Hamefura X is basically everything from season 1, improved and turned up several notches. In short, if you liked season 1, you’ll love the second season as the stakes, plot and characterisation see dramatic improvements. Hamefura season 1 was one of the most talked about shows of 2020. It was really a breath of fresh air for the isekai genre. There hadn’t been many otome style isekai, focusing on female MC’s with harems. There was comedy, a ditzy MC and lots of fun slice of life moments. While the season was great, I feel it lacked depth at times. I struggled to really get an ideaof the direction of the story other than Bakarina having to eventually choose who she’d be with romantically.
This season did a much better job of advancing the overall story, developing Bakarina and the side cast and creating drama. With the exception of a couple anime original episodes, I really enjoyed the more serious tone that we got this season. While that usual comedy is definitely still there, it does feel like there’s a lot more serious heartfelt moments with characters this time around. I think the pacing was awesome as well. The mini arcs that characters got in episodes were the perfect length and flowed seamlessly.
The art is just as good as the first season, it feels like they picked up everything right where they left off. I hope that will be the case for a season 3 as well. Really, watching this is a no brainer if you enjoyed the first season you’ll find the improvements a welcome addition.
I think Hamefura could be a turning point for the isekai genre and as a result we’ll see more Otome style isekai series adapted. While I love the usual OP male MC shows, it’s nice to get a change of pace, different scenery and a different type of story every now and again. Given the commercial success of the anime, BD and LN’s, I’m confident this is the start of something great.
Hamefura X gets 9 out of 10.

It's more of the dense Black Hole Bakarina and her reverse-harem dousing comedy bits on your screen! And you'd think of this very question: "Catarina has already friendzoned everyone, and the supposedly doom flag is pretty much gone now, so where could Season 2 go at the very least?" My answer to you: More relationship shenanigans with Catarina being love-blocked at every corner, especially with her love interests solidified that is Geordo, the adopted brother Keith, and the rest of the character cast whom doesn't want to let Catarina go for their own embellishments. And embrace it with fun, laughter and happiness...down by a notch. To comparethe story elements between both seasons, Season 2 takes a noticeably deeper dive into the side quest that is the whole "dark magic" realm with the engagement with the Department of Magic in dealing with new issues with the head of the Deparment of Magic Larna Smith. Some new characters are weaved into this scenario, like Rufus Brode in the whole Stuart family debacle of becoming king, and Keith of his status as ths son of a mistress in the complicatedness of the Claes family name. In the midst of all of this, the dense Catarina will always be dense, but at least she is made aware of their advances which are more fervent and with motive than the last.
Other than that, everything is pretty much the same as what you'd expect of Season 1 in the same tried-and-true forumla with a few improvements on Silver Link's part, and an OST which I felt that while it was good, it was a step downwards. So if you liked what the prequel showed, then the sequel here will not disappoint you, and vice versa if otherwise.

(SPOILER) So, Hamefura season 2, it's a solid anime and I enjoyed it. Its story was eh, but when you watch it, it's fun. Art was great, sound wasn't really noticeable (imo) and the characters, oh man the characters. Since their gimmick was introduced in season 1, I wont really touch on that. So, the characters, they are very fun to watch and their interactions are hilarious, but their mindless obsession to Katarina just takes away points for me. I know that that is a trope in harem, but damn do they take it to the max, however, that's what makes the show good. Let me explain,the over the top character tropes are what makes the show enjoyable and fun to watch, but at the cost of the overall character rating.
(APPROACHING ACTUAL SPOILERS)
New characters. First is Sora, he basically kidnapped Katarina and fell in love with her, classic Katarina. He's purpose is basically, "I was bad, but now I'm good, we get his sob story and that's about it. Thought, he adds to the overall story, indirectly setting up Katarina's and Geordo and playing as a companion in the rescue Keith arc. Next, is Lana, she's just there to expand the world and to bring more things about magic and stuff. Then there's, Frey and Ginger, Ginger is just a Katarina admirer, that is all, and Frey who is inspired by Katarina and has a date with Nicol. They don't add much to the overall story, just new harem members I guess. Last, is the bear (Alexander), he's just comic relief. Then again, this whole show is comic relief with a dash of cringe and clichés.
Next, my main problem, the story. Ok so, the story is very wacky and weird. first, you have kidnapping of Katarina, this gives a love interest and accomplishes nothing, except make the harem more protective. They give no real motive behind the kidnapping, because "I was just being used". This arc also brings Katarina to realize that Geordo actually loves her, which is a nice plot point and is really fun to watch. Next is the Magic Association mini-arc. tbh I was excited, because they would expand on the magic, but no, they just added magic items, and not the characters using magic, so that was a disappointment. Last, is the Keith kidnapping arc, more dark magic shenanigans and Keith confessing love. This part was pretty cringe, but most last arcs are cringe and full of clichés. Then the ending, in harem fashion, ends with no one winning, and it basically staying the same, other than the growth of Katarina and Keith. Their growth basically is, Katarina, realizes that people actually lover her and that makes her feel flustered and Keith, who is now open about his love for his sister. Still, I enjoyed watching it, because of the stupid nonsense, since this anime is just stupid nonsense ( I really can't stop stressing this point).
Overall, cringe at times, decent character development, wacky shenanigans, but still being very enjoyable.
(Note I kinda forgot most of the details of the plot, I think this is accurate tho)

