Since Kurumi, his childhood friend, is not even really his girlfriend, the only thing that Takeshi has left is studying the art of Kendo. Until, that is, he discovers an unconscious girl in a strange uniform and suddenly finds himself in the business of rescuing damsels in distress, facing off against a group of magic users, and ends up with magical powers himself!

Distributed by: Section23 Films
Run Time: 80 min.
Street Date: 9/20/2022
Format: BD
Language: Japanese with English Subtitles
SYNOPSIS: Being an anime fan is rather like an obsession and true otaku will go to extreme lengths to support their favorite sagas. SEITOKAI YAKUINDOMO fans are no exception, and here's the payoff: another ridiculous story of the former all-girl's school where seemingly all of the ladies have sex on the mind constantly… or at least talk that way… while poor Takatoshi dutifully labors on as the male focus of the rest of the student council's hyper-focused attentions. From appearing in questionably-intended student films to taking some very hands-on wrestling lessons, no good deed will ever come without pun-ishment when it's constantly innuendo and out the other in SEITOKAI YAKUINDOMO THE MOVIE 2!
