little to no room to breathe when evil strikes at his corner, being the only hyuman capable of facing the strongest of its kind. Yes, it's the same character development that we desperately needed to see from Makoto, but at what cost? I'm not one to be a party popper for all things bad, but it's the obvious truth: Season 2 of Tsukimichi is one of the worst sequels I've ever experienced in all of anime. It's not exactly in the same tenure that is the oblivion and total destruction of The Promised Neverland's sequel in Winter 2021 (being the most recognized butchered adaptation of all time), but everything is literally downgraded, with the saving grace of a budgeted studio like J.C.Staff being very prominent in 2-cour productions to withhold their animation prowess and hit-and-miss when the moments call for it. In a make-believe world, director Shinji Ishihira would've liked C2C to come back to produce another season, but since they're the quality studio that produces no more than 1 anime at any given time, he's fraught with having to choose inferior-but-quality studios to continue its adaptation, and that's how he got J.C.Staff onboard for the sequel. Sadly, the music easily takes a nosedive, as both the 2 cours' worth of OP and ED songs, along with the OST, are just plain unmarkable and forgettable at best. And if that's the best form of sincerity I could give, it's that you can easily skip all 70 to 75 minutes' worth of it in a binge. If there was a show I did NOT want to see fail, it's Kei Azumi's Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu a.k.a Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy, and Season 2 only proved to me that since the series will still continue onwards with Season 3, it has a lot (and I mean A LOT) of work to win its anime fanbase back with quality content from later volumes of the LN. But for now, it's a massive disappointment of various proportions that just leaves me speechless.

Season 1 of Tsukimichi was pretty good. It had quite sufficient progress in terms of story and character development, there were lots of things ramping up and it made the 1st Season generally fun. Season 2 in this regard is a let down and while it still has some good moments, overall I feel like 25 episodes are severely lacking in plot department and feel like a major filler for what's to come. On one hand it shows more of the overall world MC resides in, power struggles and Heroes in this world as well, on the other hand the plot itself feels boring, mostfight scenes are drawn out for no reason... scratch that ALL fights are drawn out like crazy. And there are really no satisfying paybacks of these. Season 2 as a whole is a weird kinda "school" arc with everything that goes along with it and basically to the very end it remains so. Development of some side characters is while fun to follow, still doesn't feel important for the overall story (at least at this stage). Hero struggles again, while fun are inconsequential for the most part. I guess it's required to get these characters in the story and that is the way it was written, but some of the personalities are what I would call cheesy at best. There is barely any focus on MC himself and his allies (even if they are on the screen their growth is very small compared to the overall season length), and in most events they are passive, which translates into quite a lot of unnecessary discussions as if who cares really. I enjoyed the part where MC couldn't adequately interact with humans as that made it one of the nice features of the show, but basically it's all gone now and doesn't matter anymore. I do hope that next season shifts focus from these forced "academy"-like things and moves elsewhere, at the very least we didn't have beach episodes and matsuri, I was low key expecting that. Yet again I feel like shows like Dan Machi (is it wrong to try to pickup girls...) who have at this point 4.5 seasons and keep expanding and growing strong are out of the ordinary and these ups and downs is what should be expected of a more average shows. Still a decent watch but I wish they raise the bar next time.

This anime got me so frustrated that i felt the need of writing a review for the first time. An isekai with unusual aspects to it. Plot is actually okay. I wouldn't say that it's your usual trash isekai of the season. But i felt as if i was gonna bore myself to death when i was watching it. The plot progresses really really slow. Until the last 5 episodes nothing exciting really happens. I felt like i've watched a season of OVA episodes. I remember that i was bored when watching season 1 too,but this one was a whole new level.

This season was a waste of time! Nothing is good. Actually there is only ONE good scene with Tomoe and the hero from some place that doesn't matter. None of the arcs matters. None of the characters matter. None of the subplots matter. Not even the main plot matters. The first season is very good. But they just got lost in this one. There is no real storyline. There are some arcs that doesn't matter in the end. The main character doesn't go anywhere or grow as person. He doesn't get worse either. All characters, including the MC, are just there doing something that doesn't matterin the end. Nothing is interesting. Nothing makes much sense. His his business venture and nothing is the same. It doesn't matter not even to MC. Everything is pointless and boring. This season and nothing would be the same. Counting grains of salt would be better than waste time watching this.

A great show in a most regards although hampered slightly by poor pacing, contrived progression, and occasionally shallow characterization. Despite these flaws, Tsukimichi is still a satisfying to watch due to its various twists and turns and the detailed digressions that do well to flesh out the world and minor characters. At first glance, Tsukimichi appears to be a poor imatation of Tensei Shitara Slime, but it excels in various aspects that the latter show fails. Due to the limited budget, the animation and music are nothing special, but are serviceable for what they are. Ultimately, Tsukimichi changes up the formula enough to make abeloved but tired genre feel fresh and exciting. Whilst not a masterpiece, a highly recommended for fans of the genre.

