*This review contains spoilers*
In the second season of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, Rimuru is mainly interested in creating equality for fantasy beings and humans. It would involve negotiating property, spheres of influence, and moral ethics with other races. If that conflict sounds interesting, you'll be disappointed. The story sweeps the perceived plot under the rug in favor of a ane-sided war and meaningless dialogue. I would take preferred to come across Rimuru gain equality for his people diplomatically equally they hinted at. Instead, we got a formulaic fantasy war that became entirely pointless in the cease. If y'all liked the first flavor of That Time I got Reincarnated equally a Slime just wished it had been edgier, you might enjoy this. Despite the copious amount of dialogue, Slime is incapable of intelligently resolving conflicts without having characters fight. Aside from slightly better than average blitheness quality, Slime is like to every other action isekai clogging up the seasonal anime roster. You could debate it'south because the main graphic symbol began a civilisation, but it's surface level. Why is Rimuru's society so perfect? Why doesn't it have any problems? It's because he is perfect in the eyes of the writer and the audition. He'due south written for y'all to project yourself onto a seemingly flawless hero. The weirdest office is, no 1 questions him. He's e'er right. The show had chances to prove it is mature by letting its dead characters stay dead. Just death is never permanent unless it's the bad guys. The beginning half of the season spins its wheels like a wagon slowly approaching a cohesive story. Rimuru and co. fool around, and information technology is more than or less what y'all'd look from an OVA of a typical anime. Plenty of fanservice to go around, the aforementioned lame jokes, no character development. The just 'story' in this section is exposition dumps. Through conversations with aristocrats, Rimuru makes trade agreements for supplies. Their negotiations involve drinking alcohol, then immediately agreeing with each other. It'south deadening. Rimuru withal goes off on tangents explaining his next plans as an almighty leader to no 1 in item. His dialogue continues to experience like meaningless word salad ripped directly from the lite novel. He narrates to the audience every bit if the author has never heard of the term "show-don't-tell." The writers were somewhat aware of how deadening the script was because Rimuru has a few unfunny quips to break upwardly the monotony. The English dub makes more attempts at sense of humour. That's even less funny than the Japanese jokes. His jokes read like they were written by eye-aged investors rather than someone with a sense of humour. The rest of the bandage doesn't add to the humdrum script—or much of anything. There is no reason to intendance about whatever of these characters. Rinmuru's followers accept individual drama, just it ultimately has no begetting on the story. Despite being overnice to everyone, Rimuru doesn't seem to care when his people die—and I tin't blame him. The side cast just vomits exposition to progress the plot, and all of information technology is presented as slide shows that drag on for minutes on end: similar to The Promised Neverland S2. Compare these characters to the bandage of Re:Zero; at that place are fewer of them, colorful personalities, they each get backstories, and the hero needs their assist to succeed. Most of all, they have enough depth to intrigue united states of america. In Slime Time, Rimuru tin do everything on his own. In that location are unnecessary characters, and the relevant ones barely get label. Even the virtually present side characters are fanservice vehicles. Like Shion, AKA puppet adult female. In case yous forgot her (I don't blame y'all), she is Rimuru's secretary who doesn't practise anything except flop effectually and throw tantrums like a newborn child. Shion is your typical power fantasy waifu bait—she'southward inexplicably in love with the main character. Despite having powers, she constantly needs help, not just physically, simply Rimuru needs to pacify her when she behaves like a child. It was well-nigh laughable when we found out she was unceremoniously killed off-screen, along with scores of Rimuru'due south citizens. It was glaringly obvious they'd be resurrected by the all-powerful Rimuru. At least that annoying scantily-clad loli was absent this season. The almost memorable subplot told a sappy dear story between ii irrelevant characters. Their relationship progressed too fast even to intendance. Still, it was an attempt. The adult female was a cliche dryad in distress; despite having powers (similar Shion), she'due south incapable of doing annihilation independently. Hilariously, she even gets a powerup when her boyfriend hugs her. Unfortunately, the couple became fiddling more than Rimuru's toys. In the eighth episode, Rimuru