When you come to watch a harem series, you know basically what to expect: A dense MC, a cast full of characters that will love the MC, gags, troupes with reactions and phrases equal to their stereoype. Also, some of these shows can still make the viewer reflect, relate, root for a character to win because you developed symphathy by it, its not only pure entertaiment. Hamefura S2 overuses the first part and completely ignore the last one. The show ultimately lost it interesting premise of S1, the touching moments like in the irl side of the MC in S1, back there she had a purpose forher actions, she affected the other characters in a more meaningful way. Actions actually matters back then and the MC was committed, it had a purpose.
Now Hamefura S2 is unimaginative. It got worse. Every single comedy gag is a copy pasta of what we got in S1. Hell, we even got an episode that was the same in S1, but in a different setting. Katarina says the most frivolous things that she barely gave much thought about it and other characters buys it right away fixing the "problem". They even advance physically in order to provoke her, but the show insists to take that effort and put it in the trash.
The tropes are multiplied by 100, specially Katarina's dense mechanism. It is so over the top that render any moves a character do to improve anything with their relationship status with her pointless. It's so aggravating that a guy on top of her in bed kissing her neck is considered by her "that was just a mosquito bite". When kissed she even tried to distort reality and thought it was a dream, even when the kisser do it again right after, she negates, blush or whatever and that stituation never actually makes her reflect, care or debate in her head what she gotta do, how to react, what's going to happen with their relationship the other day. Interactions have no continuity.
This is beyond a comedy formula, you ruin the most potential move a character can do with her (a kiss) in other to spice the harem, and you just ignore character development or any character progression whatsoever. It's insane. It's not funny anymore when you just realize any interaction with the MC will be disposable 10s later and never brought back again. This is my biggest criticism as any action a character do is not meaningful. You don't do this with your story ever, even if you prioritize the comedy aspect (that's subpar) you just ruined the romance part.
The problems are just solved so easily, sometimes painful to get involved when things are so simple, effortless. I think the episode I have the most fun wasn't a comedic one, but when they developed Nicol's struggles with the introduction of a new character that was a breath of fresh air. It's hard to say, but when things are supposed to have Katarina as the center of attention, the anime becomes so predictable and bland that the outcome isn't rewarding. It were indeed a few instances where I could laugh because it wasn't a gag used in S1.
The designs are fine, but the animation is pretty poor, with a static model of the character in place and just the mouth moving, if you're attentive this may hurt your experience.
Overall disappointed with S2. I thought they could be at least funnier and creative with the many situations presented. That the characters that got development and realized their feelings and decided to take action torwards the MC could be at least rewarded. This show is stagnated, it is in an endless spiral of overused trope lines, repetitive gags and mired relationship - with every character in the same spot as S1, because kisses are irrelevant, confessions doesn't affect the MC for more than one episode. Life is just this convenient and bland in the world of Hamefura S2.

