for the first 12 episodes its all dialogue then another 12 episodes it could have all the epic fight scenes

I don't think it's really as boring to the average viewer as people are acting like it is, I think its boring for reactors because there isn't much big stuff to actually REACT to, and for reaction watchers, there isn't much exciting stuff that most people care about rewatching and getting reactions for. But the experience for the normal person just watching the show is different, because all of this information is pertinent and imo interesting if you care about the world building and politics of Slime, it's just not "reaction" interesting (not saying it still isn't a bit slow and could benefit from some switch ups to the presentation in the last few eps)

Tbf, although I am hyped for the upcoming events this season, you have to admit that these eps would be boring for anime watchers and reactors. Like they barely have anything to work on. The worst part is this could go on for a couple more eps, when they have to wait for it weekly. The upside is that I can almost guarantee that you all will be satisfied with the later half of this season. I mean, Ninja Kamui had us hyped for a few first eps then it started diving. I take this over it any day lol.

While I can see why some Slime fans are a little annoyed by the complaints about this season people need to also remember there's a difference between watching the anime on it's own and watching a reaction to it. Watching on my own I don't have any complaints about the way the story is being handled. For a reaction tho it's going to be boring for some people because while yes we're being fed important info that will come into play in the future there wasn't really anything for Roshi, Sheera, and Lupa to react to. I'm not here to watch the show I'm here to watch THEM watch the show.

Don't watch then dumbass, hop off mushokus dick, that also has 4 episodes of mind numbing exposition, shit is ass

BLANK

2024-05-05 15:21:12 +0000 UTC

regardless of how boring it is or not, let's not forget that we are watching a reaction to the anime, not the anime itself. we might be feeling a little extra bored because the reactors are simply not able to get anything out of it themselves in the first place. I see the people who say slime is going to deliver later and then it will be better and I believe that. what we are experiencing right now is the point where you told someone that a show is fire but you are watching the boring part together and it's just a big silence.

2024-05-04 10:16:28 +0000 UTC

The "slime isn't about action" excuse needs to stop. Neither is Monogatari, that show is 80% talking and it's not in the slightest a drag most of the time. It just needs to be done right and with some budget spent. Not just panning a powerpoint left and right while you get waterboarded with audio book style conversations. You can have an entire 2 hour long movie with just two people having a conversation, if it is done right and the conversation is interesting, what Slime gives us is not interesting, don't know how to put it, but the story is basic, it's high-school level politics and power fantasy tropes, which is fine for what the show is and if there would be something happening, but the way is adapted it's just utterly boring for majority of the audiences, the approval rating dropped massively from week 3 to week 4, and even more so now for week 5, majority of people who are watching this, all over the planet, are tired of this nonsense.

So your saying this information cant be conveyed in any ways but meetings? I really enjoy slime and i've read all the manga but its turning into a fucking meeting/eating the anime/manga. They could be training or doing just something midly entertaining while talking. Not just sitting the fuck down all the time. I really hope they speed up the tournament arc when they get there in the anime.

If you know the LN, then you know that much of this information comes back into play during this part of the story. It’s relevant for the part we are going to be at during this part of the season, at least. Also, Slime is much more rich on its lore and world building than other LNs I’ve read, so a lot of the exposition and world development, is indeed, part of the story itself.

Nah, plenty of shows who have a lot of dialogue that do it better, Tsukimichi which is airing right now is also in an action lull this season with a lot of talking, exposition, and while still not as great as the first season, the director actually doesn't suffocate you with pure dialog with next to no animation. And there's plenty of anime in general where there is a lot of talking, but done properly. Slime is just an exposition dump, with minimal animation during those episodes, and it's like listening to an audio book. Todays episode wasn't much better, we just changed the room for another conference. I'm barely holding interest in this show anymore.

U realize that slime season 3 is a 24 ep season and that they aren't splitting it into 2 cour right? So obviously it's gonna be a slow building season as oppose to a anime with 2 cour splitting into 12 ep each right?

