Asking the Important Questions That Have Nagged at us for Some Time
And come to think of it, yeah, our protagonist is not in a fetal position perpetually screaming for some reason. (Well...MOST of the time he's not)
Season 2 of Re: Zero seems to have come to an end, though the story is DEFINITELY not over. If you have not seen this show, do NOT start with season 2 go back and start with Episode 1-A of season one (which I discussed here back in....it's been four YEARS since this came out!).
This season, while lacking the breakneck pace of the first, is nevertheless exceptionally good, maintaining the gatling gut-punch tone but interspersing a good deal of character reflection, development and revelations about the overarching plot, which give the viewer a better understanding of who the heroes aren't.
This show is grimdark to the max but it has a thread of idealism running through it that keeps it from becoming nihilistic.
This season does not progress as far as the first by a long shot, the time that has passed is about what it would take to watch the whole season, and the characters are not far removed in time place or situation from where they were at the beginning of the season. The season finale, doesn't really FEEL like a finale, but there is a definate sensation of having gotten over a hump of sorts as the plot is moved forward tremendously and the story keeps one on the edge of one's seat.
This is a fantastic show, and I highly recommend it to any who have missed it.

That's the first half of season two; I think the second half airs in January.
(Just checked - yep, second half in January.)
Which will be a busy month since we're also getting season three of Log Horizon and Non Non Biyori, season two of Re:Slime, and season one of That Spider Show.
