By the Grace of the Gods Season 2 looked unlikely, but it’s finally here!
Isekai animes, with all their tropes, are indeed one of the most-watched genres in recent times. Strangely enough, we have seen the involvement of slimes in series like That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime, and I’ve Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years, and Maxed Out My Level featuring it as main plotlines.
So, it was only time when back in 2020, another slime isekai entry was made with the anime adaption of Roy s’ light novel series, By the Grace of the Gods.

Things switch up one day when he meets a group of wounded travellers, and being the good samaritan Ryoma, and he helps them, who turn out to be the Jamil noble family of monster tamers.

The once boring life Ryoma is filled with magic and Nobel girl, where the journey takes him beyond the realms of the forest is the central plot of the show.
