I Can't Understand What My Husband Is Saying: 2nd Thread (旦那が何を言っているかわからない件 2スレ目) is the 13 episode, second season, based on the yonkoma of the same name by Cool-kyo Shinja. The anime originally aired in Japan over the Spring of 2015.
The series picks up after the end of the original one were Kaoru and Hajime are continuing to adjust to living with each other as a married couple. Season one ended with Kaoru being pregnant but they don't start getting back into that plat line until the last half of the second season. Instead they flesh out some of the supporting characters and delve more into the internal conflicts the main characters have regarding themselves and how they appear to their significant other. The series ends abruptly with the final episode, leaving you wanting more.
I still really like this series for its tenderness and honesty. I did start to lose focus in the first half as I had a hard time trying to remember who was who out of all of the side characters. The artwork and pace fit really well with the story and I was glad to find that the initial rumor around this season being full length episodes was wrong. The story is best when it puts aside the shock gags about waifu's and lolicon and focuses on the characters working through their internal problems and conceptions about the people around them. There is always a tint of sadness around Kaoru and Hajime. There is something about the way they are presented that seems more realistic that almost anything else in anime. You can almost picture them as real people at times.
If you liked the first season, you will like this one. I hope we will see more. Season 2 was simulcast on Crunchyroll as was season 1. Sadly, that is its only legitimate availability in North America. The manga as well is not available commercially outside of Japan.