A lot happened this season, but it also felt like not much happened towards the end. At the start, we resume with our MC. He has a plan for the world and his demiplane, aiming for a peaceful life while learning more about the world and making connections with everyone, including demons. Throughout this season, he goes to school, meets another hero like himself, defeats demons, makes one-sided deals with demons, strikes deals with gods, and trains other students. So much happens that you get a good fill of story and content. However, at times, it felt like nothing was happening in the show, likely becauseI had to wait a week for each new episode, making the story feel slower. I'm a bit jealous of those who can binge-watch it, as I think that would make the experience better. Despite the weekly wait, I would say this season was really good overall. The opening and ending themes were great. I enjoyed them. Overall: 8/10 for the weekly wait. I guess I probably would've rated it a 9/10 if I had waited and binged it. It was a pretty good season in the end.

This anime had so much potential that was wasted this season. I hope season 3 does a better job in the future. Tsukimichi finally came back after some time. This show was at the top of being one of the most underrated anime at least for me, specifically. Then season 2 showed some flashes of what could've been, but wasted too much time getting into the side characters rather than focusing on the main ones. I also disliked how the anime diverged from action-packed scenes and instead set up more of a story that didn't seem as purposeful outside of a new dragon. Compared to season 1,the second season of Tsukimichi didn't express enough emotion. The humor shown throughout season 1 wasn't the same anymore in season 2. The pacing is so SLOW in this season that it makes the whole show seem lifeless. They gave 2 out of the first 3 episodes to some random heroes that no one cared about. Scenes in the show that showed character development, a further explanation of what is happening, and just comedic scenes were cut out which made the anime feel so delayed. Every time it felt like Kuzunoha was going to fight he didn't (Episode 17). I just wished this anime was more fast-paced and showed more action. The battles in this show were downwashed from the first season. Most of the fights are from side characters and they don't do a well enough job choreographically. I don't understand much between the Makoto against Sofia fight since Makoto just runs circles around her. It was nowhere near their first fight which seemed astonishing at the time. Sofia getting nerfed probably made it seem that way. I just want the fights to make more sense and the power leveling to be better in the future. Even though there are many things to hate, the show does still do some good things. I enjoyed Makoto's situation where he has a choice to go back or not similar to The Rising of a Shield Hero. It was nice to see Tomoe and Mio again as they provide comedic relief even if it wasn't the same before. The last five episodes were great since they finally focused on fighting for once. The pacing was much better in the second half of the season. The drawing quality was still as good as season 1. It was still an enjoyable watch at the end of the day.

Second season of the top-slop isekai with another banger intro by 'Syudou' (check out another of their songs "In the Back Room"). Second verse, more of the first, the show continues to be decent, but seems to suffer from poor handling of the adaptation. There are a lot of mini-arcs that don't really deliver on the impact and significance of what's going on and they spend a little too much time explaining things. I think there was supposed to be a grand plan enacted, that we never got a pay-off to, which seems to be left to continue in the third season. Regardless, Tsukimichi is adecent "Protagonist is overpowered" isekai with elements that make it interesting and some fun character development that isn't about saving everything, rather our 'hero' is quite unwilling to get mixed up in things and is quite entertaining when he is. Ultimately I feel like it could've been a lot better, which is its own sort of disappointment, even if it's a decent watch.

The first season of this show was a massive surprise when I tried it out on a whim. Fun, creative, and good animation. For an isekai enjoyer it felt like a hidden gem. Season 2 started on an interesting note as the main characters were pushed to the side and we caught up with the Goddess' heroes. This season does a lot to establish where they are and how the Demon's conniving plot drives all the characters together. There's a lot going on this season. Reading the weekly episode discussions, I was surprised to see so many people calling this season slow or boring. If anything, thepacing this season was going by very quickly, and I wished they had more episodes to flesh out some ideas and details. Like Makoto becoming a teacher. That's a cool development, but the anime fast tracks through that part of his life. The season felt like it was going by very fast, but I am so glad that it's 25 episodes -- if it were a normal 12 episode season I would have been massively disappointed. For the most part, everything they set up in the beginning eventually does get touched upon by the end. I was mostly happy with this season. Even when the spring shows started overlapping with this I still had Tsukimichi as something I looked forward to each week. My biggest issue was the pacing. Everything seemed fast. I would have been interested to see what this story would have looked like over 50-episodes, but alas I understand that's not feasible in today's age.

