That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 2

Sleep inducing. I somehow made it through this anime, but almost every episode made me almost fall asleep. And I am serious about this. If you have insomnia just watch this; it is a great cure. I thought the first season was good, but this one is filled with endless talking about some of the most boring subjects imaginable. They just talk for ages explaining very simple concepts, but it takes them almost a full episode to explain something that isn't complicated. The main character is dumb. In, I think episode 3, he is warned that Falmour (or something like that) will wage war because they want power. This person tells him the reason why they will attack. About 2 episodes later, the protagonist has forgotten and says something like 'I cannot figure out why they would attack.' You were just told an episode ago! Does he have short-term memory loss? In the midst of these troubles and threats, the main character decides to take a trip to meet his students in another city. Great timing! He teleports there for pretty much no reason but to put the main character in that place. There is no other reason for him to be there. And I bet you can guess what happens next! Yes, a great surprise happens when Falmour attacks his territory whilst he is away. But the reason he can't back is even more stupid than him leaving. The main character has the ability to teleport directly from the city back to his territory, but he decides not to do that. He decides to ride out of the front gate and teleport from outside the city where he gets trapped by a spell. This spell stops him from teleporting and he gets attacked. If he just teleported from the city (the sensible thing), he would never have that issue. The most annoying thing, though, is when one of his allies dies. There is a lot of boohoo and upset for about 10 minutes, but this turns out to be pointless because the main character revives the person about 5 minutes later. A completely pointless storyline. It would be better if they stayed dead or, at least, left them dead for far longer.

Let me start by giving description of each aspect: 1. Story: 8 Its starting is slow and seems boring but it rapidly picks up pace and its ending makes up for its start, rather more than makes up for its start. I liked season 1 and this show has never let me down. The former half was a bit boring and the latter half is outstanding, so I will give it an 8 for story. 2. Art:9 This show never disappointed me when it came to art work. The world building and the graphics are superb, from the beginning to the very end. Therefore I will give it a 9 for art. 3.Sound: 9 Sound effects are what drew me in to this show when I started watching its first season and it has only transcended its own limits and has never been a let down. A 9 for sound effects. 4. Character: 9 Character design are all magnificent, in fact the portrayal of my favorite character was done as I was expecting it to be, I have no complaints with the character design. Therefore a 9 for character. 5. Enjoyment: 9 I thoroughly enjoyed the show, from the story plot to the op characters to the character design, it was a show worth watching and am eagerly waiting for the next part of the show. Overall: 9

“Time flies by” is a very common and relatable statement that we like to spout occasionally, but ever so often when you're anticipating something, it flashes by without notice. It's easy to forget that Tensura season 1 air fall 2018, even when it feels like yesterday, that was 3 years ago as of writing this (2021), and the second season being announced as early as the first one ended did not help either. After the massive BOOM Tensura season one had in the Anime community, a lot of people turned back to Isekai Anime hoping for similar quality content that Tensura spoiled us with, the craving was real, and it lasted all of this time but nothing came along that took over what it started until season two was upon us, and a BOOM it was indeed. Tensura season two took no break, it adopted everything good about the first season and built on top of it an intense, unpredictable story that surprised the entire fandom sending us on uproars and shook discussions for weeks. The series has always left dark hints here and there but the wholesome slimy boy made us easily overlook them and think of the portrayed world as a magical haven where many laughs and goofs are shared and the evil is only an exaggerated form of a coping mechanism for the opposing sides, however, the nail has been hit so perfectly in the midst of suspense that the series solidifies its dark reach and grasp of its own story, no afraid of shifting the mood and vibes it made us comfortable with for a season and a half. Characterization was a big part of what made Tensura 2 great, Rimumru, for instance, received a massive upgrade/change to what we've been seeing him as, so great that it overshadows everything else. A character development that feels like someone snapping out after many attempts of calming down and thinking logically, a very realistic reaction for what led it to happen. But without leading into any spoilers, let's leave it at that. Story (8/10) Art (8.2/10) Sound (8/10) Characters (8/10) Enjoyment (9/10) Overall (8.24/10)

