  A boring, meaningless sequel to an already weak series.

  By the Grace of the Gods was a very lighthearted anime centered on Ryouma Takebayashi, a middle aged man reincarnated to another world in the body of a young boy. This anime used the fact that the main character is young to create a lighthearted show centered around helping people as well as an interesting taming aspect. The taming of slimes was what got me interested in the anime in the first place thanks to the particular evolutionary aspects and interesting uses for this fictional being.

  By the Grace of the Gods 2 tries to create a sequel to a show that finished in it's previous first season. Ryouma has found a business niche and is now fairly successful, the family that helped him is now gone including the second main character.
  Now, you would think that there would be a new main line that the story follows now that the original plot has ended. Unfortunately, that is not the case. Ryouma does odd things here and there with no specific goal in mind as he encounters no adversity whatsoever. This translates into a very boring, often frustrating watch where you, the viewer don't look forward to anything, are never caught by surprise.

  This isn't helped by the fact that the anime constantly reminds you of it's better first season through Eliaria Jamil. She appears very briefly in almost every episode reading the letters that Ryouma sends her and the odd episode 9 dedicated to her. I can see why the anime took this approach as the first season ends with her, the second main character leaving. That being said, having a character read out what you have experienced just before every episode gets really boring. That one episode felt really weird as well, suddenly, out of the blue, we get an episode dedicated to her that has no implication to the story. Eliaria's presence serves no purpose other than reminding the viewer that this second season was not planned and has been thrown together quickly thus not making any sense whatsoever.

  The first season didn't have any character development and the second season doesn't change that but this time their presence is annoying. Instead of trying to make developped characters that are unique this season decided to make standard ones with unnecessary quirks. This completely overwhelms the calm, kindhearted feel you get from the original characters removing that small amount of enjoyment from the original show. Add this to an unremarkable art and animation style and you have yourself a complete disappointment.

  This anime was never good, but it was unique. This second season has rendered an already lacking show into something that I simply can't recommend.