brutally murdered her. He declared, "You need to die," with no explanation, then killed her in front of her lover. They embrace melancholically, he screams, she dies. Shortly after that, he reveals he had to rip out her centre and replace it with a new one to prevent the demon lord from controlling her. It'southward pretty convoluted, simply what dislocated me the well-nigh is how unnecessary it was. Rimuru could've hands done the replacement apace, in private, or at least warned her fellow first. But no, this is Slime Time. Rimuru plays with their lives and our emotions for artificial drama. This scene is a microcosm of the show'southward biggest problem: The sad moments are inevitable and blatantly mapped out. If a villain dies, they stay dead, but the skilful guys rarely die permanently. I've seen people defend this lack of stakes past saying, "It's a one-act show. Of course, they come back to life." But why kill the characters, to begin with? In that location's null funny about information technology unless you lot find ridiculously predictable writing hilarious. Warning: Word of sexual assault below. To tell y'all the truth, none of this intriguing political tension began the state of war—just comically evil villains who stirred drama for the sake of information technology. The daughter who defendant the goblin smirked menacingly when all the townspeople believed her immediately. Information technology'south lazy writing, at best. At worst, information technology shows the writer is out of touch with reality; women rarely falsely accuse men. Portraying these kinds of shallow conflicts makes women who speak upward about sexual harassment only adds to the stigma that they deserve to be ashamed and discredited. If you're familiar with these kinds of controversies, you'll know the anime community harbors an inordinate amount of people who harass the victims. I should've known Slime wasn't above using these tinker-toy Shield Hero plot devices. One of the girl's partners, a human being with dark pilus and a hoodie, is a 1-dimensional pervert—no different from Sword Fine art Online'southward antagonists. He objectifies Rinmuru's female companions by saying, "I'll make her my slave. I'll torture her until she cries and begs for forgiveness." Then when he fights Shion, he makes her collapse. He smirks creepily, and the photographic camera is beneath her boobs. It's trying to make the threat of sexual assault titillating. This hentai-tier screenwriting does zippo but pander to the lowest mutual denominator. The accusation leads to an all-out war fueled by racism towards the goblins. When Rinmuru sees the aftermath, he realizes there are consequences to his actions: Humans kill and injure his orc followers because of prejudice towards monsters. Long ago, he told them never to belittle other races, making them too trusting of bigots. What is the bulletin? Racism is inevitable fifty-fifty if yous attempt to be amicable. The problem with portraying racism in a fantasy setting is, creatures like goblins and orcs are fundamentally unlike beings (and predisposed to violence). There's no comparing to the real world. On the production side, there's a noticeable turn down in quality: animation shortcuts, dull fight scenes, simplified character designs. There were times it looked like they used background art assets from roadblocks. Strong CGI character models were placed right in front end of the camera—it'south like they didn't even care if we noticed information technology. The excessive nevertheless-images extended dialogue scenes, which likely acquired some of the 'tell-don't-bear witness' issues. Montages, telling, non showing. Too many recaps every episode—at that place was a maximum of three minutes of epitomize in episode nine. Even if you were a fan of the commencement season, yous would have problem non noticing the breathy production problems in this one. At the very least, the opening and ending tracks are unmatched as usual. Role 1 of season 2 was a waste material. Rimuru gained withal another powerup with picayune to no effort, turning himself into a God. In Part ii, he volition embark on a quest to defeat this adversary—a comically evil demon lord. He is wholly devoted to saving his friends from imminent danger, and to do that, he must become the new demon lord. It won't raise the scale of Rimuru's powers to new heights, and the demon lord volition probable exist easily defeated. If it miraculously becomes adept, I volition eat my words. That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime plays it prophylactic by never letting anyone always be in danger. There are no stakes, no real threats, and as a comedy it'due south worthless. This is a show that treats its viewers like children who are incapable of losing their favorites toys. It had i major opportunity to bear witness it could kill off side characters and become a fantasy series worth taking seriously, but it isn't. It wasted its final chance.