I’ve been a big fan of Slime for half a decade already, and seeing it finally animated makes me really happy. The world building in this anime is great, it is very gradual and complex. This is because the studio really has a lot of content to work with and I guess the main challenge is really tying up the written down content to a visually impressive manner which this anime manages to fulfill. In terms of story, the general feel of the overall plot is sort-off different from the previous season, I won’t spoil so I’ll just say that the sequence of the plot is very polished and smooth. The world building is still strong this season, a lot of factions would be introduced along with small hints on motives and drivers of these factions. What’s really impressive with slime however is how it goes back to previously introduced characters, factions or concepts, there is very little wasted characters in this series even though the amount of characters here is so vast you’ll still find every character memorable. My previously disliked characters has managed to grow on me, another one of those slime magic (this series really likes making friends of previous enemies for some reason, but not all). On the Finale, I’ll give a guarantee to everyone who has immersed themselves in the anime would have a very satisfying experience in terms of plot (also you guys should pay attention to any foreshadowing hehehe). In terms of Art, it is very stunning but not really the strong point of this anime. I usually watch stuff in 1440p (a limitation of this one is that you can only watch it a 1080 max…) where the bigger screen and more intense colors makes you notice some poorly drawn details. My standard of a good art is where I can pause at any frames and screenshot that frame into a decent wallpaper, this is not true for this anime sadly. But on the good side, the balance of CGI and drawings is excellent, I’ve also noticed that there are some variations in the art style especially during the action scenes. It is kinda hard to rate art alone since the sound and art for me works in hand in hand but overall, I think the animators just have to revisit some frames and maybe release a UHD version of this series (I can dream right?). Similar point in Art, I wished the audio design is more complex to utilize surround systems, the sound is limited to stereo which might be due to the format I watched it in, hopefully the studio can re-visit (this is just me nitpicking). On the good side, the sound effects really good, I really enjoyed the sounds produced in this series since it has a lot bass in it but there’s really little improvements from season 1 (it’s top notched on its own). In term’s of voice acting, I can’t hear any repeat VAs, either the VAs for this anime is so diverse or they are just top-notch (from what I hear they are since I can just feel the emotions thru their voice, as expected of Japanese VAs). For Music, it is quite well-composed and there are pieces that are very memorable, I am so glad that the studio invested in a song for the *certain amazing bad ass event*, it made the emotions very real. For Enjoyment, this anime is very addicting. It is like playing a bioware game really, the anime is explorable and there are so many things that you can experience when watching this, there are always new things the you’ll find and enjoy. plus this anime is so interactive that it is almost like you are playing an RPG game where the main point is to explore the world. This anime is built for enjoyment, I don’t think you can see this as some kind of snobbish work of art really where they force you on some concept, the formula here is really just a matter of taking things already existing in the anime pool and just putting it together in one amazing piece (well done Fuze and Prod team!). Overall, this season just made me have really high expectations of the next season. I hope the studio or production team would not disappoint. 10/10

(Spoilers) Tensura season 2 was as great as last season and I was not disappointed to see this season as I was happy to watch it for every episode Story 9/10- We continue to see how Rimuru Tempest who has been reincarnated as a slime has grown his city or town with different races of a monster which goes well for him and his place but since he recognized as a monster, humans aren't likely to care about them and already guess what might happen but the anime does a great job to build that tension since the first few episodes are happy and funny episodes which build that tension until it slowly goes wrong which really builds that unease in you and what happens after was amazing. Art 9/10- The art was really good as each scene, characters, and things were drawn really good and it like the previous season's art which was the same. Sound 8/10- Voices, Ost, opening, and ending were ok and I would say how sound effects for attacks or powers were satisfying to hear for some reason as it goes with how the art for the attacks look with it looking good. Character 8/10- Not that many characters were introduced that were important except for the character in the last episode but for villains which were the humans was a good idea as most anime would portray monsters as the enemies but here we see how some humans don't show that much care in monsters and that there the enemy. I really like Rimuru as he really is a good character which well thought out, he cares for everyone and wants to protect them in any way possible and wants to continue growing his town for the different races to be with each other. Enjoyment 9/10- As I said about the story on how it builds that tension which really entices me to watch more episodes. Fight scenes were enjoyable to watch as they were amazing to see, there were many funny moments in it that made me laugh or smile. Overall 9/10- This season and anime as a whole is an amazing anime and I wish it counties on being really good in the upcoming episode

