Now, if the show got dark, that would be fine- honestly it would be interesting. But it doesn't get dark it get's edgy and frankly dull, and disgustingly so too. No regrets or thought at all for very big and profound actions and no emotion or weight to whatever shams of emotion they try to shove in.
And the fights, I am not a fan of action shows in general. I don't get it. But I'm not soulless, I like a great fight scene that makes you go "OH!" and GASP and other monke sounds too. Other than a decapitation, the fights are pretty boring. If not solely for the fact that the fights are pointless and usually with characters we either don't care about, or whom fighting could probably be talked around if Rimuru decided to actually keep talking.
Nothing has any weight in the show, especially not death. I mean, we can't let anyone we know die, noooooo forget we did last season and it was very sweet and interesting. The waifu must live :,( . And then Rimuru fucking kills thousands of innocent people with 0% mercy. It was honestly disgusting to watch; and they didn't want it to be, they wanted genocide to be "cool" and "cold-blooded." Well, it wasn't. it felt completely out of character and fucking stupid and childish in the bad ways.
But, yknow, the show is very fast paced and thus despite all its issues it's easy to sit through and watch and I admit even has its good, charming VERY FEW moments. The show is popular, I'll sit through its grossness just so I can at least talk to other anime fans. I loved the first season so much, I am utterly stupified at how they could fuck it up this bad.
