Instead, we get a cash grab made of powerpoint presentations filled with excessive usage of still shots, visibly low budget CGI and subpar background art. You would expect a production befitting the light novel's popularity as its sales consistently tops the category's charts yearly. Breaking every rule set forth by its universe and making me wonder why said rules were even brought up in the first place.
Raphael has a contingency plan for everything as it's a Batman belt in the literal sense strapped with gadgets we may only discover when the plot demands it. No threat, no tension, no stakes and no consequences. This makes the show unbearable as there is no complexity to it. Rimuru has a walking plot device capable of doing anything when required: It creates portals when said to be almost impossible, extremely risky and demanding It breaks 300 years seals in mere months It gives life as it revives the dead as mentioned above It averts clear limitations set on Treyni, a spiritual guardian bound to the forest by transferring her soul in another body like it's nothing and it goes autopilot when Rimuru fails to defeat an enemy, which allows him to find ultimate victory with no casualties. After that, he pretty much becomes Jesus and revives the dead. He only meant to use this pretentious hot garbage as a sorry excuse of a setup to give him more power ups. Though it seems that the author had other plans in mind, or rather, had no plans at all since he had no interest in prolonging this narrative. "The opportunity of a lifetime for character development!" I thought to myself. This creates an interesting twist which places him in a dichotomy. The one time he does face consequences however, leads to his friends' demise.
The supporting cast, much like the mc are cookie cutters who do nothing but rave about how great Rimuru-sama is, as the Gary Stu faces no opposition nor repercussion. Usually by pulling something out of his ass with no prior foreshadowing. Repeatedly spending half of the arcs building up for the climax, but it isn't rewarding since we already know that Great Rimuru will win every battle by default and in a very uneventful fashion. What's worse is that he habitually tries to create fake tension and suspense, brimmed with shallow political aspects and surface level solutions to arising conflict. His interest lies solely in exposition dumping instead of showing us throughout the story, big flashy battles where characters shout their new epic moves, redundant dialogue and power ups left and right.
SLIME DATTA KEN SEASON 2 EPISODE 1 HOW TO
It becomes more evident to me that the author is clueless on how to write a compelling story with thought-provoking themes mixed with dynamic characters and exciting world building.
SLIME DATTA KEN SEASON 2 EPISODE 1 SERIES
The show starts off as a popcorn feel good series where you turn off your brain while watching mindless action and people building things here and there like Minecraft, only to take a complete turn and fail miserably. Welcome to the flavour of the season isekai where the mc gets randomly transferred to an unknown world, is super op for no reason, has super op allies just because to help him win every battle by default and also forgets about his previous life like it never happened at all. ~THIS REVIEW COVERS PART 1 AND 2 AND MAY CONTAIN MINOR SPOILERS~
