There is a LOT of panty fan service in this season. Rosario+Vampire is also quite self aware. I found the anime funny and endearing despite being formulaic. The monster conflicts are secondary and mostly serve to ignite the four’s efforts to push Tsukune to pick one of them. Like the first season, Rosario+Vampire is enjoyable because of the characters. Of course, hilarity is a part of these misguided schemes. Even their mothers get into the act! The ante is ramped up to the point where Kurumu and Mizore are encouraged to…uh…claim Tsukune by popping his man-cherry. In this season, the four continue vying for Tsukune’s love even more overtly. Mizore returns with even more stalking and skulking. Kurumu still forces Tsukune to motorboat her bust every episode while Yukari frets over her small chest. Moka is still shy and, in her “true” form, overpowered. It keeps the monster-of-the-week format, but the monsters are much weaker than those that ended the first season.

There are a few references to events in the previous season. The story for season 2 is almost a completely fresh start. A new semester beings at Yokai Academy! Rosario + Vampire Season 2 starts over from the beginning with Tsukune meeting a new vampire (The driver of many of the season’s conflicts) the same way he met Moko in the first season.
