Synopsis

A human may become a vampire only if they fall in love with one—and 14-year-old Kou Yamori wishes for nothing more. Kou has decided to fall in love with a vampire named Nazuna Nanakusa, and he has only 10 months of nightly rendezvous left to realize his goal. Kou's friends, Mahiru Seki and Akira Asai, are slowly coming to terms with the existence of vampires and Kou's decision to become one. As Kou realizes that a woman close to Mahiru is a vampire, he is unsure whether to support this relationship. Meanwhile, Anko Uguisu, the human detective bent on killing vampires, closes in on Nazuna and her coven. When an encounter leaves one of the vampires seriously injured, they learn that their human memories hold the key to a weakness that can be their demise—and to protect Nazuna, Kou must find out about her past.

Review: Call of the Night Season 2 (much better than one frame man literal trash but still disappointing) Having adored Call of the Night’s first season, I walked into Season 2 with high hopes—perhaps too high. What made the original so special was its effortless charm: a fresh atmosphere, gorgeous neon-soaked art, and a laid-back, almost dreamy vibe that filled every episode with warmth. Unfortunately, Season 2 abandons much of that identity. It tries to reinvent itself into something darker, more serious, and “profound,” but the shift feels forced rather than natural. One of the biggest disappointments is the romance. Season 1 hinted at a slow, intriguingprogression that had real potential to blossom. Instead, Season 2 delivers almost nothing. Whenever it does attempt romantic development, it feels half-hearted and, frankly, dull. Characters who once felt lively and full of promise also suffer. Many of them lose the spark that made them interesting, becoming more like shadows of their Season 1 selves. The detective character, who initially seemed compelling, becomes the season’s biggest misfire. The writing around her feels like an unnecessary attempt at being “deep” or Shakespearean, but instead it comes across as pretentious and poorly executed. Despite these frustrations—especially the disaster that was Episode 10—I still give Season 2 a 3/10. The first few episodes were genuinely strong, and the art and animation remain stunning throughout, especially the color work reminiscent of Episode 1. But overall, this was a disappointing follow-up to a brilliant first season.

“Call of the Night Season 2,” are you the rare second season that is as good, if not better, than the first? From the perspective of an anime-only watcher, I think that the answer is yes. If season 1 of this show was about building up the vibes of the world, season 2 was about diving deep into the characters and the story. That might be controversial to some (especially those who preferred the slower pacing of the first season), but I loved it. By going full force into the plot, the show was able to keep me really engaged, and I think it didso without losing its signature atmosphere. This is particularly commendable because this season included a vital arc that took place over a particular holiday, priming itself for comparison to another second season of an anime that included a vital arc that took place over the same holiday. I won’t go into depth to avoid spoilers, but CotN S2 holds its own despite the clear and obvious comparison I’m alluding to. Overall, I had a really good time with this season, so much so that I’m tempted to pick up the manga and check out what all of the manga readers are claiming the anime lacked by speeding up the pacing. At the very least, it’ll hold me over until Nazuna and Kou are around again to explore another season of neon-colored nights with us.

Although I don't think this will get the buzz or recognition that it should - I do think that this show should strongly be in the running for Anime of the Year for 2025. From start to end, it is a great experience. It is Smart, Sexy, Serious but Silly, and stylish. The Animation is top notch, I love the use of lighting and colors; it really brought the night alive. The Music for the OP/EN are top notch. I usually find myself doing a quick skip on most to save time, but for this show, I always found myself watching and spotting thelittle eastereggs and nodding my head to the beats. The Story is great and the Characters are top notch. Nasuna is outstanding as usual, but the star of the show is The Detective. That's all I'll say to avoid spoilers, but this was probably the best arc in the manga, and to see it brought to Anime was a treat. Watch or regret it.

Man… Call of the Night Season 2 isn’t just a sequel — it’s a full-on sensory experience. This anime doesn’t just show the night — it makes you feel it. Every frame, every shimmer of neon, every quiet moment in the city streets feels alive. It’s like the whole show is whispering to you through the dark: “Stay a little longer… the night still has stories to tell.” The second season dives deeper into the emotional and psychological layers of the story. Kou’s journey isn’t just about becoming a vampire anymore — it’s about understanding loneliness, desire, and identity. His interactions with Nazuna are more mature,more intimate, and beautifully human. But let’s be real — the season’s absolute highlight is Anko. And here’s where I’ve got to say it loud: Miyuki Sawashiro absolutely CRUSHED this role. Her performance as Anko was phenomenal. Like, on another level. She didn’t just voice the character — she embodied her. Every line, every sigh, every subtle change in tone carried so much emotion. You could feel Anko’s exhaustion, her frustration, her pain — and that quiet strength buried underneath it all. Sawashiro’s voice acting was so nuanced that it made Anko one of the most compelling characters in the entire series. It’s the kind of performance that lingers with you long after the episode ends. So yeah — The soundtrack? Dreamy and hypnotic. The visuals? Pure night-time poetry. The characters? Complex and real. And Sawashiro Miyuki? Absolutely legendary. In the end, Call of the Night Season 2 isn’t just an anime about vampires — it’s a story about people searching for meaning in the quiet hours of the night. It reminds you that even in darkness, there’s beauty… and sometimes, that’s where we find ourselves the most.

'Call of the Night Season 2' is just as enjoyable as Season 1, and for some, it's better. § Studio and Staff ⚫ The original season of Call of the Night is one of the most popular and highly rated anime of LIDENFILMS, and Season 2 is even more popular. ⚫ I note how the director, Itamura Tomoyuki, originally worked at Studio SHAFT, so we see some wonderful visuals. Season 2 continues this. ⚫ Creepy Nuts continue to play the OP and ED this season. Whilst their songs in Season 1 sounded like a party, it is more mellow this time, and they sound like the last hour ofthat party. § Notes on the Story Here are the highlights of Season 2, the very things that make this worthwhile if you enjoyed Season 1. ⚫ Whilst the first season seemed to be a coming-of-age story for Kou, Season 2 feels more like testing Kou's commitment to his chosen path. ⚫ A mysterious supporting character is introduced. She doesn't seem to play a role in Season 2, but from spoilers I read, her actions led to the events in this season. Her exact role will be revealed, perhaps in Season 3, if ever there will be one. ⚫ We also see backstories for Nazuna's circle of vampire friends. ⚫ The identity of the detective, Uguisu Anko, is revealed, and she drives much of the plot of Season 2. ⚫ Related to Anko, Nazuna's true identity and origins are revealed. § Why Watch Season 2 If Season 1 seems more symbolic, this one feels more concrete as we get to know more about the characters. There is action, and you can feel some tension as the episodes approach the climax, which leads to a beautiful conclusion involving reconciliation. Season 1 shows how beautiful the night can be. Season 2, however, shows what makes life worth living. NOTA BENE: A grade of 7 out of 10 means that I find this anime is very good and two notches above average. I enjoyed watching it. It is a high score. It's not mid or average, unlike the misconception of some people on this site. My enjoyment spectrum lies from 4 to 10. If I have scored an anime below 4, I actively dislike it.

