Synopsis

The deadly confrontation with the Devil King, Oda Nobunaga is over, but the struggle for supremacy continues in Warring Countries-era Japan, as the armies of Takeda Shingen and Uesugi Kenshin repeatedly engage battle at Kawanakajima. Meanwhile, on the easternmost side of the battlefield, two outstanding characters bound by destiny—one clad in azure and the other in crimson—are about to clash in a long-awaited, decisive duel. Then a sudden dispatch informs that a huge army has surrounded the forces of Takeda, Uesugi and Date at Kakanakajima. Their leader is Toyotomi Hideyoshi, the man who inherited Nobunaga's dreams and ambitions, and who is now going to bring havoc over Japan once again! (Source: Production I.G)

Woohoo! The continuation of Sengoku Basara and I couldn't be more pleased... Everything is a 9... duh!? It's like watching Gintama + Bleach with all the familiar voices around... The battle for peace is never easy and these guys have it bad... friends vs friends... family vs family... and like the 1st series, this one is all action from beginning to end... and of course a little conversation, here and there... I'd say that the fight scenes here are better, the story more focused and the characters can really stand out on their own... leaders from the first series took a backseat this time so that meansmore characters! it's great, yeah sure! but I haven't really digested all the names and places yet and here are more names to memorize... geez! well, not complaining... Their previous enemy was a Devil now it's an Ape (or is it a Gorilla?)... anyway, at least I can say that this one's more worthy than Oda Nobunaga since he just doesn't fight in the end... the main characters are pretty much the same: Masamune is still arrogant but charming, Yukimura is still an idealistic brat, Kojuro is still the ever loyal right eye... sadly, Sasuke got less screentime... Musashi (a new character) now provides the comic relief... I think they focused more on Ichigo, i mean Keiji, this time around... but we won't really see him fight... he actually provides all the talking and the drama... There are also a couple of surprises here like a ghostly apparition (?) and some people who we thought are dead but seemingly are not... nani?! Music is still darn catchy to me... and this time we get 2 ED songs... I personally like the first one better... For those who enjoyed Sengoku Basara, I would definitely recommend SB Two... it's a fast-paced, action-packed, testosterone filled ride... :) On a side note and it kinda went something like: "once he swings that hot spear, i just cannot keep my cool" or "i would like to see how he holds those spears"... was this intentional or does the subs need improvement? am i missing something?!? I know that this anime has hot guys in it but if this continues then maybe it's a sign that it's time to throw in some women! But not like Kasuga or Ichi, for goodness sake! Maybe more like Matsu... This is Samurai Kings not Queens, right?! darn it! * Sorry I just couldn't help it * :S

FIRST OF ALL MUST SEE SENGOKU BASARA !! Before watching this season!! I saw the first season which was really awesome!! But this seasons comes up with more territory war against one another again. Ones to expect: 1. New characters 2. Return of some chracters 3. More fights that are a must see!! 4. One recovering tiger cub throughout the season ( finding himself to face Date once again) 5.Date's english gives you great expectations!!( if your seeing sub)6.More action based on Date Masamune, even team work with someone who is similar to him. Story 10/10: Back to where they left off...Tiger of kai Sanada vs Date.... Later on Date's right eye is captured....by a certain someone from another clan...and the defeating of that clan from ruling Japan. Art 10/10 Great work on the armor, swords , battle ship ,flying and not making it look 3D that it kills your interest sometimes.great scenery that doesn't make it so cheesy in some scenes!! Character and enjoyment :10/10 For Date Masamune never stops being so awesome and never get tired of him by far best character in the series!!Many new characters that you get to see 2 of which you see all late about it. Enjoyment is high with Date Masamune's part of the story,looking for his right eye man Katakura. Fights to see and admire all characters gave good fights no matter who wins or loses except Masamune ( you want him to win) By far I enjoyed this series even though I started to see the movie first then this wished I saw the season 1 and 2. ( well that's me ) that's why. I warned to see the first and second season first.I enjoyed the 2nd season most because it was mostly based on Date Masamune and he himself finished Hideyoshi by his own epicness!!
