Season 2 of 'Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun' continues the spirit of the first season: a generally light-hearted supernatural comedy aimed at a younger audience. If you're within its target demographic, or at least charmed by its not-so-serious tone, you will love it. If not, you may tolerate watching it but it will be something you will never cherish or forget. § Notes 1. The art direction continues to be unique. It's different from the usual, but it's a bit eerie mixed with the sense that it's comedy. You may not be impressed with the animation and the framing, but the overall art direction is worth commending.2. The sound in transition scenes continues to be great. Again, this remains one of its strengths. 3. It continues its light-hearted tone, but there are more serious stakes that made me more curious and made me expect so much this season. Unfortunately, it hasn't fully developed it as much as I would like to. Hint: There seems to be no sense of urgency in addressing it once that knowledge is revealed. 4. Unlike the first season, it's really divided into two major arcs. These two major arcs give us two major themes: 1) live every moment of your life to the fullest, and 2) face reality. 5. As you can tell, I'm not really a fan of this anime. It's not for me, but for those close to high school, this is a good or even a great watch. Let's dive into the themes, shall we? §§ Theme No 1: On making the best use of the remaining time of your life This theme reminds me of this quote from Marcus Aurelius: “Live as though today is your last day.” It's profound once you get it. Perhaps the anime's light-heartedness is just a vehicle for young people so they’re introduced to these themes. They might not get it now, but they might down the road. §§ Theme No 2: What is real? The second major arc asks us what is real and how can we know it. It's basically a mini-lesson on epistemology. It's basically the question Descartes had asked centuries ago: How do we know we're not dreaming? On a related note, this theme is also explored partially in the K-drama W: Two Worlds. The lesson is basically, once we distinguish what's real and what's not, do we have the courage to face it? § Conclusion This may seem like a silly anime that younger people might enjoy, but I appreciate the profound themes that the anime has embedded. This is the reason I'm bumping the score to 6 out of 10 from the 5 out of 10 I gave Season 1. The anime is not as shallow as it might seem at first glance

Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun 2 Is a very strong second season to the extremely popular Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun is easily the anime of the season if you ask me (If you count continuing anime) Because starting off the plot is extremely good this time round, (Same as the first season) With it all spanning a singular arc. I am not going to spoil anything but beware the entire season spans a singular arc. The entire Arc itself is extremely well written, No plot holes or nothing if you ask me, And it makes you feel like you are uncovering the "Mystery" With Yashiro Minamotoand Hanako-Kun. Its all extremely interesting and something very easy to get interested in if you ask me. The Characters are still just as likeable as they were in the second season, Yashiro Still is insecure about her "Big ankles" and Hanako-Kun is still a pervert. Honestly it really does add to there charm if you really think about it, They are just all such cool characters and they all are extremely easy to like and they feel realistic at the same time, They feel really human. The art style still looks extremely nice and unique, It certainly is it's own thing and is incredibly different compared to the usually "Anime" art style that most anime use, Instead having a more cartoony vibe that really does add to this show as a whole's charm. The OST is better than the first season if you ask me because the OP is certainly alot more catchy and upbeat compared to Season one and the Outro is very mellow. Still nothing to add to your playlist though, Not forgettable but not like amazing either. This anime as a whole is amazing and is just one stop off of perfection, Hopefully we can reach perfection with the extension of season 2 coming out in July 2025. Overall Toilet Bound Hanako-Kun 2 is a very good second season and is a worthy follow up even if it does just only span one arc throughout. Amazing season 9/10

Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun Season 2 is finally here, and it’s an absolute visual treat. If Season 1’s art direction was stunning, this season takes it even further. The signature storybook-like aesthetic remains, but with smoother animation and dynamic shots that bring every supernatural moment to life. Studio Lerche clearly understood the assignment. But beyond the visuals, the heart of this series lies in its characters. Hanako, our chaotic yet endearing ghost boy, continues to steal the show with his playful but emotionally charged moments. Yashiro? Still the lovable, slightly airheaded protagonist we adore, but now with more character growth taking center stage. And Kou? He’s finally gettingthe depth he deserves, strengthening the trio’s dynamic even more. Add in the new arcs, and we get a perfect mix of mystery, emotional gut-punches, and that eerie yet wholesome storytelling we love. The way Season 2 brings the manga to life is just on another level. Even just reading it was already an emotional rollercoaster, but watching it unfold with the added animation, voice acting, and soundtrack? The impact hits even harder. Without spoiling anything, Hanako’s desperation to keep Yashiro by his side is so intense that every little thing he does just tugs at the heartstrings. They’re adorable together, even if let’s be real, Hanako is walking red flag territory. But when it’s wrapped up in such an endearing and heartbreaking story, what can I even do? One major improvement this season? The pacing. While Season 1 sometimes felt a bit rushed, Season 2 takes its time fleshing out the supernatural lore. The Seven Mysteries are getting more depth, the stakes are rising, and the balance between horror, comedy, and heartwarming moments is chef’s kiss. Every episode is a rollercoaster of emotions. And let’s not forget the soundtrack, the OP and ED are absolute gems, setting the tone perfectly for Hanako-kun’s haunting yet playful world. The background music enhances every scene, whether it’s a lighthearted school moment or a chilling supernatural encounter. TL;DR: Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun Season 2 delivers everything fans could’ve hoped for. Breathtaking animation, engaging character development, and a perfect mix of spooky and wholesome moments make this a must-watch. If you loved Season 1, you’re in for a treat. If you haven’t started this series yet, what are you waiting for?! It’s time to dive into the supernatural chaos of Kamome Academy! Thanks for reading. Until next time, keep the hype alive!

I thought I liked Hanako-kun coming into this season, but this totally blew me away. Distance makes the heart grow fonder as they say and 5 years between instalments of this series made me appreciate it even. Combine that with what’s clearly the two best arcs in the franchise thus far and it’s no surprise why Hanako-Kun season 2 gets such a high rating from me. The characters, the unique art style, the mysteries, twists and ships.. there’s just nothing else like this show and I’m so glad they came back with this banger. Season 2 picked up right where season 1 left off which atfirst I thought was sort of detrimental as it has been a long time since this show aired, but after an episode or two I was right back into it. The mysteries at school this time around were so good, the author really knows how to play with your expectations and even if things happen how you thought they would, there’s always some sort of misdirect or just something keeping you on your toes. I really enjoy the unpredictability of the story. The first 8 episodes are great, but the final arc of this cour is easily the best story we’ve had in this show yet. It feels like everything is starting to heat up and we’re getting heavier stakes because of Nene’s race against time situation. Hanako’s villain arc was very fun and we’re getting deeper into the mystical aspects of the franchise. I cannot wait to see what lies ahead. If you go online, most of the dialogue you’ll see from the fandom is about shipping and to be honest, that’s a big part of why I like Hanako-kun too. We do have a lot of cute ships in this series and in this season it feels like everything got turned up to 100. There were so many cute moments with Hanako and Nene, Kou and Mitsuba, etc., the main ships are all really taking shape and I loved all the development they got in this season! Hanako-Kun has a very unique charm thanks to the art style, animation and character interactions and this season is just as good as the first in that department. There’s not a ton of fights, but when they come, they always look so good. The direction in the last 4-5 episodes with the Shijima arc is the best the show’s looked in my opinion. It’s such an aesthetically pleasing series It’s really a shame the hype for this series died out because of the time between seasons, but this was great and it’s only projected to get better from here. If you like supernatural mystery series, this is a no brainer. TBHK is one of the best around! Hanako-Kun season 2 part 1 gets 9 out of 10.

This was one of my favorites of its cour. It was great to finally get a season 2 to one of my favorite anime. The characters were just as fun and compelling as I remembered. I enjoyed the shorter stories and also the multi-episode stories. The reveal in this season is also extremely intriguing to me and I can't wait to see how that bears on subsequent seasons. That said, there were some moments that weren't for me, but that's typical for the franchise as a whole, which is why it's 9 and not a 10 from me. I'm super looking forward to part 2of season 2 in the next few months. If you enjoyed season one then I'm sure you'll enjoy this too. If you were iffy on season one, then I would still encourage you to try this part since it does take things in a slightly different direction and fleshes out the situation more.

