One of my favourite shows of 2020 is back. Thank the jdorama gods for shows like Izakaya Nobu and Konya Ko ni Ji for getting me through the lockdowns of 2020.
Isekai has become such a bad word for anime because they are all stupid wish fulfilment shows that we tend to forget isekai existed before light novels were around and can be used to tell interesting stories.
The best thing about Isekai Izakaya Nobu is that it puts an interesting spin on food porn by setting it up in a middle ages city and playing that for laughs. The main characters are the owner of Nobu and Shinobu the waitress so its about them service nice food to customers. Luckily someone wasn't dumb enough to set it Nobu an online game or give the owner a harem of women.
I have to admit, Isekai Izakaya Nobu is not as funny the second time around. The first season went through so many jokes for an Izakaya set in a middle ages city nothing seems fresh in season 2.
The first few episodes were a bit slow but its gotten better. Season 2 is subtitled the witch and archbishop chapter. We've been introduced to the witch and the show has taken great pains to explain the church hierarchy so I expect the story to pick up in the second half with some religious politics!
Isekai Izakaya Nobu is entertaining food porn, just not as fresh as the first season which I almost gave a must watch. There's still a chance the second half will be very good. I am happy Nobu is back because it is such a relaxing show to watch. Watchable. Big thanks to monchi for subbing!

Oh that's great to know that it's still pretty good. I enjoyed the first season and was looking forward to the second. Thanks Mike!