Sayyongtou

2024-05-04 00:09:08 +0000 UTC

The thing is. You need this information for when the story presses forward and for the end results of when it has pressed forward. Otherwise you’re gonna be like “what? What was that? When did that happen? They didn’t talk about that?” Etc etc etc. Even little details like when they mention being Oni and the sign above Shion’s head being different from the rest. If you’re gonna bitch about the show just don’t watch it and stop crying like 5 year old 🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️

@Ougi you're right literally why respond to a comment he didn't even read what is man smoking literally the first part of the second sentence mentions Mushoku tensei being loved by the crew and these past 4 episodes getting fantastic reception yet says "100% people are just complaining because shit isn't blowing up every 2 seconds" like what you just said is complete nonsense which he would have knew if he read the damn comment

The Uprising

2024-05-03 21:33:51 +0000 UTC

Mushoku tensei is the exception bc you really feel immersed in this world so it doesnt really matter if theres no action and only talking. for me its the only anime that feels 5 mins every ep

2024-05-03 19:34:53 +0000 UTC

So did you not read the part where I mentioned how other light novels like Mushoku Tensei despite not having any action in the past 4 episodes is still entertaining for them to watch? They watch a bunch of dialogue focused shows and have no issue so what are you trying to argue exactly? If you like the anime that's great but don't cope out on the excuse that people who don't like the boring exposition are just high octane loving smoke demons.

Mad4Life

2024-05-03 19:19:21 +0000 UTC

I have to disagree on the analysis. I don't think it's boring, but I also realize why it's happening. It's due to the way light novels are structured. Typically , they do the world building and plot building in the first half of the book and "end strong" with the crisis. So Light novel fans are just trying to point that out. Personally, I watch plenty of shows that have absolutely no action scenes in them. 100% people are just complaining because shit isn't blowing up every 2 seconds. I get why - the first 2 seasons were full of it, so it's an expectation. But, thats where my realization comes in. They are obviously setting up for a confrontation between the S tier Hero , Rimuru and also building up to the angels, which have been alluded to since s2 (when Great Sage became Raphael ). You can't just toss random enemies into a story that nobody knows of - and expect the reader or watcher to care. You know....unless you're ....JJK #shotsfired

Ren Lichtfoot

2024-05-03 19:11:44 +0000 UTC

Also slimefans need to relax saying how anime isn't always about action. Roshi and them watch plenty of dialogue heavy shows with no complaints. Mushoku tensei these past 4 episodes has had no action except a super instant duel and nobody has an issue with it. The dialouge and scenes are genuinely interesting in Mushoku tensei even without action. The back to back exposition in slime is plain awful and boring. Just because it's based off a light novel doesn't excuse how boring it is to watch.

Alexis Sullivan

2024-05-03 17:44:43 +0000 UTC

Slimefans are truly demented individuals. How many episodes of exposition do you guys need before the plot can move along? There's doing exposition the right way and then there's this. I hear there's going to be 3‐4 more episodes of this. That's way too much. Slimefans just gotta admit the adaptation is piss poor. Mushoku Tensei is adapted from a light novel as well but actually cuts bullshit we really don't need to know like how Roshi addresses Rudy hiring people to clean the house.

Mad4Life

2024-05-03 17:39:04 +0000 UTC

the last 2 seasons had a lot of exposition and lore cut out, which kind of fucked up the world building a little, so i think now they want to focus more on it. Honestly i'd rather this then having it rushed, slime has much more intricate lore then most isekai

Amzee

2024-05-03 16:47:27 +0000 UTC

lol I know Vinland kinda just caught a random stray lol I’m not trying to start an argument over the. Entirety of that arc I’m mainly just comparing the first what 7 episodes of that to this and honestly yes and I actually really enjoyed episodes 1 and 3 learning more about hinata and seeing how the whole situation Diablo and Falmuth was cool af. Episodes 2 and 4 were kinda more lore dumping episodes but they weren’t bad.

