夜桜さんちの大作戦 第2期

I always love whenever Momo shows up. The dude is so goddamn creepy, especially whenever we get close-ups of his face. Also, we finally learn that Momo got turned into Tsubomi's genetic clone because of her blood. Basically, every time Momo used his Blooming, he became more and more Tsuomi's copy. Which makes what Taiyo did pretty ballsy since Tsubomi could've consumed him when he absorbed Kawashita, but I suppose the risk is worth it for our boy if it means protecting the family.

I love how the Spy Association treats visiting important prisoners...like you're just visiting a typical clerical office. Well, time for Taiyo to see his nemesis, Kawashita. But at least his family is by his side to support him through this. Tsubomi was a cursed existence, slowly losing what remained of her memories...her humanity...her feelings...all the while Kawashita was trying to find a way to give her the death she so longed for. Even if in the process of experimenting with her blood he basically gave him a death sentence and caused her body to lash out, leaving him falling apart in the present day and Tsubomi into a naked tree woman. The key to discovering the means of truly bringing an end to Tsubomi? The Profuse Blooming of 10,000 flowers. But to achieve that, Taiyo will need help from Kawashita. Too bad Momo Yozakura, his father-in-law, is here to keep that from happening and to check in on his kids. Who are also all TOO happy to face him themselves. Poor Mutsumi. Imagine finally having your father back...only to learn he's the reason you and your mother were lost and you were experimented on. Is it any wonder the other siblings feel their father truly died then and what's before them is just a monster they need to put to rest? In fact he might genuinely not be human at all, especially if he was some kind of Tsubomi clone. I mean, what!? But whatever he is, he IS still the man who raised the Yozakura siblings, and as such he knows how they fight and he can basically repel every attack they throw at him. He's the toughest threat they've ever faced collectively at this point, both physically and emotionally. Even Kyoichiro just can't bear to keep this battle keep going. Imagine having to fuse with the man who murdered your bio family to help protect the family you married into. Though I guess family was important to Kawashita, at least in the sense that he was always searching for his own warped view of it in his obsessive love for Tsubomi. He wanted that Yozakura Dream for himself. He's not someone anyone should mourn, but Tsubomi will mourn him as she serenades his passing and fusion with Taiyo.

I was someone that wasn’t necessarily a fan of the first season early on, but it won me over later on as it started expanding on things. It went from being nice shounen that did a great job of showing actual chemistry btwn the lead pair, to being a shounen that also has some depth to it. A solid anime that deserves to be more popular imo. When so many complain about shounen anime not taking the romantic pairing of the MC that seriously, here we have a show that makes it a fundamental aspect of the story and they give it the focus it deserves, but it’s being underwatched. Hope things change cause I’m enjoying Yozakura Family and I’d like to see a full adaptation of this

Momo acting all lovingly with his children was so unsettling lol. Hopefully their next encounter they'll all be able to do a lot more to him.  Kyouichirou seeing Mutsumi and his mother's dead body might actually explain even more why he got so much more overprotective of Mutsumi, that reveal took me by surprise.  Taiyou accepting the idea of absorbing Kawashita was cool, I like how he had no issue working with him, even with their history, if it'll help his family.
