The literal same exact thing can be said for these opinions on Maou Gakuin.
Like I said, I have not read Maou Gakuin, so I can't say anything about the comments regarding it, positive or negative, besides the biased comparisons with Slime.
I can forgive purely subjective takes like saying Skills in Slime have boring powers. Because that's just someone's personal opinion. But these other takes are questionable at best, and absolute garbage at worst.
I apologize in advance if this comes off as unnecessarily aggressive or offensive. It's not my intention. I'm just flabbergasted and I felt the need to correct what I perceive as misinformed comments about Tensura, in a typical random internet person fashion.
No offense, since my language may get a bit too intense starting from here:
Weapons in TenSura don't really get a spotlight and are not special. For example, Rimuru had a plain-looking mythical black katana (or something) that is made of some durable metal that doesn't do anything special (and Rimuru isn't really the best at swordfights either and barely gets by just because of Raphael/Ciel).
Cries in all the depth explanations given to weapon creation, weapon classes and weapon histories in Tensura.
Just because Maou Gakuin's weapons are apparently full of "destroys the infinite and eternal and even reason and logic and looks very badass" doesn't make it better than how Tensura treats its weapons, nor does it mean that Tensura weapons doesn't get any spotlight or that they aren't special. Saying that Tensura weapons doesn't look badass is also a subjective take at best.
This comment also has a flanderized description of Rimuru's sword, making it obvious that the commenter has limited information about equipment in Slime.
I also have no idea why Rimuru not being the best at sword fighting is somehow a bad thing about Slime. And it's not like he's even terrible at it or that he lacks skills for show. Nor is there a shortage of master swordsmen in Slime. I'm just gonna look at the bright side and take this as a preference thing, and the commenter just prefers an MC that is super perfect swordsman?
TenSura in side characters because the characters in Maou Gakuin get their own arcs and flashbacks while in TenSura they don't.

cries in minor characters like Calgurio and Vesta
cries at the main villains
Anyone who read this part of the comment and agreed with it,
has never read Tensura. Or they did, and they're arguing in bad faith. Case in point, I just named over 15 characters with their own arcs and flashbacks.
You really learn Maou Gakuin's characters' motivations and personalities while everyone in TenSura is like "my life sucked before Rimuru saved me and now life is good and I serve him for eternity".
Same reason as above. This is just a generalization fallacy.
I always enjoyed the mysteries in the arcs of Maou Gakuin (who is Avos Dillhevia?, what was my past?, who is the king of the gods?, etc). TenSura was always more predictable IMO (someone attacked me so I fight back to keep my peaceful life).
This comment seems to imply that there are no mysteries in Slime and that it's predictable, and attempts to oversimply Slime's story
again.
At this point I just wish this is argument rooted in ignorance, rather than actually reading Slime and having this take.
Not only are there more interesting powers, there is actually some strategy. TenSura is literally just Rimuru letting Great Sage/Raphael/Ciel doing everything for him and his attacks are literally just him eating his opponents with Gluttony/Beelzebub/Azathoth.
Same thing here.
This comment implies Tensura lacks strategy.
I just... can't. I think this is the part where I recommend that people
actually read Tensura before talking about it.
And while Anos is very OP the enemies he fights actually are quite strong too instead of Rimuru just flawlessly defeating everyone which makes his enemies look too lame and weak.
cries in Rimuru vs Orc Disaster
cries in Rimuru vs Charybdis
cries in Rimuru vs Milim
cries in Rimuru vs Hinata Sakaguchi
cries in the fight in Volume 10
cries in the fight in Volume 11
cries in Rimuru vs Veldora and Velgrynd
cries in all the other fights not involving Rimuru
cries in all the enemies Rimuru fought that are strong and not lame and not weak
All in all, these posts just appears to be like a Maou Gakuin fan tries to pretend to be a Tensura fan so that it won't be too obvious and their post would seem unbiased, while trying to argue how bad Tensura is and how Maou Gakuin is so much better. No offense, but this is simply how it looks like to me.
I normally wouldn't participate in these posts at all (Hell, it's been several weeks since the last I visited this site.), with how much toxic and biased energy posts like this generates. But I just felt like I had to comment on it.
A lot of the takes here are subjective, which is understandable and fine, but my issue lies with how much of these subjective opinions are rooted from
factually incorrect information and I just had to call it out.
