Might've enjoyed it more than the first season, I didn't feel particularly bothered about the cliffhanger at the end since Im very used to shows continuing in their source material by now.
Haihane had a greater stage presence in this season and we even get to see her nude which made me happy.
Homura/Akari was also a lot more involved which, although I felt some jealousy also made me happy.

* Based on the seinen manga by Young Gangan.
In Tokyo in the year 2020, Musubi, who literally falls from the sky.
Minato soon learns that she is one of the Sekirei and he is her Ashikabi, a human with special genes make it possible to form a contract with Sekirei. This binds the Sekirei to him and allows them to use their full power in the Sekirei Plan, a dangerous and deadly competition organised by Minaka Hiroto, chairman and founder of the mysterious and powerful MBI Corporation. Minato finds out that being the partner of a beautiful girl is not all fun and games, especially when it turns out that an Ashikabi can have more than one Sekirei partner — and that is where the real trouble starts.
Note: The first episode received an early airing on June 13, 2010 on Tokyo MX. Another early preview airing was held on June 19 in Ikebukuro Theatre Daiya during a promotional event with tickets sold in advance.

I enjoyed the second season of Sekirei, a combination of the "girls fighting" and harem genres, but compared to the first season, this one is pretty unsatisfying. Another ride with the endearing characters from the first season was fun, but this second season ends in a much less satisfying place than the first, and 11 years later we're still waiting for a conclusion that I don't think will ever come in anime form. In general the animation quality is lesser than the first season and the fights are less interesting. If you were a fan of the first season this is worth a watch, but if you hate stories with no conclusion you should steer clear. For those who just want to spend more time with the series' fun, well drawn characters - or those who really like copious bare breasts in their non-18+ anime - will probably enjoy it either way, so if either of these describe you, go for it!

Mostly the same as season 1, but with a more enjoyable plot, however it ends with a cliff-hanger, so logic suggests there will be a 3rd season in time.

Slightly better than the first season. Almost same amount of fanservice but this one contains more (serious) action, better development of characters and their bonds as well as of the story itself that answers some unanswered questions from the prequel. The show feels more heartwarming and it tries to have some touching moments and also its comedy part is slightly better. The main drawback (for me) is the ending that is once again left open. And the third season is really needed if you long for proper ending (and I do). Although this isn't exactly my cup of tea I enjoyed each episode.

Bit better than the 1st season, I enjoyed it. The ending's a cliffhanger though. :/

Better than the first one. I'd say similar amount of fanservice but you get to see more of the story itself. If you liked the first then it's only fair to watch the second one so do it!

The Second season for me was kinda better than the first season because it explained a lot of unanswered questions...but the only thing i didn't like is the ending it leaves u with a Continuation plot ending...Overall This for me 9.5/10

Season Two of Sekirei , also known as ~Pure Engagement, is the supposed "Stage Two" action-filled season. When hearing that, I had higher hopes for Sekirei, because last season wasn't very good, but I was very wrong. Now, before diving into this review, have you watched the first season of Sekirei, and did you enjoy it? Do you like ecchi anime? How about harem? How about plain characters and hardly any (or very short) action scenes? [/i]
Art and Animation[/b]
Sekirei has very pleasing art. It has a soft feeling to it, and I think the animators tried very hard on this point of the anime. However, the character designs are plain with over-the-top clothing. The main character, Minato, has a very girlish feel and look to him. The animation was very fluid, not choppy, and the fight scenes were not still images. It's not the best animation, but the art is very pleasing to the eye, though I wouldn't recommend watching this during the night, as it hurts your eyes due to it being bright and colorful (Haha).
Sound
The soundtrack isn't very memorable in Sekirei. I don't particularly recall any OST's, although there is one played in the final episodes that sounds like its been used in another show before. Opening song is decent, not particularly amazing, and the Ending song isn't very pleasing.
Story[/b]
Sekirei is about a young man by the name of Sahashi Minato who gets caught up in a so called sick game of fighting between Sekirei who have masters called Ashikabi. During this season, he now obtains six sekirei. Now, the story is nothing special, nor is it original. We have all heard of masters and fighters fighting in battles against other masters/fighters. The execution of the plot isn't done well either. The so called Stage Two is supposed to take place in Pure Engagement, but if you notice, it only takes place during the 2-3 final episodes, when in the ending, the so called Stage Three has started, even though it was supposed to be #2. The story is very random, what it seems to do it mainly focus on the exposure of breasts or unnecessary panty shots. The story, in my opinion, reaches its true climax during the Last Feather Arc, which is about 4-6 episodes in. There is nothing exciting, shocking, or good about the story really. It supposedly teaches about love, but I don't see it.
Character
Gokurakuin Sakurako, the mangaka; This, my friend, is where your story took a turn for the worse. The characters are down right plain, their outfits outrageous, and personalities get in the way of the story. Minato is your average guy who gets caught up in a so called game, and it just happens the game is mostly filled with females with bopping boobs. All the females have outrageously big breasts, except Kusano. Most of their clothing is very revealing or gets torn easily, exposing their bodies. Only a few Sekirei are male, which include Shiina, Mutsu, and Homura, if I am correct, and those Sekirei, by far, are the most interesting Sekirei, due to them being male.
. By far, my most favorite Ashikabi is Kaoru Seo, who looks like a manlier, more muscular version of Minato, and I think he should have been the main character instead. All in all, this is the weakest point in the whole two seasons.
Value and Enjoyment
Due to it not being original, it's value isn't particularly high. Overall, I didn't really enjoy Sekirei, the ending was a joke, and the execution of the story was done terribly.

