Don't Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro, Second Season review

 Don't Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro, Second Season Discussion


 Don't Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro, Second Season Episode 1


The infamous online bully is back for another season of provoking her audience! If you enjoyed the first season, you'll likely enjoy this sequel, as it picks up where the last season left off, continuing the familiar theme of Nagatoro teasing her shy upperclassmen in a problematic courting game. If you weren't a fan of the first season, this might be a good opportunity to give it another chance.

However, the formula for Nagatoro's bullying has not changed significantly. The only real difference is in the visuals, which unfortunately are a step down from the previous season. While the animation is not terrible, it lacks the smoothness and expressiveness that made the first season's humor so compelling. Instead, the adaptation of the manga's jokes is more conservative, focusing on recreating specific panels without the transitional elements that made the first season's humor so engaging. The humor is still effective, thanks to the voice actors' skill, but the changes are noteworthy.

For those who are new to the show, there is a subtle shift in the dynamic between Senpai and Nagatoro that began in the latter half of the previous season. This softening may appeal to viewers who were previously put off by the show's initial mean-spirited humor. The humor is straightforward enough that you don't need to watch previous episodes to understand it. After a break, it's enjoyable to see these characters interacting once more. It may not be everyone's cup of tea, but I'm happy to see Nagatoro's return.