At around the halfway point, the most contrived conflict in all of Slime Time began. One of Rimuru's civilians, a goblin kid, gets falsely accused of sexually assaulting a girl—and that's how the war ignites. Although the second flavor'southward political backdrop is one of doubtfulness, information technology is not why the war began. Rimuru and his followers want things to change, namely integrating his mixed-race society with the homogeneous human culture. The church represents the humans, who desire social club to backslide—to achieve this, they effort to genocide all monsters. Rimuru's solution to the state of war is to win the war in 5 minutes (even those who surrender) and colonize their land. I cannot root for a protagonist who willingly kills people who surrender. That's a war crime in our world. Though I suppose that makes Rimuru no unlike than the average politician in the U.s.. He's like the The states president of the isekai genre.

When Tensura season ii was appear last year, I instantly leapt for joy at the opportunity to see some of my favourite LN scenes adapted. I loved the job 8bit did with the commencement season and was confident that the series was in good easily. Fortunately, I had my faith rewarded with a keen first cour.
All the things that fabricated tensura a striking when the first season aired are back and even better than earlier. The comedy, earth-building, political drama and strategic planning that separates Tensura from other contemporary isekai are hither in spades and make the 2d flavour very enjoyable. Like nearly things, Tensura's outset cour is not without faults, however. While it was great to be dorsum in Tempest and encounter some of my favourite scenes animated, besides often this season there was poor pacing and anime original fourth dimension wasting recaps. They really brainstorm to exist noticeable around halfway through the cour. Several scenes really could have been condensed into a few minutes rather than taking up one-half of an episode. When you get to these points it'll be pretty apparent what I'yard talking almost, and unfortunately they prevent me from giving the season the highest possible class. Thankfully, 8bit did such a stellar job on the final 3 episodes that it's almost enough to make you forget about those bug. Despite the pacing issues that the middle of the cour had, I was extremely pleased with the overall job that 8bit did in these first 12 episodes and I'chiliad looking forward to what will exist an even better 2nd cour, based on the volumes I assume volition be adapted. If you were a fan of flavour ane of Tensura, information technology goes without proverb y'all'll want to check this out. Tensura S2 Pt.1 gets 9 sages out of 10.

[Overall score: 6.90]
This season is a mix of one-half disappointment with half satisfaction. One-half disappointment because the pacing has been absolutely terrible for more than half of the episodes, and half satisfaction because they redeemed everything with the concluding 2 episodes.
5 out of 12 episodes are Rimuru doing Rimuru things, merely like in the previous season. And then, the story suddenly takes a 180. Half of the episodes are but tedious. Information technology'southward so boring that the outset few episodes experience like fillers. Nosotros should've gotten the unabridged Rimuru condign Demon Lord thing way earlier, yet it took this many episodes. If you lot've read the manga or the light novel, the pacing will be a huge result to you. The biggest problem with this flavor is the terrible pacing. I don't know what went wrong, merely the pacing was and then horrible, that fifty-fifty though I've read the manga once, I went back to re-read it. Shion was killed in the process of all the chaos, only of course, she wasn't killed because there 'happens' to be some fashion to bring her dorsum. I think this decease was completely meaningless if they were gonna exist live once again through some kind of magic. And of course, for some unknown reason, the anime decided to make Rimuru less badass than he was in the manga. And don't you remember that it's a bit ironic, how Rimuru is apparently 'merciless' towards the soldier who marched on Tempest, but then again, he but forgives Myulan. The soldiers were in worse position than Myulan, if they didn't follow orders, their family dorsum abode