When I finished the 1st season and saw there was a 2nd, I had to know more of Hachiman, Yui, & Yukino. The 1st season had a lot of "thread of fate" of the three. The 2nd season is more of the "tearing down the walls" (or layers) of the protective feelings of Hachiman & "Ice Queen" Yukino. Some fans were turned off that the 2nd season was more of the feeling connections, but to me helped developed the 3 main characters more. (Plus, Hachiman's little sister got more involved.) Like the 1st season, this series is Japanese dialog only with English subtitles; you will be "reading" the anime instead of watching if your Japanese isn't as fluent. The artwork has changed a bit from the 1st season as it was taken over by another studio. Moreover, the opening song is sung by the same singer and the ending has 3 versions; normal, solo sung by Yui's Japanese VA, & solo sung by Yukino's Japanese VA. Both are touching in their own ways respectively. As for the season, the story is great, however, I hated how it ends. SPOILER: Episode 13 (OVA) ends on a cliffhanger with no news of season 3 in sight. I dislike how this leaves you hanging with more questions as Yukino is about to open up why she is isolated. Well, this season has memorable scene like Hiratsuka Shizuka's "baby" Aston Martin scene with Hachiman near the bridge/coast with her hint of the secret in life. On a final note, this set didn't even include the (10.5?) OVA of the Hachiman date with Isshiki Iroha. (Guess that is why the PS Vita limited edition game set sold out quickly.) Here is hoping that season 3 comes out soon.

My hopes for a third season is real. Considering the source material it could happen or not. But the 2nd season started and ended well. Music again is solid. The animation this time around is different from the first; that's not necessarily a bad thing. The first was more drawn similar to the manga. Overall I love this series. Add this to your list.

Great anime for anime fans must buy item for the fans