Wow. This blew me away, compared to season 1. If season one was the equivalent of a generic romance anime, this is the exact opposite. Hell, in some moments the anime doesn`t even feel like a romance. The characters here are really well written, and the animation is better. I could go on and ramble a lot about the characters, but than it would be spoilers. The soundtrack I think is a bit worse, not a fan of the new ending, yet it still manages to compliment the anime really nice. I originally had this at a 10/10, but I reduced it to a 9/10 because pacingissues, mainly backstory.

There’s a special kind of magic to Call of the Night, that quiet, late-night vibe where everything feels just a little more alive. From the very first episode, it pulls you into this intoxicating world of glowing city lights, humid summer air, and the stillness of midnight streets. Directors Tomoyuki Itamura, Tetsuya Miyanishi, and the insanely talented team at LIDEN FILMS absolutely nailed the mood. The colour palette bursts with neon purples, deep blues, and electric pinks; every frame looks like it was painted straight out of a dream. The direction is smooth, confident, and full of personality, making even the simplest moments feel cinematic.It’s one of those rare shows where you can pause at any second and get a wallpaper-worthy shot. The art and animation are simply stunning; they don’t just depict the night, they breathe it. And speaking of breathing life into the night, the soundtrack is a masterpiece in itself. Creepy Nuts, who provide both the opening and ending themes, perfectly capture that mix of calm confidence and late-night melancholy the show thrives on. Their music feels like it was written for the streets Kou wanders, smooth, moody, and endlessly replayable. The background score by Yoshiaki Dewa adds an emotional depth that sneaks up on you, giving the quiet moments real weight. Together, the sound and visuals create a hypnotic atmosphere, a vibe that stays with you for a very long time! But what really makes Call of the Night special is its cast of characters. Every single one of them feels layered and real, not just archetypes but fully realized people with fears, quirks, and insecurities. Even though many are vampires, they feel more human than most humans you see in anime. Kou Yamori, the night owl who just can’t fit into the rhythm of daylight society, is the emotional core of it all. His search for meaning and his urge to escape the emptiness of everyday life hit close to home for me. Nazuna, on the other hand, is this chaotic, carefree, yet deeply lonely presence, embodying both freedom and vulnerability. Every side character adds their own perspective and depth to the story, giving the narrative this rich, interconnected feel. It’s a show where every conversation and every relationship feels like it matters. Honestly, Call of the Night hit me in ways I didn’t expect. There’s something about it that goes beyond the stunning animation or the beautifully drawn cityscapes — it feels like it understands what it’s like to drift through life, searching for meaning in the quiet moments. Watching Kou and Nazuna, I kept thinking about those nights when everything else fades away, and you’re left with your own thoughts and solitude, yet somehow it feels alive and full of possibility. The show reminded me that it’s okay not to have all the answers, and that sometimes the most important thing is just to exist; to notice the fleeting beauty, the little connections, and the moments that make life feel worth living. Yofukashi no Uta isn’t just about vampires or romance; it’s about that longing for purpose, freedom, and a place where you truly feel at home. For me, it stayed with me long after the city lights went out, like a quiet whisper that lingers, reminding you to keep searching and savour the night!

What a departure from the first season in terms of emotional depth and stakes! Truthfully, I was hesitant to even start this show because the first season, while fun, didn’t offer much outside of eye candy and ann occasional laugh or cute moment. However, starting this season, I remembered immediately what drew me to this story beyond the stunning backdrops. Nazuna, as cute-iful, funny, and unhinged as she is, wasn’t actually the glue for this season. The real champion was Yamori Ko with his naive charm and hopeful innocence. This season did a proper job fleshing out the entire supporting cast of vampires as well-giving important exposition to the ladies that surround Nazuna’s, and now Ko’s, life. The first season was a journey of adolescence focused on fitting into society and whether that’s even necessary at all while this second season moves on to more adult lessons about confronting your past and how not all endings are happy, but also that it’s never too late to turn things around. Definitely worth watching. Yofukashi no Uta Season 2: solid 8/10

The vibe’s still nocturnal, but the magic kinda overslept. 🌙 THE “STILL COOL BUT… WHY AM I NOT FEELING IT?” PACKAGE: Let’s be real this anime still looks gorgeous. The OP? i mean come on it's creepy-nuts Straight-up god tier. The atmosphere? A glowing neon masterpiece. The start even had that same electric “night freedom” energy that made Season 1 so special at least to me. But then… something kinda dimmed ? 😴 THE “IT’S NOT YOU, IT’S ME… OR IS IT?” ENERGY: Maybe I’ve changed. Maybe it has. Either way, the spark just doesn’t hit like before. The story drifts not badly, but aimlessly.Every episode feels like it’s chasing the old magic and tripping over its own vibes wich it doesn't need to . You keep waiting for that emotional bite, eventully there is something but it just… hums softly instead in most cases. 🦇 THE “STILL GOT STYLE THOUGH” DEPARTMENT: The music? Unmatched game the same. The lighting and color work? Chef’s kiss. And the cast is still lovable in that weird, vampire-hipster way. But damn, if only the pacing and focus matched the aesthetic. 🎯 FINAL VERDICT: It’s like your favorite bar still open, still playing your song, but the bartender changed and something in the air feels off. Watch if: You crave late-night neon melancholy and still hum the OP like a prayer. Skip if: You need the plot to actually do something relevent or can’t survive on pure vibes and nostalgia alone. Best paired with: 🧃 A can of energy drink, lo-fi beats, and the faint feeling that you’re missing something you can’t name.