Otome Game no Hametsu Flag shika Nai Akuyaku Reijou ni Tensei shiteshimatta... X (2021) Honestly, I did wonder where they would go with this season since it sort of ended last time. I thought maybe a spanner in the works but no it's just a reverse harem which is fine don't get me wrong but it has 100% detracted from the purpose of the anime in the first place. There is no doom route in this season until you see the end which has led to a movie but that is the very end. This is just a reverse harem with a slice of life actionsand an occasional 'oh no' moment. It is just a group of people doting on the main character constantly to a point of not being characters anymore rather more dogs barking love me.
Art wise it is a nice looking show, it does have flaws and drops quality drastically randomly for tiny moments and that is not good. If a game dropped graphics every time you went through a door it wouldn't be a great thing anymore.
The sound is standard for the show, I did enjoy the first season op coming back at the last episode to close it off with.
Characters now are soulless, they have no purpose but to dote on Caterina which would be fine but that show is about the main character avoiding doom flags not being like this. Quite a lot of NTR people seem to want to be doing in this one too since boundaries of engagement don't matter.
I would say this comes across more like an epilogue since nothing really happens in regard to the story itself and somehow they managed to stretch that out into 12 episodes. If they had just done what they show at the end of episode 12 as the season then it would have been marvellous. Slap on OVA in between the seasons to catch us up and get straight on with the doom flags. They did not do this and it has ruined the show in this season.
3/10.

I quite enjoyed season one even with the flaws. Im not particularly a fan of the stupid harem lead who never catches on that ppl are in love with them, but season 1 had charm, interesting plot, and backstory for the characters. Season 2 is a complete waste of time. There is hardly any character development to be found. No plot. Its like watching a bunch of filler episodes. It's not very funny and as some said before alot of the characters come off as annoying. By halfway through the season i found myself skipping thru alot of the episodes. If one really has togive it a try then watch a few episodes. If you find yourself enjoying then youll be fine with the rest, if you think they are boring then just stop cus it doesnt get any better.

Wow, this is by far and away the worst sequel I've ever seen. I went into this with an open mind because I enjoyed the first season quite a bit, and was horribly disappointed with this. In retrospect, it was predictable that it would fail, because the second season really has no purpose apart from worshiping the main character. None of the characters are memorable apart from the fact that they all like Katarina for one reason or another. I struggle to even remember their names; they literally barely even have a personality. That was more forgivable in the first season which did have a purpose,but the second season is all about the characters--and the weakness of the anime really starts to show.
This was a complete waste of time for me. Now the third season seems like it's going to be even more bloated with too many characters--which was already a problem to begin with.

The season of this anime is nothing but a disappointment compared to its predecessor season. The element (kidnapping, etc.) that has been used to progress the story has been recycled throughout the season. To put it simply-- it's plain boring and offers nothing new to the audience. I just continued watching it for the sake of completing this anime. The harem genre often follows a certain pattern and is full of cliches. MC *exist* and then everyone falls in love. They attempted to push the story forward by having character development (Nicol, Geordo, Keith, Mary), but they failed in the execution. Mary, specifically, gets more annoying. Sorais the only new character that has more depth than the established main cast.
OSTs and sound are pretty mediocre, and the only saving grace of this anime is the art, which is as good as season 1.
Overall, I rated this anime 5/10 as it is average in pretty much everything—just your average cliche harem but with no exciting development.

I loved season one, but I feel like something really important was lost between seasons. Season 1 made me so happy that we didn't have anyone trying to push Katarina too hard, but this season we have at least 4 moments when people crosses her boundaries completely. I felt absolutely betrayed by some characters. I don't know what happened or who was fired from season 1 to season 2, but I don't know if I wanna continue if it keeps going down this patch. Since this type of gimmick is used again and again in romance animes, maybe most people won't think anything of it. Butyeah, it rubbed me the wrong way.

