The second anime series I finished last weekend was Arakawa Under the Bridge X Bridge. Like Season 1, this Season has very little plot and is mainly just gags, humor and randomness. Also, other than Real-life Kappa, we also get to see Real-life Hoshi in the first Ending theme sequence.Plot: (6/10) – FairKou (aka Recruit or Ric) continues to live under the bridge and this season shows how he gets along with the existing and new members living under a bridge.I personally live Season 2 more than Season 1 as it features more of the other side characters and introduces some new interesting characters.Characters: (9/10) – Very GoodSomehow I find the characters more lovable this Season. Last Season, my favorite characters were Sister, Hoshi and Recruit and they are still my favorite. After watching Season 2, my favorites list has grown a little longer.Other than Sister, Hoshi and Recruit, I also like:Billy aka Aniki - I love how he can say the cheesiest lines in a really cool way.Kappa and Last Samurai - They make a really good combination. I love how they react to each others' eccentricities.Art/Animation: (7/10) – Fairly GoodThe animation is typically SHAFT. I'm not a fan of SHAFT-style.Music: (7/10) – Fairly GoodThe Opening theme is similar to that of the first season. It's not actually my cup of tea. On the contrary, I quite like the Ending theme.Enjoyment: (9/10) – Very GoodI enjoy this season much better than the previous. I think Season 2 is sillier, funnier and more random. I have a good 'laughing' time watching it.Overall: (8/10) – GoodIf you are looking for a fun, no-brainer anime series, Arakawa Under the Bridge X Bridge is perfect for you!