For me, Tsukimichi season 2 was an improvement in every way over season 1 and one of the most enjoyable shows this season. Better story, better villains, actual development from the MC, just a more entertaining watch. Turned me from someone who would doze off during Tsukimichi episodes into a fan. This season of Tsukimichi from start to finish was a blast. The story finally felt like it got going. Whereas season 1 felt like an introduction to Makoto’s new world, season 2 feels like him finding his place in it. Moving on from just being a merchant in the background to being a characterin the forefront. New characters getting introduced, especially the other heroes from Makoto’s world, Makoto’s time as a teacher, a conspiracy behind the scenes, quite few emotional scenes.. this was just a damn good season. A ton of stuff got packed in here and I can finally understand the hype for the show now. One of my biggest issues with season 1 was Makoto’s personality. Felt like he was an asshole and just didn’t like how he handled everything with the demi humans, hyumans, demons, etc. This season forces him to re evaluate how he’s been doing things and question his views. I appreciate that the author gave him some much needed character development and he just feels like an MC I can get behind now. Still has some places I’d like to see him grow and take some of the edge off, but he’s getting there thanks to the challenges he has to go through in this one. Just like Makoto’s mind seems to be expanding, so does the world. Introducing new factions, enemies, political tensions etc made the world that in season 1 felt a bit claustrophobic, feel a lot bigger. Glad we finally got to go to other locations and see how the world’s fairing outside of Makoto’s little bubble. The world isn’t just black and white, but more often than not shades of grey and Makoto finally realises you can’t paint entire races with a wide brush. It’s not as simple as humans bad, Demi humans good. Lot of action in this season especially at the end of it and man, that final battle was some of the hypest stuff I’ve seen this year. The studio delivered some solid action. Only fault I have with the production is how many damn cliffhangers we left off in this show! Seems like every episode they cut off right as things were getting good, definitely kept you on the edge of your seat wanting more though so fair play. Tsukimichi 2 finally lived up to the hype for me and now I see why this series influenced others like Tensura. Tsukimichi 2 gets 9 out of 10.

An amazing sequel!!! A friend of mine recomended me this anime a while back after season 1 got released, although it didn´t stood out to me at glance at first, as I watched it I was quickly hooked on it. So when I heard a season 2 was coming out with 25 episodes no less I was in for a treat and I must say I wasn´t disappointed. JC Staff really cooked this season with amazing fights and even more helarious moments between the characters than the first season this sequel is worth a watch. In this season we see the after effects of the great battle betweenthe great sorcerer (Makoto) and Sofia/Lancer. Furthermore we see who where the other "heroes" that the crappy goddess mentioned, when we were introduced to her as well as their role in this new world agains´t the threat of demons. This season brings new a new set of characters friends and foes as well as the answers to who were makoto´s parents in that world and what they did as well as major power up to our beloved MC. The visuals and music were spot on during the fight scenes as well as OP and ED. I´m not gonna lie the seocnd ending this season really gave me some "High school DxD" vibes from their iconic first ending which was a very hilarious surprise. Overall, I´m very happy with how this season turned out and I can´t wait to what holds for us next season!!. As of now we have received word that season 3 is in the works, which gives me peace knowing that this series is receiving enough support by the community to continue producing more content. Until then I´ll be content with reading the Manga until the next season. Solid 8.5/10 in my opinion. How I rank (This is just my opinion): (Inspired by Huang-Teizan) 10 - Bendicion de Dios 9 - Now this is Peak!! 8 - Bingeworthy! 7 - Good 6 - Enjoyable 5 - Either Echii or just enough to get by 4 - I´m just here to know how it ends. 3 - "Are you related to Rent a Girlfriend?" 2 - Que cojones 1 - My head doesn´t explode because it can´t. 0 - "Even a Hentai has a better story than you!"

