| Such a good wholesome and fun episode this was! Almost felt like the Slime Nikki spinoff from a few years ago with how chill it was. Benimaru got himself a proper harem now, Hakuro meets his long lost daughter and poor Gabiru can’t get a woman to look his way ๐ Actually quite funny that Momiji and Albis got off to such a bad start during the Tengu envoy meeting and then they’d go on to become rivals in love, it was written in the stars. Momiji is really adorable and Benimaru’s lucky to have her as a fiance! Not like he had any choice because Hakuro and Kaede would kill em if he refused lmao Good thing the whole big misunderstanding between the tengu had about tempest wanting to mess up the sacred mountain and take their land got cleared up quickly. Rimuru getting jealous over Benimaru harem and here come Diablo talking about some “I only have eyes for Rimuru” ๐ “who asked you” . Gabiru on the other hand can only get a harem of dudes, poor fella keep working hard I believe in you lol. Really fun episode and even without the action it went by in a blink |

| Now I understand as to why this episode is called "Benimaru's Ordeal". The poor guy seems to be more popular with the ladies than he would like to be! XD Momiji is a proper cutie, but I wasn't expecting Hakuro of all people to be her father. Still, I'm glad that the two of them had a happy reunion. Thanks to all of this, along with Gabiru's own romantic issues, the all out love and battle is certainly going to make things more hectic than ever. While the battle between Shuna and Shion for Rimuru's affections sounds fun, I do want to see Momiji and Albis battle it out to see who'll win in their battle for Benimaru's love. This was a fun episode and I expect the next few episodes to have that same feeling as we get closer towards the festival itself. |
| Genuinely good episode. The harem talk was both unexpected and funny Also rare Rimuru L, he is actually jealous of Benimarus harem lmao |
| "This emotion is mine alone. It is for Madoka alone." - Homura or how I would descripe Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica. |
| Her name is Momiji and she is a white wolf Tengu? You gotta be kidding me. |
| Probably the best episode this season lol |
| This whole episode ended up being about the Tengu Clan and Momiji, I found it quite enjoyable mainly because of the Hakuro backstory, as well as Benimaru’s harem discussion, that man has some very beautiful babes after him, now with Momiji vying for him as well, and this was followed up by the others being sad they don’t have a harem of babes, although Souei has it figured out with the lady knight from earlier this season lol. And I liked Momiji herself, she seems like she’ll be a fun addition, I’m hoping we get a follow-up on the challenge Albis issued her because I really want to see that lol. Although I do feel bad for Momiji, because with the reveal that Hakuro is her father, this means she has to suffer his training lol, she’ll become a badass in no time tho. |
| Satisfied with Diablo’s one-liner. |
| This is random, but with all the talk of love and whatnot, I really hope Souei & Souka end up together. |
| I have been following this show since it first aired in 2018. I loved the premise and the general vibe of that first season. It became a bit much in season two when the story felt very stretched thin and over the top. Especially with conversations going nowhere and ridiculous plot points that had little to no bearing on the story - or just that they were poorly written. Still I overlooked all of that because it was entertaining. I got through all of season two and enjoyed myself. Which is the most important thing. Now onto season three, sixteen episodes in, I can honestly say I am done with the show. The meetings, conversations, and constant exposition that is happening right now could have been cut in half and you would not have lost the essence of whatever is supposed to be going on. This is just the show runners trying to fill up the episode runtime with vacuous nonsense. Frustratingly. they have great story material right in front of them that they could be taking advantage of but are not. Even if the people who have read ahead were to tell me it was all going somewhere and the show was about to drastically pick up I am not sure I would continue on. Another glaring issue is the whole series now has an identity crisis and cannot figure out what genre it is in - because of that its writing really suffers. Speaking of writing. In a show as dialogue heavy as this you really have to know how to write dialogue that keeps people engaged. This is not happening. Some of the most ridiculous comments defending this writing that I have seen from people are those who say "wait until it has all aired and then binge watch it". Why would you binge watch a season, twenty four episodes long, to ignore half of it. That is not the definition of a binge worthy show. Agree or not, I am glad there are people who are enjoying the show but this clearly is not for me anymore. |
| Momiji is super cute, I can't decide who is better for Benimaru, I feel pretty bad for the three beast, they were supposed to be rather strong but have been nothing but jobbers, the perfect example of "the boss when you fight him vs the boss when he joins your party". Why is everyone so damn good looking and hot in this show! so many handsome guys and so many sexy girls!!! |
| Another amazing episode. Benimaru-kun is a man among men. And popular with the ladies. |
| 111 cm: Hancock 110 cm: Zoro 100 cm: Robin |
| Good episode as usual. They combined a few different scenes together to speed things up. Kaede was pregnant for 300 years. That's a LOT of missed child support Hakurou has to pay lol. This episode again reminded us how dangerous naming a monster really is. They could literally die just by attempting it. Hakurou didn't get a name for centuries, and Kaede was incapable of performing her duties after naming Momiji. This makes Clayman constantly giving out names by mistake even funnier!! He had a seizure after naming Anty, and was out cold for two days in Ramiri's labyrinth after naming Viol. XD |
| i feel bad for benimaru, but i think he actually likes albis more than momiji. it may be because she's a helluvalot younger than him, but i think albis and him went through quite an ordeal together and was able to get to know each other a bit better. momiji's practically just foisted on to him on a whim by her mother and now hakuro is trying to sway him to marry his daughter he just recently met lol |
       |
| I find it funny how it turned into guys romance gossip and problems in the middle of a official meeting with the envoys... LMAO neither the time or place xDDDDD |
| so benimaru has a bigger harem than the mc rimuru himself :D? momiji is very cute :3  |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| This was an unexpectingly sweet episode. The meetings we held in this episode were more heartwarming than the usual city development meetings. In the middle of giving Benimaru some new struggles, Hakugo gets a lore drop? It was a really nice surprise. With such a large and ever expanding cast of characters, it must be tough to get everyone in the spotlight. The less popular possee sure hits a little close to home though. |
| This was good, ganbatte benjimaru!!!! I hope she wins his heart but man that is a lot all at once. I think the reunion of father and daughter could have been handled better, but I was glad to see it. |

