About The Eccentric Family 2

Here is what The Eccentric Family 2 (Uchouten Kazoku 2) is about, retold in plain terms: a fantasy, comedy and slice of life anime by P.A. Works (2017). The setup: After uncovering the truth behind their father's untimely death, life for the four Shimogamo brothers returns to relative peace with each trying to live up to their father's greatness in their own way. For the eldest, Yaichirou, who aims to become the next Trick Magister and leader of the tanuki society, it sets off with reinstating the popular shogi tournament.

Along the way, for Yajirou, it is restoring his former shapeshifting abilities, whilst little Yashirou is content with continuing his work at the family’s factory. For the third son, Yasaburou, it simply means embracing the "fool's blood" he inherited from his father and living a carefree but interesting life. This, of course, includes hunting for the mysterious and elusive snake-like creature known as a tsuchinoko, and causing ripples of trouble at every turn.

As a fantasy title, world-building, magic systems and creature design set the tone. If you count yourself among fans of magic, kingdoms and invented worlds, put it on your list.