Story (6): Not gonna lie, this season has been a bit of a downturn compared to the previous one. Season 1 certainly explained the initial plot points. Season 2 explores the vampires' pasts, but it's a bit boring. Season 1 felt like they were peacefully vibing around at night, but I don't feel that way this season. I just hope the next season can bounce back. Characters (7): It was okay, but I was a bit disappointed with the detective. In Season 1, she looked badass, but this season, she's like a wannabe badass, but in a childish way. It's a bit cringe-worthy. What really caught my attentionwas the new character named Kiku; you could feel how scary she is. VIsual (9): Still a banger, especially for this night slice of life that it looks like a synthwave or retromusic Audio (8): Not a big fan of the OP & Ending, But it's okay tho

The first season was fantastic and I cannot help but to feel a bit disappointed that most of the stuff I loved about it is replaced with a cookie-cutter mystery and (admittedly well written) drama. It is still a good show don't get me wrong. I just miss the vibes of the first season and the exploration of freedom that you feel while strolling around at night. In my opinion, we lost more than we gained with this shift of focus. I am not saying that you will not find anything of value in season two. The characters are still wonderful and full of personality.The soundtrack is amazing as expected. The designs of the characters are fantastic too. But if you are like me and find the heart of the show to be nightlife and the freedom it provides, you might be disappointed with what you get. Or you might just find the new themes and more of a focus on the plotline to be just as compelling? Who knows. I just know that for a person that wanted to be enveloped in the vibes of the night like me, it was a downgrade from season one. If you are wondering what I gave the first season, it was a 10/10. You can see why I am disappointed here hopefully.

I find it amazing how Yofukashi has become one of my favorite romance anime because it’s just so good, seriously, I don’t even have anything to complain about. First, the anime keeps its incredible vibe and aesthetic just like in the first season, but what I really want to highlight is how narratively this second season developed the story way more than the first. And damn, Anko is such a brilliantly written and deep character — without a doubt, she’s my favorite. And this opening, what a beautiful thing. I don’t think I skipped it even once, which is really rare for me — usually I listenjust once and then always skip, but this one was impossible to skip. I’m super excited for them to announce the third season, I really hope it doesn’t take too long. 🧛‍♀️

For nocturnal souls who love vibes with plot The show excels in its moody, neon-lit visuals, perfectly capturing the allure of nighttime and the freedom it represents. The plot is original unlike other vampire animes and vampire fantasy + romance is always a weak point for sol lovers . They don't even need to look at premise . Other important factor that makes this show good is collab with national artists for ed and op songs . I really liked creepy nut music lietrally a blend of hip hop with japanese tales . Now the main problem is that lack of chapters for season3 . I have genuine doubts regarding production of next season .Hope so, we can witness a complete package of story even though i know some of the manga portion so, kinda dissapointed too. Don't wanna spoil so, ending this review here . Hope , you guys enjoyed . Eternal nights with endless emotions .

I almost gave up on this anime in season 1. I watched the last episode a few weeks after it aired. I thought season 1 was ok, but it didn't leave me craving for a season 2. I was coming with the same expectations of season 1, it felt like a cozy, nightlife, slice of life/romance anime, which isn't really a concept that I've ever seen before. I wasn't expecting much out of it, but even though I had low expectations at the beginning, I kept raising my expectations as the show went on. Surprisingly, the show exceeded my expectations when it came to thestory, dialogue, direction, enjoyment and music. Story-8/10 Call of the Night, season 2, focuses on Nazuna's past and how she was able to meet a certain someone, and how she became a vampire. It also focuses on how that certain someone's past and how she gained animosity towards vampires. It all led up to something that happened on Halloween. Characters-8/10 Characters like Nazuna, Yamori, and the detective really carry the show. There has been a lot of character development at the end of the show, but I can't really say what happened since I'm avoiding spoilers. If you don't think these characters changed at the end, then you simply don't know anything about character development. I'm giving it an 8 because although these 3 characters are solid (they're the characters with the most screentime as welll), the side characters are kind of lacking; they're one-dimensional. Music-10/10 It's creepy nuts, you can't go wrong with creepy nuts. The opening was great, and the ending is more like rap, but it actually got me hooked. The ending is extremely underrated due to the message. The soundtrack is amazing as well, and they brought back the 1st ending on the last episode. Enjoyment-9/10 Surprisingly, I was not bored when I was watching this; it felt like a whole different show when compared to the 1st season. Overall-9/10 I do recommend everyone who has watched the first season to watch this because it's really worth it; it does compete with the top shows that are airing this season.

Going into this season, it always felt like a "go with the flow" kind of show where you don't really have to pay that much attention to what's going on and just indulged in the fun moments it had to offer. It started to feel like a drag towards the end, even though it's supposed to be the climax of the season. I loved learning more about the other vampires and getting a look into their lives. Seeing Yamori and Nazuna's dynamic is always funny too. The semi-sarcastic gags usually never fail to make me laugh, but that mainly applied to the first half of theseason. The production value is there for sure. The vampires are always looking pretty and doing flashy poses. There was some action that was well-animated too. Overall, I had a lot of fun earlier in the season when the story mainly took a backseat, but it in the frame just enough for the season not to feel directionless. My feelings started to change towards the end of the season, when there is a confrontation with the current antagonist. It feels like all the stakes that the character brought just weren't there, even before the confrontation began. It seems like they just did ONE interesting and threatening thing in the first season (and the start of this season), then just made them play a bunch of mind games to the point where they don't even achieve anything meaningful. Everything they do towards the end will just leave you confused and maybe invested as if they were enacting some intricate scheme until they actually reveal what's actually happening. I can understand why this is supposed to be in character, it just didn't feel very convincing. It didn't feel like there was a huge payoff. In the end, this character failed to make an impression. After I started feeling that way, I just enjoyed the later episodes less (including the gags). So, overall, I think the first half of the season was more fun than the latter.

There are two ways to look at Call of the Night Season 2. From a purely anime perspective, it's a continuation of more of the same vampires in the night aesthetic, with Yamori taking solace in it. It does this all while introducing a more serious dark tone. The anime did a good job redefining and then resolving the promises continuing from the previous season and made at the beginning of this one. The other perspective that is the one I align with, is that the creative liberty was taken to speed up the pacing of the story by leaving out most of the nightschool events in the manga to its own detriment. The finale becomes devalued by removing much of the emotional connections the central characters had with one another, as well as the symbolic importance of the Literature Club room for Yamori. The anime achieved this by essentially deleting the character Rila. There's only so much that can be done in 12 episodes. So, while I'm able to rationally understand, emotionally I disagree with the decision to have it pack less of a punch.

