The war against the Empire was brutal, and in the final barbaric act, the slain Emperor's body was cut apart, with the Heroes who slew him each taking home a grisly trophy. Yet while the heroes returned in glory, many of those who fought beneath them were left to fend for themselves in a world that no longer needed their skills. So, when former saboteurs Toru and Akari encounter a strange young girl carrying a giant coffin, they soon find themselves joining her odd mission: to retrieve all of the pieces of the Emperor's body. But why is she collecting them and who is this girl? The dead Emperor's daughter, perhaps? Or, as other girls also carrying coffins are spotted across the lands, could she be a vanguard of something far more sinister? (Sentai Filmworks)

Avenging Battle (2014) (S02)
If you liked the first season and where others saw weaknesses, you found only strengths, you will adore the second season. If you want action and suspense, it is no problem, and if you want more interesting characters, there are enough of them. If you want Chaika, she is there in spades because there is never enough of Chaika! In other words, the second season is not only as good as the first one, However, because of the gradual unfolding of the narrative and the answers to some questions (which only bring new ones), it surpasses it. The only real shame is the somewhat rushed and unfinished conclusion because as excellent as the penultimate episode was, they managed to undo the good work in the last one. In other words, it has its quirks, but the moment Chaika starts talking in that weird style of hers, I pretty much start not to care. 9/10.
