That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime
| Considering the payoff we got from the first part of this season with the massacre compared to the mundane fight sequences we got for the final episode. This is very disappointing. I was waiting for when they dump the budget into the fight vs Clayman and expect some sakuga after all the meetings and politicals, but we ended up getting neither. It was just a mediocre fight scene... Or am I just being too optimistic and hopeful? |

| It's never disappointing if your expectations are low from the start. evil laughter Season 2 part 1 first half was a mess and it more or less got it's sh*t together in the second half. This cour was much better paced and directed, although less epic. So yeah, this season neither amazed nor disappointed me. By 9 months of continuous Slime, I kinda figured out what I'll get from this show. |

| It was just a bunch of talking but tbh I wasn’t that much of a fan of the show anyway I gave S1 a 7, 2 P1 a 7 and this season a 6. I only keep up because it’s popular. They built up hype for the fight and it ended in 2 minutes and it was literally 2 belzeebub moves and that’s all. |
| Please stop, I don’t want to see any more Dekugo😭 |
| I mean they stuck fairly close to source material so there wasn't really much to be done. There was also never going to be a great battle between Rimuru and Clayman because they're in completely different power realms. |

| My problem was all that hype they were building just for Clayman to be humiliated by Shion, then do nothing against Rimuru while everyone around them isn't even slightly concerned, I didn't expect anything of Clayman since he was shown as a joke from the start, but after he got the power up i atleast expected him to hit Rimuru once. It's just that they had all of that political talk for nothing while Rimuru could probably just solo everyone on Clayman's side and do whatever he wanted to |

Go touch some grass and don't give these stupid half-assed replies unless you have really something to say. Give some respect for yourself before simping for a show. |

Xacobe01 said: The second part wasn't bettee directed, it had atrociously bad pace and boring "cinematography" during dialogue scenes (mostly everything), so yeah, this part was a huge loss for slime The first 5-6 episodes of first half were a super pile of mess. Even at the second half the dragon daughter backstory was done awkwardly, twice. The death and immediate hopes of resurrection were done in the same episode, destroying any thematic impact. This half definitely did the pace naturally, and the cinematography was never much of an attraction here. Boring is pretty subjective term. And S1 second half is the one with atrociously bad pacing. |

Xacobe01 said: The point is, it made dialogue episodes boring, by being mostly a slideshow of characters talking mostly still, with a little bit of movement sometimes. It was boring af, and I tend to like exposition heavy anime See, I get that, but this season is full of these meetings! Iirc there are even episode names with meetings in them. And I'd say these conversations were done significantly better than the ones done before because they are going through it grittily as they should. It's not that static, there are things like a moving Ramiris or manga page flipping Veldie in the background always. It is always a challenge to adapt dialogue heavy parts from LNs. And because this season portion HAS finally decided to not go snippy-snappy with conversations, it suddenly feels slow and dragging.  |

| I liked this season and the other one, sure it didn't get adapted with the same sync but it left nothing out, fantastic music, the directing is great, and voice acting is perfect as always and I believe the animation is good nothing over the top but not smth you'd go so far as to call mediocre or above average, I gave this an 8/10 to both seasons cuz I enjoyed it, can't wait for the movie, I'm sure the animation department will do better considering it's a movie this time. |

