Rosario + Vampire: Capu2 [2 Discs] [DVD]

It's great to see all my favorite characters back in action, along with some new characters to take the screen.

After having this one sitting around in the original packaging for about two months, I finally got around to watching the 2nd season of Rosario + Vampire today. Unfortunately, I was quite disappointed. If you enjoyed the first season, you'll enjoy this one as well. They're pretty much identical with just a touch more drama at the end. Where to start? The opening theme is decent. If you watch any AMVs on Youtube, you're sure to have seen plenty of them featuring all of the girls from the series dancing. I actually really enjoyed the ending theme. Don't expect anything from the extras. You've got one trailer at the beginning of each disc and 8 trailers on the 2nd disc as well as a clean opening and ending song. From the ending of the first season, I was expecting a little bit more action to accompany the 2nd. There is a little bit of action but it's pretty much in the last episode alone. All the other fights end in 1-2 hits. Still the same annoying narrative when the rosary is removed from Moka. Tsukune might add one more girl to his "harem" if a 3rd season ever develops but I doubt one will with how this ended. This series definitely delivers in the fanservice department. My twin sat down and watched a few episodes with me and immediately noticed the panty shots every 5-10 seconds. It doesn't stop there, though. There are quite a few topless scenes in here as well. Nothing beats the "Boob missile" scene where Kurumu and Mizori's moms fight against each other. Loved the humor, too. Even if there were too many panty shots, there was always enough to keep me laughing to ease the pain...All in all, it's a decent series, but I don't see myself watching it again. Great for the lol factor and fanservice if over the top at times.