My daughter and I enjoyed Season 1 very much. It was cute, light and funny, and the characters were likeable and the progression of their relationships with the MC and why they all loved her were fairly believable within the suspension of disbelief that comes from knowing you're watching a harem anime. She actually did help them all grow and overcome some things, and they had an entire child- and teen-hood to become close to each other. However, in Season 2 her cluelessness about their feelings for her was no longer excusable, cute or silly; it was extremely frustrating, particularly since some of themstarted getting much more forthright in their wooing. The "who are they going to fall for?" plot device cannot be stretched this thin without breaking. By episode 10 we were ready to throw things at the screen every time she said, "Huuhh??" or did not understand what a character meant even by an outright declaration or clear demonstration of romantic love. This is a person who loved otome games and romance novels so there is NO WAY she could be this clueless. And even if she was, did either of her moms not teach her ANYTHING about sex or relationships? She's 17, for goodness' sake. The excuse the writers give her is that she thinks so little of herself that she can't imagine anyone would love her that way. Oh how noble, she's so humble. Nope, it makes her look like an absolute idiot the entire season. And her reactions when someone went 'further' than she was comfortable with was not cute or funny but just weird.
I actually enjoyed the first arc because the new "love interest" she meets is the first one who is immediately up front with her about his attraction and she also expresses more open admiration for him as a person than I recall her doing with any of her other friends. And she doesn't recoil at his advances. So I actually kind of got my hopes up that maybe he was "the one" she would end up with. But nothing went anywhere with that the rest of the season and it focused on the other people, and he became just one more groupie.
There is almost zero story progression. It takes the entirety of season 2 (instead of the first few episodes as we expected) to even progress to the point where two of her suitors have finally gotten Catarina to realize they are in love with her and it's only because one of them said it loudly in her face, understandably frustrated at her complete cluelessness, and the other kept 'wooing' her with gifts and clear advances. And even AFTER they did this, she went into one of their rooms to show him her new PJs and the guy did the best thing in the entire season: exhorted her to realize they're all now adults and that people are sexually attracted to her, and not to put herself in situations she's not ready for. (If you've seen Ouran HSHC, he used the same tactic as Kyoya did.) When he asked her how she could still not realize he was in love with her after he actually outright told her, she said, "I thought it was a dream." That is the laziest possible writing right there.
And of course they ALL still love her and want her to 'choose' them, not just the two whom she finally knows do. So they're all still at square one in the relationship department. And now for Season 3 there are even MORE characters being introduced who, in her previous world, show up in the sequel game, so of course the same thing happens in the game world. And we're supposed to be excited for the harem to get new people in it? Definitely not at this point. The plot device is dead and needs to be buried and the characters need to move forward!

What a disappointment. The first season was a great feel good story where the main character tried to avoid their doom by making friends with everyone. This season though, every character just seems to be boiled down to just one character trait/gag they repeat constantly. It's the same as season one, but the gag you would see maybe a few times in season one is done multiple times an episode here. Everyone is always constantly fighting over Katarina, and it gets old quick. Even new characters just introduced quickly start pursuing her as well, in often pretty inappropriate ways. In the first season there wasa bit of contention in addition to the normal plot, but the plot just isn't interesting in this season. I kinda had to force myself through this show, hoping something good would come of it. Save yourself the time if what I mentioned seems bad for you as well.

The second season of Hamefura is sure to please enjoyers of the fun vibes and warm empathetic notes of the first season. Catarina once again excels in being what fans have come to call "Bakarina": an amusing yet charismatically caring buffoon who seems eternally oblivious, but manages to stumble backwards into solving problems with her friends and her five brain cells. The dissonance between the situation and how Catarina perceives (or doesn't perceive) it makes for great comedy and permeates much of season two. The large, jovial, central crew of characters who came to love and admire Catarina in the first season reprise their roles,remaining great friends with one another aside from the sparks of romantic rivalry, and continue to showcase their personalities when the central cast faces dilemmas.
Having cleared the doom flags of Fortune Lover, Catarina has been freed from the shackles of turning into the archetypal otome game villainess. However, without that clear threat looming over the protagonist, most of this second season could possibly be titled "The Hijinks of Catarina Claes and the Friends She Made Along the Way". There's not really a broader plot that ties the season together aside from the romantic tension that Catarina has helped foment between essentially all of the core cast. One could reasonably argue that Hamefura X counts as slice-of-life. There's a lot of screentime dedicated to backstories for new secondary characters and throwbacks/callbacks to previous events (such as before the season 1 timeskip). Several episodes are wholly dedicated to opening and closing a particular incident or story "arc", nipping the bud for any further growth of the story. It takes until episode 9 for the show to take itself a little more seriously and hold and develop a plot point with stakes for more than one episode. These serve to flesh out the characters and their attitudes, but might be a drag for viewers wanting more forward progression. The backstories and the diversions that lead to them can be fun and intriguing, but many ultimately don't contribute a whole lot to the plot, and some of the introduced characters don't add a whole lot. In fact, one of the episodes is essentially a recycling of an episode from season 1 re-envisioned in a different setting. The characters don't change substantially throughout the season, though some of these diversions give them some additional depth.
As a whole, Hamefura X doesn't particularly stand out as far as comedic reverse harems are concerned, but viewers who liked the comedy and characters from the first season and their united pining for Catarina will probably enjoy season two, with clearer romantic beats. Those looking for a renewed focus from season two or a deeper dive into the "escape from an otome game fate" storyline from the first season may be left wanting more. In that respect, Hamefura X feels more like an extended bridge between the first season and a possible third entry in the series rather than a complete work unto itself.

