Now they are shown from specific perspectives that deepen characterization rather than just provide a screenshot where one can yell "Call Chris Hansen!" It’s unnerving, yes, but those who have the stomach to handle such provocative imagery will see past that into what is becoming a darker coming-of-age tale than previously thought to be.

The weight behind the sexual overtones of the series has also become heavier. The jokes are still there, and still as funny as they are disturbing, but they are balanced much better here than they were before. Though the Second Term is a short one, the character development plunges to unfathomable depths, broadening the scope of the series theme of kids who want to be treated as grownups by making the kids themselves mirrors to the adults' emotional statuses. Perhaps the most notable of these is Kuro-chan's ambition to make Shirae-sensei her friend, an ambition that opens old wounds in Shirae-sensei and uncovers deep scars of how Kuro lives her life. Probably the most laudable of Second Term's achievements is thus delving beyond Rin into the psyches of her friends Kuro and Mimi, and even the strict Shirae-sensei in powerful and heartbreaking glimpses of their deepest fears and realizations. Starting as Rin and her class enters fourth grade, the characters themselves alsoĮnter a poignant growth stage within the series, both adults and kids. Make no mistake, though, Rin and her friends are all still up to their old perverted tricks, but with tighter writing, a stronger balance of comedy and drama, and a wider character focus, Kodomo no Jikan's Second Term is even better than the first.

Chances are those of you who finished the first installment of this highly controversial anime came to the realization that there is more here than loli fanservice, and this second installment almost seems to be a reward for those of you who watched it for the surprisingly effective drama.
