Gannibal Season 2 (2025)

A Mad World Unfolds..

Season 2 picks up right where Season 1 left off.. Season 1 was intense, but this season has way more action, blood and honestly some disgusting scenes.. And yeah we finally got the answers to the questions that we were left with.. We get to see the full dose of the Goto’s brutal madness this time and also the family’s twisted past.. Which explains why they are so messed up.. The action scenes were truly next level and Yuya Yagira shines once again.. There is a scene in ep 2 where he has a moment of realisation and goes completely berserk, that was incredible to watch..

" If they are crazy.. Then I will just have to go crazy too.. "

This season is definitely not for the faint hearted.. I expected gore, but some of it was straight up sickening.. But I loved the fact they didn't try to hold back.. They were fully committed to the madness and it worked..

Special shoutout to Tsunematsu Yuri.. Her potrayal of the younger version of Goto Gin was purely cynical.. She was gaslighting, manipulating and using herself as a trophy to get her revenge.. And she was magnificient in every episode she appeared in.. Limited screentime or not, she made the drama twice as compelling with her performance..

" I am madness itself.. Born from this village.. "

When it comes to the visuals, they were violently beautiful.. Some of the frames looked insane.. And the Music matched the vibe too..

It’s a shame that a drama like this doesn’t get the attention it truly deserves.. I really hope it reaches a wider audience because it’s one that deserves to be seen by more people..

Overall, this season takes everything to the next level.. With wild action, powerful performances and a raw intensity.. It has very dark and disturbing elements with bold scenes that only make it more intriguing to watch..

Gannibal S2: Absolute Cinema - Chilling, Brutal and Unforgettable.

This was absolute cinema, straight up fire from start to finish. One of the best gore crime thrillers i have ever watched. From presentation to execution to direction, everything was top notch. I have seen many gore thrillers but this one was incredibly rich in storytelling, lore and impact right up there with one of my favorite zombie dramas Kingdom.

It kept you on your toes the entire time and often left you with a complex, chilling experience.

More than the protagonists, this was truly the story of the antagonists. At one point, you start forgetting who the victims were and who the perpetrators were. The primary antagonist, Gin Goto, is one of the most fascinating characters i have ever seen in a thriller. She was raped by the entire village, including her own family (the original Gotos) and was left to burn alive during a festival as a sacrifice to the gods. Later she encountered a group of cannibals, gave birth to a boy and returned to the village with this group. She annihilated the entire Goto family, established a new Goto bloodline and became its head.

Her only son somehow transformed into a zombie like creature, enormously large, undefeatable and dependent on human flesh. The Goto family began worshipping him and started sacrificing human children to satisfy his hunger. This is the core plot of the series. However in the end, the families of the victims also massacre the Goto clan in the most brutal ways, blurring the line between victims and perpetrators even further.

There were plenty of goosebumps worthy moments. One of my favorites was the episode that narrated Gin Goto’s story through flashbacks. In the final episode, after she is killed by the villagers, her son eats her flesh, realizes it mid act, starts crying and then continues eating her. Later, while fighting his own son, he suddenly begins to eat himself and ultimately ends his own life in the most horrifying way.

The only downside was that the protagonist made a few foolish decisions here and there, which could be frustrating. But the show was so powerfully carried by the villains and the second male lead that it hardly mattered.

This show was creepy, eerie, chilling, and absolutely terrific. This was real terror, true horror.
Absolute cinema. A masterpiece.