Season 2 is very different beast to season 1, it's full of mysteries and revelations, love and hate, depression and salvation. It truly was enjoyable watch from beginning to end. Animation and music - both are great. OP and ED were nice, but the main song that still echoes for this series is Loss Time by Creepy Nuts. Animation is phenomenal, there was not a moment I noticed that something was badly animated. The background, the fighting scenes and the emotional scenes are all feast for the eyes. Overall - both animation and music are great. A treat for eyes and ears. Characters - in this season wegot to learn a lot about all existing characters, we got introduced to a few new characters and main trio for this show got major character developments. It was quite enjoyable to learn more about others, especially about the detective character. You really get to like all of them, and that makes the show even more enjoyable. What some people would find disappointing is the lack of conflict between them, even if these is a bigger one here than it was in previous season, it is not one that lasts too long. Overall - all characters get extended lore and main trio gets special treatment. Story - unlike the 1st Season, which revolves around Nanakusa and Kou hanging out and messing around, this season is much more serious in tone. The detective is out to get vampires and Kou must intervene between them before things get out of control. All while helping Nazuna finding out about her own history. The story was quite interesting as we learn a lot of new things and the last few episodes have a lot of action and cliffhangers in them. In the end we get a setup for season 3, will they decide to pursue it or not remains to be seen. Overall - story is great, if you find 1st season a bit slow and boring this one will be quite refreshing to see. Overall grade - 9. I gave it a 10 as I personally enjoy it that much but 9 or 8.5 is realistic grade. Great and enjoyable show, would recommend to others to watch it. If there is ever S3 of this show I will watch it for sure.

The story should take a back seat. This anime is like a fine drink enjoyed by the sea at sunset on a summer evening, whether alone or with someone. A moment where time slows down, letting the mind drift gently with the breeze. The animation is beautiful, fluid, and elegant. The character designs are well-proportioned, the lighting plays with the night and its glow to further refine the artwork. It's simply beautiful. The choice of color palette fits the tone of the story perfectly. While not always realistic, the frequent use of purples in wide shots is truly pleasing. It's a modern-day world, reimagined with cyberpunk aesthetics— and it works brilliantly. The more dramatic scenes borrow from supernatural visual codes, and clearly, that hits the mark for us. The sound design is also very well crafted. It's coherent, rhythmic, and really amplifies the emotions the anime conveys. Naturally, the band Creepy Nuts adds a distinct and enjoyable touch that’s felt throughout the season. As for the story itself — it’s a mix of rom-com, drama, slice of life, and… vampires. Yeah, not the most convincing pitch when you put it like that. Meh, watch it anyway — and make sure to start with season 1!

It's a great continuation after season 1, there are twists and interesting storylines, answers to previous questions and new questions are thrown in too. There's not too much to write a review about, the quality remained the same, characters got more backstory, deepened their bond, all you could ask for. There could've been a bit more romance, but oh well. Anko enjoyed a ton of focus in season 2, and with her being a likeable character, it's more than fine. This season is definitely more emotional, more so than you would expect. It deals with many hard topics, sometimes seriously, sometimes casually, and I don't think itmissed a beat, which is commendable. If you watched season 1, you should definitely watch this too. There's nothing to add to this.

Call of the (2nd) Night — Love is (literally) both in the air and on the ground, but so does its survival? What the heck's going on? Ever since its lustrous premiere back in Summer 2022, mangaka Kotoyama's Yofukashi no Uta a.k.a. Call of the Night, has been one heck of a series that truly is multifaceted with its premise, combining both the rom-com aspect of the love between a human and a vampire, as well as its most prominent feature: the supernatural with nightly sceneries and a character crew of both races trying to thrive from their circumstances of how and why they came tobe. Need I mention the stellar production from director Tetsuya Miyanishi and his team at Liden Films for truly bringing their A-game in adapting the acclaimed shonen manga to the small screen? I guess not, if you've seen Season 1 for yourself. "Why?" being the question here for the much-anticipated sequel 3 years later, love itself has lots of hookers, but one such "hook, line, and sinker" that Season 2 brings to the table is the continuing journey to find compelling love in an environment where both the vampires and their affiliated humans encounter danger from someone trying to expose their kind to the unknowing public, all from life's fated unforgivings. With Season 2 continuing the adaptation from Volume 5 of the manga, Ko Yamori meets up with Nazuna Nanakusa's company of vampires and their turned humans, all in the quest to escape his humanity by becoming a vampire through loving her, though one question doesn't really pop up, or I guess, is a factor of the communal between the two races — if basking in sunlight is a natural danger to vampires, what else could be threatening them? And as they're soon about to find out, there's someone just like that, someone who opposes vampirism in the most ghast-like extremist ways possible, so much so that it leaves everyone scattering for survival. Yes, even Ko and Nazuna, who feel the most threatened by their pursuer — the chain-smoking vampire hunter Anko Uguisu, targeting the personal mementos of both vampires and their affiliated humans alike. The pursuit of the past becomes THE important identity for everyone involved if they want to survive against Anko's unpredictability and eliminate them in a quick and swift manner. If Season 1 is a loving thrill of fluttering romance, Season 2 is a supernatural thrill of absolute brute violence and the acknowledging of identities, especially for the vampires who were humans before their conversion alongside their partners (if there's any significance of worth). With Tomoyuki Itamura continuing the directorial work with Tetsuya Miyanishi's team alongside the anime's production at Liden Films, as the main director for the sequel, alongside the addition of Kazuki Adachi, AniManga veterans will inevitably recognize that both Itamura and Adachi are veteran mainstays of studio Shaft in the directorial and production aspects respectively. And their inclusion for Season 2 here improves upon the very foundations of the prior premiere season in both style and substance, amplifying the series on any chance they get to flex a Monogatari-esque style that adds depth and colour to the anime overall. It's certainly a shift in stylistic choices, and it helps to further define a show, which already is great in its own right. Liden Films's animation continues to be just as great as Season 1, and the series truly deserves the reputation that it got, not just as a standalone adaptation, but from an overall standpoint. Music composer Yoshiaki Dewa's OST composition continues its great emotional depth to the series, as do Creepy Nuts when it comes to solely and wholly owning the series with their banger OP/ED songs, even though Season 2's theme is more abstract and mellow with the shift in storytelling of the content itself. Still, you can never go wrong when it comes to Creepy Nuts, and their reputation is well deserved either way. What a great follow-up to an already great series to begin with, though we're only officially halfway through the manga's adaptation. Bring on more, please, because Yofukashi no Uta, a.k.a. Call of the Night's lore, only builds from here on out.