As a long time fan of Toilet Bound Hanako-kun, hearing we were getting a season 2 after 5 years made me ecstatic, and Lerche delivered with this season ten fold!! All the minor issues and problems that the first season had were fixed and were greatly improved on for this season. Also am a little biased for this season as it adapted my favorite part of the manga and they did it so wellalso improved on a lot as it looks much closer to the manga now than it did before. Lerche somehow found a way to make this season amazing and it deserved it too. For what this season was adapting, they followed the manga very closely this season. They also didn't reorder anything and just stuck the source and it shows as I feel they really put their all into this season. The picture perfect arc was a fan favorite in the manga and they managed to completely keep it as perfect as it was in the manga and i'm so glad it turned out great. Super super excited we got a cour 2 announcement for this season as what's coming is my absolute favorite!! Even if we didn't get more after this I was super satisfied with how they handled this season and am so glad <3

Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun, the 2nd Wonder — Hanako-kun, Hanako-kun, will you grant my wish for a faithful adaptation once more? It's been 5 long years since we last saw mangaka IroAida's Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun a.k.a Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun on the small screen, though we can all collectively agree that it's more on the love-hate side by showing something that is actually quite unique, which is what makes it loveable, but hating it because the pacing went so awfully whack out of order against the source material at the time. And yet, with the MAL numbers being evident, there's no question about it that the series quickly fell off. Sadly,with the sequel being the continuation of said series, that director Yohei Fukui (taking over from Masaomi Ando) and his staff team at Lerche (or Studio Hibari rather, as the parent company) are putting their heads forward to continue the adaptation of the manga and heed no advice by just reshuffling things back to whence they came to restore the pacing for Season 2, does this redeem the overall look of the series? I'd say that the sequel here fixes much of the problems in the prequel, and it has restored confidence that Hanako-kun CAN actually have a decent adaptation. With Season 2 revisiting Volumes 5 and 6 (where Season 1 skipped to Volume 7 with the Hell of Mirrors arc) then proceeding to Volumes 8 to 11 in coherent pacing for the season's major arc, I'd say: welcome back, Hanako-kun and the gang, it's been a while since you peeps were last seen. Nene Yashiro is still the lovable daikon girl, as is Hanako-kun being the cheeky Wonder No. 7 apparition and Kou just being the complaining dork of justice. New to Season 2 are the newfound school Wonders of Wonder No. 1 of The Three Clock Keepers, which have the power to manipulate time, and Wonder No. 4 of Shijima-san of the Art Room, where reality and fiction blend into one dream-like trance that it becomes the fight of the one entity to save each other amidst the rouse of coercing people into the dream and living out their deepest wishes without the possibility to get out. Most particularly, I don't know about you, but concerning the story that is Wonder No. 4 of Mei Shijima, the Picture Perfect major arc that covers Volumes 8 to 11 of the manga (that covers the 2nd half of Season 2), I feel that it can be hard to get your head around the dreams and ambitions of the same person creating an alter ego persona depicting an alternate reality if she was alive and well and could live out her deepest desires, only for the real person to falter on life's struggles, which made up an already bad situation even worse. If you do understand, then all power to you. Just the facts to clarify for seemingly the majority who don't quite understand what's going on in the back-and-forth scenarios. Otherwise, it's the same Hanako-kun that we know and love, with Lerche giving it the adaptation it deserves, maintaining the same consistency as it had back in Winter 2020. And still to this day, Masayoshi Oishi knows what he is cooking with yet another OP song for the sequel, though Season 1's OP will forever be the superior song. The same goes with Akari Kito's ED coming back yet again for another rondo, and I don't know which I like best, but both songs have their own merits and for the same reason that they're good to begin with. If anything, Season 2 is the redemption that Jibaku Shounen Hanako-kun a.k.a Toilet-Bound Hanako-kun needs but severely lacks the numbers that bring the assumption that mostly everyone largely forgot about it. At this point, I just hope that everyone can give the series a second chance to redeem itself after the back-and-forth fiasco that was Season 1 (which some people still remember to this day). After all, if there's a wish you want to receive, seek Hanako-kun, and he will give it to you.
