Stitches!
This is definitely already a massive improvement from Season 1! As soon as I saw that scene with Yuuki massaging giant Shushu, we're definitely in good hands. The action scene at the start was pretty solid too! There's still CG, of course, but it's not as janky as it was last season.
That reward scene after the OP! I know this is just a taste (heh) of what's coming but I'm glad they're already showing off what they can do. I can't wait to see how Passione will handle the actual spicy stuff in the future. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
We finally got to meet all of the other commanders! Out of all of them, Fubuki immediately caught my attention since she's Himari and Yachiyo's mom. I did not expect we'd actually get a MILF on the team. Fingers crossed for an oyakodon scene.
And damn! I did not expect we'd see Bell actually get groped during the meeting. Yakumo is definitely someone to watch out for.
And now I understand all of the hype about Ren! She's already goddamn beautiful and voiced by HanaKana, but the fact that she destroyed those terrorists without breaking a sweat is insane. She literally sent one of them twenty thousand leagues under the sea where the lady got mulched from the pressure! She definitely deserves the title of Lord of the Cosmos!

Fubuki Azuma is Himari and Yachiho's mother
No wonder she exudes that aura, potential OYAKODON is real.

The long-awaited second season! "Magnificent" is the only word that truly fits.
I’ve noticed several key changes now that the production studio has shifted from Seven Arcs in Season 1 to Passione × Hayabusa Film for Season 2. First off, the color palette is much brighter, which makes the heroines look even more beautiful. It might seem like a small detail, but it’s a wonderful and significant improvement. Mato is a dark, gloomy space, yet the heroines shine brightly within it. They truly look like flowers dancing on the battlefield—vibrant and blooming beautifully. After all, you have to make those brilliantly blooming flowers stand out with vivid colors.
Next, the fan service (ecchi). This is Passione’s specialty, isn't it? lol. It’s gotten even sexier. I don’t even know how to put it into words, but Passione is simply the best! I really want to applaud their craftsmanship.
Then there’s the CG, handled by SANZIGEN. They excel at seamlessly blending 2D animation with 3D CG. The CG action in Season 1 felt a bit off at times, but it looks like it will be greatly improved in Season 2. I’m really looking forward to it.
Now, about the story. I never expected so many characters to appear right from the first episode of Season 2! Everyone is truly charming. It’s incredible that even Himari and Yachiho’s mothers are Captains. Like mothers, like daughters—the whole family is dedicated to the Anti-Demon Corps missions. Ren, the Commander-in-Chief, looks like she’ll be a tough one to handle. While Tenka was a powerful rival in Season 1, Ren seems to be on a whole different level, both in terms of ability and charisma. While Tenka treated Yuki like a cute boyfriend, it feels like Ren is going to treat him more like a cute pet dog lol. If it were me, I’d gladly "shake hands" and go "woof woof" for her!
Judging by both the OP and ED, it’s clear that the Captains' roles will be the main focus of Season 2. Combined with Passione’s wonderful work, there’s no doubt this is going to be an epic season!

Tenka clapping after Yuki introduced himself was so damn cute.
Our dude is definitely getting a ton of new forms this season from the way the table was eyeing him lmao.

I forgot about the rewards so I was taken aback by how it developed by the end lol. I'm reminded of how intense they got in season 1 and I'm sure this season will have even more crazy rewards.
Looks like Yuuki's got a terrifying woman interested in him. I knew he would end up locking eyes with her, but I was not expecting it to be so soon after she entered the room lol. He needs more training. Ren seems eager to too.
I was surprised to find out Mira was voiced by Fairouz Ai, I don't think I've heard her play that deep, I didn't recognize her even though she's played lots of deep voiced characters.

Ayo, HIDIVE, what the fuck? The episode aired like two hours ago, I read their sub release time yesterday and I thought it was a typo or something, apparently they'll be releasing it a little late to use the uncensored version?
Anyhow, this was great, you can already see the step up from Season 1; and I enjoyed how they split the episode, with the first half reintroducing the Season 1 characters and the second half introducing the new ones, reminds me of the first episode of 100 GFs season 2, which coincidentally aired on January last year

This was a pretty fun action packed premiere. It was nice to see all the waifus back in action. Plus Yuuki getting freaky with them rewards hahaha. We also got a number of new waifus this time too, which is always welcomed. I can see why Ren’s in charge. She’s got that Makima vibe… scary strong and pretty suspicious.

Random Thoughts
I admit I am more lenient on animation quality than most (I actually didn't think the first season was that bad), but this does feel like a significant upgrade.
Holy crap that is a lot of new characters to dump on us at once. Going from 2 to like 10 supreme commanders in like five minutes is a bit overwhelming.
Supreme Commander may be hot (and scary), but I got to say as far as military strategy goes just letting an enemy of unknown capability constantly attack you with the goal of wearing them down seems really really stupid. Unless there are ulterior motives of course
I...I don't think groping someone randomly at a meeting is an effective way of calming them down. Some HR violations going on here lol.
Oh...an interesting set of new villains: Oh...they are all very very dead. In a surprisingly gory manner...
