I loved the 1st season, but disliked this first ep of 2nd
If i recall been already a recap. It wasnt necessary the one from the start.
I feel the all ep missed something.

The opening and end is not on my style so ya, but op visuals were okay.

There are to many recaps. That‘s lazy and cheap. The pacing will be very slow. The good part will not start before episode 4....

This anime is just such a chill watch, something nice and mellow... like even the fight scenes are somehow just chill too haha

Rimuru said that he instigated the fight between the two nations parties, but that is just not true; what leader and their subordinates would just stand and have someone who is supposed to be coming to make amicable relations hurl insults and them and their nation? That tiger girl was asking for a fight!

Just a heads up for anyone that doesn't know:

You have to watch both specials and the OVA before watching this. They aren't filler. They are plot significant. The endings of each especially.

I don't know why but the production was really cheap compared to the first three episodes of season 1.
The boring camera and the childish focus on Shion's chest were disappointing.

But still, it was a fun episode.

I'm looking forward to the next ep.

What was up with that ed? I got a weirdly bad feeling about it. Not saying the music was bad or anything, but the visuals . . . I was wondering why they were only focusing on Shion, Milim, and Rimiru. I Maybe I'm looking too much into it.

Some really nice action in the first episode was nice to see. I didn't think that they leveled up so much since the first season, but maybe it's just because the fight scene was just really well animated.

Man it really was nice to Rimiru and the others. Can't wait for the next episode!

Watched season 1 only a few days ago, and was underwhelmed by the ending. Glad to know we're off to an explosive start to season 2! Also, heard that this season will be better than the last, looking forward to that!

The reason I watched Tenshura because of Shuna-chan, is there someone like me?

I started watching for same reason, different "girl". Totally thought that Rimiru was a girl LOL, also thought that Milim was a uh . . . nicely designed character.


I also saw the tsundere dragon clip somewhere, so I ended up taking it up. Didn't think I was going to end up enjoying it as much as I did.

The teleportation he got from the wind spirit... Does anyone remember something like that?

Pretty sure it was from the 5 episode OVA maybe or the last arc of the first season. I honestly barely remember anything about that teaching arc, I didn't enjoy it that much, but I hope that sorta answers your question lol.

So hype! Was definitely hoping for less recap and more exposition, since we had that recap episode. Like the first couple minutes with that slideshow was kind of annoying, it really didn't need to take up two whole minutes lmao. Was a great first episode regardless, can't wait for next week! While there's definitely a bunch of bullshit this season (looking at you, Ex-Arm, Hortensia Saga, etc...), Winter '21 looks like it'll shape up to be a great season!

Stepped away when that recap nonsense was going on, it was totally unnecessary and not even done well either. Hopefully not too much more time spent on students either and back to more adventures.

Ok I wathed this when it aired and don't know why I gave season 1 a 8.

Because now after finishing this episode, I couldn't take it anymore and dropped it.

I think I was a very different anime viewer when I first watched this show.

I also watched legend of the galactic heroes 1-2 years ago and so I don't think I want to stoop so low again and watch this.

I'm done with isekai crap.

So Rimuru is Kirby after all...

Without joking around, great to see Rimuru back again. Still has the same vibes as the first season.

The irony is real that Rimuru said that they didn't want to fight and what does he do, instigated a fight. Funny guy sometimes. Shion was holding her own nicely against that tiger woman. She should never be underestimated.

Fun start again, can't wait to see more of Jura Tempest and it's world building.

Ummmm, seriously, I don’t get it:
Why are people complaining about the choppy animation style during the fights?? How did those same people not have a problem with something like Devilman Sleepb—, I mean, Crybaby’s equally choppy animation, even calling it S tier art or something? The biasedness too real to a point of impracticality in opinions. If someone wants to make a legit and justified complaint, then bitch about the supposedly “low stakes” lighthearted tone (I guess, even though it’s actually intentional to begin with), the OPedness of the MC, or the loli/ harem bait stuff.

What I expected: Slime main story continuation
What I got: Slime side stories
How I feel: NOOO!!

That said, after they skipped a bunch of content, I don't understand why they're throwing in the side stories now.