I loved the first season. Never before had I seen such a carefree, bisexual, romantic comedy. Every element was done so well. This is, in large part, a worth sequel. In many ways it's an absolute catastrophe though. I'll just focus on what it screws up, as if you liked the first season you'll like this one (outside of stuff I mention) First up let's talk about Geordo. He was just another suitor in the first season with his own motivations. His character gets more context in this season but all character depth is removed, he becomes someone who, on multiple occasions, forces himself on Katarinaand the rest of the time demands that he owns her, that she's nothing more than a possession of his. He actually gets into an argument at one stage with the others where they're saying she's her own woman and he's saying no, she's my possession. The fact that in this otherwise progressive comedy this is acceptable is insulting. By the way, he's not painted as a bad guy in all this, it's her fault for being oblivious and wanting friends.
Second is dark magic. It goes from being a malevolent force to just 'Because dark magic. Something bad happen? Dark magic. Drop your coffee? Dark magic. It's absurd. When they try and raise the tension and tell a story arc it's obvious it's going to be 'because dark magic'. This'd be fine if they didn't dedicate half the season to these idiotic arcs. One dimensional bad guys are another issue, but let's be honest here that's a real issue in anime in general.
The second season takes time away from the fun characters and replaces it with fake arcs and one line jokes and a deeply flawed obsession with Geordo. It feels more like The Matrix 2 and Aliens, in movie terms.
Katarina remains a fun and powerful protagonist and at times the writing is better than S1, but for the most part it really feels like the writing/author has no-where to go and is desperately out of ideas.
SPOILER(ISH)
This last point is most obvious in the set up for the movie/next season. It's clear they're just repeating Season 1 with new characters in the Dept of Magic.

Season 1 started off with promise. An Isekai from a Villainess's perspective, a current trend. While Season 1 was enjoyable, since it dealt with Catarina trying to avoid her doom flags, Season 2 falls flat. There is no main plot of Season 2. Each episode is somewhat its own mini-sub-plot with no major correlation to the previous episodes (except some mini plot). Catarina's character was enjoyable in Seasons 1, however, in Season 2 I found her to be super annoying. There has been no character development in over 24 episodes (12+12). She has remained the same simple minded, dense, optimist. She has never realized howshe impacted the storyline, nor any other character's feelings for her when it was blatantly obvious. She is always so focused on her doom flags that she never stops to think about anything else.
Regarding other characters, Mary Hunt's obsession is borderline toxic and creepy. It surpasses the boundaries of friendship and develops into toxic yandere behavior. The whole plot of Keith being a love interest is super uncomfortable since he is her adopted brother and distant cousin. Overall, there is no depth for why they like Catarina except the fact that she was nice to them.
In addition, it is highly unrealistic that out of the 7 LIs, not one moved on (knowing full well she is engaged to Geordo). The lack of insight and retrospection in each character is astonishing. All the LI's basically have a pack mentality and feel the need to be present every moment with Catarina. After a while, it becomes hard to differential between them.
Perhaps my added displeasure comes from watching S2 right after S1. It did not give me time to miss the characters as such and feel happy upon their return.
In my opinion, it is worth season 1 but not Season 2.

Honestly, this season was a disappointment. If it wasn't for Sora's story (which I loved) and the ending, it definitely wouldn't have been a 7. It was messy, mostly no explication given, boring and felt more like a filler than an actual season. The possesive harem gets more and more annoying, with Mary and prince Geordo becoming totally unlikeable in the end. It isn't funny anymore; it's just annoying and unecessary. Catarina's oblivion to anything romantic also becomes unamusing at some parts, like you just can't be THAT much of an airhead, you know? Aside the downgrade of characters that sometimes are just straight up stupidand annoying (ahem, the older prince that has an obsession with his little brothers), the story also wasn't... anything. It wasn't really there. It tried to do something, but it didn't succed. Some events were completely unrelated to anything, some back stories are boring, stereotypical and unenjoyable, things just happened for stupid reasons or no reasons, and it wasn't even really enjoyable. It had no goal, yet it tried to.
The sound was pretty mediocre as well.
Overall, altough it's a shame to the first season, if you liked My Next Life as a Villainess you can give it a try. Because honeslty the third season (if we'll get it) looks like it's gonna be pretty damn good.