Review: Call of the Night Season 2 (much better than one frame man literal trash but still disappointing) Having adored Call of the Night’s first season, I walked into Season 2 with high hopes—perhaps too high. What made the original so special was its effortless charm: a fresh atmosphere, gorgeous neon-soaked art, and a laid-back, almost dreamy vibe that filled every episode with warmth. Unfortunately, Season 2 abandons much of that identity. It tries to reinvent itself into something darker, more serious, and “profound,” but the shift feels forced rather than natural. One of the biggest disappointments is the romance. Season 1 hinted at a slow, intriguingprogression that had real potential to blossom. Instead, Season 2 delivers almost nothing. Whenever it does attempt romantic development, it feels half-hearted and, frankly, dull. Characters who once felt lively and full of promise also suffer. Many of them lose the spark that made them interesting, becoming more like shadows of their Season 1 selves. The detective character, who initially seemed compelling, becomes the season’s biggest misfire. The writing around her feels like an unnecessary attempt at being “deep” or Shakespearean, but instead it comes across as pretentious and poorly executed. Despite these frustrations—especially the disaster that was Episode 10—I still give Season 2 a 3/10. The first few episodes were genuinely strong, and the art and animation remain stunning throughout, especially the color work reminiscent of Episode 1. But overall, this was a disappointing follow-up to a brilliant first season.

“Call of the Night Season 2,” are you the rare second season that is as good, if not better, than the first? From the perspective of an anime-only watcher, I think that the answer is yes. If season 1 of this show was about building up the vibes of the world, season 2 was about diving deep into the characters and the story. That might be controversial to some (especially those who preferred the slower pacing of the first season), but I loved it. By going full force into the plot, the show was able to keep me really engaged, and I think it didso without losing its signature atmosphere. This is particularly commendable because this season included a vital arc that took place over a particular holiday, priming itself for comparison to another second season of an anime that included a vital arc that took place over the same holiday. I won’t go into depth to avoid spoilers, but CotN S2 holds its own despite the clear and obvious comparison I’m alluding to. Overall, I had a really good time with this season, so much so that I’m tempted to pick up the manga and check out what all of the manga readers are claiming the anime lacked by speeding up the pacing. At the very least, it’ll hold me over until Nazuna and Kou are around again to explore another season of neon-colored nights with us.

Although I don't think this will get the buzz or recognition that it should - I do think that this show should strongly be in the running for Anime of the Year for 2025. From start to end, it is a great experience. It is Smart, Sexy, Serious but Silly, and stylish. The Animation is top notch, I love the use of lighting and colors; it really brought the night alive. The Music for the OP/EN are top notch. I usually find myself doing a quick skip on most to save time, but for this show, I always found myself watching and spotting thelittle eastereggs and nodding my head to the beats. The Story is great and the Characters are top notch. Nasuna is outstanding as usual, but the star of the show is The Detective. That's all I'll say to avoid spoilers, but this was probably the best arc in the manga, and to see it brought to Anime was a treat. Watch or regret it.

Man… Call of the Night Season 2 isn’t just a sequel — it’s a full-on sensory experience. This anime doesn’t just show the night — it makes you feel it. Every frame, every shimmer of neon, every quiet moment in the city streets feels alive. It’s like the whole show is whispering to you through the dark: “Stay a little longer… the night still has stories to tell.” The second season dives deeper into the emotional and psychological layers of the story. Kou’s journey isn’t just about becoming a vampire anymore — it’s about understanding loneliness, desire, and identity. His interactions with Nazuna are more mature,more intimate, and beautifully human. But let’s be real — the season’s absolute highlight is Anko. And here’s where I’ve got to say it loud: Miyuki Sawashiro absolutely CRUSHED this role. Her performance as Anko was phenomenal. Like, on another level. She didn’t just voice the character — she embodied her. Every line, every sigh, every subtle change in tone carried so much emotion. You could feel Anko’s exhaustion, her frustration, her pain — and that quiet strength buried underneath it all. Sawashiro’s voice acting was so nuanced that it made Anko one of the most compelling characters in the entire series. It’s the kind of performance that lingers with you long after the episode ends. So yeah — The soundtrack? Dreamy and hypnotic. The visuals? Pure night-time poetry. The characters? Complex and real. And Sawashiro Miyuki? Absolutely legendary. In the end, Call of the Night Season 2 isn’t just an anime about vampires — it’s a story about people searching for meaning in the quiet hours of the night. It reminds you that even in darkness, there’s beauty… and sometimes, that’s where we find ourselves the most.

'Call of the Night Season 2' is just as enjoyable as Season 1, and for some, it's better. § Studio and Staff ⚫ The original season of Call of the Night is one of the most popular and highly rated anime of LIDENFILMS, and Season 2 is even more popular. ⚫ I note how the director, Itamura Tomoyuki, originally worked at Studio SHAFT, so we see some wonderful visuals. Season 2 continues this. ⚫ Creepy Nuts continue to play the OP and ED this season. Whilst their songs in Season 1 sounded like a party, it is more mellow this time, and they sound like the last hour ofthat party. § Notes on the Story Here are the highlights of Season 2, the very things that make this worthwhile if you enjoyed Season 1. ⚫ Whilst the first season seemed to be a coming-of-age story for Kou, Season 2 feels more like testing Kou's commitment to his chosen path. ⚫ A mysterious supporting character is introduced. She doesn't seem to play a role in Season 2, but from spoilers I read, her actions led to the events in this season. Her exact role will be revealed, perhaps in Season 3, if ever there will be one. ⚫ We also see backstories for Nazuna's circle of vampire friends. ⚫ The identity of the detective, Uguisu Anko, is revealed, and she drives much of the plot of Season 2. ⚫ Related to Anko, Nazuna's true identity and origins are revealed. § Why Watch Season 2 If Season 1 seems more symbolic, this one feels more concrete as we get to know more about the characters. There is action, and you can feel some tension as the episodes approach the climax, which leads to a beautiful conclusion involving reconciliation. Season 1 shows how beautiful the night can be. Season 2, however, shows what makes life worth living. NOTA BENE: A grade of 7 out of 10 means that I find this anime is very good and two notches above average. I enjoyed watching it. It is a high score. It's not mid or average, unlike the misconception of some people on this site. My enjoyment spectrum lies from 4 to 10. If I have scored an anime below 4, I actively dislike it.

