Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken 2nd Season

Maybe I have read some from LN and Manga (I am Spoiled) that is why I am rating it high enough. Fuse is a great story teller and watching it as an anime is quite entertaining for me at least. Season 1 is not that great because the second half is cramped and does have an anti-climatic ending. I think I would recommend watching the whole series (including the 2nd season part 2) in 1 seating for you to enjoy it.. the series is not really good at cliff hangers in my opinion and the story being broken by season does lack impact.

Wow finally I can say something about this second season. Only 1 episode left.
I really enjoy the story until now although first episodes were kinda slow, but now that we are close to the first part ending we really saw some huge development especially related to Rimuru.
That's why I'm really really curious about second season part 2 in summer, it can be dope! and I hope there will be some real and brutal fights :)
I like really a lot how Rimuru changed especially because he cares about his people and I admire this.
Animations are still pretty good as in first season so about general aspect ... I'm kinda happy and no complaints.

An amazing second season to an already amazing first season. There is so much that has improved from the first season. Even though this is just the first part of the second season, I'm still excited nonetheless.

The story has improved quite well, to a degree. This time around, the main focus of this season is a bit one-sided and forced. From the beginning of the second season, you end up assuming about the story. However, that assumption of yours is immediately kicked down. It's not bad, but it was more different than I imagined it was going to be. The entire first season and the ... first few episodes make you assume that the plot would go one way, but it ends up going the other. Think of this season as an edgier upgrade to the first, while carrying the same torch.

The characters are all the same quality as the first season, but the plot kinda dulls them down in one form or another. The newly introduced characters in this season are more in focus, while the reoccurring characters feel a bit washed out due to the story and how it's presented. Their charm is still there, but I feel like they themselves have been toned down a bit in order to give the new characters a time to shine.

The animation is still of the same quality as before. Of course, Eight Bit is still the studio in charge of this anime so it makes sense. There isn't any noticeable drop in quality whatsoever, which is good.

Overall, an amazing second season. I can't wait to see what happens in the second part of this season. Definitely recommend you watch this after watching the first season.

Okay, now I know people will come for me, but the song choices in Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken Season 2 Part 1 is fucking *chef's kiss* brilliant. That one scene epic scene Rimuru starts resurrecting the dead people and happy cheery music plays during it? Fucking magnificent. I personally hated the entire pacing, writing, and characters of the show. But when they played happy dubstep music after Rimuru committed genocide, that fucking stuck with me and made me think; When is revenge justified? For that moment alone, that SONG CHOICE ALONE, made me change my scoring of Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken Season 2 ... Part 1 from a 1 to a 10. HELLS FUCKING YEAH GENOCIDE IS FUN, PLAY THAT FUCKING DUBSTEP MUSIC. ISSA BANGER.

back when it came out I don't know about this isekai and I not yet join the anime community, but when it was end of 2019 I really join this time and I know that isekai kinda make not good in this community and I was just the junior level of AniLovers so I watch "this was good man why I shouldn't join earlier" but when I just like this anime because cheerful and awesome, but when season 2 came out I freaking hype because this anime will make me not stress anymore. but when I just look up to the description of the video ... trailer on youtube, I found out it will be darker. so maybe this anime not so much for everyone because when you be a leader there are so much bad happen. it will be sad. and that's my first review in this website

This season started off a hell of a lot slower than the last one. By episode 6, I was debating giving this 7/10.
After the half-way mark though, I feel like this season really improved, bringing some fantastic tertiary characters and how rimuru dealt with them.

What I dislike about Tensura is that it is mostly based on rimuru winning consecutively, but this season halted that trend with some important plot points. I feel like this has built to the character of rimuru. I do think the plot still feels a bit deus ex machina because the plot is based around how rimuru will WIN, rather than ... how he effectively RESPONDS to said problem. This creates a disconnect between the protagonist and the viewer because there is a small sense of risk in rimuru's life, even with everything against him because rimuru has a seemingly perfect mentality, preventing him from being too psychologically damaged to make any rash mistakes, hence being too unrealistic.

The art in some scenes is absolutely fantastic. Episode 10-11 is pure eye candy. The sound is pretty cool but the score is a bit corny for my liking.

The plot progresses slowly, yet a lot of information is given in this time so it does feel like my boots are filled when it comes to lore in this anime. This is a typical tactic used by fantasy authors, where backstory becomes so integral that it is the sole driving force (e.g.b. attack on titan, code geass and this.)


