Summary:
Sequel to Sekai-ichi Hatsukoi... Onodera Ritsu has just transferred from his father's publishing company to Marukawa Shoten. Assigned to the shoujo manga division, he crosses path with the person he'd least expected to meet. Takano Masamune is the editor-in-chief of the division Ritsu's been assigned to, and the two seem get off on the wrong foot right from the very start when Takano unexpectedly KISSES him! It turns out Takano is actually Ritsu's senpai and high school lover... (WARNING, content includes BL)
Not for those uncomfortable with BL. Don't watch, don't judge, and don't blame me if you decide to read on.
Story: The continuation of its first season with its three sub-stories. Same old characters with new small problems, the same partly quite funny interaction, and still essentially a feel-good anime, sweet like a cup of sugar and just as predictable but nonetheless enjoyable. Second season, but seeing as both are short, it doesn't get old. Sticks to the manga, although it still doesn't receive complete closure -- there could easily be a third season from the looks of it, but who knows whether that's going to happen.
Dialogue: A bit too sugary-sweet here or there for me to give it a perfect score, but essentially, it's the same old with good flow, its dose of humour, its small clichéd moments, and doesn't get too old.
Animation: Same up-to-date as in the first season; only the music isn't always aptly timed, and the opening sounds like it came straight from an action anime. O.O
Entertainment: This is essentially fluff and some simple comedy -- heartwarming, cheerful, nothing to think about, simply to lay back and sink into the fluff clouds. Recommended for BL fans, those who liked the first season, or simply the unprejudiced who want a feel-good romance/comedy. Only: Make sure to watch the first season first. XD

Full review for the first season: http://anime-access.com/anime/S/Sekai-ichi_Hatsukoi_%28TV%29/reviews/id/21572#review ... can essentially be taken for both seasons, but isn't all different from what I've been saying here. :P
