Next episode Ogre Waifus! Also Rimiru as you’ve probably guessed will be a badass by the end of the Season, but for me there are two moments in Season 2 where he really gets to flex his badasssery.

Rimuru starts pretty strong and grows 22:57 Gelmud was the one who named the goblin before Rimuru got there. 25:49 Oh, there's more cards to be dealt you haven't seen the whole deck yet it's only episode 9 approaching.

Whether or not Rimuru is challenged is actually a complicated question. ..... Why there aren't subtitles on the OP and ED after years is a good question. Makes me realize that years ago they used to do it somewhere, maybe not in the beginning when an episode first came out, but later on. I didn't notice when I stopped seeing it. It had to be on some channel or platform that I watched routinely. Either they stopped doing it, or I stopped watching that channel for whatever reason. They would alternate the romanization and the translation every other episode. ..... I appreciate your editing efforts, even though I'm watching this on Patreon. Some people have no sense of storytelling or drama or something because they even remove the good parts. And I think some people fail as a channel because they don't even speculate or ask questions, so what is there for the viewers to engage with? But don't worry, you're not them. ..... Shizu never fully merged with Ifrit, but the period in her life when she came closest was before she fought the Hero. After she had that sad incident with Pirino, she shut off her emotions and they only came back when the Hero accepted her. But Ifrit was keeping her from showing her age still. People kept leaving her all her life. .... The Unlimited Imprisonment encases the target in a complex number of dimensions. Great Sage has something called a computational space that, although large, isn't unlimited, and it's important to recognize that the Hero is quite a bit more powerful than almost everyone in the world, and her Skills reflect that. In comparison, Rimuru is a newbie. (You'll see the joke in that line later.) .... You've seen some cards but this series is a whole double deck. Also, there are arcs, but they aren't afraid of letting things simmer a long time. Just know that little is insignificant and there are very few throwaway characters, events, and lines. ..... There are a number of Skills Rimuru gets from Ifrit and from Shizu.

Rewatching this reaction and I thought I'd mention something no one ever seems to: Ranga was outside the entire time. He is a Tempest Direwolf. He definitely heard the entire exchange between Shizue and Rimuru. So he was totally faking the 'I'd know my master no matter what body' line he gave to the adventurers. 😂 Hey, fake it till you make sweet puppers. 🩷💛🩵

I have a pretty big gripe with the pacing of season 1 tbh. they really did not explain lots of things very well and totally cut out major events like Rimuru's trip to Blumund and then came back and showed events in S2 that occurred before the end of S1. it is kind of odd and seems like they weren't sure if they would even get a S2 approved despite the massive popularity of the LN and manga. With how detailed the series is and how important previous events are to the future, this just isn't a show where you can cut lots off events and explanations. I am very glad they slowed it down a ton for S2 and 3 and hope it continues for the rest of the series

myst0dreamer

Yes, that's the standard story about why all those earlier events got shoved into Season 2. But somehow Season 1 covered 3 volumes just as the other seasons did. If they are strict about that, it means that variations in length or complexity of the volumes is going to affect pacing. I'm no writer, but I think my own difficulties with trying to summarize the story shows how difficult it is to put the most important info into the anime. My biggest peeve for Season 1 (which continued into future seasons), is that they don't adequately show what people are thinking during the big fights, and don't explain the Skill system very well.

Daniel Meissner

yes for sure. they do some explaining during fights but definitely not enough. I rewatched Hunter x Hunter recently and realized that how much they had the narrator speaking during the invasion of the Chimera ant castle would work SO WELL for Slime as well. it slows the fights down sure, but they do it so well because there is so much to explain just like in Slime, it would actually be perfect. I mean the narrator was there explaining all the abilities being used and all events from multiple different viewpoints and what many different characters were thinking. it was sooooo good and made the impact of the abilities being used so much greater. which is what the fight scenes in this anime need tbh especially some of the ones coming up

myst0dreamer

I am suddenly wanting to watch Hunter x Hunter.

Daniel Meissner

omg have you not seen it??? it's incredible. it's like 150 episodes tho so its a pretty big commitment haha

myst0dreamer

If it's shounen, famous, and long-running, it's likely I haven't seen it. If it's something most people would say they saw in their childhood--I probably haven't seen it.

Daniel Meissner

ahhh i see, well HxH is definitely worth it in my opinion! if you've got the time for it def check it out. It starts off as a pretty typical shonen tbh but it get REALLY good and I like the power system almost as much as I like Slime's

To address there closeness to Shizu in such a short time the answer is that was added to the anime. Those 3 didn't care in the least in the book. In fact in the book Shizu has a closer relationship with the Guild Master because she was friends with his dad and knew him as a child. Those 3 don't even know Rimuru has a human form till much later in the book. Personally most of the changes from the book to anime/manga are good because everyone always felt so cold in the books. It is worth noting the fortune teller elf is not from the books and was added to the anime/manga.
