Plot:

Somehow I felt that there is something lacking through the plot compare to the first season. I don't quite enjoy it as the first season. I felt like it is not as impactful as it was. The message of each episode did not quite delivers. Somehow it focus more on how gore and bloody it is. However, the first season manage to bring that horror, spine chilling, hair raising atmosphere that the sequel.
I was expecting how NANNO able to drives the plot and excites us through every episodes. but somehow it feels lacking, especially with the introduction of Yuri as a new character. I really do not like Yuri as a character. I undrstand they want to potray a new character that is clashing and have different opinion to Nanno but somehow it comes as annoying. Everytime she shows up I feel like i want to skip her part. After watching the whole season 2, afraid that the next season will be focus on Yuri (please don't, the sole reason I watch Girl from Nowhere is due to Nanno as a character). I like the idea of the possibilities of Nanno being replace by her rival it is fresh. However, at the end of the episode how Nanno is being replaced by Yuri and new girl, junko, just does not satisfy me at all and make me does not want to know the next story anymore. while Yuri character is annoying for me. Junko character is just underwhelming. maybe I just had bias against Yuri and Junko character., or maybe not.

IMO, the essence of GFN is to show human dark side through Nanno either enticing them or slowly revealing it to us. However, in season 2, I didn't get the theme of the whole season. At the start I though it was about punishing the 'bad' kids, somehow it got off the track and then become a revenge spree series with no pay off (message that each episode convey to us, audiences). It just feels like, OH They bullied me they have to DIE in a gore way! Kill! and that's it? I did not feel the satisfaction I felt after watching each episode like the Season 1.


Acting:

Acting of the actors still shines though. The only thing that stills bug me from the first season is the laugh. Both Nanno and Yuri laugh still don't quite 'there' yet. Nanno sometimes manages to hit it but still not consistent. Other than that, I feel like all is good.

Music:

Glad that it still use the same music from the first season.

Rewatch Value:

First season has better rewatch value.


Overall:

Can we just talk about the wig??? OMG, right from the first episode I kept getting distracted by how stiff and obvious the wigs are. First season Nanno has much better wig and looks more natural. (If Chicha is not wearing a wig, I seriously question the stylist how could they make her hair so stiff). Yuri's wig is worse than Nanno, OMG. the whole season, the most thing I focus on is the wigs! it shows how distracting they are. If there is Season 3, they need to put more budget on the wig. I beg you.
