100-man no Inochi no Ue ni Ore wa Tatteiru 2nd Season

Once again, the Game Master's world of quests unexpectedly pulls in Yuusuke Yotsuya and the rest of this old team. Accompanied by the newest addition, Keita Torii, the team reunites with Kahabell, still unaware of their actions' impact on this world.

After bidding Kahabell farewell, the team sets out on their newly appointed quest—an offering of a Jiffon Buffalo at Vaikdamnia on Jiffon Island. However, as their journey to the island commences, the team shortly finds that the quest is not as simple as it initially seemed.

In fact, the island is terrorized by orcs that have made a deal with its inhabitants: instead of devouring the islanders, the orcs will be granted buffalo. With the growing shortage of buffalo, the annual Vaikdamnia festival cannot proceed. But, given the importance of the team's quest, they are left with the obvious choice—rid the island of the orcs and save the islanders.

*Minor Spoilers Ahead*

This season is pretty good to be fair.

( I’m Standing on a Million Lives = ISOAML)

ISOAML in the first glace looks like the most mediocre type of isekai anime, BUT it's not! Let me explain:
ISOAML's plot is pretty good they executed the story pretty well, that it became quite an entertaining show. It combines comedy, drama, and fantasy themes, which was a pretty generic idea, but ISOAML combined it in a unique way that presents it pretty well despite being underrated. This show's first impression was quite similar to Konosuba which was one of the main reasons that got me watching till this ... season, ISOAML has its beauty on its own that most people tend to seek out but never gave it a try. It truly pains me to see that this anime is underrated but oh well, everyone has their own opinion.


Story: 8/10, this season itself is indeed very good excluding all the flaws.

Animation: 5/10, it's not bad but not the best.

Sound: 5/10, pretty average, and nothing special.

Character: 8/10, the characters are fairly good though it wouldn't hurt to have more character developments. The main character's development is very well executed, the way he seeks amends is by not tainting other's hands, he would rather take up all the dirty work(killing someone) than let his fellow party members do it since he has already killed someone in the past, not knowing that the world they were in was an alternate universe. Yotsuya said it himself "I've already killed someone. All scum ought to die: In the end, even I'll likely. Until then. I'll kill those who ought to be killed."

Enjoyment: 8/10, I look forward every week to the newest episode and watch it as soon a possible, I was intrigued.

Overall: 8/10, I wished this anime would have 24 eps each season, but there's no use thinking about my ideals. To get things straight, I gave the anime an 8/10 due to the ISOAML's plot and enjoyment, though that's just my personal opinion but well who knows, maybe some of you might agree with me.

Mixed Feelings

The second season of 100-man was... weird. Remember what the first season of the anime was all about? The interesting proposition, where the RPG dynamic was applied in a convenient and often stupid way. Now, the show has changed that a bit, bringing a more arc-oriented perspective instead of this boring focus. But as much as a show like 100-man has improved, it's still a complicated experience to say the least, and that's for two reasons: ambitious story and split cour.

"Split cour" is a term used for shows that take a break between one cour and another. In the beginning, the goal was to maintain ... the relevance of the anime brand and the project, to complete the work, ensuring a good return for the studio and creators of the original material. Now, the purpose of the split cour is usually sustained to give the studios more time to make the continuation of the project as good as possible. It's normal for this to happen in the industry, and many shows manage to make up for problems and even improve their own story, which as the chapters go on present a higher quality and sense to make the show interesting. 100-man did this. The gap between one season and the next was even longer than usual (6 months), but honestly it wasn't that enjoyable an improvement.

This second season is divided into two arcs, where the first is the climax of the whole show so far. On a Volcanic Island there is a conflict between Orcs and Humans, where Yotsuya and his group face, together with a group of mercenaries, this mission. Torii Keita, the new member, entered the team of heroes as someone nice and more charming than the rest of the characters. Well, this is no merit, if you think that anyone could be more eye-catching than all the girls in the group. By the way, Keita was a boy who had a fight with Yotsuya in real life, before the first season ended. This insertion of the character for the involvement of the two was a good attempt to relate the characters and also to recover what had happened in the past. Speaking of the past, Kahabell was a character reused in the show to enhance the love she had with the protagonist, even though she had spent more than ten years in the fantasy universe.

