As much of a power fantasy as it’s prequel. But with a little less charm.
I didn’t get the same hype I got from the first season. Maybe it’s because I’ve been watching anime for so long that the usual isekai tropes don’t hit like they used to. I have to admit, I’m a little disappointed.
I’m not denying that the show didn’t give me what I wanted. A power fantasy to turn my brain off. But even with that level of suspension of disbelief, this was a little difficult to sit through, with so many plot points just happening for the sake of moving the story forward, or all the things the story pulls out of its ass to keep the flow going. It’s hard to take this show seriously at all.
You see, the first season although it was as bonkers as this one, made it seem like satire. As if it was making fun of the whole power fantasy isekai genre. Then you’ve got this season with it’s oh so serious story, which had it’s plus point as small as they may be mind you, telling me to literally take it seriously and be invested.
Fuck nah, I say. You can’t do a 360 like that. Especially after telling me that Gods are unkillable to then go ahead and kill them with the batshit crazy God Killing Sword Ultra Pro Max. This is too many layers of suspension that come crumbling down harder than the God’s retirement plan the moment they realize they didn’t read the fine print about the immortality deal. This is unacceptable.
