![]() With a shift to Tohoku and then Kyoto came a shift to youkai Rikuo, with Kana’s continuing role in the story due to her connections with the Keikain onmyouji clan in Kyoto. Not only were Rikuo’s classmates mostly absent, but his human form – probably 80% of the screen time in the first season – was mostly absent as well. Sennen Makyou, by contrast, was effectively a shounen battle series. ![]() Nishimura seemed to slant the story quite a bit in the school-life direction, focusing especially heavily on the Kiyo Cross squad and Kana. Some of that is straight from the manga, no doubt, but a lot of it probably comes from the director shift from Nishimura Junji to Fukuda Michio. Frankly, the tone of the series was so different as to be almost recognizable at times. This season was a definite improvement over the first one, with much brisker pacing and a more compelling overall storyline. So I’ll proceed as if the series ended at episode 24 and treat this as a series review post. Yes, recap episodes suck and this was a totally anti-climactic climax, with no new footage of any consequence.