| I dont really care too much about fight scene since this anime used to show more diplomacy stuff rather than fight scene. (it take 5 or 6 episode every season) Since Clayman is such the weakest and the most idiotic Demon Lord ever, it should be fair to show fight scene only in 2 minute. That why Rimuru defeat him very easily. I already know the weakest part of this show was fighting scene since first season. I still give 8/10, i dont think this show really masterpiece to me (still good show) but for people like their story and character (being OP or somewhat else) or maybe diplomacy stuff, they maybe give higher rating than me |
| That's how the LN is. I haven't read it but I've seen on other social medias that it's a very good and faithful adaptation. They can't skip all the talking stuff just bc ppl want action scenes. Yeah, the fights were super short but that's because Clayman was weak af so nothing to do there. |
 |
| Like some others have said already, it was never meant to be some big fight that lasts half of the episode's runtime or whatever. Rimuru even said it himself that it wasn't really worth fighting him which is why he sent out shion to take him on at first. The difference between their strength was night and day. The talking parts are very important for setting up not just what happened in this season, but also what will happen in the future. They couldn't skip it and the other political groups/nations needed to know it. They also had to establish relations with the Sorcer's Dynasty so they couldn't skip that either. Because again, it's important for the future of the story and the country of Tempest. |

| so i'm not the only one who thought like that should i set it lower for the upcoming movie? |
| Too much talking if we considering about this second half only. If this is not slime, it would be fucking trash tho. |

You had the chance to actually tell me where I was wrong, but you are instead reporting your lack of interpretation skills.

| @ayaan692 the Ai has started to awaken in plain sight how could we have been so blind...? the fate of humanity is in danger |
| I don't understand such high ratings for this anime. I don't think I've ever seen such a slow series. Entire episodes could be talked about nothing, and new information could be summarized in 5 minutes. But why, when you can add baths in the bathhouse, Shion's idiotic behavior, repeating scenes, etc. And then there is music that is not there, because it is so bland + very predictable one-sided fights. This walpurgis arc was supposed to be so cool, and we only got Clayman who made a fool of himself and a bunch of demon kings, where two of them act like annoying children, the other two suddenly left because there are to weak and the rest are just some randoms. Only Leon and Guy are showing up somehow. |

| disappointing to say the least . the devoid of any sort of tension/emotions /stakes fights , the just pathetic supposed "villain" , the overuse of the unfunny jokes (which was already an eye-rolling aspect of slime , but this season just had too much of it) the trite dialogues etc , to name just a few of the gripes i had . There were like 2 eps which had atleast somewhat interesting developments , both solely conversation focused . The fights were all just flashy and literally nohing to be excited about , as the result and build up was just as boring and predictable . Very dissapointed . previous entries werent exactly the best either , but atleat they werent filled with flaws like this one was . |
ThatRantGuy said: They spent 6 episodes telling you what they were going to do in the other 6 and then did it. I wouldn’t consider that good pacing. I don't see why that's a demonstration of bad pacing. What you pointed out was predictable narrative structure. Plus I don't think that anything that ultimately transpired was totally planned out (in first half). Like Shuna taking out the Skeleton finger. Or just anything that ultimately happened at the Walpurgis meeting. Whatever you are considering required more or less time to get exposure doesn't exist. The whole season is structured like a set-up for future arcs. Season 2 part 2 actually starts something - the reign of Demon Lord Rimuru. It isn't the absolute end, or dedicatedly a payoff of whatever was done in Season 2 part 1. Many viewers aren't noticing this, and I am not even a source reader. |

ghier said: Tbh, I wanted more political intrigue at Walpurgis. Way too much lighthearted goofiness took up the time that could have been spent on maybe a conversation between Rimuru and Valentine about Hinata’s assassination attempt and the person who instigated her. Or maybe there could be more heightened tensions between any number of the attendees. There’s a lot of history with Veldora that could cause some bad blood b/w Rimuru and the others. The way they resolved the thing with Milim was also very easygoing and lighthearted. There could be any number of more interesting ways to handle it. Whatever though, ya know. It’s still entertaining I guess. Also, kinda confused how Laplace is suddenly strong when he was running before. Idk, maybe it will be explained in the movie that comes out NEXT YEAR. Jeez man. I’m so out of the loop with some of these things. Laplace was always strong, he's the strongest of the clowns. But he's a scout and prefers fleeing over fighting. Roy's taunting made him stay and fight. Vampires are weakened when it's the full moon. |
| It's not the show that disappoints, but your expectations did. |
