Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan Set 2 (BD) [Blu-ray]

This review will be for the Blu-ray release meaning I cannot speak for what is on the DVD version. Although it is usually the same exact release. - May contain spoilers so read at your own risk!Just like with the first part of this series I feel like it had very slow pacing. It took a good amount of episodes to get to where it had to be, a lot of talking and even an episode that felt like a filler episode. I feel like this part took a little bit longer to get down to the action and really good content than the first part did. With the Gyuuki arc in Part 1, it only took about 5-6 episodes max to really get into the Gyuuki arc. Although we did have the introduction episode to getting to know some of the yokai, Rikuo and his human friends, etc. before the Gyuuki arc fully began something about the pacing in Part 1 was much better than this final part. What I'm trying to get across is that this final part has a lot of talking, potentially boring moments, and even a meaningless episode with one of Rikuo's human classmates. Like, this episode came out of no where, did not advance the plot in any way and even back slight background information on a character that is literally useless for the rest of this season and the next one. I'm not sold on the fact that it was actually canon material. - Hell, it really may be a filler episode, I didn't bother to do any research on it. Once you get this set and view it for yourself hopefully you will understand the episode I'm referring to here. I'd prefer to give as little spoilers as possible, meaning I won't get much more into it than that.Seeing Rikuo's dedication and power as the new Lord of Pandemonium is strongly presented and shown in this final set. As the war between the two night parades draws closer, Rikuo's courage and resolve as the new leader is tested more than ever. If you thought his speech and resolve after the Gyuuki arc was strong and pretty impressive, than you're in for a special treat with this set. Rikuo's yokai form takes awesome to a whole new place within every episode. - His night form is actually what encouraged me to get into this series at all, actually. I'm a huge InuYasha lover and this series had it's special moments in it for me. Rikuo did not disappoint in this set one bit.This is the same release format as the previous set. Two standard Blu-ray discs with nice artwork on them, a Neon Alley advertisement inside and all of that. Nothing special at all. The only extras are some character artwork, creditless opening 2 and that's really it.. nothing to write home about. The quality for the Blu-ray release is still just as good, no complaints from me about it.I honestly want to give this box set a 10/10 simply because I love Rikuo and all of the main characters.. but it really does not deserve it in any way. I'd give it roughly a 6 or 7 out of 10. This box set lacks any real extra features, standard boring release and nothing new. The episodes and quality were good but were very slow paced and even somewhat boring. Hopefully my review doesn't turn you away from watching and buying this set, because I really did not intend for that to happen if it did. I loved this box set and the series as a whole, so if you've seen part one then do give this final set a shot and base your own opinion on it. I'm just giving mine as a possible warning to new buyers of the set.This is the final set for season one until Sennen Makyou / Demon Capital is released sometime next year (I'm assuming).

I don't think this one is for Kids.The DVD is of good quality, video quality is good too, Blu-ray. All the episodes for season 2 are there. Now I need to order season 1; I first saw the show online, I think Hulu.

This was amazing and some parts were so heart touching that I was like "awww no it wasn't his fault why?" and was just great. It had a sad yet at same time touching ending and it like "aww" the fight scenes are epic and very gripping. I had a hard time looking away from the screen when watching.I would recommend it to anyone who is into Japanese anime, samurai's, fight of good verses evil, jealous bodyguard, and the heart touching of a misguided character meeting tragedy but then perhaps finding a second chance at happiness, the only thing that misguided person wanted was happiness and acceptance among others.

I've really enjoyed watching this anime. As always, it holds great fights, humor, loyalty and romance. This season didn't have as much romantic action as the first one did but enough to keep you interested. In episodes 17 - 26, you really see Rikuo grow into the Yokai he's always meant to be. As usual, his friends are nuts. If you liked the first season, you'll love this season as well. Can't wait for Season 2 part 1!!

This is such an under-rated and unknown about series in general compared to more popular ones, but this is definitely an amazing series and I highly recommend it if you like action, shounen, supernatural and fantasy in anime. It is really a great story. Takes a few episodes to pick up, but once it does, you will NOT be disappointed I can assure you that. Great addition to anyone's collection :)

Video arrived very quickly and in excellent condition! I tested it out to make sure that the dvd worked and it played all of the episodes!

I WANT MORE EPISODES BUT I am glad with what exists.

It's a beautiful show, and it got here super fast. Wish there was another season, but I'll take what I can get

totally worth buying the series again

This story is part 2 of the story of Rikuo Nura and his rise to take over the clan and the fight that he has to get stronger. The story is well done and well they say the "Third Heir" instead of the "Third Commander" the dub is not that badly done. The one thing that can be annoying sometimes is that they have an episode that tells the story again up to that point so it sometimes makes the story line a little choppy and not flow easily. I hope that they bring out Nura: Rise of the Yokai Clan: Demon Capital soon so that the story may continue. I have seen the first few episodes online and they are good. I would recommend this to any one. It should be bought at the same time or after Nura: rise of the Yokai Clan Set 1.

Great

Continued story of Riko. Still awesome!!
