Ahhhhhhhhhhhhh...........
How did I not see this coming, and why did I not steer clear..
Another eight episodes spent watching them travel around Japan, seeing places, eating food and making out, once again, unnecessarily.
This one is somehow worse than season 1, solely because of the fact that someone watched the first season and went, "You know what? What this needs is a sequel!"
It did not need a sequel.
To be fair though, I did learn about some interesting places in Japan through it, so I can't really say it didn't serve it's purpose, but creating a series for tourism sake is just not an appealing concept to me. If this were a direct tourism ad, I would definitely feel differently, but all the camouflage they attempted couldn't help detach the story from the tourism and I was just not a fan.
The story is pretty much the same thing as season 1, the twins and two other new guys come to Japan, they live with the guy who lived in Japan in season 1, they travel, they eat and then do some NSFW stuff. It's like watching the world's worst travel vlog, where even something interesting can be turned into something incredibly boring.
Once again, it is a repeat cycle of eat/drink/play/travel/make out, with the added bonus of weird love square. Pointless drama in a drama that was pointless, they've completely forgotten that another character existed in the prequel (he is mentioned zero), and you're just begging the for a 10x speed to exist so you can get through it.
I had an incredibly hard time concentrating, not for lack of trying, but it was just not good enough to keep my attention. The characters only purpose in the plot seem to be delivering long, drawn out explanations for tourist sites, or to do NSFW stuff - which again, has no real connection to the actual plot?
I don't know, it's an actual mess. It was supposed to be a follow up to the first season - at least one of the couples, but it turned into a bad tourism advert.
The cherry on top? Each episode is around an hour long, so you can't even finish it quickly.
To sum up:
WORST. VACATION. EVER.