Philbo

2024-05-03 14:49:36 +0000 UTC

I mean ye I was comparing it more for it being an equally detailed LN that's currently airing in the same season. I guess a more accurate LN adaption comparison for Slime would be Overlord or something like that. Also, I don't even know how to respond to the last part tbh. So, are you're enjoying these last 4 eps of Slime more than the entire Farm arc in Vinland?

Ethan

2024-05-03 14:41:19 +0000 UTC

But you are comparing adapting an arc centered around 1 person just going through life after getting left by his woman and an arc where they are trying to getting everything figured out after a war is finished and trying to get everything settled in place. Like SO MUCH shit happened in slime last season. It only makes sense they take the time to get everything situated at the start of this season. I’m not saying it’s super fucking enjoyable but I don’t mind it because it makes sense. And like I said it’s only been 4 episodes and the first episode with Diablo was cool af. The other episode about hinata was cool af too. So I just don’t understand the complaining right now The best comparison for mushoku tensei IMO is Vinland and that dog shit ass farm arc where we watched thorfinn farm for 8 episodes. I very muched enjoyed the slice of life mushoku then all of that.

Philbo

2024-05-03 14:08:03 +0000 UTC

Then don't watch it fucktard don't you have anything better to do then to cringe comment to everyone it will pick up even mby in a few eps no need to cry like a bitch about it lol. Like bro if you are gonna complain this much just watch something else lol.

𝒯ℴ𝓍𝒾𝒸𝓁𝒫𝓇ℴ𝓍𝒾ℯ

2024-05-03 14:00:04 +0000 UTC

Look at Mushoku Tensei recent arcs if you want to see how to adapt a LN world without drowning it in exposition. The last couple arcs have been way slower and have had little action, but are not insufferable. They either cut a bunch of unnecessary details or just showed them visually.

Ethan

2024-05-03 13:58:33 +0000 UTC

What's funny is they dropped Dungeon Messhi for being too slow in like the first 3 eps, yet it was miles faster than slime and they enjoyed slow building shows like Apothecary Diaries/Frieren/Vinland. And instead of Dungeon Messhi we got the stupid ass Honki People show that went nowhere after episode 1, Ninja Kamui which fell off a cliff, and 4 eps of Slime talking to a static background.

Ethan

2024-05-03 13:54:45 +0000 UTC

Yeah y'all got to give it time to grow it isn't always war, remember its about a dude building a city, now country for his and his friends enjoyment. The smoke is coming as far as I know the rest of the novel is basically 80% who want smoke. But its pointless without the setup.

OldManMag

2024-05-03 13:17:44 +0000 UTC

Roshi... let the season COOK like we have 20 more weeks if this would have been only 12 episode then I would agree with you that they need to "hurry up a bit" but I'm fine with all of this (personally).

Kevin Kovacs

2024-05-03 13:09:16 +0000 UTC

2024-05-03 12:05:15 +0000 UTC

Well i like world building and what was mentioned in S2 The meeting of monster of men was the foundation for so much in the future story. I am not saying that it can't be dragged out and tedious if you are not into detailed nation building and administration , but i love slime because it is so connected and well thought out in terms of nation building and being a leader. Also you say show don't tell what are you talking about they are showing! The things they are building and how the world reacts to them. They change location show the perspective of the nations around Tempest and how they see Tempest, but perhaps i just see things you don't. People are going to forget these things later when we see them in action

Oliver

2024-05-03 11:21:11 +0000 UTC

It should already be delivering, and I don't mean we should cut to the action, I mean these mind numbing exposition fests need to be engaging in some way. Exposition can be done super well, hell my favourite show is 99% dialogue, but THIS is done awfully, it may as well be an audio book with accompanying illustrations, not an anime. These episodes should still be visually interesting with good animation, but they're not. They should at least throw in some character-rich dialogue that's fun or witty, but they don't. The worldbuilding can be done sooooo many other ways, its even done super well in season 1. But they choose to make it boring and have it take place in a couple different meeting rooms like a change of location matters when they move from one boring meeting room to the next. It's just bad anime as of right now, it doesn't take advantage of its medium at all.