might've been killed. Some of them weren't even involved in the killing of Shion and others, some of them were simply following orders. But of course, Rimuru is allowed to mercilessly kill all of them. Why? Because they aren't beautiful anime girls. Why did Rimuru forgive Myulan and so easily, without literally Whatever FORM of penalization? Well, because she'due south a cute anime girl. Isn't information technology rule no. 1 to never hurt a cute anime girl no matter what kind of evil shit they do? And then the author tries to justify this shit cause by saying that he forgave Myulan because he needed Youm'south cooperation. It'south honestly such a laughable reason, I always get a large express joy when people attempt to defend Myulan or Rimuru for forgiving Myulan. Who cares about Youm? Who cares most Falmuth? Rimuru can be friends with Dwargon and all other countries while not giving a shit almost what happens to Falmuth, but no, for some reason he needed Youm. Rimuru is the protagonist and the sole MC of this anime, even so side characters get more screen fourth dimension than him. Expert side characters like Benimaru and Souei barely become any screen time, side characters similar Gabiru and Geld get as well much screen time. The characters are a mess. The newly introduced ones are even worse, especially the antagonists. The antagonists are laughable. Every bad guy has a motivation or a goal, but these new antagonists don't have any of them. The bad guys are terribly written, it came off as the author miserably trying to portray these bad guys equally truly evil and annoying. Did the author succeed? Only partially. They are nevertheless horribly written. The male monarch of Falmuth is a male monarch, only he'due south probably the most braindead character in the entire series. Almost makes you wonder, how did he get a rex of an unabridged land? The animation is an upgrade since final season. It'due south probably the well-nigh impressive thing nearly this flavor. Merely yeah, information technology's okay, it'due south nothing impeccable or remarkable enough to talk most. The soundtracks may exist the second about redeeming thing, some time they make up one's mind to put some cool soundtrack over fights, which I can appreciate. Other than that, the opening is absolutely remarkable. It perfectly fits Tensura'south theme. I admit, this season has been lackluster and final 2 episodes could only do much to salve the unabridged anime. Every other episode, other than the final two episodes, felt unimaginably ho-hum. There were less fights last season yet it managed to stay more interesting than this season. Since I've read ahead into the source, does it get any ameliorate? Yes, probably..? I can simply promise that the next season won't have this pacing. Practice we have something to wait frontward to? Yep, and that is Tensura Nikki. Unlike this season, Tensura Nikki volition stay truthful to it's cadre. If you desire a wholesome, low-cal-hearted side story, this is god damn it. Cartel I say, it's even better than the original. It feels less like a filler than the first 4 episodes of this season. As for this season, since it still has those key elements of Tensura and likewise a proper plot that works.. somehow.. a 6.90 will be the most accurate rating I tin give to this.
"In other words, because you valued your ain pitiful life more you've decided to damn my people."
This was the line that made me think that Rimuru finally had a change in his attitude, which of grade, he didn't. Considering beginning, it was left out in the anime, second, moments after that he forgives Myulan. I don't know why 8bit decided to do this, but it definitely wasn't the right call.
Even Gabiru is more than useful and important that Youm. This guy literally fell in dear with a woman he barely knows, after staying with her for a few days. He loves her so much that he can fifty-fifty go confronting his master that he knew longer than he knew Myulan. He loves her then much that he tin lay down his life for her or atone for sins she committed. It's almost like he'south never been with another adult female. And yep at that place'southward some other beastman which I don't requite a shit virtually, that as well likes her and will lay downwardly his life for her. Then she got two people in her harem within a few god damn days.

