I mean just cause it’s an action don’t mean there needs to be a fight on the screen 24/7

It was never action 24/7. Since the first season. Maybe there was less board room meetings in previous seasons but it was still a talky anime. And the most recent episode had action so have you been watching?

Action isn’t the main focus of the series. It’s more like the Civilization games. Even the beginning of the series had limited action.

Are you stupid? Are you a battle shonēntard or what? If what you're looking for is action, go watch Demon Slayer or Jujutsu Kaisen. You must be a little kid since you don't even know what plot development and world building are. The action you are oh so looking forward to will eventually come, can't you be patient and watch things play out as the character fill you in on what's happening? The hell.

Yeah nonsense violence and action for no damn reason all time is ruin charcters, development to the story and story plot eventually get shit asf. You can take example of JJK , just showing off sukuna they doing nonsense violence and action all time killing good charcters, story is becomed shit the moment he chose action only. New fans just watching that anime, demanding action every time. All are not weirdos like Gege...

Agreed.
6 chapters of people talking while sitting around a table is definitely not action.

Also, the next 2 chapters will have action, but after that, everything will return to just talking.

While I do like the character development in Tensura, providing it by people sitting around a table and talking is not the best way to convey a story.
Not even for a novel.
Much less for an audiovisual medium like anime.

If they had devoted 2 chapters to portray Hinata's story, that would have been awesome.
Having het stand while Luminas talks? Garbage.

Seeing the king of Farmas' brother amassing an army, forcing the King to seek refuge and talk about the counterattack with the hero? Awesome.
Seeing Diablo provide an oral report? Garbage.

There was fighting in the 7th episode, hence the show has action.

And 6 of 24 episodes is 1/4 of the season not half.

Note: I don’t lazily watch 3-5 episodes, biasedly compare to other anime, or unfairly judge by surface level similarities. With every anime I start, I watch the entire series, both Japanese Sub & English Dub, then judge each anime based on what they present, to give an honest and fair rating.

@Puntosmx Good point. But if you show everything, the story comes to a screeching halt.

Compare that with Hinata's journey to Tempest and how they showed the impact Rimuru had on their neighbouring states. Which do you think is more important?

I mean, the author does bass a lot of the light novel on world building and bureaucracy, so the action elements is the side portion you’re getting along with the story. It was never ever really stated as a full action or true Shonen anime, just isekai.

guess you've never read the light novels huh? yes, this has action, but it's also steeped with a lot of political plays. didn't you get the memo already with the whole "monster who became a Demon Lord but wants to build good relations with humans" setup? how's rimuru gonna make his point unless he acts civil and attack unless provoked. Tensura has always been dialogue heavy and only uses fight sequences during each climax. if you want something with 'fight scenes' then go wath Dragon Ball or other similar shows.

Wow, even with 6 ½ episodes talking going on, you still really don’t understand at all what’s going on in anime.

If Rimeru & Hinata fight at all, it will be to stop the others from fighting and to only have them two settle the newly stated war, that nether one of them wanted to happen, and is the fault of those bastards in the white masks.

So they are both helping their people and both conscious of what’s going on.

Rewatch the anime if you don’t trust me, but your perspective is really not following what’s happening.

Actually the animators are really good on adaptation this season. They summarized whole important conversation (hundred of pages of novel) into few chapters.
This season shows how smart they can fight with their brain. This is how the leader of country/city/etc should do.
I think this season is the point where people know their own tests that they really like Tensura story plot or not.

I read the manga before the season began but I eventually stopped cause I thought watching the anime to be much more enjoyable. The dialogue and fight scenes were really well done, and I was expecting the fights to kick off around the 5th episode. but nope, I had to wait until the 8th episode

She was not going to fight him again, she was going to make peace.

If she fights Rimuru again, it would be to stop the newly started war from continuing, meaning so no one else dies.

It has been 50+ episodes and I am really curious where is the appeal in Tensura action. I can understand the discontent with continuous yapping though.

I mean I don't need it to be action but I do think the most boring possible way to have these sorts of conversations and reveals is through a bunch of characters sitting at a table and discussing it. I very much enjoy a series like legend of the galactic heroes which is more about politics and tactics than Tensura. one thing that series does a lot is explain the tactics and strategies as they are being enacted rather than before hand, with us just knowing the setup and the goals of each side. I can't think of any stretches of episodes of that show that are continuously talking around a table. like it just has really killed the pacing in a way that has killed the hype I had for the season before it started airing. but who knows maybe my opinion will change once the full season is out and we can judge it as setup for the future. after all like half of the Chimera ant arc of hxh is just setting up the characters for the second half, and that arc is often considered to be a great one.

it's about a monster building a nation, there's going to a lot of talking.
and irrelevant?
1. the luminous church is a major player. as the high clergy men are corrupt and working to eliminate both remuru and the the church chick. while the chicken wants peace now that she knows she's been played, and demonlord luminous never had any intention of being hostile. in the end luminous will become strong allies with tempest.
2. while dealing w/ hinita and the church, and building their nation, remuru is also manipulating the kingdom of falmuth civil war and rebirth. as well as preparing for the tempest foundation festival will several world leaders are going to attend. all things that involve talking and discussion. but still major
3. at the very end of last episode or episode b4 last we saw a small group plotting, with a little girl sitting on an old man's lap. they are the family that controls the entire west's currency, aka the story's rockefellers/rothschilds. tempest threatens their control. and their hostile movements lead not only to their fall, bust tempest complete take over of the west, joing the council of the western nations. the whole shabam

so again I ask irrelevant?? read the damn book. these discussions, and plotting, and meetings all lead to major events

yes this arc is slower moving and lot more talking but leads to tempest rising and complete control of the west along with remuru now being friends milim, ramiris, and luminous. meaning half the demon lords are united and by the end of this arc he'll be friends/allies w/ 2, has 2 living in his domain, and non-aggression agreements w/ 2 one of which sends his 3 kids to work for remuru

including remuru that is SEVEN out of 8 demon lords united. with red being the only wild factor. the next arch is war with the eastern empire.

do I need to continue?
