The comedy is better here than the first season, not as spontaneous and forced. Recommended for all except people seeking romance in the anime because there is little.

Yep, this season was a bit too much. I mean it had some very good moments and made me laugh quite often, but there were some parts that were almost disturbing. Still, not bad and if you liked the 1st one then you won't hate this one either.

Clever and witty series with classic humor and very unique characters, but still maintains a down to earth feel. Definitely underrated if you enjoy more then slapstick comedy.

I liked the first season, but this one is way too much. Way too crazy and chaotic. Only for fans!

Stays true to it's original concept, the characters are more fleshed out and sympathetic. Despite the overall nonsensical nature of the series, there's an underlying strata of social commentary, and more specifically, tolerance.

They are not to be confused with an entirely different piece of clothing that covers the torso and crotch and which is also named bodysuit, but is an undergarment, not an outfit., kappaKappa are legendary creatures, a type of water sprite found in Japanese folklore.