Ougi

2024-05-03 11:06:08 +0000 UTC

Action should be coming pretty soon

ZO

2024-05-03 10:58:48 +0000 UTC

You'll be saying this for the next 3 weeks lmao. Its gonna be like 7-8 episodes of nothing interesting on screen at all.

Ougi

2024-05-03 10:57:13 +0000 UTC

There's no mellow vibes bro, it's just mind numbing exposition, that's all it's been for 4 episodes, and probably the next 3. And its all just them sat in a location talking, nothing else of interest is happening. Its not even fun, engaging or character-rich dialogue, just straight exposition. We're not asking for action at all, we just want something other than a meeting to happen , especially when most of what they talk about is just shit we've already been told.

Ougi

2024-05-03 10:55:39 +0000 UTC

Bro why are you dick riding Slim so hard? This is useless information, pure waffling that can really be condensed to one episode, we really did not need to see all of this, same when slime had a war meeting and it last 4 fucking episodes, when the plan was very very straight forward, they dragged it out so they could have 12 episode season, stop trying to kick yourself.

Kryto Currencies

2024-05-03 10:49:54 +0000 UTC

Dude are u crazy? 4 episodes of mind numbing exposition, this is THE SINGLE WORST WAY to develop a world. As with any visual medium, show don't tell. If we wanted to read the novels instead of watching the anime, we would've. But now the anime so far has been a glorified light novel.

2024-05-03 10:48:36 +0000 UTC

Ougi

2024-05-03 10:45:01 +0000 UTC

@oliver dude I know you like the novels but you really can't defend this, it's just bad entertainment. 4 episodes of practically non stop exposition, ever heard of the most magic rule of filmmaking? Show don't tell. If there's cool worldbuilding stuff, show us. Don't explain every last detail for minutes on end, what's what the LNs are for. From a storytelling perspective, straight exposition like this is just boring. It really shows that the directors have no idea in hell how to adapt a light novel. I mean mushoku is an LN Adaptation but it never gets to this level of miserable.

Ougi

2024-05-03 10:42:47 +0000 UTC

Sorry but atp it's barely worldbuilding, and 4 epsidoes of nothing but exposition is an awful way to do it. It's just boring to sit through THAT much. It's not even that it needs action either, ot just needs to be more interesting. Current mushoku is a good example of this done well. There was like 5 seconds of action so far and the rest was talking, so why isn't roshi saying the same about mushoku? Cus it's done well. They've watched plenty of dialogue heavy shows, even the single most dialogue heavy show; Monogatari and havent had this complaint, why? Because its talking episodes done well, the characters are genuinely interesting, even though they're just talking the episodes are still visually insane, the dialogue itself is witty and engaging. In slime tho, they're just sitting in a room talking, there's no interesting visuals, there's no character-rich dialogue, just sheer mind numbing exposition.

Ougi

2024-05-03 10:38:37 +0000 UTC

You guys need to relax lmao. Slime isn't about the action, it's about the world-building. You gotta remember this.

Oliver

2024-05-03 09:35:15 +0000 UTC

Preferences exist, they just prefer mushoku tensei, and they're both isekai so you cant blame them for comparing the two. Not everyone can be bothered to watch a set up arc, imo i liked the first two season but i lost interest after, its been a while since slime was out last so they're probably just getting back into it.

Oliver

2024-05-03 09:10:43 +0000 UTC

Philbo there is a very big difference between a few seconds long flashbacks and spending several minutes discussing something we already know.

fili0938

2024-05-03 08:58:32 +0000 UTC

The meeting itself was 80% recap. All the discussion over the "mastermind" had already been done. before.

fili0938

2024-05-03 08:57:21 +0000 UTC

but like even i dont mind the recap especially for reaction purposes because alot of reactors dont remember some details that happened prior. for example, in the mushoku tensei episode they forgot that rudy gave aisha her headband at the end of last season until they touched on it again this past episode. i dont blame them because i know they watch a bunch of shit but thats the whole point of recapping on previous events

Philbo

2024-05-03 08:55:07 +0000 UTC

No it is not. There were a lot of new information about how monsters leak magicules. The new tech developed we even see the tempest guards have amazing new uniforms like this is where we see Tempest become a full fledge nation in ALL it's glory. What info was recap cause it wsa not 80%?