TSUKIMICHI Season 2 follows Makoto Misumi as he continues his journey in search of the remnants his parents left him. While expanding his Demiplane with new species and tending to Kuzunoha trading company Makoto dabbles in teaching at a Rotsgard Academy. As he expands his grasp of the new town he finds out there are more sinister factions that wish to do harm to him and his companions especially in higher echelons of society. Given the chance to collaborate with an uncommon ally, Makoto has decided to flip the script with his alliance in fear for the sinister factions putting his companions at risk. Story& Character: 6/10 The story continues Makoto as he gathers more evidence of his parents' journey in the goddess' world. It's enjoyable to an extent but definitely becomes less ambitious with arbitrary introductions to new side characters; The major plot events lose their grandeur because of the poor impact from these side characters. The story remains fairly predictable with the plot direction but the development in terms of territorial restoration was an unexpected implementation. This season we get a set of new characters and the existing ones are developed further with their fair share of conflict and bonding. This time around character development felt more inclined to the side characters as opposed to Makoto where their dynamic are tested and developed more than his own. This resulted in fights being a lot less substantial between Makoto and external factions yet dynamic between companions felt more in tune. At this stage the character depth with the original cast is a lot more satisfying to see as Tomoe, Mio and Shiki continue to grow in the background. It would've been better to see character establishment similar to theirs where unexpected major events occurred. The antagonist factions felt a bit weak in terms of their stance against Makoto especially the ones targeting Kuzunoha Trading Company. Art & Sound: 6/10 The art this season wasn't extraordinary by modern standards with the character designs falling apart between scenes. We see more use of slideshows and panning shots this season also which degraded the viewing experience. Action sequences lacked much fluidity and in between attacks were noticeably choppy however it's good to note this series isn't known for its visuals. Sound design was also fairly above average; The voice acting was decent along with sound effects. There weren't much meaningful use of music beyond setting the tone of each scene. However, there weren't any drawbacks from the audio experience. Overall & Enjoyment: 6/10 I enjoyed this season for what it was, an accumulation phase for Makoto - As his network grows, he becomes more inclined to the affairs of the Goddess' world and now even more of a target by the Goddess. It could have been much more exciting with pacing the fights and character development better (i.e 3 episodes for a fight scene is a bit much especially for a non-boss antagonist)

Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy - Oh, good golly, Tsukimichi, WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOU??? I immensely loved Season 1 of novelist Kei Azumi's Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu a.k.a Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy when it first came out all the way back in Summer 2021. Being a parody Isekai, it's a perfect fit for straddling against all other stereotypical and average Isekais of the time (that unfortunately we still get now in this day and age). And as much as Season 2 was greenlit thereafter, I was eager for more of the Tsukimichi greatness in time to come. But good God, how wrong was I to have highexpectations for Season 2, because it was a total shitshow of a long, frustrating, and mind-numbing time having to sit through all 25 episodes for the past 6 months (or the equivalent of 8 to 9 hours on a binge minus the OP/ED segments), one would understand why the sequel HAD to be a continuous 2-cour, if not for the continued adaptation of the LN being a hook, line, and (literate) sinker. With Season 2 adapting Volumes 5 to 10 of the LN, despite having literally the SAME production staff team with a studio change to J.C.Staff, it's understandable why studio C2C was not chosen to continue the project, since they already had their hands full on Shangri-La Frontier. But even more aggravating than most, is the pacing of the LN, which suddenly slows down to a crawl. Ultimately, I'll have to say that this unfortunately goes both ways. The awkward transition from the fights to pure, slice-of-life moments where Makoto "Kuzunoha" Misumi is not only progressing as the leader of the demons' Demiplane, but also becoming a teacher after being a registered merchant himself, it just feels natural to go from one significant moment to another...only to realize that like Season 3 of Tensei Slime, it's literally the same push-and-pull mechanism of heavy dialogue and set-up for the events that are about to unfold as Makoto ascends into the new city that is Rotsgard, and also learning of the other Isekai-ed heroes who represent their various kingdoms, fight together against common enemies. It doesn't help that Makoto has degraded in his thinking as he attempts to navigate all 3 duties at once, and the sequel really got the better of him as concurrent circumstances forced him to utilize much of his "right-hand man" group with Tomoe, Mio, and Shiki, with literally little to no room to breathe when evil strikes at his corner, being the only hyuman capable of facing the strongest of its kind. Yes, it's the same character development that we desperately needed to see from Makoto, but at what cost? I'm not one to be a party popper for all things bad, but it's the obvious truth: Season 2 of Tsukimichi is one of the worst sequels I've ever experienced in all of anime. It's not exactly in the same tenure that is the oblivion and total destruction of The Promised Neverland's sequel in Winter 2021 (being the most recognized butchered adaptation of all time), but everything is literally downgraded, with the saving grace of a budgeted studio like J.C.Staff being very prominent in 2-cour productions to withhold their animation prowess and hit-and-miss when the moments call for it. In a make-believe world, director Shinji Ishihira would've liked C2C to come back to produce another season, but since they're the quality studio that produces no more than 1 anime at any given time, he's fraught with having to choose inferior-but-quality studios to continue its adaptation, and that's how he got J.C.Staff onboard for the sequel. Sadly, the music easily takes a nosedive, as both the 2 cours' worth of OP and ED songs, along with the OST, are just plain unmarkable and forgettable at best. And if that's the best form of sincerity I could give, it's that you can easily skip all 70 to 75 minutes' worth of it in a binge. If there was a show I did NOT want to see fail, it's Kei Azumi's Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu a.k.a Tsukimichi: Moonlit Fantasy, and Season 2 only proved to me that since the series will still continue onwards with Season 3, it has a lot (and I mean A LOT) of work to win its anime fanbase back with quality content from later volumes of the LN. But for now, it's a massive disappointment of various proportions that just leaves me speechless.