The biggest gripe I have with this season is the ridiculous amounts of filler. It's far too much. Otherwise, I really enjoyed it. Great proceeding season for an interesting take on the isekai genre. Will come back for later seasons

As much as I loved the first season, I think I love this even more. It felt so good to finally see the characters I got to know last season doing new stuff. I must say I agree with MALs scores on the seasons. The second one is better.

I haven't wathced any other isekais, but I do know a lot about some others, and the story on this one just feels way more unique. I talked about this in my review of the first season. Perhaps you should maybe still take my opinions with a grain of salt, since I still haven't seen any other ... isekais. But the story is still a 9/10.

Art looks stunning. 8/10. It was just as good if not better than last season, and it's great.

Sound is great as well. Solid 9/10 here. Voice actors are on point, music is still fire, and the sound design is amazing.

Characters are still amazing, and Rimuru is still one of my all time favourites, if not my favouite. The rest are great too. 9/10.

This anime was at the very least an amazing experience. If you liked last season, you're gonna love this one. And boy oh boy, there is so much stuff happening this season. It never failed to entertain me and it's definitely the best second season I've waited for, and I couldn't ask for it to be better.

If you've seen lots of isekais it might be a little tiring to watch another one, but I still recommend you do. You will most likely not be disappointed.

Have fun watching!

Slime's biggest attraction for some is its biggest weakness for others.

Right from the start of the show and until the end of this second season, there is no danger. There is none, because the goal of this show is to let our main character show how big his slimeyhood is. The more he's able to do so, the more fun the show gets. Seriously, my least favorite part of this season is when *SPOILERS* Rimuru isn't able to beat Hinata, it felt like the party was over. In principle this really shouldn't work, but for some reason it does for me and many others.

This anime ... is just so wholesome and FUN! It is shallow, repetitive and beyond predictable, but it's still fun. I think this show hits the spot in terms of the appeal of Isekai. No Isekai lets you project onto the protagonist and feel powerful better. I honestly thought it would get boring at some point, but when *SPOILERS* Rimuru turns into a demon lord it just feels so satisfying, like I just unlocked a super rare ability in a video game. This show is like a dopamine supplier.

If you don't enjoy the vibe of trashy op hero fantasy shows, this show has absolutely nothing to offer for you. Yet, if you're like me and you do like the concept but you feel as if most shows execute it badly, slime isekai is seriously going to fill that now slime shaped hole perfectly for you.

Note: This Review covers both parts of Slime Season 2.

Story - 9
=====

The story expands on ideas presented in the first season with the additional pressure of relations with neighboring countries, expanding the empire, and establishing safe connections. It leaves off after the Slime Side Story about Rimuru's teaching experiences, which is nice.

The show has a strong usage of suspense, which makes each episode thrilling and an addicting watch.

The first couple episodes start a bit slow, but it soon ramps up very quickly. There is a strong point of climax, and multiple arcs present. Before each large arc begins, it feels like a ... couple episodes are used to introduce a bunch of information. That part is a little uninteresting, but with the compelling nature of the show, it is by no means a bummer.

The plot is unique and interesting and a good watch if you enjoyed season 1. Slime Diaries is not required for Season 2. If you liked Season 1, but did not like Slime Diaries, you will still most likely like Season 2.

Art - 9
=====

As a disclaimer, I'm not too keen on art anyway, so this is not my area of expertise. I will note when the art is beautiful, but generally, it's good and follows some relative convention. The art follows the standard that most isekai in 2021 follow, but the animations for magic were well done. The art was very pretty and flowed well with the moves. I liked that CG was not used that often (I'm not a huge fan), and the animators relied more on 2D animation.

Sound - 9
=====

Nothing incredibly spectacular about the music. It was fitting, but nothing really eye-catching.
The OP and END songs also didn't really catch my eye as songs to listen to outside of the show.

As for the voice actors, as usual, I have no complaints- I think they all did excellent. I think my score here comes mostly from my love for the voice actor Takehito Koyasu, who plays the role of 'evil royalty' brilliantly. He also plays Roswaal L. Mathers in Re:Zero, so you might have heard him then.

Character - 10
=====

Each new character introduced felt fresh and interesting. I was surprised to see how aesthetically well each character was, and how consistent the character's actions were in lines with their background, experiences, and abilities.

I don't want to spoil who is introduced, so I will not mention specific names.
Each character has their unique personality and watching them relate with other ones gives each one depth.

Character growth can be seen across the season from both Rimuru and others around him- this is quite enjoyable to watch.

Enjoyment - 9
=====

I think I came into this season not expecting too much. I saw some of Slime Diaries but the slice of life aspect did not really appeal to me.

