MKR 2
For starter, MKR is one of the best series in the anime world. It contains friendship, love, truth, and believe. In MKR 2, Hikaru, Umi and Fuu once again return to Cephiro by an unknown force. They found out that once the dream land, Cephiro, is no more. Instead Cephiro is in danger and is crumbling away. With the threat of three neighboring Countries - Autozam, Fahren, and Chizeta trying to become the new Pillar and a new enemy Nova. The three Magic Knights need to fight to protect Cephiro once again.

After watching this 7 DVD box set, I personally found that it is quite different from the original Manga series (I read the manga series before the anime series). I am somewhat disappoint that they omitted some of the events and secrets in the series. Also the love relationship and the ending is different from the original Manga series. I suggest those love MKR need to read the Manga series. But, MKR 2 anime series is still a really good animation work and should be treature by anime lover.

A beautifully packaged, wonderful series
This box set contains 29 episodes on 7 DVDs, which comprise the second (and last) season of Magic Knight Rayearth. The packaging is beautiful: a heavy box which opens in the front with artwork of the magic knights on the front and sides. This is by far the best box put out by an American anime company, and it puts the season 1 box to shame. Absent some spelling errors on the individual DVDs, the packaging is simply top notch.

As for the show, it is a fair bit different than the first season. An underlying current in the first season was that the show was something of a parody of Japanese RPGs (role-playing games). Here, the situation is more serious; somewhat unexpectedly, the show has more humor as well. The magic knights, three 14-year old girls from Tokyo, are summoned again to the world of Cephiro by an unknown force and find it crumbling. Cephiro is ruled by a pillar, one person whose will rules all; in the previous season, Cephiro lost its pillar, and it is now crumbling into nothingness. To make matters worse, three other worlds are invading it and a dark enemy has appeared from within. The show does start a little slow, and there are some saccharine moments--but those are to be expected if you saw the first season. On the other hand there's no concerns about nudity (although there is an innocent exchange reflecting a girl's anxiety about her chest) or language or graphic violence, so it's a fairly safe title for kids to see. Note that there is fighting, death, and occasional blood, so this is not a show for those who want to avoid all violence. If you've seen the first season and liked it, you'll like this: at once darker and funnier, with characters you came to like.

Once
Season 2 was good, but not great. I would recommend if you have a friend, to borrow it from them. It's not worth buying, but worth seeing. It is alot more serious than the first season and some parts don't quite make sense.
