ANIME REVIEW: THAT TIME I GOT REINCARNATED AS A SLIME PART 2


That Time I Got Reincarnated as A Slime Part 2
Released By: Manga Entertainment
Rating: 15
Running Time: 300 mins
Release Date: 24/2/2020
Reviewed By: Sandra Scholes

We saw how Rimuru started out as a Slime, then grew as he went on his adventures. As far as we're concerned Rimuru had been dealt an unlucky hand, but he soon got to evolve even after some pretty bad times in previous episodes.

You would think this is what would happen in this newest set of episodes, 12 in all, plus a bonus one for fans of the series. As a fantasy comedy, it is funny in its own way, yet this second part doesn't really go anywhere and Rimuru's character doesn't grow any more than he did in the last series.

Back then he faced some serious problems, perils with which characters he could trust and having to cope with being only partly evolved, even so, we would have liked to have seen him evolve some more and face more funny problems he could overcome if only to make the story more enjoyable rather than it only being a comedy with an original idea.

Luckily there are other characters who seem to prop up Rimuru and as there is rumoured to be another series after this one, we can only hope that we see more of what happened in the first part.



Bonus Material: English and Japanese Voices, Episode 24.5 Series Recap with Commentary.