"Note, this review doesnt comprise spoilers"
My god....never did I undertsand the hype of this anime. I talked to some people on Discord why they liked information technology and they said, "I like the slice of Life elements in the anime" and "the anime is funny". And notwithstanding I dont understand, yeah I could encounter the piece of life elements simply people this season die correct and left and bear witness claret because the anime is trying to be "Dark" but still the fashion is to kittenish for the theme of the anime itself. I dont like this anime maybe becuase it isnt for me or the show is but objectivley bad just like my English. Story- Characters- 1. Comedic characters 1. Man oh man, why are there and so many characters in this catagory. Like 40% of all chracters of this testify belonged hither. In the entire 12 episodes of season 2 I didnt laugh or smile a bit. I was like, "tin can this already end please". For some reason the comendy is only bad in this show, characters make funny faces and annoying sounds and think I am supposed to laugh, the jokes get repetitve and only badly written just similar the characters them cocky. And lets go dorsum to an other point. Because so many characters in this bear witness are "Comedic" is even trying to make the anime "DARK" an extremly stupid idea. For other anime similar AOT its justified because there merely like a few characters and they are likewise well written. And so, delight finish doing this to me. 2. I dont even have to explain myself do I. Female person chracters with boobs of the size of her caput is already plenty to make me detest an anime. Exept ofcourse if she is well written, well saidly no. None of the Fanservice characters are well written. Its just becuase the author didnt have a program what to do in certian scenes so he was similar "hmmm, boobs are a good idea" please, requite me a intermission. I remember like 15% belongs to this catagory. But still, fuck that trope homo. 3. Well, I dont empathize but I deceit even name a single character in the evidence likewise the chief grapheme. This simply shows that this show is but filled with pointless side characters that have something to say considering of bullshit. I dont know why and how this happend merely they could take at least some well written characters right? Sigh, I guess not. Verry distressing indeed. And I dont know if I merely dont pay a lot of attention or if the testify is just bad. I forgot to talk about the protaganist just he is the best witten grapheme in this show but that isnt really a plot-twist because he has the most screen time. I liked him more in his slime form and so in his loli grade because that is such obvious fan service. Non the worst Isekai Protaganist just not the best either. Sound- Art- Enjoyment- Overall-
The story of this flavor expands the worldbuilding and introduces new races and characters and likewise the racism against humans. Every bit I already said in the get-go of my review that people are dying right and left and its up to our Main Protaganist to revive pointless chracters simply hey, he has to practice information technology because the story tells him to. Look, we dont get a sad but good anime similar AOT where a lot of characters die and where you are similar damn, they will never come back only in this anime its similar "Oh no, this chracter died, anyways". Fucking stupid. And its never established why humans are racist against monsters, is information technology becuase they are "Different". How the hell do humans have this much power, they arent as strong as orcs, they deceit alive as long every bit elves and they dont have that skillful of a olfactory property compared to beastman merely still they have this much control. Couldnt the anime focus more than on that instead of our Protaganist killing a bunch of meatballs. An other trouble with this anime is that the Protaganist is just to OP. The tension is just removed and I just dont care near whatever fight in this evidence because I know how its going to turn out. Besides I dont sympathise the side-quest considering those are fucking lame simply hey, nosotros got to have them or else we will lost our fans. And what the hell is up that the Mc is teaching a bunch of kids how to use magic, never understood that part but you know what. I dont care actually, becuase of how bad the story itself already is. Likewise, the pace is insulting for how fast information technology goes but thats non that big of a complaint.
Characters in the show belong in iii catagories and none of them are well written or funny in any kind of way so lets talk virtually that.
2. Fanservice
three. Pointless side characters
I tought information technology sounded fine, nothing special.
As I already said, I think that the art fashion is not that bad but if the evidence tries to have some darker elements, the art doesnt work well with that but the art isnt actually that insulting like devilman crybaby,"Cough,Coughing"
I dont know how I feel virtually the show but maybe its simply me. Peradventure this isnt my cup of tea and maybe it isnt even meant for me only I just didnt enjoy it alot. Yep some of the fight were verry well animated stil, I knew how the fight was going to end and that kinda ruined it for me. Likewise as I said, the characters themself are just bad and dont add together anything to the story or the anime. This wasnt a fun experience and thats pitiful becuase I expected more.
You know how I experience about this anime. In my opinion it isnt a good anime and is as good as the average Isekai. It tried to be something diffent and they did it kinda, but still I encounter this anime equally non expert and I promise the next season isway better and fixes some of the flaws this season has.