I had very high hopes for season 2 and it delivered. Expect a little bit of spoilers since it's hard for me to write a review otherwise. The story: 9/10 The season 2 starts off right where season 1 finished. I was very glad about this due to the fact that at times other animes can really mess up sequels. Thankfully they didn't. Season 2 was absolutely amazing and it was so hype seeing Rimuru become the demon lord. And the way he became it was just absolutely amazing. The art: 10/10 This anime just looks absolutely amazing. The animation is smooth and the visuals are really well done. I don't think there was a moment where I genuinely thought it looked bad. The sound: 9/10 The voice acting, the musing, the sound effects, everything was just absolutely amazing. A lot of the times bad sound design can really make or break a show/anime/movie and etc. so I'm really happy to say it was well done. The characters: 10/10 Honestly the characters are were the shows truly shines the most. Rimuru is just so funny and badass when he needs to be. And hell, the side characters aren't even left out. We got action from literally everyone to some extent. If we talk about just fights in this season then hands down the best one goes to the old man Hakurou. Seeing him get his revenge was so satisfying and you could even feel terrified. So yeah, the characters are funny, badass and just well written. Enjoyment: 9/10 A huge part of why I loved season 1 was the humor, and glad to see it carried over so well. Almost every episode had just amazing comedic moments and episode 3 itself almost made me lose it. And not just humor, but the action, suspense and everything else makes me want to watch it again and I really do hope this gets a continuation. Overall: 9/10 Almost everything in this anime is perfect, so I truly believe it deserves a high overall rating. If I had to truly nitpick then I will say the stakes at times could have been higher and more gut wrenching. For example after one of the main cast died, either it should have been harder to bring them back or completely helpless. But besides that, everything else as previously mentioned was amazing.

Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken 2nd Season (2021) The makings of a 10 but ruined by a single episode. Be ready you will love this season but episode 9 is one of the oddest and boring episodes I have ever seen in this sort of show. It starts off strong then becomes soppy and ruined. That said be ready for episode 3 I cried with laughter and I am 100% going back to watch that one again after this. The art is superb once again and has improved slightly since last time. I think it is a great watch. The OP and ED are both pretty average but once again we have the absolutely spectacular sounds of conflict and magic here that more than make up for any issues with sound. The characters develop hard and fast and it keeps you entertained. We get some new and rid of the old in places by moving the story past them. You learn of others similar to the protagonist and meet the truth of the cruelty of the world. Rimuru seems to be in a paradise but really most of the world is against him and his kind it seems. They protect Shuna which is extremely important though. The show is fun from start to finish if you excuse episode 9. It does foreshadow what is to come but just so awful. I look forward to the second part of the season when it comes. Also, despite Shuna being amazing, Milim is best girl still. You really learn about Milim's past. 9/10. Some great new characters and girls in this one. Suphia was a close contender this time too.

This show is like watching a hug. It's almost unbearably wholesome and makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside. And yet it manages to weave in all the standard fantasy elements including a degree of gore, as well as the usual feminine fanservice. The show picks up where it left off in S1 and continues at the same pace. A thoroughly enjoyable watch. The art and sound is solid, the story fun, characters are numerous and varied with lots of comedic relief. To me this show represents the perfect balance between taking itself seriously and providing viewers with action, comedy, sexuality and above all, a positive outcome for our heroes and loved characters.

