At times it felt like they were trying to cram a 13-episode series into 45 minutes of air time. Munto 2 ends on a cliffhanger, but that's good because it means there should be a Munto 3 and 4 to finish out the story and give it the time it deserves. I liked the animation and the characters in the original Munto--if you liked the parts with Yumemi and her friends, that's developed more in Munto 2 as well. Yumemi and Munto have still had barely any screentime together, but I'm guessing the next installment of the series will change that. Now the question is when will Kyoani work on more Munto, given everything else on their plate lately, we may be in for a long wait...

The sequel isn't any better story-wise, perhaps the opposite as it focuses on the kingdom more... This being, I believe, the only original Kyoto Animation work isn't impressive at all. Quite disappointing actually. IMHO the R1 DVD of Munto has crap video quality and is not worth the 10 bucks. :P