But as new characters were introduced, suspense was built, and plot points were advanced, I got roped very into the core of the show, and kept watching and watching. It was fun; I lost track of time when I watched.

Finding an absolute joy in this show was a pleasant surprise and I'm looking forward to what is next for this show.

Overall - 10
=====

Slime S2 was on-point; it delivered an experience stronger than Slime Season 1, and proved an incredibly enjoyable watch. For anybody who is looking for a continuation of Season 1, I would definitely recommend this. If you think about quitting, just know that I would endure through the slower episodes, because the plot that follows that is absolutely worth it.

This is a great watch for sure.

Looking back at the First Season, I did enjoy the anime but not to the point it's become like an instant favorite like other Shounen Anime. The isekai genre kind off make me to not continue watch this series. A lot of stuffs happened and I have been told that the S1's pacing was too fast and rushed.

On the second season, the pacing was a bit slower and nicely done. Also, I always enjoy listening to the opening and ending song. Second season gave us a better look and glimpse of the other Demon Lords and also an origin story of Milim. Rimuru always ... been a chilled guy but this time, he has to face a bit of difficulties as the other nations and influenced people became wary of his new and fast-growing country.

The animation has been good. New characters also been a great 'spice and salt' to the plot. I always look forward to see more of Rimuru and his people adventures.

Now on to the bad side, one thing that kind of annoyed me a bit is the villains. Which is in this season was Demon Lord Clayman. But i guess his interactions with out slime boy will have to wait until Season 2 Part 2. Solid 8/10 from me!!!

My most anticipated sequel, only took 2 years. I think they switched up the sequence a bit. It definitely started a bit slow, but it ended very strong. The adaptation failed to capture some of brilliant scenes from the manga or even the light novel. But its certainly isn't a bad adaptation. Animation are fluid and very good. I'd be surprised if it weren't, since its like the only project 8bit worked on for like 2 years. I really like the character designs for newer chracters. Rimuru's stature change after each power up is an appreciated detail. Opening are very great, not as great ... as previous but nonetheless still very sweet. Rimuru's voice actor achieved some pretty great scenes and Diablo is plain cool. Rimuru has once again become more mature and less naive. Will wait how they decide to adapt Diablo in the second cour. I really really enjoyed this season. Although it started slow, the ending delivered.

After you finished the first season I think you already understand why this isekai series can pass as one of the popular isekai anime. It has a good formula and pacing, we enjoy Rimuru as character because he use all his past knowledge and experience to build his own unique city and friends. In the first season we already know that Rimuru has conquer Jura Forest, he already help Sizue students, and Tempest city has become pretty big cities and of course it will affect other nations.

The second season tell us the continuation of Tempest nation development. How the other nations like Blumund Army ... and the Western Holy Church will react to monster nation like Tempest City. Rimuru who just wanted to have a nice and cozy place to live and surrounded by his friends, suddenly must facing the danger of extermination. But little we know this is just setup for bigger conflict that will happened in second court.

In conclusion in this second season we will get more serious part of story from Tensei Slime. We also get to see some action of Rimuru subordinate. And the most important part it is not the climax, it is just part of build up to climax for second part.

Well what to say
Firstly, this went too fast, it was that involving and good that it finished too soon in my opinion, but the second part is coming soon, looking forward to it

Secondly, Rimuru is as op he as he ever was, great development from a pacifist to the true ruler that is fit to wear big boy shoes and rule the country
The supporting characters were all great and we can clearly see how much they progressed from season 1, they became powerhouses
Gild the Orc was a surprise and I was thrilled that he became as powerful as his late father and great combatant ...
The animation was great, fighting scenes and emotional moments were a blast
Also, Diablo is here now and Rimuru evolved, finally
Opening was a banger
Plot twists were cool and enemies were beautifully slathered

Lastly, Overall only complaint I have is that it played off too fast and that they could have stretched the story segments a bit more for better following and character development impact

Slime feels like playing Age of Empires III with cheats on - you've let your enemy construct a well-guarnified base and build a large strong army and then you would send yours of expensive unities to attack, and if that's not enough you'd also summon three monster trucks to drive over their land and crush their civilians - except it is better, because it is the nicest human being ever being giving cheat mode and somehow finding a way to convince all his enemies to join his cult of personality and allow their women to squeeze his slimy body against their big breasts.

I really enjoyed the 2nd season of the anime. At first when I began watching, it took me a while to remember what happened at the end of the previous one, because it was a few years ago, but things quickly fell into place.

The story continues where it was left out, at first everything seems to be going well for the main characters, but trouble strikes and at that point, I must say I was immediately hooked.

