The makings of a 10 but ruined by a single episode. Be ready you will love this season but episode 9 is one of the oddest and boring episodes I have ever seen in this sort of show. It starts off strong then becomes soppy and ruined. That said be ready for episode 3 I cried with laughter and I am 100% going back to watch that one again after this.
The art is superb once again and has improved slightly since last time. I think it is a great watch.
The OP and ED are both pretty average but once again we have the absolutely spectacular sounds of conflict and magic here that more than make up for any issues with sound.
The characters develop hard and fast and it keeps you entertained. We get some new and rid of the old in places by moving the story past them. You learn of others similar to the protagonist and meet the truth of the cruelty of the world. Rimuru seems to be in a paradise but really most of the world is against him and his kind it seems. They protect Shuna which is extremely important though.
The show is fun from start to finish if you excuse episode 9. It does foreshadow what is to come but just so awful. I look forward to the second part of the season when it comes. Also, despite Shuna being amazing, Milim is best girl still. You really learn about Milim's past.
9/10. Some great new characters and girls in this one. Suphia was a close contender this time too.
