I feel like this series has lost it's charm

I loved the first season of this show a lot. It had a really comfy and wholesome fun energy to it that you don't really get in a lot of shows. I don't even really like Isekai but this show really appealed to me. But in the second season, it essentially becomes a shounen battle series. A lot of the nation building stuff from the first season is gone, with a lot of it that's left devolving into fight scenes. The political intrigue in this season is pretty shallow and Clayman is a very one-dimensional villain, but even if the series wanted to change direction, that's fine. But things just happen in the show that just bewilder me. Rimeru single-handedly wipes out an army, and that's never really explored at all past that arc, Milim not actually being controlled came out of nowhere, I'm still not sure what the point of the clowns are, and the cast has expanded to the point where a lot of characters they introduce feel forgettable. And if you're going to make the fights a bigger part of the show, please make them better. In season one, it was fine if the characters were overpowered because that wasn't the point of the show. Action was more for spectacle than anything else. But in season 2, fights that are supposed to be dramatic have absolutely no weight behind them. You already essentially know what's about to happen, it all feels pointless. I don't know I just rambling at this point. I'm not mad, I'm just dissapointed. 5/10 watch odd taxi instead.

milim isnt stupid at all

her being "stupid" is one of the biggest misconceptions in slime, its all due to the anime cut too many details about her character quite badly back in season 1

in light novel vol 3, there are some milim POV moments that showcase her despite having a childish appearance, she's actually a smart and mature woman

what I meant as stupid isn’t her aptitude. Clearly she’s a fighting genius. My issue with her is that I don’t like her; therefore, she’s stupid. She’ll fit right in with the characters in Dragon Maid. I don’t like it. And she’s not even a goofy genius like Monkey D Luffy. She’s in my top 5 most hated characters in anime. In fact, I began to dislike the series as a whole. It’s not funny when human low level characters are fighting for their lives in the presence of demon lords and everything is just some big joke where they shoehorn a wholesome moment in front of a human character that is crapping their pants. It’s not a joke. These demons can sneeze crooked and wipe a city off the map. Milim is the epitome of stupid. She comes in and challenges Rimuru… no stakes… just a joke… lets be friends. The only two characters in the series I like is Gobta because he actually puts effort into getting stronger unlike the rest and Hinata because she ushered in an actual plot to this story.

Im not talking about milim as "a fighting genius",I'm referring to her iQ in general. she's a smart and muture woman. she's acting childish most of the time cuz she's one of the most cunning demon lord next to demon lord guy crimson. she's a wolf in sheep's clothing

her one and only objective setting her foot in tempest is to protect rimuru and tempest denizens, she says it herself (within her mind) in the first demon lord summit

aand the anime literally skipped everything about the first demon lord summit in season 1

let me tell you another thing about milim, she actually knows what honey/ nectar is

rimuru thought milim was dancing in the palm of his hand but its actually him who's been dancing in the palm of milim's hand since the beginning