Wow. This blew me away, compared to season 1. If season one was the equivalent of a generic romance anime, this is the exact opposite. Hell, in some moments the anime doesn`t even feel like a romance. The characters here are really well written, and the animation is better. I could go on and ramble a lot about the characters, but than it would be spoilers. The soundtrack I think is a bit worse, not a fan of the new ending, yet it still manages to compliment the anime really nice. I originally had this at a 10/10, but I reduced it to a 9/10 because pacingissues, mainly backstory.

There’s a special kind of magic to Call of the Night, that quiet, late-night vibe where everything feels just a little more alive. From the very first episode, it pulls you into this intoxicating world of glowing city lights, humid summer air, and the stillness of midnight streets. Directors Tomoyuki Itamura, Tetsuya Miyanishi, and the insanely talented team at LIDEN FILMS absolutely nailed the mood. The colour palette bursts with neon purples, deep blues, and electric pinks; every frame looks like it was painted straight out of a dream. The direction is smooth, confident, and full of personality, making even the simplest moments feel cinematic.It’s one of those rare shows where you can pause at any second and get a wallpaper-worthy shot. The art and animation are simply stunning; they don’t just depict the night, they breathe it. And speaking of breathing life into the night, the soundtrack is a masterpiece in itself. Creepy Nuts, who provide both the opening and ending themes, perfectly capture that mix of calm confidence and late-night melancholy the show thrives on. Their music feels like it was written for the streets Kou wanders, smooth, moody, and endlessly replayable. The background score by Yoshiaki Dewa adds an emotional depth that sneaks up on you, giving the quiet moments real weight. Together, the sound and visuals create a hypnotic atmosphere, a vibe that stays with you for a very long time! But what really makes Call of the Night special is its cast of characters. Every single one of them feels layered and real, not just archetypes but fully realized people with fears, quirks, and insecurities. Even though many are vampires, they feel more human than most humans you see in anime. Kou Yamori, the night owl who just can’t fit into the rhythm of daylight society, is the emotional core of it all. His search for meaning and his urge to escape the emptiness of everyday life hit close to home for me. Nazuna, on the other hand, is this chaotic, carefree, yet deeply lonely presence, embodying both freedom and vulnerability. Every side character adds their own perspective and depth to the story, giving the narrative this rich, interconnected feel. It’s a show where every conversation and every relationship feels like it matters. Honestly, Call of the Night hit me in ways I didn’t expect. There’s something about it that goes beyond the stunning animation or the beautifully drawn cityscapes — it feels like it understands what it’s like to drift through life, searching for meaning in the quiet moments. Watching Kou and Nazuna, I kept thinking about those nights when everything else fades away, and you’re left with your own thoughts and solitude, yet somehow it feels alive and full of possibility. The show reminded me that it’s okay not to have all the answers, and that sometimes the most important thing is just to exist; to notice the fleeting beauty, the little connections, and the moments that make life feel worth living. Yofukashi no Uta isn’t just about vampires or romance; it’s about that longing for purpose, freedom, and a place where you truly feel at home. For me, it stayed with me long after the city lights went out, like a quiet whisper that lingers, reminding you to keep searching and savour the night!

What a departure from the first season in terms of emotional depth and stakes! Truthfully, I was hesitant to even start this show because the first season, while fun, didn’t offer much outside of eye candy and ann occasional laugh or cute moment. However, starting this season, I remembered immediately what drew me to this story beyond the stunning backdrops. Nazuna, as cute-iful, funny, and unhinged as she is, wasn’t actually the glue for this season. The real champion was Yamori Ko with his naive charm and hopeful innocence. This season did a proper job fleshing out the entire supporting cast of vampires as well-giving important exposition to the ladies that surround Nazuna’s, and now Ko’s, life. The first season was a journey of adolescence focused on fitting into society and whether that’s even necessary at all while this second season moves on to more adult lessons about confronting your past and how not all endings are happy, but also that it’s never too late to turn things around. Definitely worth watching. Yofukashi no Uta Season 2: solid 8/10

The vibe’s still nocturnal, but the magic kinda overslept. 🌙 THE “STILL COOL BUT… WHY AM I NOT FEELING IT?” PACKAGE: Let’s be real this anime still looks gorgeous. The OP? i mean come on it's creepy-nuts Straight-up god tier. The atmosphere? A glowing neon masterpiece. The start even had that same electric “night freedom” energy that made Season 1 so special at least to me. But then… something kinda dimmed ? 😴 THE “IT’S NOT YOU, IT’S ME… OR IS IT?” ENERGY: Maybe I’ve changed. Maybe it has. Either way, the spark just doesn’t hit like before. The story drifts not badly, but aimlessly.Every episode feels like it’s chasing the old magic and tripping over its own vibes wich it doesn't need to . You keep waiting for that emotional bite, eventully there is something but it just… hums softly instead in most cases. 🦇 THE “STILL GOT STYLE THOUGH” DEPARTMENT: The music? Unmatched game the same. The lighting and color work? Chef’s kiss. And the cast is still lovable in that weird, vampire-hipster way. But damn, if only the pacing and focus matched the aesthetic. 🎯 FINAL VERDICT: It’s like your favorite bar still open, still playing your song, but the bartender changed and something in the air feels off. Watch if: You crave late-night neon melancholy and still hum the OP like a prayer. Skip if: You need the plot to actually do something relevent or can’t survive on pure vibes and nostalgia alone. Best paired with: 🧃 A can of energy drink, lo-fi beats, and the faint feeling that you’re missing something you can’t name.

