Considerations
This is a spoilerfree review.
70+ in my rating means average.
Ive added one of the anime soundtracks ED to the sound section. If you wish scroll down start it and use it as your background music while you read.
Since this is the second season Im not going to touch on the whole setting as you should have watched the first season. If you havent I do have a spoilerfree review which you can find herehttps://anilist.co/review/20529.
Story
The story in the second season didnt have a lot of growth in terms of scaling. The main formula still remains exactly like season 1: Problem arises Familiars kill problem Everyone eats the problem. Is it bad? Not necessarily. While its the same as before its Iyashikei this is supposed to be a chill anime that you watch after a long day just to destress and get hungry.
In terms of story and my personal expectations I feel like the anime wouldve been better if they had a big challenge. Not to try to mimic a fight anime but just to add some reward and tension rather than Fel killed with 2 hits. It would be cool if they fought something really difficult and that they could really rejoice with the food similar to what Dungeon Meshi did sometimes. I feel like the extreme power play became a negative in this anime.
Art
The art is good. One point that I totally forgot to mention in season one but is clear as day here is that most of the animation regards hands pot stirring etc. Theyve used some good mix of CGI and actual drawing and it makes it very fluid. Food still looks delicious and still made me hungry at several points. Overall I dont have any complaints about the art style of the anime especially considering that is an Iyashikeilike anime.

Characters
There are still a small number of characters in this season with one or two major additions. Thats pretty much it. Still deep character relationship isnt the focus of this anime so it doesnt make it a problem.

As I always like to talk about the main character Mukouda remained a good main character. He is true to his style and just a buildup from the first season just trying to survive all the crazy adventures that Fel come up for him.
Soundtrack
Soundwise the anime is also good. Voice actors do their job pretty well regarding the OST OP and ED. I especially liked the ED since it had a more chill beat. Overall I dont have complaints towards the sound section of the anime.

Conclusion
If youre like me you skip everything and read only the conclusion because you dont want to get spoiled with other themes. So I will try to be brief on this point:
Watch it. If you watched the first season and liked it this is a natural buildup its literally more of the same. While I cant give a higher score than season 1 that happens because I dont feel like things progressed much in terms of story. So if you choose to watch go for the vibes rather than expecting anything big in the story. Overall it was a pretty relaxing anime and Id watch another season if MAPPA decides its worthwhile.
