I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince Season 2: Magic, Mischief, and No Rush to Save the World

Let’s cut to the chase—if you’re tired of isekai shows where the main character has to defeat a demon king or save the universe within the first three episodes, Season 2 of I Was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince so I Can Take My Time Perfecting My Magical Ability is a breath of fresh air. This isn’t a show about big, world-ending stakes; it’s about a guy who just wants to get really good at magic—slowly, and with a lot of silly detours along the way.

For those who missed Season 1: Lloyd, a former talentless sorcerer from our world, dies and is reborn as the 7th prince of a magical kingdom. Unlike most isekai protagonists, he doesn’t get a cheat code or instant power—instead, he gets the chance to learn magic properly, without the pressure of being next in line for the throne (thank goodness for being the 7th kid). Season 2 picks up right where the first left off: Lloyd is still geeking out over every new spell, annoying his tutors with his unorthodox experiments, and accidentally causing chaos in the palace. Remember that time he turned the royal garden into a giant jellybean forest? Season 2 has even more of that energy. One episode finds Lloyd trying to master transformation magic—only to turn himself into a fluffy orange cat. Cue 20 minutes of him dodging the palace’s overzealous dog squad, hiding under the queen’s dress, and realizing that being a cat means he can steal treats from the kitchen without getting caught (win-win, honestly). Another episode features him testing a floating spell on the palace library’s books—resulting in a tornado of novels that sends the head librarian screaming for cover. These moments are silly, yes, but they’re also why the show works: it doesn’t take itself too seriously.

The animation this season is just as vibrant as the first. Tsumugi Akita Animation Lab knows how to make magic look fun—whether it’s Lloyd’s sparkly fireballs or the way his water spells twist into cute shapes (he once made a water dragon that sneezed and soaked his tutor). The colors are bright, the character designs are chibi and adorable, and the action scenes (when they happen) are easy to follow. No shaky cam or confusing angles here—perfect for younger viewers who just want to see cool magic.

The music is another highlight. The opening theme, “Magic Slow Burn” (a catchy, poppy track), will get stuck in your head for days. The background music during magic training scenes is playful and light, and the sad moments (like when Lloyd fails a spell for the 10th time) have soft, gentle tunes that make you feel for him. The voice acting is on point too—Lloyd’s voice actor, who sounds like a hyperactive kid with a love for all things magical, makes every line feel genuine. You can almost hear the excitement in his voice when he finally nails a new spell.

What do fans think? Even without specific comments, it’s easy to guess: people love the show’s laid-back vibe. Unlike other isekai where the main character is always in danger, Lloyd gets to take his time. He’s not saving the world—he’s just a kid (well, a reincarnated adult in a kid’s body) who wants to get better at something he loves. That’s relatable to anyone who’s ever tried to learn a new skill, whether it’s playing an instrument or mastering a video game. Fans also appreciate the lack of romance (so far)—this is a show about magic and friendship, not love triangles.

Of course, the show isn’t perfect. Some episodes drag a bit—like the one where Lloyd spends an hour trying to fix a broken magic wand. And if you’re looking for deep, complex storytelling, this isn’t the show for you. But that’s okay! Sometimes you don’t want to think—you just want to watch a guy turn into a cat and cause trouble.

So who should watch this? If you’re into shows like Mushoku Tensei but want less drama and more silly magic tricks, or if you loved The Rising of the Shield Hero but wish it was more about learning than fighting, give Season 2 a shot. It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s fun, cute, and exactly what you need when you want to unwind with some magical mischief.

In short: Grab your favorite snack, sit back, and watch Lloyd turn the royal palace into his personal magic lab. You won’t regret it. Whether he’s turning into a cat, making books float, or annoying his tutors, Lloyd’s adventures are sure to put a smile on your face. This is the kind of show that reminds you to take your time and enjoy the journey—even if you’re just trying to master a spell that doesn’t burn down the kitchen. So go ahead, press play, and let the magic begin!