The way events were portrayed really provoked emotions into me. When the bad guys started wreaking havoc, I was really overcome with negative emotions like frustration, anger, anxiety.

It was ... like 02:00 in the morning when I was watching it and the event got me so invested that I ended up watching it until 04:00 in the morning and after that could not fall asleep for another hour due to excitement.

All the baddies were then punished in a very satisfying way.

Of course, it wasn't all amazing, there was a lot of plot armor, so stuff were kind of predictable in a way that you can always tell who will win a fight, but also there were some shocking twists that really added to the overall tension.

It's a shame it was only 12 episodes when the 1st season was 24 episodes. I'm conflicted whether I should start reading the manga or wait for a new season to appear. In away I can relate this anime to Overlord with "The Good Bad Guys" trope where the protagonists appear evil or are regarded as such in the world, but they are actually good at least to the point of making sure their interests come into fruition without intentionally trying to harm any other party in the process and if provoked will respond not just in kind, but thrice as hard.


Overall, I recommend it to people who watched the 1st season and are wondering whether they should watch this one as well, if you haven't seen the first one, know that the 1st season was really great and this 2nd season was even better, totally worth the watch if you're into this kind of anime.

A very decent anime ruined by terrible pacing.
Did they really have to drag out Shion's death that far and replace it with Rimuru talking for 5 to 10 minutes straight? The last 3 episodes redeemed the show but goddamn was it a drag.

The animation was very nice and colourful at the fight scenes such as Hinata vs Rimuru and the voice acting saves the show. Still, it would've been nice to see a sneak peek of black cloak Rimuru or something that hypes Part 2 up.

Overall, a 7/10 anime. I never watched the first season but i got into the second season as i ... heard it was where things got good and intense.

I need to get something out there, as honestly this season of slime has really been pissing me off a lot. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love slime, It's been my #1 anime since I finished the first season, and that hasn't changed. But the second season has just been a large let down in my opinion.

When the first season ended, I was just extremely hyped for the next season. So much so I decided to read ahead in the light novel. I started where the last arc in the anime ended and read past where the anime is currently, and a little bit ... past where the first part of this season seems like it's going to end. My opinion on that? Amazing. I loved every bit of it. But I didn't want to read too far ahead as I didn't want to burn out on the story and honestly I was contempt with waiting for the anime adaptation of the arc, which is my favourite arc in slime so far. I even caught up with the manga when it got to the current arc too.

The anime on the other hand? Well, firstly the second season had to cover the content from the light novel that was skipped in the first season, so I wasn't as mad about that, because obviously they shouldn't of skipped the content to begin with but anyway, it wasn't just random filler content and it actually is important. It also was decent but it has the same issue with it as the rest of the season, which is its animation. Dear god the animation is just, bad. It's somehow a downgrade even though it's being made by the same studio that made the first season. If I was to put the animation for the season on a scale, 1 being Seven Deadly Sins season 3, and 10 being Jujutsu Kaisen, the first season would be around a 7 and this season would be a 3.

While I plan on finishing this season, I'm really not sure if I will watch the second half, especially if the animation stays as bad as it currently is. If that is the case, I cannot recommend more to read the light novel or even the manga instead. Especially considering it honestly ruined what is my favourite arc so far. Honestly I'm not even sure what I would rate this season of the show. If I'm going to mention each of the ratings, I'd give Story a 10, Art a 3, Sound a 8 or a 9, Character a 10 and Enjoyment a 6 (It would be lower if some of the horrid animation wasn't hilariously bad). which would lead my overall to be around 7 or an 8, but honestly I don't know if it even deserves that, let alone a higher average rating than the first season.

The first season is really good and it make on my fav top 10 isekai anime/manga and make we waiting for the 2nd season.

I still followup the manga so this 2nd season is really make me excited to wonder how they gonna animated it but the excitement is fell short after few episode.

There is 3 highlight for this first cour of 2nd season which is i aspected:
-Tempest got raid that cost Shion life
-Rimuru wrath and obliterate Falmuth kingdom
-Diablo join team & DL Rimuru .

The studio manage to waste 1-6 episode on the non-highlight mundane episodes and only cramp all those remain chapter of manga ... of the highlight for only ONE episode each. That a waste of a lot potential good sources & chapters for anime. It feel like they rush the manga chapter and cramp it on one episode just so they can meet the requirement to end this one at ep12.

Because of that this season fell short to me and i give this one 7/10 rating.

Wonder why the studio tend to shiet over the fans on season2 after deliver a really good first season ie: OPM & Promise Neverland...They really put down a low expectation for the anime sequel this year for me.