I feel that the storyline in this anime is so fast, actually there is more fun dialogue on the manga that i want to hear in the anime, but they skip it. Detail on the manga is more then on the anime like expression, scene fight, etc. and it makes me a little disappointed. But i cant wait for the next sesaon tenshura, and hope they didn't change many parts of the manga. im sorry for my bad english, and i cant write to much so i'm going to make this postable by giving a lot of useless words lol ........................................................................................................................

I really liked the previous season. It was decent, especially compared to waves of isekai crap that were so popular at that time. But this? It's horrendous. Otherworlders are useless shits with a character of a 3rd rate grunt A. Power levels lost their sense. Music sounded like something remixed from free samples. It kind of sounds like old school 8bit music if you increase speed enough, but normally it's unbearable. The worst thing is that the whole story seems to be written by edgy 13 y.o. Not going to spoil it, but everything seems to be forced to explain the MC decision which was basically: "Oh hey, the literal wiki of the world doesn't know that, but some random, deus ex machina gal heard that there is that thing you can do to reverse everything bad that has just happened." I'm not going to ask if the author thought that readers are retarded, it's too obvious. Well, at least the art was decent enough to not hurt your eyes. Don't expect much from it, at least from the later episodes. My only hope is that next season won't be THIS bad.

This first part of the season2 is kinda bad The thing is they are kinda rushing it, If you are reading the manga there is still a lot of explanation or conversation the they skipped out. For example the last episode they skipped a lot of pages u know some of them are just some conversation but at the last part i dont want to spoil it let us just say that they skipped a lot of explanations that anime watchers might want to know or somethin i dont really disliked it thats why i put 7 on the overall which is good but i know or the manga readers that they could be better than that I know its just a adaptation but most of the manga readers including me wanted to see the figures or drawing in manga moving or something like that, but just like i said they skipped a lot of it even if it is jus conversations i would like to see it at least some of it being animated I think thats it cuz i mean all i see is skipped version of the manga and i think skipping most of the conversation is not a good thing but not a bad thing either it just the anime watcher might get lost on what is happening because of lack of information

"THAT TIME I GOT REINCARNATED AS A SLIME 2ND SEASON" Genre- Action, Adventure, Fantasy, Magic, Isekai, Demon. Everyone has a vision for the future. Be it an average living individual, a hero, a democrat, a demon lord, or a being as simple as slime, everyone has a vision that they wish to uphold or achieve in the coming future. And it is with that vision of theirs that they wish to bring comfort, joy, prosperity, and harmony into the place and those that surround them. Starting right where it left off, the second season dives deeper into the story of Rimuru's nation of monsters. With more oncoming foes that view them as a threat to sly demon lords that pull strings behind the scenes, this season takes the top spot in regard to action and full-on battles. Like its prologue, this season also dives deep into the lives of other characters in the setting, and with a clear goal of 'acceptance of monsters to co-exist with humans', this season further pushes the story forward, making it all the more amazing and profound. The animation this time around also remains the same as the prologue and, with an even better development of MC's character, I can say that this season steals your heart with its story. It ends in a cliffhanger, but that's just another way to say, "there is more coming, so wait for it!" This anime is absolutely a "MUST WATCH."

