The sheer audacity of this entire trainwreck of bad writing is enough to put Tensura S2P2 alongside the very worst dregs of cheap cash-grabbing isekai properties. Tension looks like it’s going to come back… and then evaporates moments later, rinse and repeat for as long as the airtime needs to fill the time slot. This is paired with one of the dumbest plot reveals I’ve ever seen in my anime-watching career. Speaking of Rimuru… what in the actual nine circles of hell was that Clayman fight? Episode ten ends with getting our hopes up with the promise of finally(!!) delivering the epic Clayman fight we were promised, and then the writing comes in and smashes the tiny strand of tension the narrative had finally managed to build up in favor of an episode worth of braindead sitcom gags that have no place in the middle of any fight sequence, much less to the death. As viewers, that’s one thing, but when the characters themselves show this level of apathy, why are we watching them? It’s the story equivalent of beating the stuffing out of early-game enemies after beating the final boss of a video game… but for entire episodes. No threat Rimuru’s underlings face are enough to create even an in-universe sense of urgency. If I wasn’t already three cours into this show, it would be an easy drop for this absolute travesty of pacing alone.Īction finally starts with the seventh episode, but it amounts to little more than dick-measuring contests of power levels. Wouldn’t you know it, we’re six entire episodes in and there has been no demon lord showdown as promised, but a whole lot of talking heads. Then the third episode’s credits roll… and the fourth’s… Then the second episode’s credits roll, and wouldn’t you know it, Rimuru and his pals are still talking it out in Tempest.
it setting up the epic action teased to come. Okay, fair enough, it is the first episode, so it’s alright to spend Episode one rolls around, and the entirety is spent with the main, supporting, and minor characters talking it out. The stage is set for an epic war between demon lords. I am in shock and awe over what a disappointment it’s been.Īt the end of S2P1, it was clear that Rimuru would be spending the next arc taking down the antagonist, Clayman. This was my most anticipated summer anime of 2021. Tensura Season 2 Part 1 went out on a relatively high note, and the hype for the continuation was real.
