Season two walks in knowing exactly what you came for and cranks the gag density until you stop trying to keep up. Draluc still bursts into dust if a breeze looks at him wrong, and the joke somehow gets funnier the more the show abuses it, because the punchline was never the dust, it was Ronaldo's face afterward. John the armadillo remains the most emotionally competent character in the cast. The returning faces, up to and including the axe-wielding editor, get folded back in without a recap slog, and the new additions actually earn their screen time instead of padding it. Fair warning: the ecchi and shock gags run hot here, more nudity punchlines than some people will want. If that's your wavelength, this is the sharper season. Nobody stays dead long enough to matter.
Ronaldo and Draluc are back for another round of chaos. The vampire hunter and his pathetically fragile vampire companion continue their odd partnership in this second season, based on a comedic supernatural shounen manga by Bonnoki Itaru. Draluc, the feeblest vampire around, crumbles into dust at even the lightest hit, which makes him a strange partner for a man who hunts his kind. The show leans into its brand of rapid-fire comedy, playing slapstick violence against Draluc's paper-thin durability. Twelve episodes aired in 2023. If you laughed through the first season at how quickly things fall apart, the sequel offers more of the same.
