Kage no Jitsuryokusha ni Naritakute! 2nd Season

Enticed by its rumored wealth, Cid Kagenou happily tags along with his sister, Claire, on a trip to the infamous Lawless City. The region is ruled by three monarchs: Yukime, the Spirit Fox; Juggernaut, the Tyrant; and Elisabeth, a dormant progenitor vampire known as the Blood Queen. Hunting Elisabeth down serves as the perfect opportunity for Claire to prove her true mettle. On the other hand, Cid has different objectives—sneaking away from Claire's sight, collecting as much loot as possible, and making Shadow's glorious entrance at the perfect moment.

As Elisabeth's awakening draws near, her subordinate Crimson enacts a treacherous plot, sending the town into a frenzy. Searching for her now-missing brother, Claire finds an unexpected ally in Mary, a vampire hunter, and the pair hurry to the Crimson Tower—the home of the Blood Queen. Meanwhile, Beta and a small team of Shadow Garden recruits also arrive at the Lawless City. As the key players converge on the Crimson Tower, the stage is set for a grand confrontation under the crimson moon.

The only real downside of this season is that it’s only 12 episodes long. It delivers on story, humor, and some very well-animated fights. The main character continues to shine—overpowered yet hilarious, making every scene he's in entertaining.

Side stories are present and enjoyable, but due to the short length of the season, it feels like some of them got cut or were only briefly touched upon. With just a few more episodes, there could’ve been a lot more depth to the ing cast.

The art style holds its ground, keeping the same quality and pace from Season 1. Even as the series approaches three years since ... its debut, the visuals remain impressive—especially for this type of anime. Action scenes are crisp, and the atmosphere fits the world perfectly.

I would 100% recommend this season, especially if you enjoyed the first one. It’s one of those shows I love to rewatch whenever I need a break from the muddy pool of mid-tier seasonal anime. It’s entertaining, well-made, and definitely worth your time.

Mixed Feelings

The music is Excellent, it can even make an action scene that is ordinary become tense, the graphic quality is also good and the special effects are outstanding so that it can spice up a bad scene, but it feels like the footage is too little so it just repeats the same footage by zooming in, too much fan service
Then there are some parts that I feel are not taken from the light novel, and I feel like in this season there are too many "pictures" that are just made to move and not animated, and again, there are too many BOOBS!!!
Additionally, when compared to ... season 1, season 2 should be worse, The only flaw in season 1 in my opinion is that the pace is really bad, it takes too long, and there are a lot of unimportant parts included.

Not Recommended

I watched this series on a light recommendation from a brother. The series is a mix of" One Punch Man" meets Sword Art Online only without any likeable characters, reasonable character progression or a story worth watching. It baffles me that it has a mal score above 4.

The story is terrible. I was bored throughout, not caring about any of the characters' stories, and wondering when the series would get good.
The art is adequate. It is the only slightly redeeming part of this anime.
Watching this series is like listening to someone tell you about the dream they had last night.

Skip this series.
