I know. reading all the praise here one would think it was a masterpiece. But it's the kind of heavy use of monologue/friendship storytelling that is so overwhelmingly popular nowadays. I keep on watching waiting for something really special to happen.
At least the character designs are very nice.

The rendition of mushoku tensei has a gorgeous first episode, don't know if you plan on seeing it... But yeah I guess we are running short of good isekai to make into anime. If then the ones that are a bit more interesting are done like Kumo desu then it may be better they don't adapt them at all...

New OP and ED seems alright...

Yay It's Slime time again...
8bit with their good production quality as always...

More new characters, more Waifu heyy...

Good fight scene from Episode 1 just to heating up a little bit...

I heard they will go back to the part that they skipped on Season 1 and fill the gap this Season, probably the 1st Cour...

I'm glad I didn't watch the recap episode because the first 5 minutes of the episode recaps the events from Season 1 and the OVA. So Rimuru leaves his post as a teacher at Freedom academy to return home to return to Tempest nation. From there he has to take care some diplomatic duties between the Animal Kingdom and Tempest federation by having both of them send delegations to each other as a request from Demon Lord Carrion to prevent further hostilities between the two nations.

so they decide to fix the event they ignore in season 1 by destroying the timeline (where the beast kingdom delegation come supposed to be before Rimuru become teacher) and by putting it in Opening (such as Rimuru first depart from Tempest to human town with Cabal team and Rimuru taking adventure guild exam where he learn how to summon demon that they didn't explain how he can summon Berreta in season 1 even though it's very important)..

at least i'm happy they remember it

Good start. Not much to say about op and ed, they're correct. But the episode itself is quite amusing. Good animation (the fights are noticeable and stimulating) and still the particular mood that we like. I'm glad our slime is back.

Hmmm I wouldn't say so, there are already 24 episodes and 5 OVAs before this one (that is in fact called episode 25).
That being said, I don't see why a story has to be childish just because it's at its start. There's plenty of anime that are serious or mature or even horrific from episode one. It's clear that this show is a light-hearted and comedic adventure kind of story, but this can also be achieved without being simplistic

Liked season 1 up till the brats invaded the plot. This season 2 ep 1 has a very weak start till about the end. I have hope still! Slimeball seems to be getting sadistic and that could be interesting.

The source material is reaching 18 LN volumes, what I mean is that what the anime has covered is really only basic world building and character introduction up to this point. The main story is really going to start later in this season, but for the most part it's just about world building and slice of life kind of things up until that point.

Lol, i wanna know what this guy’s story is:

*snip*
I love that he’s got that “stereotypical yakuza thug” look going on 😄 I almost feel like him and his short friend are a reference to something specific, but can’t place it 🤔

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.

Oh wow, i did NOT remember that at all! 😅 I kinda wanted to rewatch s1 before s2 began cuz i was sure there would be stuff i forgot (lol, turns out i was right 😋) but didn’t have time. Thx for the info!

Hmmm… I'm a bit confused. After watching the ending of the last season, I thought he would come back to find the place on fire as it was shown… so I thought things would get serious from the start.

Although getting to see Rimuru dressed up as a girl was a plus. I'm happy they added that in this season. I'm not sure if they have Rimuru dressed as a girl in the uncut version of the DVD or not on the first season.

Anyway, the episode was okay, but it didn't really go the way I was hoping it would. Perhaps things will get more serious in a few episodes. Can only hope.

Although, now I have to question the first seasons ending… what was the point of showing the city on fire?

- Btw, my favorite female character is SHION-san in TENSURA 2.
- The Art & Animation aren't lacking (my opinion), the pace seems good, & as always there are plenty of characters to see.

- I'm excited to see more of what TENSURA 2 brings to us!

I feel like it might be better to wait till this Winter 2021 season is over before binging through this anime's first half (for season 2). Else the slow tease would be too unbearable, having to wait who knows how long before we can get to the exciting parts of the story...Also, I must have seen Rimuru recapping the events from episode 1 till the present for about 5 times throughout this whole series.

Rimuru's new clothing looks great in the opening.

Sore alot of exggerated comments on reddit about the mini recap expecting it to be half the epiosde lol.

The fight at the end seemed to have been done pretty well hopefully we can expect more of the same later on in the Season.

So they have incorporated the 3 school ovas into the series which was referred to at the beginning when the lady teacher was about to come in.
And this epiosde is set before season 1s ending and expect the next two epiosdes to do the same

At first I was thinking of binge watching it after a couple of epiosdes aired but decided why not start it now. Wanna start watching more anime as a distraction due to latest sudden family events even though it is probably better to grieve instead of ignoring it but I'm not ready to yet.


Anyway glads it's back , OP seems pretty solid this season agian

Yeah, i thought i miss something from this first episode. But, as soon as i am reading some comment for these first, this is exactly the missing content before episode 23 previous season happened. Something of a big point will happening too, i am very sad reading that. But, oh well, can't blame peoples for just spoiling around. Its their job to enlightened the hype! However, i still don't know if its happening after 23 or not. So, yeah, its still a fair way to go!

One month before Rimuru really left the kids from Freedom Academy jobs. He need to established the formal diplomatic relations with Kingdom of Animal, Eurazania, which lead by Demon Beast Lord, Carrion. Tempest delegation turned over to Benimaru and Rigur. Meanwhile, the hero of tempesto puppet, Youm, arrived to bring more color for the monster nation of Jura. The arrival of Kingdom of Animal delegation seems not so kind, as expected from the beastkeepers, full of arrogancy. The white tiger bitch didn't know that the slime she mention was a fuckin god.

Then, its repeated again. A welcome greetings in front of Jura's Tempest capital, used a fun ferocious battle as its reception. What a fine way to go, tensura!

Yes goddamnit! This is how you start a season, with an informative recap of past events especially if it's been a while since the first season. At least now I'm not clueless about what's happening. Though it helps that this show doesn't have a very complex plot to begin with.

So season 2 starts off before season 1 ended. That's what I'm getting here. Seems like there was more to the freedom academy. Youmu looked so badass when he tilted his head to avoid those daggers. Great start to the season, though the last opening and ending were much better for me and well, way more sad.
