Then comes season 2. Mylan was a lazily written character. The plan to rile up the army against Tempest was lazy. The three evil otherworlders were lazily written. Then Tempest people die, but instantly: "I've heard of a way to ressurrect people!". Then, and this is where I snapped, Rimuru immediately agrees to killing 20000 people. Then after he does, no remorse at all. Then a super strong demon is summoned that apparently was introduced in some OVA and that killed the only remaining "strong" human enemy, the wizard that took over the, already, meaningless otherworlder. This is where I started calling this "full-Overlord", which some people her still refuse to understand why. And now Milim destroys entire landscapes and it's highly unlikely that she'll see any just punishment for what she did. None of that is "grounded" anymore like season 1. It's bs contrievance after bs contrievance and our "hero" has lost all of his empathy for those that aren't his close friends. I expected more season 1. What I got was every other cheap isekai anime.
I mostly skimmed through the episodes so can't speak of the specifics but never felt like it went "full-Overlord", since Overlord is closer to being edgy for the sake of being edgy while this still keeps a lot of the lightheartedness from the first season. For me the show is just some turn off your brain and go with it kind of show, if you feel differently then that's fine.