I typically am very picky about the types of fighting shows/"shonen's" I watch, and there are a lot that just aren't my cup of tea for various reasons. More often than not, they usually just feel too long and lack story (or romance, drama, etc.). Slime, however, is a unique series of the genre that surprises the viewer in a variety of ways and sets the bar for what the new age of Shonen should be. If that was confusing, just think about the genre it sits and conceptualize the elements you think it should have. Now, with that in mind, think about the ways it could broaden it's elements to fit easily into other genre's and suddenly you're watching Slime. It has such a wide variety of elements that I don' even dare listing them all, but trust when I say, it's got something for everyone. Where I envisioned another lame isekai, I got an intriguing backstory in a unique setting. Where I envisioned fighting elements... comedy and romance came to the forefront. Slime had me hooked from the first episode. It wasn't necessarily any one thing, but it's hard to be bored when every scene is a blast to take part in. It's a show that surpasses many others, just in it's execution. Some series will rely solely on their story or characters for good will from the viewer, but can fall short elsewhere like art style. Slime veers from the norm to bring a fully fleshed out series of loveable character, superb sound, fun settings, interesting plot, and deep lore. The story of a Slime becoming an all powerful demon lord that ends up leading a nation, is not a synopsis most would expect. However, to me, Slime is one of the most unique original series I've ever seen. Personally, growing up in the US, I'm unfamiliar with what a slime even is, and had it not been for anime, I still wouldn't know. Basically, I didn't have any particular expectations other than...another Isekai. Luckily each episode was new and fresh feeling, with every new character as interesting as the last. The friendships and locations are what make Slime the series that it is, and I haven't come across many that didn't appreciate the variety it has to offer. I decided to review season 2 for a few reasons. While season 1 was great, season 2 outclasses it by just a little, in both substance and design. I know I said the fighting elements weren't the only good parts to the series, but they do play a heavy role. The visuals from certain characters skills were so epic that I'd be daring enough to compare it shows like Fate (although in my eyes, Fate still wins). Slime takes those fights to a new level and adds unique abilities as well. The skills aren't necessarily a new or original concept, but I love the way they're presented. In one moment, a skill known as " Megiddo" is used, and because of all the elements, you feel the weight of it's power. I've rewatched the last few episodes of part 1 and shown it to my friends on many occasions...the fight scenes are just that worth it. Fighting isn't the whole show however. One of my particularly favorite elements is the sound design. I can't boast about this show's sound effects anymore than I already have. Doors opening, footsteps, slime sounds, getting stabbed...all sound great and come through crystal clear (so much so, it feels genuinely real). But it's not just sounding real that enthralls the viewers. Sound effects can even feel unique, as certain abilities emit sounds the audience have most likely never heard before. In one scene, the orc lord uses a "stepping" skill, where he slams his foot down as an AOE attack. During this attack, the visuals of purple waves come pouring out with a low bass techno tone right behind. Whoever's idea to include dub step as fight sounds, was a genius to say the least. This isn't unique to just the Orc's skills though, because without the similar sound effects peppered throughout the entire series, I wouldn't have felt nearly as impacted by the fight scenes as a whole. Weighted bass tones, or other unique sfx, carry you into the fight, while other elements help keep your attention, such as the visuals. It's difficult to fully comprehend what makes sound so impactful for a show, but if you've experienced it, then you should know what I mean. I don't like just referencing the fight scenes when doing a review, but one in particular is still my favorite of any series. I won't spoil it, but there is a sword fight that occurs where time altering skills are used, leading to a wild battle sequence. The color scheme, sound effects, and dialogue all make it worthwhile. If you just skipped to this scene, I'd dare to say it alone could make you want to watch the rest. It, in total, lasts about 3-5 minutes, but surprised me every step of the way. There are also plenty of other sequences I haven't mentioned that carry a similar vibe. So much so, I'd rather you experience them for yourself. The characters and their motivations are so clear, and I couldn't help but empathize fully with the "good guys", considering the opponents are as vile as vile can get this season. Because of the events of this series, it's clear there are consequences to be had, making each sequence that much more tense. On top of this, there is such a large variety of abilities that not one character seems unoriginal. It's not all death and destruction though. Plenty of other characters are there solely for drama or comedic purposes and they fulfill there roles flawlessly. The emotional moments hit deep and the somber moments still bring you along. I rarely found myself drifting. I'll close out by saying it's not easy conveying what makes Slime a show worth watching. I can tell you the story was exciting and the characters unique, as well as emphasize the quality of sound and visuals. However, you should witness these qualities for yourself, I can't do it true justice. Yes, reviews where the story is the main catalyst are easier for me to write, but shows where each role is done so well should also be made known. I will say other shows have done specific things better and Slime is most certainly not a perfect anime, but it's certainly worth the time to watch...no matter your preference in genres.