Oliver

2024-05-03 08:54:34 +0000 UTC

They also change location all the time so it should be a lot easier to follow. I get people are excited because slime has amazing action, but the world building is S-Tier.

Oliver

2024-05-03 08:50:24 +0000 UTC

The issue is that a lot of these meetings are like 80% recapping information we already have. Cut out the fluff and the show would have better pacing.

fili0938

2024-05-03 08:48:46 +0000 UTC

I'm sorry but the complaining about this season is kinda crazy to me because we are literally ONLY 4 episodes in coming off damn near an entire season of smoke??? this season LITERALLY just started. i personally dont mind having a setup arc right now (I'm anime Only) IMO i don't think you can compare this to mushoku because there stories are in completely different places. like Rudy is trying to build a relationship with is sisters who he hasn't seen in years and Rimuru is dealing with all the aftermath of the war with falmuth and walpurgis lol

SoggySoup

2024-05-03 06:57:16 +0000 UTC

this is the exact reason I've always been a Slime fan, but I do think they needed to switch up the execution of all this exposition a little bit, cuz like, it's very important, but they are telling it in a pretty boring way that doesn't work in anime the same way as it does in the novels. I personally don't think it matters because I know what's coming and all I can do is repeat what everyone else has said, and that's just to TRUST and let Slime cook

JadonTheEternal

2024-05-03 06:33:36 +0000 UTC

This much yapping is just bad writing no matter how you want to frame it. There are a lot of better ways of dropping lore besides people talking at each other for multiple episodes straight, particularly if they're rehashing stuff that's already known. It's not 'deep lore' to just yap on an uninspired topic forever while throwing in a few crumbs of worldbuilding.

Louis Kalman

2024-05-03 06:14:15 +0000 UTC

Tbh I'm ready for shit to go down as well, but I also appreciate that they are taking the time to establish all the things that is going on and what's going to happen next. Plus its 24 episodes anyway so they still early in the season, let them cook.

The fact that Rimuru had already come to the realization that The Grandmaster (Yuuki), who he had gotten pretty close with, was the one behind Hinata's attack.. but Rimuru never mentioned it again. Like that was the interesting part.. but they just told us stuff we already know, and left out the interesting part of Rimuru possibly realizing that Yuuki is not who he seems, having a darker agenda, etc.

Personally, assuming all the things being said about the pacing of the show, it should have some faith (varying on what you want). Since from what I remember, season 2 had a good/large amount of info being given over multiple episodes which then led to a lot of people f*ckin dying. Of course we revived ours after the first half and got revenge but hopefully people can at least think about what "could" happen. I know this will do nothing for the majority of impatient/action wanting viewers, I agree partially. Just wanted to vent a reminder that a lot of people were shocked (in a good show way?) When shit went down.

Might not seem like it now but SLIME HAS SO MYCH LORE 😭😂 I know they be stressing what to leave in & what to take out SO MUCH LORE 😭 But I think we’ll have 2 more weeks of info before it starts cooking they are setting up for future arcs along with this so it’s a lot of INFO TO TAKE IN I AGREE with y’all on that asf I believe they don’t know what to take out or keep in though

As much as I like world building/political intrigue (overlord reader here lol), these eps have been glacial so far. I think it's suffering because of the weekly release and heavy exposition. Because quite literally 85% of the episode was spent in the damn meeting room and was just talking with nothing really moved the plot forward. The content would've been fine to read as a couple chapters in a LN/manga or watching 2 eps back-to-back. But waiting weekly for what amounts to a couple mins of lore content I could've just read about kinda sucks.

from what ive heard next episode is only western holy church discussion we saw at the end. basically one location for 1 episode but trust the process

