The Western Restaurant Nekoya is adored by its local Japanese clientele. The eatery's continued success can be attributed to its tasty western and Japanese dishes, as well as its cheerful head chef, "Master" Tenshu. In Japan, the restaurant appears to be closed on Saturdays, but in actuality, it is the one day that Nekoya transcends to the Other World and opens its doors to guests seeking foreign cuisine. From castles to forests, the "Restaurant to Another World"—as its patrons call it—travels far and wide. Nekoya's diverse and bizarre clientele can expect to be greeted by one of two devoted waitresses—the courteous demon waitress Aletta, or the enigmatic and elven Kuro. As customers, both old and new, pile into the establishment with stories of their respective lands, Master and his staff ensure that everyone is in for a scrumptious adventure of a lifetime.

I'll be honest, this show symbolizes the start of my golden age which is in high school, sadly that was 4 years ago and this show is one of the only way to reminisce the very enjoyable past. Having a season 2 is a life saver during these pandemic as I perceive it as the second coming of good things ( IMO ). That's it, this show is very special to me thats why I will be a bit bias in rating it high with an overall of 9/10. Story 7/10: Same as Aquatope, instead of treating this anime with a fully straightforward plot, youcan treat it as one of those enjoyable morning shows in TV in which is not bad but not special either. Art 7/10- Art has been upgraded compared to the prequel, what I noticed was the smoothness of the animation quality in this season so i gave it 7/10 Sound 10/10- Ever got hungry because the sound effects and music? yeah this is it, I gave it 10/10 Character 10/10- I gave the character dev a 10/10 because it gave everyone the chance to be shown in the spotlight of the First 10 mins and the last 10 mins of the episode. Enjoyment 10/10- Stressed, Drained, No appetite? watch this to get your tummies growling for food and drained feeling washed away. 10/10 Overall 8/10- Solid series, has unlimited potential since the cuisine genre has astronomical ideas that can be made.

Is Isekai Shokudou 2 worth watching? If you’re a fan of the show’s prequel, you'll probably enjoy this show. Isekai Shokudou 2 can be watched without seeing the first season, but having watched its prequel gives more context about the things that are happening in this show. While it has an isekai element where customers are brought to another world, it’s a slice of life foremost. I definitely recommend watching both seasons, especially if you’re a fan of slice of life anime. Story Isekai Shokudou 2 follows an episodic formula just like the first season, with each episode introducing new characters and adding to the overall worldbuilding inthe show. It doesn’t have any complicated plot and can be enjoyed by everyone. It’s a show that’s faithful to its premise. If you enjoyed the worldbuilding and character introductions in the first season, you’ll enjoy this one too. Sound and Animation The sound, especially the soundtracks, really fits in well with the overall feel of the show. The opening and ending songs are lighthearted; perfect for a slice of life anime. The studio also did great in handling the sound of little things like when someone bites into their food, or when the Master prepares food. As for the animation, those who’ve watched the first season can tell that the art style changed in the second season due to the changing of the animation studio. While the first season is better in terms of lighting and background details, the second season did great in character interactions and food detail. Both seasons are great in their own ways. Final comments Overall, if you’re looking for a show to watch after a long day, then I definitely recommend this show. It’s a good slice of life anime that doesn’t have any complicated plot and that isn’t a bad thing. Just try eating first before watching an episode of this show.
When I first heard that this series was getting a season 2, I was really looking forward to watching it because it has been a good few years since I last seen it Like everyone else, I was more looking forward to the food that would be appearing throughout the whole show and of course, feel hungry as well as jealous to not have access to these types of foods because I do not live in Japan… Anyways it was nice seeing Aletta, Kuro and chef god himself, Tenshu again to cook up a storm. This season is my first time hearing the sub actors andhonestly they were so good with their roles! The whole series would relax you like there’s no serious fights in this or dark skeletons in the closet with each character who come into the restaurant. Heck even the music was nice like the opening and the closing songs were honestly so sweet, your ears will thank you I swear! Now I will say that the art was off at times and some characters were a bit too quick to jump into the marriage scene (not gonna tell who btw) and we didn’t really get a deep dive into that. I know the show focuses more on the food rather than each characters plot but still, I would’ve liked to get to know the characters more. Regardless I can’t wait for season 3 lads when it does come out!
I don't normally write reviews anymore, but this season is just so different than the first season. What happened? The nice at home atmosphere of the first season is still here and the animation quality is still excellent. But the quality of the stories in this season range from so-so to just ok. My main complaint with this season is they rush to get the character in the restaurant so they can showcase the food for that episode as soon as possible. Don't get me wrong. I like the foody theme from the first season. I found it very unique and hadn't seen an animelike that before. But what the first season had that this season lacks is any sort of trouble or conflict for the character before finding the restaurant. In the first season for example, you would have characters be starving and rushing to get home to warn their king, or the daughter of some well known treasure hunter reading the secrets he left behind. And then they'd just stumble upon the restaurant in their time of need. It made the other world restaurant feel unique and earned by the character. Also the stories like I described made the show interesting, and I still remember them. But I couldn't tell you any of the stories in season 2 because they treat going to the restaurant like some kind of attraction this time. You could be walking down the street and find it. Or maybe your brother's friend's uncle went there and so you want to as well. There is no conflict. There are no problems. I will say I like the episode where the witch takes the two children out to eat. That was cute. And the one with the guy coming to the lamia village was kinda interesting. Overall, this second season as a whole didn't stand out to me. There is an obvious emphasis on the look of the food and the characters' reactions to it. If that was something you liked but felt was lacking in the first season than you'll definitely like this season. But, if you liked learning about the characters and their conflicts too then this season may disappoint you.
Ok, so merry Christmas to everybody, let's hope that this new Omicron Varian ends and we get back to our usual things....But , enough of that, so this 2021 fall anime has already ended about a week ago, so what gives about this anime???? Here's the juice: Story-Good 7: It was good but not that good given that even though new characters were added and the food associated as to what they order, may have added some foodgasam, but generally speaking not much has change except the marriage of Sharif and Adelhied at the end, but still it hasn't made any difference in any way...... Art-Fair 6:Given that studio OLM didn't rely on fanservices to sell this anime, nothing much has change as to the characters and food illustration. Sound-Fair 6: Nothing to say for this category, but I still like Aletta's voice by Uesaka, Sumire. Characters-Mediocre 5: Given that the main characters here were Master, Aletta and Kuro, nothing has change much , given the the customers of Nekoya were merely just satisfied customers...so yes, nothing much to say. And just like in any anime that has a foodgasam genre in it, it was the food that were the stars of such anime. Enjoyment-Good 7: I'll make it short, it was simply the food porn that makes this anime mouth watering..... Overall-Good 7: It was good, but not good enough for this to have a season 3.....Cu'z that's just pushing it when we the audience can only watch and not taste it.
