I was insanely hyped after the first part of season 2. After slime boy became a Demon Lord, I thought, man its all up from here. I guess I was wrong.
From reading the comment sections and stuff the best parts people like is how absolutely ridiculous, characters act in serious moments, aka the comedy (I'm looking at you Veldora). I assumed, from the general tone of the first season and the first part of the second season that this wasn't going to be a comedy anime. It has some funny moments sure but thankfully it never felt like the main objective of any episode. This "part" however has been boring and has had an extreme focus on comedy. I enjoyed the lighthearted nature of season 1 and having that escalate into a dark showdown of revenge was extremely compelling. However.....nothing.
The story feels boring, the characters feel boring, the scenes that are supposed to be epic, intense, and heart wrenching...boring. All the emotion that was built up at the end of season one and season 2 part one has been lost. I don't mind having a super OP main character, if you at least make a villain of similar strength. Something that still gives the fight meaning even though u know the MC is going to win anyways.
For me this second part was a huge step down and I feel like I've wasted my time. I can only hope the final episode provides a little bit of satisfaction and maybe next season improves/goes back to the more serious tone with only small bits of humor thrown in. Honestly this "part" feels like they got stuck in writing the Slime Diaries and forgot to stop.
Update: The final episode did nothing.