The arc, even though it wasn't that interesting, was nice to follow. It really had captivating episodes in the middle of a normal RPG story. It was a credit to the effort given by the Maho Film studio for the show. Yotsuya had another internal evolution phase, characters like Kusue and Tokitake improved in performance and the mission was completed. It also had Yotsuya bearing a burden: the weight of having to do cruelty to complete her goals. It's a brave determination and one that deserves attention, as it's a factor that will surely make the show have a conclusion focused on this. It's nothing like "power of friendship." It's more like "if being a monster in this world will make my friends okay, I'll do it without hesitation". On top of all that, the existence of a man controlling a dragon was

The second Arc is more debatable and, for me, has some inconsistencies that hurt the overall story. This time, a Village living has a legend where a land exists that is able to bring eternal peace to its inhabitants, the "New Eden". Meanwhile, the leader of the region uses the very people who live in this village for exploration missions, where instead of really being an attempt to find this sacred land, it is actually a goal to disseminate and even eliminate the population of the village, which is experiencing problems and lack of food and other resources.
Yotsuya then, along with his group and a girl named Jezby (who by the way becomes the antagonist of this mission) and Glenda (the new member, who is a foreigner), leave for this mission destined by the Game Master. Actually, this story is not really incoherent, however the way the objectives were set was not pleasant.

Even though the show tries to leave the Village leader in the position of being guilty for killing many people, he ends the show as a "good man", or at least as being a better person than his attitudes are. Jezby the entire anime gave no signs that he was someone bad, but in the plot twist a revelation happens that even though it is shocking, it doesn't cause the necessary effect to be something important. Glenda (or "Glen" as people usually talk) finding out the truth of this Arc failed to bring a good convenience to the show. And even if it makes logic that the granddaughter of the Village leader and her adoptive father have been infected, this narrative turn was rather anticlimactic and mechanical. It didn't give a favorable and interesting setting, much less manage to encompass and conclude the situation in a beneficial way.

Another thing that didn't please so much either was Fatina. She is still a mysterious character and seems to have ties to the future of the show, about the dragon apparently being the last mission of the story. These were parts that put together another compilation of unnecessary and boring episodes and really didn't hold any interest with me, even if the conclusion of the show was satisfying.

Ultimately 100-man ends this 24-episode set below RPG animes in general, but it did get a small improvement compared to the first season. There were some shameful parts (like the girls doing an "idol" moment early in the anime), but they also had some enjoyable scenes, especially when it came to Yotsuya. Who knew that at some point he could be a cool character to follow. It was an okay season, after all.

Not Recommended

After finishing the first season, I expected the second to see a tougher protagonist, more leader, but as characters were added, the protagonist lost value, what attracted me to his personality was lost. Being that they are not going anywhere. When you say that you can finally move forward as a group, a new annoying member appears. All of this makes it quite a slow and repetitive series. The animation is regular but the soundtrack passes, the plot is interesting but I don't care about the characters so I hope there won't be another season. If you think about seeing it, don't see it, it's ... a waste of time.

En español:
Después de terminar la primera temporada, esperaba que la segunda viéramos a un protagonista mas rudo, mas líder pero a medida que metían personajes el protagonista perdía valor, se perdía lo que me atraída de su personalidad. Siendo que no van a ningún lado. Cuando decís que por fin puede avanzar como grupo aparece un nuevo integrante molesto. Todo esto la vuelve una serie bastante lenta y repetitiva. La animación es regular pero pasa la banda sonora cumple, el argumento que tiene es interesante pero no me importan los personajes así que espero que no haya otra temporada. Si piensas en verla no la veas es una perdida de tiempo.