Watching the anime adaptation, I feel like I’m reading the light novel all over again. it’s like having the light novel in HD! But hey, maybe they could use a little animetion to spice up the lengthy expositions, right?

that is very much incorrect and youll see why in the next episode or 2 probably

As someone who’s read the light novel, I was cautious about approaching season 3 after what I considered a poor handling of part 2 of season 2. Something I think the anime has struggled with is just managing the exposition (there is truly so much of it) in a way that keeps watchers engaged. While Slime can be said to have some incredible world-building, engaging power dynamics and fun characters, since part 2 of the second season, it’s done a pretty poor job in properly showcasing that. I say that while being lenient in my judgment of the show because I know how wonderful it can be and generally just enjoy the characters on screen when we have them. That being said, even I understand that having us sit around in the same room for 4 episodes does not do much to ensure the watcher will want to stick around. To an anime only watcher, it’s hard to justify it and sadly, there are a lot of small seeds even in these four episodes that are being planted for so many great things but when you are checked out from the same, stifling atmosphere to notice it, it’s pointless. I say all of this but also have to acknowledge that this arc in the story is intended to introduce an awful lot and so how you balance that out properly is not something I could speak about. Just slamming it all in the early episodes is risky but knowing what I know, I’m not certain how you would storyboard this season without that either. The alternative is that you cut certain details, but one of the things about this series is that there aren’t many details that are pointless. Everything has a purpose … It’s just about how you convey that. I think that’s another reason why the season is just 24 episodes, no break. It is a gamble, but the payoff should be well worth it if they stick the landing. Sorry, this is far too long but I hope it's worth the read.

I don't know about yall but I'm loving this, the anime is a nation builder with some tension and action but primarily buildup and politics and im loving how they are sticking to their process, it will pick up but for now, enjoy the mellow vibes and relax

GigaDirt

2024-05-03 00:54:12 +0000 UTC

Lol apparently you gotta wait until ep 7 - 8 before something acutally starts happening. I like slime but this season is just a snooze fest ill watch to get some sleep

If you're waiting for action, it'll probably be around episode 7-8 before that starts.

You know when Hinata shows up with all these characters that we HAVENT seen, you think it's about to get interesting....and the episode just ends. We in that place back in Season 2 where we have to explain everything to all the central characters. Let's just hope people like Gazel, Ramiris, ect already got the deets off screen.

Tbh let's not act like since the start Rimuru's main meat wasn't nation builder simulator. It was just more "interesting" when there was an actual threat to his territory. As he gets more OP no one's going to want to mess with him. He's pretty much untouchable by conventional means at this point with all his allies and status.

Slime 3x4

Comments

Thats not true

for the first 12 episodes its all dialogue then another 12 episodes it could have all the epic fight scenes

thanks for the tsukimichi reminder, I forgot that show exists and just caught up. You're right it is doing "slow" much better than slime is. I love slime when it is at its best but it is losing me.

Yeah they were yapping this episode 😮‍💨

Thanks for the assist lol Even tho im enjoying Mushoku

Don't watch then dumbass, hop off mushokus dick, that also has 4 episodes of mind numbing exposition, shit is ass

It will make sense trust me

I’m just enjoying the moments of peace before the fuckery inevitably starts lol.

I'm gonna be dead ass serious I was locked in episode 1 with the information now I can't tell you wtf was talked about in this episode or, episodes 2 and 3

At this point i would recognize this anime from that meeting table only

The one time mad4life is spitting 😪

Eh…

Yeah shit is real slow

Doesn’t matter, it’s supposed to be entertaining. It is currently not

Lupa passed out the whole episode hahahah

patience my friend

yerrrr

where's fallout?

bro did yall not read the comment?

U realize that slime season 3 is a 24 ep season and that they aren't splitting it into 2 cour right? So obviously it's gonna be a slow building season as oppose to a anime with 2 cour splitting into 12 ep each right?

Happening for a reason, literally EVERY single detail is important for something that’s going to happen. Just watch it and pay attention fam you’re gonna love it 🙏🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯💯

To the Promise LAND!

bro did not read a thing...