Well,I knew it was going to be at least as good as the first season,but damn!!!!!!
The animation is superb as usual,the opening theme was good,but Stereo Dive Foundation(R.O.N) knocked it out of the park with that ED,so damn catchy.
Anyways,if this is how the season starts,I hope it goes on at least on the same level(though I don't doubt it will).
Another thing,was is just me or does this season look like its going to be more,erm,colourful?
That episode was so damn bright,and the whole way through it just seemed more "jaunty" to me.
Loved every second of it.
And also loved Rimuru going "Sonic" mode during the ED,that was hilarious!
And the bit where he was impersonating the tableware.
Oh,and the bit where Shion and Shuna were trying to get him to wear those dresses,and the samurai outfit :)

Glad to have this back. It's one of the isekai's I enjoyed and I'm hoping S2 is just as good.

Don't really have much to say but I kinda wish Rimuru had shown those Dark Lord commanders who's boss when they showed up instead of having the others fight them.

A whole lot of nothing to start off the season.

Classroom scene with nothing of importance. Then a REALLY LONG AND SLOW recap... Why did they have a recap episode and then put a recap in this? I skipped the recap for a reason. Then a speech where he says the goal is not to fight. Then he starts a fight...

Didn't they do the whole "delegates show up, they make fun of Rimuru, a fight breaks out" toward the end of S1, as well? Felt like a copy/paste setup.

Looking forward to better eps from now on, though.

Spartial movement is actually common skil for spirit and demon
I already forgot it but I guess he got it from Ifrit (spirit ) or any demon he eat

I know that. But when he teleported, he said he got it from a wind spirit he ate. Ifrit is a fire spirit, and I don't remember him eating any wind spirit.


Someone just confirmed the information to me
He get this power from eating and combined spirit during the time he help the children
and the spirit that give him this skill is the one that now belong to Alice

what a way to start the season, getting diplomatic and fighting, honestly some of my favourite things about this series has to offer. Great to see the whole Tempest Gang again, missed them tbh.

Animation quality still looks amazing, we got a decent amount of action this ep, and honestly they were really smooth and fluid in terms of animation. All in all the visuals haven't changed that much from season 1, which is good cus they are pretty fucking good.

SFX in this series as a whole, has overall always been good. They've really managed to nail the realism in their SFX of things like the ground breaking or swords hitting swords.

OP is pretty ok, but that ED for me is a fucking jam. Really like it a lot, unsurprisingly as i didn't even realise it was a Stereo Dive Foundation song until looking it up, i absolutely love a lot of their works.

Looking forward to the rest of season 2, this season keeps getting better and better tbh

Pretty good start to the 2nd season.

Of course everything wasn't going to go according to script, lol. Rimuru's realisation and confession in the end was pretty hilarious. Also, just a month away until retirement as a teacher, I'm guessing things will seriously go down around that time.

Pretty cool ED too, love my Stereo Dive Foundation music!

I appreciate all of the recapping since I felt like I had forgotten a lot of stuff.

Although it's a bit weird with how they are starting this. I remember the previous season ended with Rimuru leaving the students but now they seem to be backtracking? I guess they skipped some stuff in the previous season from the source material that they couldn't afford to and now we have this awkward beginning.

It was still an interesting enough first episode. I found it funny how quick Rimuru was to start a fight despite all of his talk of peace. Not that any of this will lead to any sort of war.

One of my most anticipated shows this Winter season is underway!

The small recap was needed to remind ourselves for the adventures Rimuru has gone through so far, but the rest of the episode felt very enjoyable, which is what I expected from this series. =3

Nice comedy moments, a little dash of fanservice and also some solid fighting animation involving Shion, which was really good. I do hope she wins her side of the fight.

The OP from True was really good, but the ED song from Stereo Dive Foundation is also impressive, too. The laidback and catchy beat of the song matched the animation focus on Rimuru, Shion and Milim (best girl =P) nicely.

He was a village chief of one of the nearby Goblin Villages that joined Rimuru when he came back from the Dwarven Kingdom back when he first recruited Kaijin and the 3 brothers. So when Rimuru came back and named all new Goblins, Rimuru gave the former Goblin Village Chiefs similar names to Rigurd and declared them to be Goblin Lords, while Rigurd himself became the Goblin King (the anime very briefly mentioned that back in S1 in EP6). This guy's name is Rogurd and at this point he is Tempest's Minister of Administration. The little guy next to him is likewise a former Goblin Village Chief who joined at the same time and that one's name is Regurd, Minister of Legislation.
