The cheesy fun times continue!
And the CG effects finally improve to acceptable levels!
His seemingly infinite supply of magitech weapons and gadgets ramps up to more .insane levels as the series progresses; preparation seems to be his ultimate weapon
However, the team does face actual threats this time around and the rest of the cast saves his skin constantly; team effort is a thing.
This season is densly packed, quickly paced, otherwise more of the same, which was fine by me.

This season focused much more on the harem aspects of Arifureta than the first season did, unfortunately to its detriment. The MC doesn't really experience any more character growth, doesn't gain any new power or knowledge, just pulls out a bigger weapon he synthesized offscreen in the past. Where's the fun in that?
They should have put more time into the story instead of the fan service.

Honestly the 1st season got flaked too much for its CGI, yet I don't think they can list me any mid-low tier anime with much better production value.
This anime is very similar to 1st, but significantly more harem parts. Despite of that, it hasn't turned into something as bad as Infinite Stratos S2 and keep its original flavor. In fact, it touched a bit into the serious side of harem stuff in the middle.
Also if anything, this is a very strong "for fans" recommendation. The last few episodes is precisely what you want from this anime form the 1st episode. The author knows well what is its strong points.

Watchable, but the story isn't nearly as good as the first season though.
The side characters were oblivious to some of the most obvious things - to the point where I could barely maintain my 'suspension of disbelief'. There were a few episodes where I had to press pause and let out a frustrated sigh. The situations made the MC's accomplishments feel way less epic.
Near the end, I actually found myself rooting for
It didn't help this season dwelled too much on cliches and felt rushed at the wrong parts.
Made me want to re-watch S1 to get my good impression back.

What was decent about S1 were the adventures, leveling up and dungeons while still having some hints of harem & romance. S2 flips that and focuses on the harem/romance while the other anime attributes take a back seat which wasn't for me. The villains and their motivations were not interesting and the MC was a lot more unlikeable. In the end, I preferred the previous season.

A direct continuation of the previous season. Same style, art & Graphic (including 3D animation). However, the storyline in this season kinda feel like a let-down. Atleast that's how i feel when watching these series. While the previous season could make me hooked in my seat, these ones don't. The fight scene become less intense, characters development are not shown much. Hopefully the next season will be better, if there is any

Good. They're getting better. This is actually somewhat fit for human consumption. I would still not recommend it for fans of the novels.

The 1rst season was much better.
Even if you take in to account the lack of budget present in the 1rst season, this new season feels rushed, and more concentrated on boobs and stupid jokes...
it's definitely a big letdown for me...
there’s still the story development present in the season before, but... there’s no care for it in this season.
I was expecting a much more mature story line, but sadly everything here feels like...
“he’s NAGUMO...the hell with this ... he can just kill anyone in 2 seconds, and put some tits in the next frame because the 12 years old will buy this anime".
it’s sad...
Starting to feel like a “Kirito” ... I hope they fix this in the next season.
