Seitokai Yakuindomo: Movie 2 Blu-ray Movie
Sentai Filmworks | 2021 | 80 min | Rated TV-MA | Sep 20, 2022 | Neil Lumbard
Being an anime fan is rather like an obsession and true otaku will go to extreme lengths to support their favorite sagas. SEITOKAI YAKUINDOMO fans are no exception, and here's the payoff: another ridiculous story of the former all-girl's school where seemingly all of the ladies have sex on the mind constantly… or at least talk that way… while poor Takatoshi dutifully labors on as the male focus of the rest of the student council's hyper-focused attentions. From appearing in questionably-intended student films to taking some very hands-on wrestling lessons, no good deed will ever come without pun-ishment when it's constantly innuendo and out the other!
