Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken 2nd Season

Taking a break from his time as a teacher, the powerful slime Rimuru Tempest returns to his kingdom, eponymously named Tempest, just in time to begin negotiations with a nearby nation—the Kingdom of Eurazania. While the negotiations are anything but peaceful, they do end successfully, allowing Rimuru to return and finish teaching. When trying to again return to Tempest, this time permanently, Rimuru is stopped by a mysterious figure who is somehow able to constrain the many magical abilities he has at his disposal.

In Tempest, the situation is even worse. A group of unknown humans has invaded the land and are assaulting its citizens, both influential and innocent. They are not just trying to bring harm either—they have the intent to kill. Can Rimuru overcome his powerful and dangerous foe and return to Tempest before it is too late?

The second season turned out to be better than the first. This is surprising, because by the end of the first season, it felt like the author had run out of ideas. However, instead of dragging the plot pointlessly, he essentially restarted the story with fresh elements. The series changed noticeably, becoming more dramatic and at the same time more engaging. This approach clearly suits the author better.

To create the right atmosphere, the author accepted a number of narrative liberties and made some logical inconsistencies. All of this was done to set up a tense military drama at the beginning, which in turn shifted the ... direction of the plot. Despite some drawn-out dialogues, the show remains interesting to watch. If you skip some of the conversations selectively, what you get is a dynamic story that balances serious and light-hearted moments quite well. At times, it even feels like the best episodes of Naruto.

Of course, not everything is perfect. But the characters feel alive and likable, which makes you want to keep following their journeys. One thing worth mentioning is how easily the dramatic elements are presented. The author knows how to keep the viewer’s attention without making things feel overly heavy. The plot and world-building are impressive. You can tell the author put real care and effort into the details.

Among the flaws, the main one that stands out is the protagonist's excessive kindness. Sometimes it would be nice to see him act more decisively toward his enemies and not forgive so easily.

Overall, this is a solid and well made story. The ending may be open, but it still feels satisfying. I can recommend this anime, although it might not be for everyone. To enjoy it fully, you need to be able to watch thoughtfully and occasionally use the fast forward button. I definitely don’t regret watching it and look forward to the next season with interest.

Mixed Feelings

Season 2 of Slime is so incredibly disappointing. Season 1, particularly the first half or so, was so good, but it is now hardly better than any other isekai. The first part of season 2 (particularly the first 6ish episodes) is made up of horny monster girls fighting over Rimuru and way too much recapping. I’m no prude, I don’t mind sexual jokes, and every once in awhile, something HAS been funny. The vast majority of the horny stuff, though, is just the same couple things over and over and over. And it’s not like the tropes were original to begin with.

Since more action has ... started in the latter half of the season, I have found some enjoyment, but there are plenty of distracting flaws. Many characters have no personality at all (or their personality is no more than a bare-bones trope), and yet the show clearly wants you to care about them. I don’t know how to explain too much more without spoiling, but what I will say is they undid a decision they should have kept more or less as it was. Undoing it was just what any generic isekai would do.

The quality of season 2 is still likely somewhat better than most other isekai (though not by much), but the anger comes from how strongly it started and how far it has fallen.
Side note: MONSTERS DO NOT NEED TO LOOK HUMAN AFTER GAINING A NAME. Please, I’m begging, they were so much cooler before

Gross, to be totally honest. the experience watching this vs watching season 1 is night and day. Season one is a fun, nostalgic, action-filled, generally well-thought out anime which, while not being a mature or super unique anime, at least had this loveable spark that made it irresistible and this season- this first half of it at least that this page is for is thoughtless, generic, careless, and edgy.
...
Now, if the show got dark, that would be fine- honestly it would be interesting. But it doesn't get dark it get's edgy and frankly dull, and disgustingly so too. No regrets or thought at all for very big and profound actions and no emotion or weight to whatever shams of emotion they try to shove in.
And the fights, I am not a fan of action shows in general. I don't get it. But I'm not soulless, I like a great fight scene that makes you go "OH!" and GASP and other monke sounds too. Other than a decapitation, the fights are pretty boring. If not solely for the fact that the fights are pointless and usually with characters we either don't care about, or whom fighting could probably be talked around if Rimuru decided to actually keep talking.

Nothing has any weight in the show, especially not death. I mean, we can't let anyone we know die, noooooo forget we did last season and it was very sweet and interesting. The waifu must live :,( . And then Rimuru fucking kills thousands of innocent people with 0% mercy. It was honestly disgusting to watch; and they didn't want it to be, they wanted genocide to be "cool" and "cold-blooded." Well, it wasn't. it felt completely out of character and fucking stupid and childish in the bad ways.
But, yknow, the show is very fast paced and thus despite all its issues it's easy to sit through and watch and I admit even has its good, charming VERY FEW moments. The show is popular, I'll sit through its grossness just so I can at least talk to other anime fans. I loved the first season so much, I am utterly stupified at how they could fuck it up this bad.
