I’ve Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level [Season 2 Episode 1]

Review: I’ve Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level (Season 2, Episode 1) – A Cozy Return to Fluffiness

After a four-year hiatus, I’ve Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level is back with its second season, and fans couldn’t be happier. The first episode, titled Along Came a Goddess, wastes no time reintroducing us to Azusa Aizawa, the immortal witch who just wants to live a peaceful life—except, of course, when her adopted family of quirky characters drags her into their shenanigans.

A Warm Welcome Back

The episode opens with Azusa and her makeshift family—Falfa, Shalsha, Laika, and the rest—doing what they do best: living their best slow-life fantasy. This time, they’re making azuki red bean dumplings (because why not?), and the wholesomeness is off the charts. Fans on MyAnimeList and Reddit have been quick to point out that the show’s charm hasn’t faded one bit. One user summed it up perfectly: “It’s like slipping into a warm bath after a long day—just pure comfort.”

The reintroduction of the cast is seamless, and the dynamic between Azusa and her “daughters” (Falfa and Shalsha) remains as heartwarming as ever. The episode doesn’t try to reinvent the wheel; instead, it leans into what made the first season so beloved: a mix of lighthearted humor, cozy slice-of-life moments, and just enough fantasy elements to keep things interesting.

The Goddess Cometh (and Gets Demoted)

The highlight of the episode is the introduction (and immediate downfall) of the goddess who reincarnated Azusa into this world. Without spoiling too much, let’s just say her appearance is… less than divine. The goddess’s antics had fans in stitches, with one Redditor joking, “Working as a god is hard—you can even get demoted!”

The humor here is classic Slime 300: absurd yet oddly relatable. Whether it’s Azusa casually asking for a “chest upgrade” (and getting rejected) or the goddess’s virtue stamp card system (which rewards… nothing), the show knows how to balance its comedy with its laid-back vibe.

Visual Changes and Fan Reactions

One of the biggest talking points among fans is the shift in animation style. The first season was handled by Revoroot, but Season 2 is produced by a new studio, Teddy. While some fans noted that the art style feels brighter and slightly different, opinions are mixed.

• “The animation quality took a dip, but the charm is still there.”
• “I actually prefer the new style—it feels fresher!”
• “Where are my season one starry skies? Bring them back!”

Despite the visual tweaks, the consensus is clear: the heart of the show remains intact. The characters are just as lovable, the humor is still on point, and the overall vibe is as cozy as ever.

What’s Next?

The episode ends with a promise of more adventures—and possibly more additions to Azusa’s ever-growing family. Fans are already speculating about new characters and storylines, especially with the goddess now in the mix.

One thing’s for sure: if you loved the first season, you’ll love this one just as much. As one fan put it, “This is the anime equivalent of a warm hug.” And in a world full of high-stakes battles and dramatic plot twists, sometimes that’s exactly what we need.

Final Verdict

I’ve Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level Season 2 Episode 1 is a delightful return to form. It’s not trying to be groundbreaking—it’s just here to make you smile. And honestly? That’s more than enough.

Rating: 4.5/5 (Because even demoted goddesses deserve love.)

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’m off to rewatch the first season while waiting for Episode 2.