This seems to be an unpopular opinion, but... this season is A LOT better than the first. The first season was enjoyable, but not anything too out of the ordinary in terms of generic isekai. Whilst this season's concept may also seem overused, it is executed to a point where I found myself completely forgetting about my surroundings. They seemed to up the budget on this one because the animators really seemed to enjoy themselves bringing these attacks to life. It was the perfect amount to not be over the top, but still leave you with you slackjawed as to how cool it looked. Now, this is just ridiculous. The first season had sound effects that fit, but that was about all there was to it. Here, however, at least with wearing headphones, it felt like I was actually in that scene. The subtle background noise (birds chirping, wind blowing) actually made me pause the anime a few times to check that it was actually coming from my computer, rather than outside. The op and ed were standard anime themes and did not particularly stand out, though. Rimuru Tempest (Satoru Mikami) - Died and reincarnated as a slime in another world filled with monsters.

Should you watch it? If you watch season one and liked it then yeah though this season isn't about world building anymore. It's story time.But without spoiling too much. Story: This first part I really liked. It deals with Rimuru's growth as a character mainly. He realizes as a leader of the nation he can't just talk-no-jutsu have a wholesome conversation, his way into making everyone happy. He realizes there are just some crazy people in the world out for blood, and that could cost him the lives of his loved ones. So he has to make a hard decision on whether or not to kill humans, like he once was. There were even some tough situations for the side characters to face themselves. Art: Great. Animation is alright. Sound: It's alright. Characters: Rimuru's development was great. And of course who doesn't like alot of the side characters. They're great in their own right Overall: I enjoyed the first Part! Should definitely watch it you liked season 1

As much as I loved the first season, I think I love this even more. It felt so good to finally see the characters I got to know last season doing new stuff. I must say I agree with MALs scores on the seasons. The second one is better. I haven't wathced any other isekais, but I do know a lot about some others, and the story on this one just feels way more unique. I talked about this in my review of the first season. Perhaps you should maybe still take my opinions with a grain of salt, since I still haven't seen any other isekais. But the story is still a 9/10. Art looks stunning. 8/10. It was just as good if not better than last season, and it's great. Sound is great as well. Solid 9/10 here. Voice actors are on point, music is still fire, and the sound design is amazing. Characters are still amazing, and Rimuru is still one of my all time favourites, if not my favouite. The rest are great too. 9/10. This anime was at the very least an amazing experience. If you liked last season, you're gonna love this one. And boy oh boy, there is so much stuff happening this season. It never failed to entertain me and it's definitely the best second season I've waited for, and I couldn't ask for it to be better. If you've seen lots of isekais it might be a little tiring to watch another one, but I still recommend you do. You will most likely not be disappointed. Have fun watching!

First, I'm a fan of the slime series and I collected every manga special covered as possible. I didn't read the novel though. I think the pacing is too fast. Well, it's only 12 episodes If it's 20+ like ss1 It can go deeper than this. some of the scenes that are too fast make me feel not immersed in it and immersion to the anime is the thing that makes me felt addicted to it. I like the slime soundtrack it makes me more emotional to the scenes. Some characters in this season's background are too soft for me to understand why anyone does something like that. Overall. great season 2 despite me having high expectations for this series to get deeper than now. Waiting for ss3 P.S. I like building town the most XD

