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..

I completely love the direction this drama went in. It's one of the best horror dramas I've seen in a while and the suspense is high.

The acting is so well done by everyone. It's so easy to love certain characters and so, so easy to hate others (iykyk). Yet there's so much nuance in (most of) the characters. I do find that Kano Sumire's character lacks the same depth the other important characters have. Even for the most evil characters, we see their backstory and an insight into how they grew up. And then there's just Sumire, letting other people have control over her by choice.

I really liked what one of the girl's in the family said in ep 5: "how come it's always women who are the victims in these stories? Sacrificed by the disguising men". And it was a recurring theme in both seasons - the women who always have to be the one to make the sacrifices.

I'm also totally on a Yagira Yuya kick and I can't wait to see his next few acting projects!!