I need to start off by saying season one wasn't so bad. And since I watched season two right after season one, the bad qualities of this season were really highlighted in comparison to the last, not that it was perfect but definitely better than whatever they thought they were trying to accomplish in this season. Firstly, any good story needs some sort of character development in order to feel like it's progressing somewhere. Absolutely nothing changed between seasons one and two. Everything ridiculous was kept intact, and there was little to no development in the characters and the storyline. It felt like all they weredoing was stalling time for 12 episodes. In many areas it was totally unrealistic how the female lead would get out of situations (by asking for snacks, and being nice, seriously?!).
The premise of the story was captivating - a villainness trying to escape her doom - but the end result was so exaggerated. Eight different people who are all somewhat in love with her, and the anime did not even bother to conclude even ONE of those storylines. They just dragged the story on and on with ridiculous sub-plots that did not move anything forward.
This season was really disappointing, and I felt like a large chunk of my life was wasted by investing in it.

As a person who was (and still is) a fan of the first season of Hamefura, I can confidently say that the second season was a bit disappointing for me. Without a doubt, there are a lot of things in the 2nd season that I enjoyed, such as the addition of new characters, the opening song (way better than season 1's opening), moments to make you smile, and getting to know about the past of the characters in more detail, but all these good parts seem to have been overshadowed by the 2 biggest flaws of season two, which I will be discussing in detail(Nope no spoilers so rest easy).
The first flaw of season 2 is the episodes that exist just for the sake of completing the 12 episode requirement. These episodes do not make sense as to why they are there because they neither sync with the previous episode nor the next episode. Not to mention that whatever is shown in that episode is not ever again mentioned and holds 0 importance to the plot. They are just randomly there cause y'know, gotta complete 12 episodes.
The second and in my opinion the biggest flaw of season 2 is none other than our protagonist Catarina Claes. Her personality which I enjoyed in season 1 had become the most annoying thing in season 2. Her so-called refreshing personality which comprises of her being happy-go-lucky, talkative, and naive may have been suitable for season 1, but this time it's making her look purely dumb. No matter how optimistic and cheerful you are, there is a thing called as normal human response to a situation which Catarina definitely doesn't display. There are so many scenes that are straight-up infuriating and will internally make you scream "WHY IS SHE SO STUPID!? " or "THAT'S NOT EVEN THE CORRECT WAY TO REACT TO THIS SITUATION" I know that her personality is like that to make stuff funny, but it's not funny. Then, there comes an intriguing question that Catarina was a high school girl in her previous life and she plays otome games then how come she is so oblivious to the advances that male characters make at her and their feelings? She should be the first one to figure it out. To sum it up, she's the dumb shoujo manga heroine stereotype which the author has covered up by the whole Villainess concept.
Do I recommend Hamefura 2? Sure, watch it, after all, everyone has their own opinions, and you might enjoy it more than the first season.

Imma be honest, I didn't enjoy this season as much as the first. The harem got to big, Caterina even got dumber and more oblivious, and the episodes just seemed random and like filler. Caterina is also too forgiving and has zero sense of danger even when being kidnapped. She honestly has become an annoying character to me. They also kept using the same kidnapping plot over and over again which got annoying as well. I honestly think they should've focused on Caterina's relationships more and give hints on who she is falling in love with instead of her being taking advantage of all thetime by three specific characters . Like the anime/manga Kiss Him Not Me did an excellent job at making a harem but also making the mc slowly understand who she likes the most and picking someone and it making sense. I know a big point of harems are the ship wars but in this series it seems like no one has a chance unless the literally forced themselves on Caterina which shouldn't be the case for a MC who mentally is in her 20s. I really hope next season is better because this was disappointing.

I like this anime and this genre in general. I'm also someone who rewatches series. During this, I'm re-evaluating series and characters. And one thing that has pushed the series down a notch over time for me is a certain character. And no it's not the Pervy-Bear from Season 2 Ep09-12. It's the first male lead, Geordo. In Season 1 I already found him to be the worst of all "Conquerable Characters". But in Season 2 he got even more annoying I think. I hope for season 3 he changes. Because I strongly doubt that MC is dating (Ending Up with) anyone else. The series won't be so "progressive"that she ends with any of the other girls, and for everyone else, who ends up with who has already been hinted at.
Alan = Mary
Nicol = Fray
Keith = Sophia/Maria/Ginger
Keith is the only one who hasn't had hints or interactions with certain other relevant female characters.
Should MC not end up Nicol, it would be a consideration for Sophia to partner with Keith so she could become MC's SIL.
(Accordingly, Keith & Maria because she is the game's heroine. And Keith & Ginger because the character traits will complement each other.)
I'm a friend of the shipping from MC & any of the Ascart kids.
