Is it genius performance art that the story about adventurers wandering into a cave that gets progressively more hosed up and horrifying but they keep going on because their intrepid curiosity compels them, is also a manga where every story arc becomes more progressively hosed up and gross but I keep reading because I want to find out what's at that god damned bottom? I think we all know the answer to this.

the manga was named after the song so makes sense they'd use it in the anime

Arsnotoria is a very strange series, but it seems very in tune with the video game that it's adapted from. The video game is a mobile RPG. Here's a video of the gameplay which doesn't really explain much about the game, but sorta explains the dissonance.

Does MiA season 2 recap the movie or do I still need to get to watching it?

no most isekai series just started as self-published web novels published by horny dudes hence you get stuff like that

also this one is like The self-published web novel by a horny author, the web novel started in '11 and then the next year got ln art by the fmp illustrator. it popularized the kind of isekai where 90% of the experience is alternating between jrpg menus and harem sex

Correct. It's literally just the arc immediately following season 1 as a movie instead of part of a TV season.

Call of the Night - 14yo boy meets Manic Vampire Dream Girl
Legit though, it's a pretty fun series and it starts off with some silly hijinks before it starts introducing Mahiru's friends and Nazuna "Friends". I'm pretty certain I know where the series is gonna end at which is a pretty good stopping point all things considered but it's pretty much the end of the arc before the current one so if it turns out fantastic, I wouldn't expect an S2 for at least a year or two.

I figured they'd skip at least the latest showing since their opening premise is "schoolgirls shoot bad people to make Japan a more peaceful society"

It remains to be seen if they'll keep airing the show.

I might have misunderstood this twitter post as them re-airing episode 1:
https://twitter.com/lycoris_recoil/status/1545022102579073024

But that might just be the regular first airing on that station?

SD Gundam actually one-upped that, if you can believe it. The seventh episode, airing in January 2020, was called "Yellow Pandemic".

Not much of a surprise that the next episode was delayed for a year.

Well the tweet was several hours before the shooting ever happened, so it's definitely not related. And the website has a post dated July 8 with details on when episode 2 airs.
