THE SUMMER 2024 ANIME PREVIEW GUIDE
SHY SEASON 2

Jul 1st 2024


HOW WOULD YOU RATE EPISODE 13 OF
SHY (TV 2) ?

COMMUNITY SCORE: 3.5


--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


WHAT IS THIS?

© 実樹ぶきみ(秋田書店)/SHY製作委員会

The Tokyo Recapture Arc begins.

Shy has grown a little after fighting the "Amarariruku" led by the mysterious
boy Stigma. When she returns to Japan, she meets Ai Tennōji, a girl who has run
away from her ninja village. She tells Shy that she left the village chasing a
member of the "Amarariruku." Amidst all of this, Tokyo is suddenly enveloped in
a black ball and disappears. The heroes are dispatched to rescue Tokyo.

SHY Season 2 is based on a manga of the same name by Bukimi Miki. The anime
series is streaming on Crunchyroll on Mondays.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------


HOW WAS THE FIRST EPISODE?

Rating:


Shy is back with a new season. While the first season was a show I wanted to
like a little more than I ultimately did, I still had a pretty good time with
it, so I'm certainly down for getting more of it. Unfortunately, this new season
is off to a bit of a slow start as it is mainly reintroducing each of the heroes
to the audience—and when I say mainly, I mean half the episode. The refresher is
certainly appreciated as it's been long enough since I went through the first
season that I forgot who some of these characters were. However, since Shy and
Spirit were the only heroes who've gotten any major focus to this point, the
rest don't feel like they have too much going for them yet beyond their
archetypes, so I don't feel like it was really worth spending so much of the
episode spotlighting them.

Thankfully, the back half is a bit more interesting as Shy's earlier heroics
leads to a reporter taking interest in her for an interview. Of course, since
Shy is, well…still pretty shy even after last season's character development,
that goes about as well as you'd expect—but her earnestness does end up
reigniting the reporter's passion for their job after getting a little burned
out. It's cute, but not quite compelling enough to make up for how boring the
first half of the episode was. Luckily, the episode at least teased some
potentially exciting stuff coming down the line this season as our villain group
of evil children is still busy plotting their next move in the background—and a
mysterious new girl also seems to be after Shy for some unknown reason but all
of that only really comes in during the last few minutes. As it stands, if
you're already invested in Shy by this point, there's nothing in this premiere
that should ruin that for you but this definitely wasn't the most exciting note
to start on. Hopefully, the rest of the season picks up sooner rather than
later.

While I wasn't expecting this second season to start off with a bang – SHY had
its dramatic highs but was always more subdued than other superhero fare – I
can't say I expected something this low-key. You could pretty fairly call this
episode a glorified recap, with the first half of the premiere doing little more
than reintroducing us to the major heroes and introducing exactly one new
character – the American hero, Century. The narration tries to justify it by
saying it's been a "long time" since season one, but if you have a memory that
goes back more than six months and can remember the handful of heroes our
protagonist teamed up with last season, most of this is superfluous padding.

The second half is a little more engaging, even if it mostly exists to remind us
who Teru/Shy is and just how bashful she gets around anyone who isn't Iko.
However, the setup of Teru being interviewed by a journalist also feels like
something out of a recap episode. It does, at least, remind us that it's not
Teru's superpowers or high-stakes escapades that made her such a charming lead
in season one but her relatable yet inspirational mix of anxiety and
determination to help others. It's not anything new or astounding, but if we're
going to spend a whole episode getting reacquainted with the cast, I'd rather it
be through this rather than an extended montage of everyone doing Superhero
Things. SHY has an earnest and lovable heart at its center, and there's
definitely some value to seeing that play out in small, personal ways alongside
the superhero dramatics.

Still, if you got hooked on SHY last season and were hoping to pick up where it
left off, it's probably best to wait until next week. The only hint at what's
coming next for these characters is at the very end. Everything else is just
fluff that is cute enough but doesn't do anything to intrigue you about this new
season. At least the anime staff's dedication to shipping Teru and Iku is as
blatant as ever, so make sure those yuri goggles are clean and secure.

Outside of My Hero Academia and Tiger & Bunny, superhero anime shows that fit
the Western mold for the genre aren't all that common. Shy's first cour from
Fall 2023 was a competent, fun take on the standard superhero origin story, with
a sweet, empathetic main middle school-aged character determined to do her best
in her secret superhero identity, despite her crippling social anxiety.

In this second cour, Shy (real name Teru Momijiyama) seems more firmly
established as Japan's named hero. I don't think it's been explained to viewers
yet why countries have only one superhero, nor quite what the selection criteria
are. We're reacquainted with civvies-wearing Teru as she leaves the house for a
morning jog, but she can't help but run into trouble – this time transforming in
time to prevent a little girl from taking a one-way Truck-kun-induced trip to
isekai-land.

While Shy's super heroics are of the down-to-earth friendly neighborhood
variety, the first half of this episode reintroduces the eclectic international
cast – from Switzerland's hero Piltz Dunant (Lady Black) on a humanitarian aid
mission in a flooded city, to perpetually- inebriated Russian hero Pepesha
Andreanova (Spirit), British rock star hero and philanthropist Davie John
(Stardust), and androgynous Chinese martial artist Ming Ming Li (Mian Long). We
even meet the USA's own horn-wearing hero, who I don't recall seeing in the
first cour. With so many short scenes jumping around from place to place, this
section is somewhat dizzying and disjointed, but it's a good idea to showcase
everyone's personality and powers before the next story arc kicks into gear.

The second half of the episode mostly focuses on Shy's semi-disastrous interview
with a newbie journalist who struggles to get the timid hero to give more than
one-word answers. It's only when Shy turns the tables and starts asking her
interviewer questions that the ice is broken. Shy's such a nice, genuine girl
that her very mundanity inspires others; she's so relatable.

Shy works because Teru herself is a delight. Despite her shyness, she wears her
heart on her sleeve. She seeks genuine connection with people and truly desires
to help them. This first episode does a great job of re-establishing her and her
place in the world while also giving the briefest of teases at a new female
character who looks to be a new antagonist… or another hero? It's hard to tell.
The first cour explored some surprisingly mature and emotional subject matter,
so I'll be sticking around to see what Shy does next.