Story (6): Not gonna lie, this season has been a bit of a downturn compared to the previous one. Season 1 certainly explained the initial plot points. Season 2 explores the vampires' pasts, but it's a bit boring. Season 1 felt like they were peacefully vibing around at night, but I don't feel that way this season. I just hope the next season can bounce back. Characters (7): It was okay, but I was a bit disappointed with the detective. In Season 1, she looked badass, but this season, she's like a wannabe badass, but in a childish way. It's a bit cringe-worthy. What really caught my attentionwas the new character named Kiku; you could feel how scary she is. VIsual (9): Still a banger, especially for this night slice of life that it looks like a synthwave or retromusic Audio (8): Not a big fan of the OP & Ending, But it's okay tho

The first season was fantastic and I cannot help but to feel a bit disappointed that most of the stuff I loved about it is replaced with a cookie-cutter mystery and (admittedly well written) drama. It is still a good show don't get me wrong. I just miss the vibes of the first season and the exploration of freedom that you feel while strolling around at night. In my opinion, we lost more than we gained with this shift of focus. I am not saying that you will not find anything of value in season two. The characters are still wonderful and full of personality.The soundtrack is amazing as expected. The designs of the characters are fantastic too. But if you are like me and find the heart of the show to be nightlife and the freedom it provides, you might be disappointed with what you get. Or you might just find the new themes and more of a focus on the plotline to be just as compelling? Who knows. I just know that for a person that wanted to be enveloped in the vibes of the night like me, it was a downgrade from season one. If you are wondering what I gave the first season, it was a 10/10. You can see why I am disappointed here hopefully.

I find it amazing how Yofukashi has become one of my favorite romance anime because it’s just so good, seriously, I don’t even have anything to complain about. First, the anime keeps its incredible vibe and aesthetic just like in the first season, but what I really want to highlight is how narratively this second season developed the story way more than the first. And damn, Anko is such a brilliantly written and deep character — without a doubt, she’s my favorite. And this opening, what a beautiful thing. I don’t think I skipped it even once, which is really rare for me — usually I listenjust once and then always skip, but this one was impossible to skip. I’m super excited for them to announce the third season, I really hope it doesn’t take too long. 🧛‍♀️

For nocturnal souls who love vibes with plot The show excels in its moody, neon-lit visuals, perfectly capturing the allure of nighttime and the freedom it represents. The plot is original unlike other vampire animes and vampire fantasy + romance is always a weak point for sol lovers . They don't even need to look at premise . Other important factor that makes this show good is collab with national artists for ed and op songs . I really liked creepy nut music lietrally a blend of hip hop with japanese tales . Now the main problem is that lack of chapters for season3 . I have genuine doubts regarding production of next season .Hope so, we can witness a complete package of story even though i know some of the manga portion so, kinda dissapointed too. Don't wanna spoil so, ending this review here . Hope , you guys enjoyed . Eternal nights with endless emotions .

I almost gave up on this anime in season 1. I watched the last episode a few weeks after it aired. I thought season 1 was ok, but it didn't leave me craving for a season 2. I was coming with the same expectations of season 1, it felt like a cozy, nightlife, slice of life/romance anime, which isn't really a concept that I've ever seen before. I wasn't expecting much out of it, but even though I had low expectations at the beginning, I kept raising my expectations as the show went on. Surprisingly, the show exceeded my expectations when it came to thestory, dialogue, direction, enjoyment and music. Story-8/10 Call of the Night, season 2, focuses on Nazuna's past and how she was able to meet a certain someone, and how she became a vampire. It also focuses on how that certain someone's past and how she gained animosity towards vampires. It all led up to something that happened on Halloween. Characters-8/10 Characters like Nazuna, Yamori, and the detective really carry the show. There has been a lot of character development at the end of the show, but I can't really say what happened since I'm avoiding spoilers. If you don't think these characters changed at the end, then you simply don't know anything about character development. I'm giving it an 8 because although these 3 characters are solid (they're the characters with the most screentime as welll), the side characters are kind of lacking; they're one-dimensional. Music-10/10 It's creepy nuts, you can't go wrong with creepy nuts. The opening was great, and the ending is more like rap, but it actually got me hooked. The ending is extremely underrated due to the message. The soundtrack is amazing as well, and they brought back the 1st ending on the last episode. Enjoyment-9/10 Surprisingly, I was not bored when I was watching this; it felt like a whole different show when compared to the 1st season. Overall-9/10 I do recommend everyone who has watched the first season to watch this because it's really worth it; it does compete with the top shows that are airing this season.

Going into this season, it always felt like a "go with the flow" kind of show where you don't really have to pay that much attention to what's going on and just indulged in the fun moments it had to offer. It started to feel like a drag towards the end, even though it's supposed to be the climax of the season. I loved learning more about the other vampires and getting a look into their lives. Seeing Yamori and Nazuna's dynamic is always funny too. The semi-sarcastic gags usually never fail to make me laugh, but that mainly applied to the first half of theseason. The production value is there for sure. The vampires are always looking pretty and doing flashy poses. There was some action that was well-animated too. Overall, I had a lot of fun earlier in the season when the story mainly took a backseat, but it in the frame just enough for the season not to feel directionless. My feelings started to change towards the end of the season, when there is a confrontation with the current antagonist. It feels like all the stakes that the character brought just weren't there, even before the confrontation began. It seems like they just did ONE interesting and threatening thing in the first season (and the start of this season), then just made them play a bunch of mind games to the point where they don't even achieve anything meaningful. Everything they do towards the end will just leave you confused and maybe invested as if they were enacting some intricate scheme until they actually reveal what's actually happening. I can understand why this is supposed to be in character, it just didn't feel very convincing. It didn't feel like there was a huge payoff. In the end, this character failed to make an impression. After I started feeling that way, I just enjoyed the later episodes less (including the gags). So, overall, I think the first half of the season was more fun than the latter.

There are two ways to look at Call of the Night Season 2. From a purely anime perspective, it's a continuation of more of the same vampires in the night aesthetic, with Yamori taking solace in it. It does this all while introducing a more serious dark tone. The anime did a good job redefining and then resolving the promises continuing from the previous season and made at the beginning of this one. The other perspective that is the one I align with, is that the creative liberty was taken to speed up the pacing of the story by leaving out most of the nightschool events in the manga to its own detriment. The finale becomes devalued by removing much of the emotional connections the central characters had with one another, as well as the symbolic importance of the Literature Club room for Yamori. The anime achieved this by essentially deleting the character Rila. There's only so much that can be done in 12 episodes. So, while I'm able to rationally understand, emotionally I disagree with the decision to have it pack less of a punch.

