What I Liked: The soundtrack is bright and lively, albeit much more dated than the first season's. The character designs are just as great as the first season's. Animation is more dynamic and a little more polished, with more comic-style sight gags. Junpei gaining a catchphrase this time around. The opening and closing themes are almost instant earworms. The fact that the dynamic between the leading ladies changes (albeit briefly).What I Didn't: The fact that there's a whole episode devoted to potty jokes (literally). Junpei gaining a catchphrase this time around. The last episode is a bit of a dud and ends on a similar note to the first season.Final Verdict: While it doesn't bring anything new to the comedy-fantasy genre, nor adds onto the first season beyond adding a few extra adventures, Those Who Hunt Elves II is still a fun watch. The animation has been improved somewhat, and it's just as silly (perhaps even more so) this time around. Shame it suffers from the same issue as the first season did in regards to endings...

Wow… this is, um, different. It feels that they sort of ripped off Slayers and Lost Universe with the different dimensions that the characters cross over. Hoe a high school girl gets her hands on a tank, not to mention all the guns and ammo she has, I will never know. Not to mention, she actually knows how to use them well. Jumpei is really freaken stupid and does tick me off. I have heard of stupid macho men but he is the worst I have really ever seen. And Airi is so high and mighty about being a actress, though she does have a kind side, it just a little off. And yet… it feels like it all works. Even when the tank itself becomes a character, it works pretty well. Unfortunately, the ending of season one just feels like a cop out so they can do season 2 and really give a whole lot. The artwork is lacking a lot. Characters look blocky, animation loops, and a lot of it doesn’t have a lot of textures. Characters also seem to thin. I feel that the animation is some of the weakest that I have seen in a while. It’s sad because I think that it just needs a bit more love in the drawing. It really looks bad, seriously. The music is a bit strange for the opening, and doesn’t sound right for the comedy in the show. I love the dub since it adds more comedy in it though it goes off from the original script sometimes. The voices though don’t sound very good. They seem more like Bible Black.
