I saw some comments that the second season (but according to the official description, it should be the second part of the first season) is not so interesting, and I also think that the second part is much smoother than the first part and not so radical. Maybe it will give people a sense of routine. But I like this season even more, because I like to see the changes that take place in the protagonist, or it's a kind of growth.
Compared with the bleak, unlearned princess in the first season, Bean's growth lies in her beginning to take on her own responsibilities, realizing that her biological mother, Da Goma, is the culprit who put the country of dreams into crisis. At that time, she resolutely broke with her mother, and then went to save the elf Elfo, and finally returned to her homeland with her friends, and together figured out a way to rescue the dream country in crisis. When the elves were infected with diseases and were in danger, she was also the one who stepped forward with Elfo and risked the danger to go to the troll territory to find berries. When the giant dragon spacecraft from Steam Nation appeared, she shot down the dragon with her courage and wisdom. In addition, she also tapped her talent for drama creation. Although she is still drunk and vulgar, there are more shining points on her body. She is not the princess who is useless, she seems to be the most sober and sensible person in this country.
The demon Luci no longer looks like a demon. Although it is still cunning and scheming, in order to save Elfo and Bean from hell, it dared to attack Satan, giving up the wings brought by the promotion of low-level demons and even its own immortality. Body, this is what it cares about most, and it has always been the ultimate goal of "doing all the bad things". But in the face of friendship, it gave up all this. It turns out that the devil can be influenced.
The timid (half) elf Elfo has also become a unique hero. In order to save the father, he went to the troll territory to find berries and put all the trolls down. He used to give people the impression that he was the kind of obscure rat who looked forward and backward, but now he has become a real hero. When he saw Derek staying alone by the beach, he was also happy to be his playmate, and together with Bean rescued Derek from the octopus's tentacles. Elfo is just like us, ordinary people, countless shortcomings, it is difficult to attract the attention and attention of others, but if you look closely, you can still see the shining shining points.
The plot of "A Lonely Heart is a Hunter" is really old-fashioned. Soge fell in love with the strange woman in bear skin who met in the enchanted forest. In order to prevent her from returning to the forest, Suo Geshen even hid her bear skin, but when she saw her standing on the balcony, looking sadly and lonely at the forest, Suo Ge still handed the bear skin to her. And watched her return to her real home. As a violent and greedy king, Sog could do whatever he wanted, but he finally made the right choice. He is not a great king, but sometimes it doesn't seem so bad.
Even Una had the courage to be herself, resolutely ended her horribly failed marriage, and pursued her long-awaited pirate career.
I really like the last scene of the last episode. Bean, Luci and Elfo are tied to a pile of wood and are about to be burned. Bean’s last words have this paragraph:
I was completely lost in the process of growing up. After meeting you, I was still lost, but at least we were lost together. It seems that we can't take the entire journey.
Yes. The world has not gotten better, but because of your existence, it hasn't gotten worse.
Adult animation can be funeral and anti-traditional, but these accompanying desserts give people a sense of beauty and hope to soothe the heart-scarred heart ravaged by this world. It is the dinner of adult animation. "Disillusionment" does a great job at this point, but it's a pity that only 10 episodes a year are really unpleasant to watch. Then we have to look forward to the second quarter of 2020.
