Episode 2 of Engage Kiss is a mixed bag. The animation is still excellent, the comedy has its moments, and the worldbuilding hints at a more interesting story underneath the harem antics. But the pacing slows down, Shu remains difficult to like, and the episode doesn't deliver the same punch as the premiere. If you enjoyed the first episode's chaotic energy, this one will keep you on board. If you were already struggling with Shu, it won't change your mind.
