Have you ever been really into an anime, then they come out with a filler episode? It's kinda dissapointing at first, but then they get back to the storyline. That was almost my experience with Orphen: Revenge. I really enjoyed the first series, but then I started watching Revenge, expecting it to be at least as good and I was extremely dissapointed. There are 11 episodes of filler before the storyline even begins to develop. Seriously, just skip the first 11 episodes and this will be a better anime. Unless you're into just watching Cleao go on multiple shopping sprees without any kind of storyline, you should just skip this series altogether. I have never been so dissapointed with an anime in all of my life. The animation itself wasn't bad; it was more or less the same as the first series. However, they were really cheap with the animation and tried to reuse as many frames as possible. There's too many moments of watching the same frame with voiceovers and also watching the same sequence of frames over and over again. Furthermore, anytime Orphen uses any kind of magic, they use the same filler images over and over again to try to fill screen time. So dissapointing. Character development was almost non-existant. If you hadn't watched the first series, then there was absolutely no reason for you to enjoy the characters in this one. Overall, just don't even bother. Pretend this series never existed. Just be happy with the first series that wasn't bad and never watch this one.

I have to say this was a horrible second season and extremley boring one at that. Only reason I finished watching it was so I could get it over with. I loved the first season and thought it was really good for an older anime. I feelt season 1 had more comedy in it and a great plot and well develop characters, while season 2 was just lacking in every way. The characters pretty much did the same thing over and over. There was no real plot to this at all, the little plot there was was so tiny and boring that it didn't make it worth watching. This was almost torture to watch, that's just how bad it was. Why they destroyed the magic animation as well I really can't figure out, the old magic animation reminded me of the old HunterXHunter series and was actually really good, this new one reminded me of a map of a sewer system with a bunch of pipes and rainbows and cheese rings. All in all this was really not worth watching, also it was the biggest disappointment as far as 2 season's go I can remember ever having to suffer through.