How the mighty have fallen. I remember how hyped everyone was after the absolutely amazing first season, but after it came out, I havent heard a single person mention it. Well there is a good reason for that. This review will have some spoilers. Episodes 1 - 5: The second season is shorter then the first one was and tries to tackle a pretty big chunk of the story. With that in mind, I seriously dont get why are these episodes here. Literally nothing happenes in these episodes so they feel really pointles. You could probably cut them out and it wouldnt really hurt the story in any way. The only thing that is sort of set up here is the romance between Mjuraan and Youm and let me tell you, this is one of the worst romance subplots I have ever seen. Episodes 6 - 9 The plot finally kicks in and its absolutely retarded. Rimuru gets attacked by some random chick, they fight for a bit and then she fucks of. Tempest gets attacked and several characters are killed. And to top it all of Mjurran betrays them and Youm defends her because his entire character is he loves Mjurran. There are several problems I want to talk a bit in depth here. 1. The random attack Not much to say here. The whole scene was so random I dont really get why is it in the anime. They fight for a while and then she tries to use the nuclear option and fucks off. My guess is that she will be an important character in the future, but this encouter sucked balls. 2. Mjullan As it turns out she was a secret agent of the demon lord Clayman and casts a massive barrier around Tempest. So how does Rimuru deal with her? He forgives her and the anime tries to show you that she is actually a really good person. You can turn an antagonist into a part of the main cast, both dr Stone and Re zero did exactly that and those are shows that came out in the same season as this. Sadly Mjullan is an example of how not to do this. I wouldnt really mind it if the show tried to stay lighthearted and simply didnt want to go into executing someone. This isnt the case since after this, Rimuru shows absolutely no mercy to the army and slaughters them all to the last men. Youm also betrayed Rimuru and again nothing happens to him for it. This whole subplot was just so stupid. 3. Tempest gets attacked and characters die This part was ok at first and actually set up some scenes in the later episodes. The problem is that everyone gets revived so it made the whole thing kinda pointless. Not only that, but any death in this show will from now on have absolutely no impact since we know that Rimuru can just revive everyone. Again what a stupid thing to do. Episodes 10 - 12 These 3 episodes absolutelly rescue this season. Before them I wanted to give slime something like 4/10 and be done with it, but these episodes clearly shoved us a much better anime then what we actually got. Its really sad that the enitre season couldnt be like them. So this is it. This season was a massive flop that got saved by the last few episodes. I hope that the creators learned their lesson and that the next season will be much better then this. If there is no 3rd season or it isnt good, I wouldnt reccomend watching this even if you liked the first one because you will probably be really disapointed.

I liked the anime don't get me wrong. But because of the character's actions, I was disgusted half of the time. I like to binge animes, and couldn't concentrate half of the time because some of the gestures were so repulsive, that I felt disgusted even 2 episodes after. I don't know why, it usually doesn't bother me, but these gestures repeatedly appear in almost every episode, rendering them unenjoyable for me. For example lip licking. One of the most disgusting act in an anime. It is ok once, but not 10 times. It all started with that Kirara girl. She was very revolting, along with her gang. I understand that they tried to make them as unlikable as possible, but there is a limit. The contrast is too big compared to the rest of the show. It is just my personal opinion, but because of these things I think I will only remember this part of the anime as disgusting, and I won't watch it again. Nothing was wrong with season 1, let's hope for the best in the next installment.

tl;dr different, "darker", but no better than season one. Spoilers. I'll give credit to season two for avoiding the haremy feel of the latter half of season one. I'll also give credit for the fact that it tried, that it tried to be deeper, more realistic than the first season. Yet in the end, "Tensei Shitara Slime" is still a shounen show. The viewer knows that the MC will avoid defeat in every fight, and that the main side characters are nearly immortal. At least the fights are interesting and the interactions funny enough. This season is confusing For a moment I thought the good guys that died would stay dead, that OP slime MC would finally be faced with an issue he couldn't overcome. Of course I was wrong. Yet while the viewer is asked to care about the lives of the main characters in an almost poignant mourning scene, not 10 minutes later we're expected to accept the deaths of twenty thousand humans (granted they were shown to be not good people, but still twenty thousand!) as a matter of fact and a equal sacrifice to bring back the MC's friends. To quote from the anime, "this kind of idealistic world can only be created by [the MC]." So I guess the issue is that we have a heavy, bloody half coexisting with a light slice-of-life and it just feels... wrong. Don't misunderstand, it was entertaining for the most part. But it wasn't quality.
