Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken 2nd Season Part 2

The nation of Tempest is in a festive mood after successfully overcoming the surprise attack from the Falmuth Army and the Western Holy Church. Beyond the festivities lies a meeting between Tempest and its allies to decide the future of the Nation of Monsters. The aftermath of the Falmuth invasion, Milim Nava's suspicious behavior, and the disappearance of Demon Lord Carrion—the problems seem to keep on piling up.

Rimuru Tempest, now awakened as a True Demon Lord, decides to go on the offensive against Clayman. With the fully revived Storm Dragon Veldora, Ultimate Skill Raphael, and other powerful comrades, the ruler of the Tempest is confident in taking down his enemies one by one until he can face the man pulling the strings.

"THAT TIME I GOT REINCARNATED AS A SLIME 2ND SEASON PART 2"

Genre- Action, Adventure, Comedy, Isekai, Fantasy.

With the coming of the new age, things are bound to change, and just like that, evolutions keep taking place without us even noticing. They might be as big as an evolution of a human to a monster or as small as a leaf turning to dust. Still, without fail, evolution does happen and in the second part of season 2, we see just that with the "Jura Tempest Federation" and its residence.

The 2nd part is more inclined towards politics, the build-up of the story for season 3, and ... more than anything the introduction of characters that we are likely to see further in the coming seasons. Halting us with the defeat of the 'Kingdom of Falmuth' in its prologue, the 2nd part starts right where it left off and resumes the story of what different policies Rimuru must apply to further his goal of living in harmony with monsters and humans. This season also shows you the growth of all characters from the last war, making the second part more in sync with the reality of how a nation functions and how each individual grows in their own war after something terrible.

All the while that it does that, this season also helps to lay the foundation of season 3 as it introduces us to key characters in the anime and gives us a rough insight into what we are to expect. The animation deteriorates a little compared to the prologues, but given the amazing fight scenes in the end, you can say it might have been just worth it to save budget in the beginning and go all out at the end.

This anime is absolutely a "MUST WATCH."

Mixed Feelings

This review is for the entirety of what is currently available on blu ray in North America as of the time of this review (March 2024), which is all of seasons 1 and 2, through episode 48. In mentioning the blu ray, I'd like to start this review by quoting, word for word, the back of the blu ray case for the very beginning of the series- "Ordinary 37-year-old Satoru Mikami dies and is reincarnated as the most unremarkable creature imaginable- a slime. Initially things are pretty grim. He's blind, deaf and weak". There's a bit more, but it's these opening remarks I'd like to ... discuss. In short, they're very misleading.

Perhaps they use the word "initially" very, very loosely, but what ACTUALLY happens is our main character is completely, utterly, laughably overpowered within just the first episode or two and only gets more ludicrously powerful from there. This show is falsely advertised as starting out weak and from the bottom and slowly, with great struggle and sacrifice, beginning to gain power. In reality, Rimuru Tempest is Kirito levels of overpowered from very early on and the entire show revolves around everyone around him bowing down to his untouchable strength and swearing fealty without much of a fight. It's another generic isekai where the main character is conveniently among the most powerful beings in the entire world and the fate of races, countries and perhaps the entire world around him rests on his shoulders.

As a whole, while I wouldn't cite it as my FAVORITE genre, isekai has consistently been the SAFEST genre of anime for my wife and I in that we almost always enjoy them, even the unremarkable ones, and it's very rare for us to find one we legitimately dislike. We've seen a ton of them, as you can see by checking out my list, and I mention all of this as a prelude to my opinion that there isn't anything about this anime in particular, highly regarded as it is, that stands out as being special or memorable amongst an ever-crowded field of genre contemporaries. It cannot measure up to the gorgeous visuals of Grimgar, the world-building of Log Horizon, the combat or emotional punch of Sword Art Online, the comedic moments of Is It Wrong To Try To Pick Up Girls In A Dungeon or the darker more mature tone of Goblin Slayer. You're left with a program that, while not a blatant failure at anything, simply isn't amazing at anything either and fails to distinguish itself.

Something I personally didn't care for, and perhaps it's just a classic viewer versus target audience mismatch, is what felt to me like a blatantly more juvenile tone as a whole, and definitely far too much "Bro, what?" and "Bestie for restie" and similar clearly aimed at teenagers ways of speaking throughout the entire program. The target audience for this is clearly younger than I am, and that's fine, but in that same breath I'd tell you this is perhaps not the correct isekai for the mature adult viewer. The second season does have a somewhat darker tone than the first, which I appreciated, but at no point is this truly a dark anime, nor does the obnoxious "cool if you're 15 or younger" manner of speaking ever let up.

While unwaveringly portrayed as the protagonist who we're supposed to be rooting for, I'm not all that convinced that Rimuru Tempest is all that great of a person. In the second season he commits cold-blooded, merciless genocide and this is not questioned or pushed back on by any of his numerous underlings. He had a reason for doing it, and he told us it's right and it's okay, and therefore it is and we support him. Since his humor and manner of speaking fell really flat for me, combining that with what came off to me as very self-righteous, power-hungry decisions throughout the entirety of the show, I found this main character difficult to connect with or be enchanted by. He never seems to think twice about his right or his worthiness to command so many and to hold the fate of so many in his hands. He simply moves forward, growing stronger all the time, and is always 100% self-assured in everything he does. He never truly feels threatened by any enemy and there's never a fight he's not absolutely certain he will win, which simply harkens back to my point about him being overpowered- he is and he knows it, and he exploits it to the max throughout the show and never hits so much as a speed bump. The show also grants him countless ridiculously convenient benefits, such as introducing an underling out of nowhere, himself super overpowered, who immediately swears his loyalty to Rimuru Tempest and does his bidding without second thought.

This review probably made it sound like I really disliked this show, and that isn't the case. Judging by its score here on MAL it's definitely overrated, but that's not the same as me disliking it. It does have most of the bread and butter of what makes isekai so appealing in the first place- an enormous cast of characters, many different races, skills/leveling/progression, fantasy elements, etc- but for me there simply wasn't anything about this program that pushed it over the top of the numerous others that I've watched and enjoyed, and as a whole I found it just a bit too immature and aimed at too young of an audience for my personal taste. I thought it was OKAY, and I'll watch the third season whenever it's available to me, but if a friend asked me to give them a list of five isekai I think they should consider watching, this definitely wouldn't be on it. Meh...

OBJECTIVE RATING- 7~
PERSONAL ENJOYMENT RATING- 7 and not a fraction of a point more

Not Recommended

I have not written any reviews for any of the previous seasons cause I think the story content and overall execution was fine but for this particular part 2 of the season, its really bad. Ignoring the fact that this is basically another season for an ongoing series, the actual content explored in the story is not worth a 12 episode season.

Spoilers ahead but compared to so many other shows out there, who enjoys a season that amounts to 6 episodes of pure debating and then followed by some one sided action with no in universe tension. It is cathartic to see one sided fights ... but that only works when there is tension to go along with it. What make it so satisfying is seeing someone get their just desserts that deserves it and that does happen here but its the only thing that happens this season. The last half of the season is someone slowly getting their asses handed to them for 6 episodes.

I have to say this season has been overall uneventful and could have chosen to tighten up the pacing and focus on potentially more interesting content instead of dedicating so much time to slowly exploring the clayman plotline.
