Edens Zero Season 2

Eden Zero is arguably the most underrated anime of the decade. It is a work of art that has all the hallmarks of a classic. First, it has an intriguing and captivating story. Second, Eden Zero boasts top-notch storytelling. I can't recall a single episode that felt filler or unnecessary; the author didn't waste time with empty fluff. Third, all of the characters are well-developed. There are no clichés here, only great stories and development. The defining feature of Eden Zero is that every episode has something interesting, intriguing, and exciting to offer. Additionally, the show masterfully manipulates the audience's emotions. In each chapter, you'll feel the tensionof the antagonist's immense power, the intrigue of unexpected events, and the anticipation of what's to come. I highly recommend this exceptional adventure that will make your summer unforgettable.

Edens Zero is back for its second hurrah, and it's more of the same Hiro Mashima goodness that was Season 1 back in both Spring and Summer 2021. But sadly, director Yuuji Suzuki passed away before Season 1 ended, and re-living the fright to hear this news just as the season wrapped up 2 years ago, it was (and still is) heartbreaking to hear because Edens Zero was his first and only full series where he got the reins to direct a show of his very own and invest heavily in the anime adaptation. R.I.P Yuuji Suzuki, you had a good start as a promisingdirector, but life had decided to cut you short of your potential to be a rising star. The cosmos greaves in your coveted name. With all of the condolences out of the way, heading right into Season 2, we continue the adaptation of Volumes 9 to 16 of the manga, compromising from the ending of the Sakura Cosmos Saga with the Belial Gore and Edens One arcs, to the near end of the Aoi Cosmos Saga with the Red Cave, Foresta and Sandra arcs just right before the notable big war that is the long-winded Nero 66 arc. That will be the Prelude to the Aoi Cosmos' war (which will be the main focus if the producers decide to continue with Season 3). Obviously, new revelations come as they go, and Shiki and Co. face new friends and enemies on top of the same challenges that led them in this space-continent journey, which has not seen an end to itself. Just about the new things that are put into focus, from the resurrection of the Demon King Ziggy's true devilish intentions from raising Shiki as his very own, to the eventual end of the big bad evil from the height that was built since the 2nd half of Season 1: the man of destruction himself, Drakken Joe. Also, Shiki's pursuit to find Mother's remnants is just as strong as the heart's objectives would allow, and with frenemies like Drakken Joe's elite force of the Element 4 (each contributing to the stability of the Dark Alchemist himself) and returning characters like Skull Fairy's Space Pirate Elsie Crimson, the battle of the Aoi Cosmos slowly creep in, enlarging the playing field amongst a lot of the players involved, as Shiki and Co. realise that they're not on their own this time with Edens Zero and (eventually) the Element 4 on their side fighting for the peace of the Cosmos, which rages the fight between humanity and robots. Without the promising Yuuji Suzuki, director Toshinori Watanabe was called upon to continue the former's good work, and although he has quite the resume to his name, he kept the format largely intact as how the late director would've wanted it to be: good pacing and action-oriented settings, with Hiro Mashima's progressive character development making up the lack of attention that Season 1 got 2 years ago. To be fair, the sequel had noticeable improvements over the prequel, though that difference I wasn't able to notice since it retained the same intriguing elements from 2 years prior that kept my attention glued to the small screen, so that's an OK thing. Along with J.C.Staff's continuous good work under Toshinori Watanabe with decent to good production values, the OST was sadly one area that felt kind of average. Takanori Nishikawa's OP song for the 1st half may not have the same pumping-action feel as Season 1, but for a TNNK song, it's still as good as it can be. Lozareena's 2nd half ED is just a nice, calm and mellow song, and it's a good reliever of a song from all of the action. But the others, like ASCA's 1st half ED and Tani Yuuki's 2nd half OP, forgettable at best. Edens Zero is still Hiro Mashima's pinnacle, and my overall thoughts have not changed since Season 1. But the one thing that I do know is that the Battle of the Cosmos is not over, and it'll bring everyone together for one colossal fight that'll determine if good or evil wins, deciding the fate of the Cosmos. I'm pumped for more, so that should go without saying.

---Wow!! This kinda reminds me of Star wars--- I will tell it the way it is. This was awesome. I had very low expectations for Eden Zero and in the end, this was great. Season one was a setup to introduce the characters. The 2nd season was full of action and the story is very interesting. The arcs in season 2 were very chaotic and almost made you feel many different emotions. I say it feels like star wars because they have different characters who are group into different factions or organizations. Shiki and the main crew is Eden Zero, and you have the intergalactic unionarmy, Oración Seis Galactica. Poseidon of Nero. Its cool to see new characters and this anime delivers with very cool characters. You have awesome locations and planets they visit. With really cool battles. The story is great and constantly keeps changing as it progresses. Their main goal is to reach Mother, who is a very powerful entity that will grant any wish. They get pulled into different situations that forces them to put their main mission to the side to help another cause. I recommend giving this a watch. You can come out feeling happy that you did!! 9/10

The Universe Only Anime Can Save. Fairy Tail in Space continues its space odyssey adventure. Unfortunately for Shiki and his crew, they’re in for a rather nasty life lesson. The power of friendship can’t save them all the time, especially from the end of the barrel of a gun. Edens Zero’s second season enters a rather dark series of arcs which I have to admit is rather refreshing to see considering this was written by the same mangaka who wrote Fairy Tail. With battles against a seemingly unstoppable crime syndicate followed by the first half of an upcoming battle involving the space government and afascist-against-robots imperial regime. I won’t spoil certain moments, but you already know if this is your thing if you’re a follower of Hiro Mashima’s work or if you’re into your Shonen Jump “power of friendship” adventure stories like One Piece. More over-the-top good humour, more ecchi, and more wacky powers that characters use to punch, kick or shoot harder which are sometimes reinforced with, you guessed it, the power of friendship. J.C.Staff has been on a roll this year with the high quality of their anime adaptations (barring any I haven’t watched), but Eden Zero is a reminder that J.C.Staff is the McDonald’s of anime studios. Sometimes the animation is crisp and energetic helped by the simplicity of the strong character designs, and sometimes the animation is just a bit… meh. Like a Big Mac, it looks good, but when you bite into it you kinda wish you’d gone to a Five Guys. Still, it’s Edens Zero, and Edens Zero is basically Fairy Tail in Space, and Fairy Tail is fun so y’know, it’s a fun show. It’s like a high-end McDonalds. You know what you’re getting. 7/10 Good.