Mushoku tensei is the exception bc you really feel immersed in this world so it doesnt really matter if theres no action and only talking. for me its the only anime that feels 5 mins every ep

@Ren ???

That guy deadass didn't read a shred of ur original comment lmao. Ur absolutely spitting tho

Deliver us

I know this is out of pocket but it would be cool if you guys watched Prince of Egypt haha

Would love if they watched that

I second that

the last 2 seasons had a lot of exposition and lore cut out, which kind of fucked up the world building a little, so i think now they want to focus more on it. Honestly i'd rather this then having it rushed, slime has much more intricate lore then most isekai

Then don't watch it fucktard don't you have anything better to do then to cringe comment to everyone it will pick up even mby in a few eps no need to cry like a bitch about it lol. Like bro if you are gonna complain this much just watch something else lol.

Look at Mushoku Tensei recent arcs if you want to see how to adapt a LN world without drowning it in exposition. The last couple arcs have been way slower and have had little action, but are not insufferable. They either cut a bunch of unnecessary details or just showed them visually.

Yeah y'all got to give it time to grow it isn't always war, remember its about a dude building a city, now country for his and his friends enjoyment. The smoke is coming as far as I know the rest of the novel is basically 80% who want smoke. But its pointless without the setup.

Roshi... let the season COOK like we have 20 more weeks if this would have been only 12 episode then I would agree with you that they need to "hurry up a bit" but I'm fine with all of this (personally).

Love this show, can’t wait for the rest of it to get adapted, pacing may seem slow but there was hella action last season also with hella meetings so let’s wait and see how it goes, the upcoming battle will be an interesting one

Can we please get koruko no basket, shits fire 🔥, and i swear im not the only one thats been asking for it for the last few years

Action should be coming pretty soon

You'll be saying this for the next 3 weeks lmao. Its gonna be like 7-8 episodes of nothing interesting on screen at all.

Dude are u crazy? 4 episodes of mind numbing exposition, this is THE SINGLE WORST WAY to develop a world. As with any visual medium, show don't tell. If we wanted to read the novels instead of watching the anime, we would've. But now the anime so far has been a glorified light novel.

@oliver stop with thr cope. Moving from boring ass room to boring ass room doesn't make a difference

100%. The people adapting this must not have any idea at all how to adapt a light novel.

It's already been 4, this is straight dogshit

You guys need to relax lmao. Slime isn't about the action, it's about the world-building. You gotta remember this.

Rimuru already theorized that in S2. And Hinata already told the audience that she got her information from a merchant from the east.

But than what is recap about this episode most were new info? We learn that Yuki is not the sole mastermind but there are more factions involved.

I have read the novels.

Wait until later in the season. Trust me unless you have read the LN you don't know

Philbo there is a very big difference between a few seconds long flashbacks and spending several minutes discussing something we already know.

The meeting itself was 80% recap. All the discussion over the "mastermind" had already been done. before.

No it is not. There were a lot of new information about how monsters leak magicules. The new tech developed we even see the tempest guards have amazing new uniforms like this is where we see Tempest become a full fledge nation in ALL it's glory. What info was recap cause it wsa not 80%?

They also change location all the time so it should be a lot easier to follow. I get people are excited because slime has amazing action, but the world building is S-Tier.

The issue is that a lot of these meetings are like 80% recapping information we already have. Cut out the fluff and the show would have better pacing.

Day 38 of my campaign for a MR ROBOT reaction

This is literally the start of the season. This isn’t JJK where they start with hand’s immediately.

I am struggling to understand how meetings could be any different in the novel lol.

Tbh I'm ready for shit to go down as well, but I also appreciate that they are taking the time to establish all the things that is going on and what's going to happen next. Plus its 24 episodes anyway so they still early in the season, let them cook.

yea its so good they really sleeping right now

He a better man then me oh the entire church don’t Believe in coexistence with monsters entire church got to go then end of story ain’t no if ands or buts me and that church would be going to war today 😂🤷🏽‍♂️
