Preliminary (4/12 eps)
The story of Great Rimuru-sama continues. Everyone planning to watch this season should already be familiar with the story and what has already occurred. Don't read further unless you've watched previous seasons.

But I'll show my kindness and give ya'll a short summarization. The second part of season two starts immediately where the first part ended. Rimuru is on a quest to get revenge for the attack that happened in the previous part.
(You know, where a lot of villagers got "killed" and immediately resurrected because it's an unforgivable act to let characters die, according to the author.)

However back to the genuine "review" if you could even call it that, since the season is nowhere near finished at the point of writing this.
But I actually enjoyed the first season, but I have to be honest and say it's really been a downfall for the series as a whole. When the story changed focus from trying to build up a village and its people. To instead switch the focus on becoming just another overpowered isekai protagonist with a personification of mashed potatoes endeavoring to be an edgelord, to preserve its poor people in an act of revenge.

I can more or less guarantee that this season will be more heavily fixated on the action and the rivalries among the demon lords. It is safe to surmise more demon lords will get introduced and we'll learn more about them.

Well, it's too early to really tell if it will succeed or not, however. I'm starting to lose patience as I think the pacing has been really awful since the start of the season. But only time could tell if any of the problems I have with the show will get solved or complete the opposite and end as another generic isekai that didn't live up to its expectations.

Do I recommend this season? Well, if you didn't like the first two seasons then I think this is the time to drop the series. But if you enjoyed the previous installments you should give it a try and watch it for yourself and form your own opinion.