Season 2 is very different beast to season 1, it's full of mysteries and revelations, love and hate, depression and salvation. It truly was enjoyable watch from beginning to end. Animation and music - both are great. OP and ED were nice, but the main song that still echoes for this series is Loss Time by Creepy Nuts. Animation is phenomenal, there was not a moment I noticed that something was badly animated. The background, the fighting scenes and the emotional scenes are all feast for the eyes. Overall - both animation and music are great. A treat for eyes and ears. Characters - in this season wegot to learn a lot about all existing characters, we got introduced to a few new characters and main trio for this show got major character developments. It was quite enjoyable to learn more about others, especially about the detective character. You really get to like all of them, and that makes the show even more enjoyable. What some people would find disappointing is the lack of conflict between them, even if these is a bigger one here than it was in previous season, it is not one that lasts too long. Overall - all characters get extended lore and main trio gets special treatment. Story - unlike the 1st Season, which revolves around Nanakusa and Kou hanging out and messing around, this season is much more serious in tone. The detective is out to get vampires and Kou must intervene between them before things get out of control. All while helping Nazuna finding out about her own history. The story was quite interesting as we learn a lot of new things and the last few episodes have a lot of action and cliffhangers in them. In the end we get a setup for season 3, will they decide to pursue it or not remains to be seen. Overall - story is great, if you find 1st season a bit slow and boring this one will be quite refreshing to see. Overall grade - 9. I gave it a 10 as I personally enjoy it that much but 9 or 8.5 is realistic grade. Great and enjoyable show, would recommend to others to watch it. If there is ever S3 of this show I will watch it for sure.

The story should take a back seat. This anime is like a fine drink enjoyed by the sea at sunset on a summer evening, whether alone or with someone. A moment where time slows down, letting the mind drift gently with the breeze. The animation is beautiful, fluid, and elegant. The character designs are well-proportioned, the lighting plays with the night and its glow to further refine the artwork. It's simply beautiful. The choice of color palette fits the tone of the story perfectly. While not always realistic, the frequent use of purples in wide shots is truly pleasing. It's a modern-day world, reimagined with cyberpunk aesthetics— and it works brilliantly. The more dramatic scenes borrow from supernatural visual codes, and clearly, that hits the mark for us. The sound design is also very well crafted. It's coherent, rhythmic, and really amplifies the emotions the anime conveys. Naturally, the band Creepy Nuts adds a distinct and enjoyable touch that’s felt throughout the season. As for the story itself — it’s a mix of rom-com, drama, slice of life, and… vampires. Yeah, not the most convincing pitch when you put it like that. Meh, watch it anyway — and make sure to start with season 1!

It's a great continuation after season 1, there are twists and interesting storylines, answers to previous questions and new questions are thrown in too. There's not too much to write a review about, the quality remained the same, characters got more backstory, deepened their bond, all you could ask for. There could've been a bit more romance, but oh well. Anko enjoyed a ton of focus in season 2, and with her being a likeable character, it's more than fine. This season is definitely more emotional, more so than you would expect. It deals with many hard topics, sometimes seriously, sometimes casually, and I don't think itmissed a beat, which is commendable. If you watched season 1, you should definitely watch this too. There's nothing to add to this.

Call of the (2nd) Night — Love is (literally) both in the air and on the ground, but so does its survival? What the heck's going on? Ever since its lustrous premiere back in Summer 2022, mangaka Kotoyama's Yofukashi no Uta a.k.a. Call of the Night, has been one heck of a series that truly is multifaceted with its premise, combining both the rom-com aspect of the love between a human and a vampire, as well as its most prominent feature: the supernatural with nightly sceneries and a character crew of both races trying to thrive from their circumstances of how and why they came tobe. Need I mention the stellar production from director Tetsuya Miyanishi and his team at Liden Films for truly bringing their A-game in adapting the acclaimed shonen manga to the small screen? I guess not, if you've seen Season 1 for yourself. "Why?" being the question here for the much-anticipated sequel 3 years later, love itself has lots of hookers, but one such "hook, line, and sinker" that Season 2 brings to the table is the continuing journey to find compelling love in an environment where both the vampires and their affiliated humans encounter danger from someone trying to expose their kind to the unknowing public, all from life's fated unforgivings. With Season 2 continuing the adaptation from Volume 5 of the manga, Ko Yamori meets up with Nazuna Nanakusa's company of vampires and their turned humans, all in the quest to escape his humanity by becoming a vampire through loving her, though one question doesn't really pop up, or I guess, is a factor of the communal between the two races — if basking in sunlight is a natural danger to vampires, what else could be threatening them? And as they're soon about to find out, there's someone just like that, someone who opposes vampirism in the most ghast-like extremist ways possible, so much so that it leaves everyone scattering for survival. Yes, even Ko and Nazuna, who feel the most threatened by their pursuer — the chain-smoking vampire hunter Anko Uguisu, targeting the personal mementos of both vampires and their affiliated humans alike. The pursuit of the past becomes THE important identity for everyone involved if they want to survive against Anko's unpredictability and eliminate them in a quick and swift manner. If Season 1 is a loving thrill of fluttering romance, Season 2 is a supernatural thrill of absolute brute violence and the acknowledging of identities, especially for the vampires who were humans before their conversion alongside their partners (if there's any significance of worth). With Tomoyuki Itamura continuing the directorial work with Tetsuya Miyanishi's team alongside the anime's production at Liden Films, as the main director for the sequel, alongside the addition of Kazuki Adachi, AniManga veterans will inevitably recognize that both Itamura and Adachi are veteran mainstays of studio Shaft in the directorial and production aspects respectively. And their inclusion for Season 2 here improves upon the very foundations of the prior premiere season in both style and substance, amplifying the series on any chance they get to flex a Monogatari-esque style that adds depth and colour to the anime overall. It's certainly a shift in stylistic choices, and it helps to further define a show, which already is great in its own right. Liden Films's animation continues to be just as great as Season 1, and the series truly deserves the reputation that it got, not just as a standalone adaptation, but from an overall standpoint. Music composer Yoshiaki Dewa's OST composition continues its great emotional depth to the series, as do Creepy Nuts when it comes to solely and wholly owning the series with their banger OP/ED songs, even though Season 2's theme is more abstract and mellow with the shift in storytelling of the content itself. Still, you can never go wrong when it comes to Creepy Nuts, and their reputation is well deserved either way. What a great follow-up to an already great series to begin with, though we're only officially halfway through the manga's adaptation. Bring on more, please, because Yofukashi no Uta, a.k.a. Call of the Night's lore, only builds from here on out.
