Those who have been to college, probably know it best as a place to learn and to find yourself growing up even more than before. Well…Uzaki hasn’t grown up at all and is still the big-chested goofball we loved from season 1, which is a good thing. The bowling episode is still the high point of season 2 as we loved seeing the two friends continue their game to sabotage one another in the pursuit of a good time. Not much has changed between the two—aside from their clear feelings for each other being stronger—but that is what we love, even now, about this series. There is a romantic plot here but the main focus is two friends who really just can’t admit their love and their hanging out makes that reality even funnier.

Aside from the bowling episode, we did love the football game—American Soccer—that had Sakurai slam a soccer ball into three “bullies” and watch as their skeletons broke in an x-ray-themed series of events. It's scenes like this that we hope the series continues to utilize and why we rarely experienced not laughing from every episode even when it’s repeating themes, which we will mention later.

So episode 1 did something very interesting. We see a Christmas scene between Uzaki and Sakurai that leads to a possible romance that could blossom between the two. Now, here’s our main concern with this scene... Is this really going to be the season where these two admit their love for one another or is this a red herring meant to keep the viewers believing the two will become a future couple only to later lead to a joke ending? Honestly, we kind of liked this scene but we will really have issues if they make it a comedic gag later as we REALLY WANT THESE TWO TO BE A COUPLE!!!

Okay. Comedy series rarely deviate from their themes—as they hope the comedy keeps making you laugh—but Uzaki-chan Wants to Hang Out! Season 2 might suffer a bit if the comedy keeps being the same throughout the remainder of the season. Uzaki and Sakurai’s friends are hilarious but they continue to do the same gags of trying to get the pair together and/or making comments about how they aren’t together. This was hilarious in season 1 but in this second season it kind of feels…old. Ami Asai’s motives, though, are the best form of fan service for the viewer as they often have Uzaki dress up in provocative and revealing clothing but again…we’ve seen this before and kind of wish she did some other things much like Itsuhito Sakaki.
