Senran Kagura Season 2 is clearly the SUPERIOR season (To me it is a 10/10, I am basing this review on anime only and not on the games) 5 reasons why 1. The new shinobi girls from Gessen and Hebijo in Season 2 bring in a lot of better and unique girls to the anime that Season 1 never had. I found pretty girls I loved, Yumi (BEST GIRL), Murakumo, Ryoubi (CUTEST GIRL), that I didn't have before. 2. Boobs now have nipple shots which Season 1 never had. The NUDITY gave the ecchi a real upgrade! It's REALLY HOT! 3. Season 2, in addition to just tearingeach other's shirts off, there's blood seen in the fighting when there's a cut wound that's more like a real ninja battle and the girls would sometimes mask over their face, everything is more ninja like! 4. The story in Season 2 is completely superior. If you ask me, just the first episode itself in Season 2 here was better than all of Season 1. What happened in Season 1 was mindless ecchi ninja training and Hanzo girls battling the Homura team over pointless rivalry. Season 1 only had the Hanzo girls and Homura team and I didn't care about the majority of them except Asuka and maybe Yomi and Haruka? and furthermore both sides were basically just copies of each other. In Season 2, Asuka turns into a much more in depth character than what she was in Season 1. Asuka changes from good to DARK for awhile after losing to a ninja ambush and her friends, Hanzo girls gets captured. (I didn't care about the Hanzo girls so glad they were locked away for half the anime.) There's great focus to the relationship between Asuka and Yumi. In the past, Yumi and Asuka battled each other believing their ninja beliefs were correct. It wasn't until Yumi finally understood her grandfather's teachings that they became best friends who share the same ninja belief that justice is sword and shield (really interesting ninja belief by the way) until Asuka turned dark and abandoned that. Their beliefs are challenged once again as they correct each other for the true road to shinobi. The story in Season 2 goes that the different teams of shinobi girls (Gessen, Hebijo, etc.) are invited to a tourney to compete for the winner title of Shinobi Master by the ninjas that captured the Hanzo girls. Gessen, Yumi's team would not just have to rescue the Hanzo girls, but the teams would also uncover a Youma plot. The motivation is already much better than Season 1 as the the ninjas that plotted the tourney and Youma plot also point back to Yumi's grandfather and his teachings. 5. The ecchi quality and fighting drastically improved in all ways, including the ecchi fights and the serious fights. Season 1 made the mistake of trying to be too perverted with meh girls and repetitive boob fondling which is just not good enough. With the lack of males(aside from that old teacher that no one gives a F about) and lack of nudity and nipples, Season 1 ends up lacking stimulation, being boring and cheap ecchi. The serious fights consisted of catfights with a I'm good you're bad/I'm better than you cliché and wasn't interesting. Season 2 was REALLY HOT because of the new girls (who I wanted to see ecchi with) and there was much more ecchiness and nudity with nipples. Even the boob fondling is awesome as there are lots more new (and frankly better) girls to check and compare. The service is great that there is no need for any male character. The ecchi fights were light-hearted and so much fun. I loved the nudity in the watergun fight! Another thing Season 2 did great throughout was show the girls in more outfits like swimsuit/schoolgirl uniform/Santa suit in addition to the Shinobi transformation. Also, Yumi and Asuka dressing up in different costumes while shopping was so cute! The serious fights for the girls comes with a betrayal-esque shock and disbelief which makes it very interesting. Even Homura became a really interesting character when she was attacked by Dark Asuka, and we saw her use her Fire form. Yumi Ice Queen form was really awesome as she went up against Fubuki and learning who Fubuki really was. Fubuki and the Youma Rasetsu also comes with the shocking origin of shinobi/youma vengeance. This time around, the fights are real, the beliefs and ideals mean something, and enemy is solid that makes victory and defeat hold much more significance. Final note You can start Senran Kagura by watching this season first too no problem just because Season 1 won't ever be as good as this! There's not much background information you need to know to understand this season, only that Hanzo Girls and Team Homura are now friends since their fight in Season 1 and you can recognize the the girls in each team. Check out Season 2 even if you weren't a fan of Season 1 before, it would make a fan out of you!
