So now after the battles and fighting are over, it's back to talking and diplomatic content again. Naturally, Rimuru plays an important role here as a leader.

Rimuru's clever mind also figures out that someone is pulling strings behind the scenes. Good to know they held a celebration this episode after all that talking. Rimuru know how to throw a celebration with food, drinks, and fun. And lol, Hinata's reaction to certain food is always priceless.

For all the buildup it had, we kind of concluded everything with as ease as snapping a finger, and then had all the afterparty too. Though yeah, when all is said and done, the meetings are once again here to make everyone feel home. Be it those people who are plotting something in a dark room behind everyone’s back.. since ages, or this newly forged friendship between two groups, we covered all the bases.

Normally you could guess people of equal standing trying to oppose each other in meetings, but as it has been in this series, that’s out of question. They mutually agree over every front, but leave the most important bit, to figure out who was manipulating Hinata plus an immediate action over him for the future lol. Sure, though let them enjoy their breaks for the time being, until we wait for another "evil guys plotting evil things" plotline to kickoff.

After an underwhelming last few episodes, now the story's back to the even more underwhelming setting that is the council room for more meetings. It was predictable given what happened for diplomatic talks and bonding to happen with Hinata/Luminous' side and Rimuru's. Got loads of talking, food and alcohol over here, continuing the celebratory feel that the ending of the last episode gave off after this 'dangerous' battle that took place over the last few episodes with the Seven Days Clergy looking like absolute geeks. The ending with Yuuki is brief but probably the sole interesting thing about the episode but given how the series has really written its antagonists in the long run, I should probably lose expectations sooner rather than later with his character. This was boring but I guess makes sense to have something like this to resolve the misunderstandings between Hinata and Rimuru and put the conflicts between everyone to bed. I just hope this anime doesn't make Hinata's character to be extremely one-dimensional and boring now that she has sided with Rimuru, and become a mindless follower like every other ally has been with him.

"That time I got stuck in the middle of a round-table conference" is still going!!!

Let's see if it's continuing for the next week too.
I need somebody who can love me at my worst
No, I'm not perfect, but I hope you see my worth
'Cause it's only you, nobody new, I put you first
And for you, girl, I swear I'll do the worst

If you stay forever, let me hold your hand
I can fill those places in your heart no else can
Let me show you love, oh, I don't pretend, yeah
I'll be right here, baby, you know I'll sink or swim

well i hated it , its become too lazy and pointless.. underwhelming and dissappointing moments all season.. just like previous one ,..
without a proper villain and stakes , its not worth watching even though the world building has been awesome ..

and if you are one of those delusional defenders of this state of mediocracy no need to waste your time and reply to me, i wont be reacting back to your comments about how this show was somehow supposed to be like this and its about the meetings and bllah blaah

I definitely prefer Litus' demeanor than Souka if we're talking about Soei's ship.

However, I prefer it if Litus is with me... (Don't quote me on that)

I want more of different reactions from Hinata. She's so adorable apologising to her subordinates earlier.

Kinda glad to see the round table on friendly terms with them, but what I am really after are the fights between Luminus and Veldora.

P.S. 9 already voted for "hate", lol 😂 out of 26 votes. It's like this: 12, 2, 1, 2, and 9.

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

Post-fight, as usual there will be a meeting.
So I can't wait to see how Rimuru will deal with the threat that will befall Tempest.
wowh, what organization in the next eps, hehe.

Hinata and Luminous are both cute. Glad to have more of them and hoping to see them even more now that they've become Rimuru's allies. Specially Hinata, she should stay in tempest, Luminous too. Need more of Hinata just eating stuff, her reactions are so good. Also someone's down bad for Souei. Villains are working behind their backs to create more problems and now there's the stuff with the angel too.

So much useless yapping again. Your comment was written like you were just copy pasting it from every other comment of the kind just to uselessly yap about it every episode cause you have an abundance of time to waste watching stuff you don't even like just to copy paste the same comment again.

There were 4 settings this time, though they were still all exposition dumps and mostly bout stuff we don't care about or already knew. Nevertheless an exposition dump to tie up loose ends after a major conflict probably wouldn't have been received badly if most of the entire major conflict wasn't ALSO TABLE MEETING EXPOSITION DUMPS. This anime burned through viewer goodwill earlier in the season for no reason except laziness.

Geez, for an episode 11, this was terrible. The fight barely lasted and no one was defeated, the Seven day old dudes simple got wiped instead of defeated.
I was expecting the whole 8 episode build-up would yield some results, but it's been pretty bad. I lost confidence that it's going to get any better.

I have zero issue with worldbuilding episodes, but I think the staff could be more creative in how they’re done. Instead of just stills of people sitting at tables talking, maybe mix up some cuts or flashbacks or the scenery, something.

People don’t wanna just watch presentations for 80 percent of an anime, gotta keep in mind the medium you’re in. I definitely appreciate them staying true to the story though and not skipping stuff, but it’s being lazily done.

I do think this was probably the best table meeting episode yet though because of Hinata and Luminous being there. Luminous for all her strength and mystery is actually cute af, hilarious and seems to get on well with people. Hinata and Rimuru obviously have the connection of being from the same world and get on well too.

Hinata the only one who’s even suspicious of Yuuki rn.. if only Rimuru knew what he was scheming

Throwing a full Japanese style party was cool, but Rimuru gotta be careful getting too drunk and spilling secrets like the magisteel communication plans. But that does show people how he genuinely wants to make the world a better place!

Hopefully next episode has more going on

I'm gonna be honest that I really don't understand the motivation of the villain who's one of the other people reincarnated/summoned from Japan.

Like why does he want to fight Rimuru this whole time, and what would he get out of it? 👀 It doesn't really seem like there's any point in him bothering, but I guess his motivation is explained at some point?

