If you liked the first one or thought it was fun, the first 3 episodes will be a good place to stop. Rewatch Value 5.0 In short: Don't waste your time unless you are a fan of AKB48 and all of their many incarnations. Sidenote: You don't have to know anything about AKB48 going into this series.
Oh, and did I mention there is no Daruma? That alone earns it an extra point. As long as you don't go into it expecting it to be the same as season 1. I can say however that it improved on nearly every aspect. I can't really get in more on why I found Majisuka Gakuen 2 better than it's predecessor (and ultimately one of my favorite shows) without spoiling plot points and events. We get to understand the struggle of both the bad guys and the good guys and at the end of the day, everyone is likable in their own way. The focus is better for someting with such a large cast since instead of following a set main character, it switches alot more between different persons and that gives more understanding of the various people too. And without spoiling anything I can say the school itself get's more internal trouble when the seniors from season 1 graduated. They become real people instead of the over the top versions. We get alot more character development from people like Gekikara and Nezumi (the two that lack it the most in season 1). Majisuka 2 also had elements of Crows Zero 2, with schools fighting each other. As for the storyline, I felt that season 1 was basically a "Crows Zero" but with girls. Honestly not a major point for me, it was fine enough the first time around. The fighting is improved to start things off.
Why is this better then? Let me tell you what I think. You could I guess, but alot would be lost on you in terms of relationships/characters and events. Let's start of by saying you shouldn't jump into this unless you've seen season 1. I don't for many reasons, even though I loved the first one loads too. Many people consider the first Majisuka Gakuen (first season) to be better. Rewatch Value 10 So, after reading the other reviews here I felt obligated to write my own as this is one of my favorite shows.