Actually I am not here to review the anime only, but rather the entire franchise (novels, manga, anime, etc.), so who I am addressing here is none other than the creator, Fuse-sensei. Why am I writing this here is because this page is the most popular, sorry about that (Tee-hee ;p).

I really love stories from the Tensei Slime universe, and well deserved a variety of spin-offs, I followed almost all of them. Thanks to Fuse-sensei and all the artists who illustrated and even animated this story.

So this is what I'm going to say. At first, any form of loyalty from each character to their master ... Rimuru did manage to spoil my heart, but it was so exaggerated that so I think it had flaws in it. I was wondering, what would happen to Rimuru's subordinates if their master died? And all I can imagine is chaos, because anyone knows that all the important characters in this story only give their love and loyalty to Rimuru, they all rely on him, respect him, and adore him, even worship him. If he dies then his subordinates will certainly lose their purpose in life, become empty, and whoever takes his place as leader, then what will arise is only strife, not because of jealousy, but more on the worthiness. I mean, we have mental illness characters like Shion and Diablo, what would happen if their master wasn't Rimuru? Those two wasn't the type who wanted to be a substitute leader if that happened, but the type who only wanted to serve Rimuru. So this is the kind of flaws that I mean. Maybe it would be a different story if only Rimuru could have children, I don't really know.

Note: This is a review for part 1 and part 2 of season 2.

tl;dr: A more intense sequel that stays true to the spirit of the original but that very much feels like the series is really hitting it’s stride.

The second season of Tensura is a continuation of the first, though the bridge between the first and second season is kind of messy. The last episode of the first season was a completely disconnected flashback centered around establishing a character that becomes more important in season 2. The episode before that ends with Rimuru on his way back to Tempest, but here’s a good amount ... of overlap between the first season and second season, with the second season catching up to this scene of Rimiru returning to Tempest six episodes in. Furthermore, the OVAs released after season 1 also take place before Rimiru begins his journey back to Tempest. While it will be somewhat messy it’s best to not over complicate things and just watch all of this in release order.

What’s more interesting is that the comedy focused spin off, Tensura Nikki also takes place before the finale of season 1, but was released in the gap between the first and seconds cours of season 2. As such, if watching in release order one would similarly watch Tesnura Nikki in the middle of the season 2, however I would strongly advise watching Tensura Nikki before starting season 2. The first cour of season 2 relies heavily on investment that the viewer has built up in Tempest and it’s inhabitants. I feel that season 1 doesn’t do as good of a job as it needed to in building up that sort of investment, but Tensura Nikki does an decent job of filling that hole which allows the writing in season 2 to hit some really amazing emotional beats.

On that note, I found that this season overall was much better written than the first. The first season did a lot of world building, but it largely felt like it was focusing on the parts that were too smooth and simple. The second adds a lot more complexity and more importantly uses that complexity for things that were at a higher level and much more interesting than what was happening in season 1. As a result things feel like they’re progressing much faster which overall makes things much more interesting. It’s also much more liberal in providing hints and foreshadowing about what it’s leaving mysterious in regards to the large overarching plot lines which creates a better persistent sense of suspense. In order to allow for such writing, I feel the storyline this time overall was much more serious than in the first season with less comedy. And while comedy was the best part of the first season, I feel this exchange was very much still worth it. After all, there still is a good amount of comedy and what there is is still as excellent as the first season.

In terms of characters in and of themselves, the writing isn’t all that improved. I wouldn’t really consider it as there being character arcs or characters being given much depth. Still, characters did grow in terms of power levels and abilities, and the anime did a really good job of showcasing this. Certain moments of evolving were handled incredibly well with what I can best describe as amazing UI work. And showcasing characters now being overpowered was also handled incredibly well. Unlike the first season, I feel it properly handled building up to the epic overpowered moments, as well as in dwelling on the aftermath an appropriate amount to really let it sink in. All of this tied into the previously mentioned investment in the cast and the town for some really amazing moments that really resonated. This season also did a great job in developing villains that were easy to hate and did a good job of making them getting crushed as satisfying as possible.

The art and animation are as solid as the first season, which is pretty solid. Character design wise it’s pretty similar to the first season. There are some designs that stand out as especially great, but overall most designs aren’t all that remarkable. Due to the expanded cast there are more great designs, but the overall percentage I would say is about the same. The first ED and second OP were great in terms of songs and visuals. The first OP had good visuals as well, though the song I only found okay. The second ED was only okay in terms of songs and visuals. The soundtrack was solid enough but not particularly remarkable.