Well yea because a economic powerhouse like Tempest would make the eastern merchants's existance worthless. Kudo's to Hinata for having such loyal comrades though. Even after their passing the seven morons were still pretty pathetic existances. In the end im glad that despite the mess that the two nations were dragged into that they were able to forge a truce. The Sukiyaki banquet really was the perfect way to cement it. Looks like the grandmaster is going for the long plan.

Essentially a "boardroom meeting" the whole episode. No fights, Nothing interesting happening. They are just discussing things that has already happened..

Very disappointing, especially since i USED TO consider this show the highpoint of the anime week at one point in time. Not so any longer. I don't know what happened. They made a show that was so wildly popular that other anime creators would be green with envy. All they had to do was keep going just like they were and watch the money flood in.
Did they change the whole staff? Did they run out of source material entirely?
Whatever the reason for this new course it's failing. Not even the current "Hinata arc" is interesting. I would have quit the show already if not for the fact I used to enjoy it so much.

When you thought that we've seen the last of the infamous meetings, another one rolls up to strike a critical hit on us all!!!

Regardless if you like them or hate them, this one was important due to it setting the foundations of a good relationship between both parties involved. The after party where Rimuru was able to get drunk again after Luminous told him about how to weaken one nullification of poison just to get a nice kick from downing a lot of alcohol was amusing as he blurted out multiple secrets. XD

Peace has returned one again, although seeing what Yuuki is planning on his end does mean that danger will be lurking around the corner once again. The next episode's title sounds like a wholesome event will be happening, although I'm curious to know more about what Yuuki and his allies are plotting.

Ngl, I got war flashbacks when I saw them around the table again lol, but I can thankfully say this was one of the better meeting episodes that we’ve had, and this is thanks to several factors. The first thing is the importance of the meeting, I get why they need to do this right after the big conflict, I like this kind of placement for a meeting, they gotta settle relations between countries and what to do next, I also think Luminous and the knights made things more interesting. And there’s also that this time we weren’t stuck to a single table for the whole episode, once they were done with the main part of the meeting we got to see everyone in yukatas/kimonos and have more of a chill time with some funny bits mixed in, do not take Hinata’s food lol.

And I also liked that when Rimuru went on a drunken rambling about state secrets, we actually got to see what he was talking about, they could have kept it on Rimuru’s mouth flapping but I’m glad we got some visuals to accompany what he was saying. And I’d say the least interesting of the meetings was on the villains’ side of things, i kinda liked the stuff with Yuuki since he’s been around for a long time and I’m intrigued about what his next moves will be, but this stuff with the Rozzo family just looks to me like another bunch of villains that will underestimate Rimuru and get done in just like the seven days guys, so I don’t really care about them lol.

And speaking of the seven days, we got more about why they did what they did, and if all of them have backstories similar to Gran then perhaps this was Luminous’ fault after all lol, that’s just what I got from it. And lastly, damn that lady knight is sure smitten with Souei, I read a bit of the details on what went down between them in the LN and let’s just say I understand now lol.

Makes me wonder if the scene of Rimuru and Hinata's intro city fight was only ever just bait. They've been showing them clash in his city for a long time now only it's looking like that's not really happening. I honestly don't care if it doesn't, I just thought its kinda funny.

There's also a fight in S2 intro that's not included in any of the episodes. When Rimuru gets his adventurer's card in Blumund.

"That time I got stuck in the middle of a round-table conference" is still going!!!

Let's see if it's continuing for the next week too.
@Pinoffin well the rest of this season would be more politics and interaction between characterers so if you want to drop and w8 for the biggest war arc in tensura where they're just mention about Angel you'll probably would hated the rest of it especially the next season cuz like I said no more big war only characterers development. But I can't w8 for the Dungeon opening its not spoiler cuz ITS on the op and probably the next op but men that shit lit, no big action though lol.

I don't care what anyone says, these negotiations episodes are great for the story and the world building. Rimuru has opened up peaceful relations with a very strong western nation now. Following all that confusion and manipulation that almost resulted in Hinata dying things are looking up for both sides. Luminus may be a bit of a sour puss but she's at least reasonable, except when it comes to Veldora. Willing to start a peaceful relationship between their two nations. Tempest is a country on the rise that these other nations can't just ignore anymore. Rimuru is right that they've made themselves known to important people in many different countries by this point. Rimuru and Hinata agreeing that the eastern merchants were most likely the ones behind all this, along with the Seven Days Clergy. Trying to manipulate everyone behind the scenes but coming up short because Rimuru and Luminus are just too powerful to overcome with subterfuge. They almost got close to realizing that Yuki is the behind this too, working with the eastern merchants to try and wipe out both Hinata and Rimuru. I'm glad that Hinata, Luminus and everyone stayed for dinner too, its nice just seeing them all be happy together, eat some nice food and get a buzz. Rimuru spilling essentially state secrets about what his ultimate goals are. Getting other countries to recognize monsters, building the trade route network, and establishing communication that even non magic users can access over long distances. I'd say the party was a great success and has opened many doors to future endeavors.

@amf85 nope its to dump people that actually hated the anime cuz you Will get this table meeting the different? ITS about worldbuilding and not war meeting. Which is nice cuz people need to drop it so they're finally can think again maybe watched some jjk again lol. Cuz you'll be bored buddy next season I think would be meeting between difference tribe/monster. But the Great war is what they just hint in this Ep the Angel and when its coming people would love the Sura again but for now they're would be no more big action and shit.

Glad to see this excellent show is weeding out the casual viewers and pointless action addicts again. But sadly they never actually leave, they just whine in the comments page as if the makers in Japan even care about westerners on MAL. Another example of a loud minority spoiling something for the majority who appreciate a good story.
