@MarchinBunny A decent argument? Honey my argument is a fucking show made in MMD that's literally just people talking in a room for 3 seasons and the most interesting thing is the OP. It's been my argument every time some scrub has to create a thread complaining about Tensura's world-building and talk-no-jutsu every time a season airs like they actually know what boring is. Saw the same thing with Log Horizon.

Look, I get it. Some folks like me are just built different. Maybe we just have a higher tolerance for lengthy discussion? Maybe we're masochistic? Hell I sit through the entirety of Endless 8 every time I re-watch Haruhi. It's not for everyone. We can't all be superstars and that's okay. But if someone has to make "Oh no, more talking: The Thread v4.20" then they can suck it up when the hecklers (that's me) come a-calling. And the beauty of it all is this is just the beginning. The entire second half of the season is probably going to be nothing but the festival arc and it's going to shed the casual viewers like a bad case of dandruff. This is going to be just another thread in a pile.

Tensura isn't one of my favorite shows and it's honestly not even one of the best IPs ever, but I appreciate the effort 8-bit is putting forth to give us as faithful an adaptation as possible. That is why it is fine as it is. It may not be perfect but it is really not that bad. I've seen enough that I can expertly attest to this.

But please, do not let me dissuade you or anyone else from complaining about something that is really a non-issue. It wasn't my intent to come bearing an argument anyway because I'm not trying to change anyone's mind. Praise the show, bitch about the show, drop the show. Whatever. You do you. I just called out the thread because I could. And if that bothers you there's 2 things you can do about it. Nothing and deal with it.

@NTAD
Not really sure how pointing out some other show is an argument. Unless what you are doing here is trying to use a relative privation fallacy? If that is what you are doing, then let me just say... pointing out something you think is worse doesn't magically lessen the problem in regards to S3 of Slime.

Now as for the festival arc, I actually think there will be less threads like this because even if there is a lot of talking it will be way more interesting because if the series does a good job, there is also a lot to show outside of a meeting room. Honestly, if the anime screws this up, then there is a massive problem.

And I don't give a crap what anime you have seen in the past. Using a fallacy isn't a good argument. Ya, worse things exist, that's not the point. And whether or not it's faithful is irrelevant, there are ways to do it better.

@MarchinBunny I'll own that but I won't apologize for it. For the record, despite what your interpretation of what I said may be, I actually enjoyed Tesagure. I'm not looking at it as a "from bad to worse" comparison. It's a "less talking to more talking" comparison. I still liked it for what it was. But in regards to Tensura, you're calling it a problem. I don't see it that way. Maybe It's a problem for others here and for you, but then there's those of us who don't see a problem and never have. That should make it more than obvious how entirely subjective this issue to begin with. In truth, it may not even bug you as much as it does some of the others who've voiced their complaints. I dunno. You tell me?

Regarding the arc, I would like to say I hope you're right. But I don't think so.


Calling the faithfulness of the adaptation irrelevant is a deflection though and saying there are better ways to do it (let alone without even suggesting how) is still your opinion. In my opinion, if the meeting with Mjöllmile took place entirely in a room with two chairs and a table or if it took place in a hot air balloon over a sea of magma and it's long enough to fill half an episode, then that's what I want to see. Why should it be changed when it doesn't need to be changed? If that's all it takes to chase people off then allow me to reiterate my first post. They have the attention span of a rock.
