Story: 4/10
There's not really much to say about the story other than the fact that it focuses on the Phoenix Festa and the events that transpire during it.
Art: 6/10
The art is really good. I love the designs of the characters and the city itself looks beautiful. The action scenes also look amazing. Unfortunately, I have to give the art a 6 because I couldn't ignore the fact that there were times where the animation looked kind of stilted and 3D-ish and I hate when anime do that because in my opinion, it's lazy. At least put in the time and effort to flesh everything out.

This second season pick off where the first left. I'll say this one better, for some reasons.

- Story-wise, more background stories to enlighten us. More serious tone than the first I think, which is good
- Action/Battle, Still as good as the first or even better. More strategies involved and we could see how the MC struggle more to overcome his limit when face stronger enemies.
- More characters and team development, it's true that they're still helplessly fighting over MC (this is harem, ecchi show right? nothing is wrong with that ), but we could see they're growing as team and trust each other more.

Overall, ...

This is one of the spring anime that makes me hype since last season

Story(8/10):
This is the continuation from the season 1 where they were participating in the tournament. The plot switch from high school theme to solely battle in the tournament with some minor seasoning. After the tournament ends, there were some episodes left. The story then moves into the next arc which brings a lot of cliffhanger. Which made me rate 8 instead of 9. So much new character, new plot which makes me like "wait.. who is she?","Ehh...",etc.
Definitely, I would like to watch the next sequel

Art(8/10):
The art is really good. Especially when ...

I don't understand why everyone is hating on this anime. I've seen much worse harem, OP lead character animes than this one. I don't think the story is boring either. There's so much we don't know too. Yeah, he did get some of his restrictions taken off, but they definitely aren't off. Plus, what's up with his sister? We still know nothing about her. Additionally, I want to know more about Claudia's background and story. I would love to see their team in the next festa because that's a pretty badass team they put together! I also want to know what Yabuki is up to. ...

With the ending of the 2nd season finishing as I write this, I think it's fair to say that Asterisk is pretty good within its genre. Not life changing or anything, but within the battle harem type genre, it's probably among the best I can think of at the moment. But first, make sure you watch the (inferior, I may add)first season... now then, let's begin.

STORY: 6/10

If you watched the first season and are still watching it now, you get the whole idea of what's going on. Pretty much more of the same, with the Phoenix Festa continuing and the MC continuing to overcome the ...

Asterisk War is an adventure that has barely gotta started, because of its slow pacing and no third season in sight. But none the less, it was a fun one to watch and what we have already is good enough to get your fill or thrilling action. Many of the characters though, are your basic archetypes put to the test, but isn't as heavy handed as other action harems like it. The show is more of the same thing we always see, but trust me, it feels different than the others. If you want to see my full review/discussion video, then copy the link down ...

Action-harem based anime, and I do not see where all the hate is coming from.

Although the series is just a continuation to the first season, Gakusen Toshi Asterisk 2/The Asterisk War 2 is still the best action, sci-fi, fantasy and harem anime to date.

The review rundown:

Story: As mentioned, the series story is a continuation to the events of the first season where Ayato's seal is now revealed to the public where it sends him and his partner, Julis, into trouble of winning the Festa since there is more powerful opponents to stand its way. It was intended to stop it from comparing it with Chivalry of a Failed Knight in terms of setting.

Characters: Same main characters ...

When this show came out in 2015, it had a "rival" if you could put it that way, and it was a show called "The Chivalry of a Failed Knight" at first this show started weaker than the asterisk war but over time it showed what it truly was at it's core and eventually beat out the asterisk war by the end of the season. despite its bigger fanbase and higher rating, the asterisk war is the show that would continue with a second season...too many people's distaste. The asterisk war didnt have a strong footing in the base so ...

The second season of Asterisk is more like the second half of Asterisk as we finally see the Phoenix Festas come to a conclusion. It's a much more focused season with an emphasis on action and on introducing enough cute girls to match up to Kanojo ga Flag wo Oraretara. It also offers some more plot and character depth, helping to differentiate the series a bit from its many other sibling shows back in 2015. If you enjoy action-centric shows with a touch of harem, then this franchise has a decent offering.

Animation:
The show is unchanged in its drawing style from the first season. Expect the ...

The 2nd season of Asterisk wars was a little better than season 1, had good battles, and good character development for some characters. It was good in a lot of terms, there was a cliffhanger set at the end of the season.

What I particularly liked about this season is some of the fights and the character development.

There are some flashy fights, decent animation, and art style I would say, there are still a lot of mysteries to be solved though.

You can enjoy it if you have seen season1 and understood the whole plot of it.

I give it 6/10.
