Very enjoyable to watch.

The second season of Aharen-san manages to stay as entertaining and funny as the first. What was my biggest concern was that the humor quickly became repetitive, but with the character development and the introduction of some new ones, Aharen-san becomes one of those anime that entertains you so much that it makes 24 minutes feel like 5.

Despite being a smaller production company and a not so famous director, this anime doesnt lack in of execution, everything in it is very well produced, well animated, uses very well the advantages of being an "anime" and visually exploring new things.

I highly ... recommend it.

Preliminary (8/12 eps)

Aharen-san wa Hakarenai Season 2 starts with familiar charm, but quickly spirals into a downward slope of awkward humor and recycled plotlines. While the first season had moments of quiet sweetness and oddball comedy that felt fresh, the second feels like a cringefest that doesn't know when to quit.

The jokes, once quirky and subtle, are now loud, unfunny, and painfully repetitive. Each episode tries to recreate the same dynamic without offering anything new—just variations of the same tired gags. The main duo’s chemistry feels forced, with punchlines falling flat far more often than they land.

Side characters, introduced to add variety, contribute little beyond filler. Their ... arcs are shallow, their interactions pointless. Instead of expanding the world, they clutter it.

There’s a sense that the writers are stretching every scene to fill time rather than developing meaningful content. What was once endearing is now exhausting, and by the midpoint of the season, it’s hard to care where the story goes next.