| @Scootboi god forbid an isekai anime can't expand on it's harem/romance elements. also ecchi? this bozo is watching the anime while his eyes are closed lmao |
 |
| Time to destroy that holy mountain then. |
| . |
| The show panning to Rimuru's admirers including Diablo fucking killed me lmao, Diablo is best girl. Damn, Hakuro got a whole family we did not know about at all, even he, did not know about it lmao. Benimaru the rizzler. The boys really had a discussion about harems, you'll get yours too someday Gabiru and Geld, we don't need to talk about Souei. You'd think Kaede is still healthy the way she looking fine, damn it Rimuru, give her some magicules. |
 |
| Benimaru my man finally leveled up. Two women fighting over him + many more intrested. Harem so big even made Rimuru jealous. Poor Gabiriu feel bad for him. Hakuro what a Chad though. Momoji is cute too. Benimaru looks like pull a Rudeus and double wield fox-loli & snake-onesan. |
| At least it's not a meeting episode. I mean it's mostly not a meeting episode |
 |
| The arrival of the Tengu's daughter Momiji to Tempest, with a backstory from Benimaru and his group's meeting to expand Tempest of the request to meet the Tengu and cut through a hole of the sacred Tengu mountains, things weren't as good for first impressions through negotiation as envoys passing through sacred land, with Albis almost being killed. But for Momiji's mother of Elder Kaede to reveal how she met the Sword Savant of Byakura Araki a.k.a Hakuro, Benimaru is faced with something unexpected: a marriage proposal to Momiji. And that brings the situation to now where Momiji faces Rimuru, though when it comes to the former Demon Lord Frey wanting to invade their space, it's indeed a deadlock, but it's thankfully a misunderstanding where the loss of Clayman exposes competition for the neighbouring competing lands. Of course, the legend husband comes back from Falmuth finally seeing his daughter in the flesh and the wife's request to train the daughter, Albis is the unexpected addition to Benimaru's harem of suitors...if only Rimuru didn't dig his grave with Shion, Shuna and Diablo. The harem talk is just too hilarious, especially on Gabiru's side of admirers being just men. But back to serious business, Benimaru only needs one spouse...and Rimuru's fight from Shion and Shuna...the Love and Battle harem is an interesting angle to add to Tempest. Diplomacy aside, it's fun showing a side of Tempest not expected. |
 |
| From Hakuro had a daugther into Benimaru Harem LMAO |
 |
| This episode is so fun. Revelation about Moniji being Hakuro's daughter and Benimaru actually have harem around him all this time is so interesting  |

| @arvin_1219 blud this anime has turned into an absolute carcass of what it was. awesome fights, character development, and good moments. now it's just a bunch of people sitting at a table for 9 episodes, one fight, and back to the table I'm not "watching it with my eyes closed" you invalid, i'm critiquing it for being dog shit compared to what it was. |
| That was a fun episode. The Tengu are by far the most interesting of the new races we've met in the last couple episodes. Momiji's an entertaining mix of strength, regal, and youthful inexperience so she'll make a solid addition to the group. Hakuro instantly stepping into the role of concerned father and leaning on Benimaru was hilarious. I hope he goes and sees Kaede at some point though. I loved the bro chat about women and harems that broke out in the middle of the formal audience. The ogre chicks have been competing over Rimiru forever, so people complaining about "what does this show want to be?" like it's new haven't been paying attention. The only bad thing when it goes nowhere forever and the dude's just flustered, so if we're doing that twice as much with Benimaru in the mix that'll get old quick. I loved the tonal shifts. We went from diplomacy to a brief fight to Kaede spilling her guts about her life and daughter to playing things for a bunch of laughs. I'm cool with that, keeps things interesting. What's the show about? What does it want to be? All of it and everything, hopefully. |
| Love was in da air, damn we need more of this. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |

Thanks for explaining your decision that maturely.
ngl the toxic comments I read about this seasons quality (from both sides btw) drive me crazy, so this is quite refreshing!
I hope you'll have fun with other great anime this season!
| @Braincoke No worries. I have always enjoyed the world building elements of the show and the simplistic way it was handled therein. The series was a great bit of escapism for me when I was younger and especially through the pandemic years with season 2. But now there are plenty of things I do not enjoy like this developing harem subplot and the endless filler dialogue that is used to fill up runtime. It isn't the first show to go off the rails like this and it certainly will not be the last. I may yet finish the season once it has all aired, just out of morbid curiosity, but my time with Slime Isekai is over. |