well two of them are, one is an undecided gender with breasts but acts like a man.

Overview
The big busty fighting harem is at it again in season two of sekirei... I.e. fighting for love from your master!
Before you read this review or decide to watch this series think about a few things:
1. Did you watch season 1?
2. Did you actually enjoy it?
3. If you DID enjoy it you probably don't want to read this review and just go watch the anime yourself.
Alright so S2 continues from exactly where they ended off, that is Minato and friends helping the couple escape from the city. Their group has now become rather famous and are called the "North" faction. The good times however don't last long as Minaka "the president" is ready to stir things up again. This season continues to introduce many new Sekirei and Ashikabi while having much of the same old harem filled, clothing stripping fighting you've expected from this anime.
I think this is definitely a mindless fanservice anime for the masses. The quality is pretty low and depth is even worse. If you seriously think this anime is grade A quality, then I don't think I'll ever be able to share an opinion about anime with you.
Ratings
Animation
Its fairly mediocre, I mean S1 wasn't very good to begin with so this didn't really improve on anything. You get basically the same visuals from before.
Character sets
I think in the minds of most people this is the best part, because of all the busty characters. I think all the boobs really makes it worse though, because when everyone is busty then its just normal. Its even worse when the girls that have smaller boobs are considered flat hahahhaah. Other then this obvious fact, the actual characters don't keep the best consistency at all. You get many awkward angles and distorted figures when the scenes change.
Background
They play an Ok role in the series, well they were there. They were exactly beautiful, but stood out enough for you to care. They do run around quite a bit so you get a good variety of different settings.
Motion
Some of the battles are good, but then sometimes you get pretty awful fights as well. Its just a mix of good and bad all around. I think in most cases only the really important fights were better, but the unimportant stuff is crappy as hell. I guess really just expect big sparks to fly and flashy colorfulness all over the screen.
Sound
Not a fan really, it did its role thats about it.
VA
The only thing I really want to talk about are the VA's. From the season 1 I already disliked the voices. I mean sure some of them fit the characters, but they just aren't very good. For instance Minato's VA Tachnibana Shinnosuke he doesn't have enough emotion at all. He doesn't breath any life into the character at all. Musubi is done by Hayami Saori who is just annoying as hell. I realize she is suppose to be ditzy and stupid but really? Whenever she talks I want to punch her in the face.
Story
The story moves a little bit from start to finish, well I guess they have some fights and you find out a little bit more of the background. At least it is going forward and not backwards? The anime doesn't end so its still yet to see where they are going with any of this. The first half of this season was still focusing on Minato gathering Sekirei and coming in with himself.
Characters
They are weak.... very weak. You just don't care about any of them, because they are so one dimensional. I think as always the two main characters are the best example. Minato has no personality, he thinks he does and he thinks hes making all the decisions. But really hes getting dragged around by circumstances and other peoples will. He just runs forward and drags the others with him. Then you have Musubi who is even worse she just says yes to everything. The other characters, all stay within character but still follow the flow of things. All in All its flat and uninteresting, they don't have any memorable struggles nor do they present an interesting outlook on anything.
Value and Enjoyment
At this point I think the value is pretty much zero. What do you get from watching this series? Well you see big busty girls running around fighting. Then you see characters crying when they get hurt, even though the whole point of it is they fight. Whatever. Even with all this said, it is mindless entertainment. I mean once in a while watching this isn't too bad. But this on the same level as watching a b-movie, its funny but is it good? Hell no. Anyways don't feel too bad if you enjoy it.
Have fun!
