| 10 mins of actual content, the rest was pretty much dragged out recap. Trash episode. Slime peaked at Shizu’s death. It was relatively decent up until the Orc Lords arc and it goes downhill after that. The show has too many one dimensional characters, no tension e.g. hyped up threats get defeated in an anti climatic manner. However, my biggest problem is how EVERYTHING goes easy for Rimuru. People literally worship him and join his side soon after meeting him. Everything seems to go right for him. None of the races fight in his nation or have any conflict. Rimuru acquires power and resolves any situation with ease because of how overpowered the great Sage is. Overall, It’s as if the story is on easy difficulty. 2/10 |

It's so sad that this is technically the last episode  Cant wait for a second season  |
| I haven't even read the manga and I'm disappointed. What was this episode? So much nonsense. And a recap in the middle of the episode? Super dumb and a waste. |
 |
| So that wraps up the main story episodes now. Only two episodes left to go, which are extras, but I'll certainly be looking forward to them anyway. =) As for the this episode, the main summoning of the spirits was pretty nice overall. I couldn't help but go "d'awww" when Alice gave Rimuru a little kiss on his cheek after she got her superior spirit. That moment was incredibly sweet. ^v^ Chloe's summoning was a bit unexpected, though. I feel as if that spirit might be a problem for her when she gets older, but for now, she has got her own superior spirit. Like with Alice earlier, Chloe's sweet moment was when she confessed her love for Rimuru. Rimuru kindly replies to her that he likes her too, but he mentally notes that he wishes that Chloe would say that to him when she's 10 or so years older. I don't blame him for that. XD Along with a recap montage with a pretty chill song, Rimuru and Ranga finally depart, but not before Rimuru giving Chloe Shizu's mask. I do feel that mask will come in handy for her when she gets older, but who knows, I'm just an anime-only guessing what might happen in the future. =P nina444 said: kinda unpopular opinion . surprisingly I like this finale more than I thought it would be , that insert/montage song in the end was really soothing~ it's perfect fit to end this light hearted anime . and... Sakurai Takahiro is so frkn Awesome! I did not see that coming... I did not expect him to show up in this ep 😂 damn , this is super exciting! I can't wait for ep 24 This shouldn't be an unpopular opinion at all. Too many people just jump to conclusions and get frustrated, then type their anger into a post that makes their opinion half-assed and that makes me facepalm when I waste a few seconds of my life reading it. It's not a perfect end, but it's still an ending to the story episodes that I think was done well. Other users need to keep their overhyped expectations in check a bit better. =P |
| I'm glad that this arc is over. It was very boring. The last two episodes are filler, so 3/10 for the anime. |

| All weebs creatures of the galaxy, hear this message. Those of you who listen will not be struck by western animation. You will no longer know hunger, nor pain. Your Anime have come to lead you now. Our strength shall serve as a luminous sun toward which all intelligence may blossom. And the impervious shelter beneath which you will prosper. However, for those who refuse our offer and cling to their western animation ways… For you, there will be great wrath. |
| Very good finale, I don't why so many people are so upset about it. The recap was appropriate since Rimuru has indeed come a long way since he was first summoned into this world. It was very clear from the start this wasn't going to be an Overlord clone and after three big climactic battles and I happy it ended on a more light-hearted note otherwise it would have just gotten stale for me. Overall, I'm pretty impressed with how 8Bit adapted this story considering how bitter I was with how they treated Rewrite a few years ago. Looking forward to the second season! |

| Given that the last 2 episodes are filler we can count the anime as ended. It was a great adaptation, I like the work of the studio. There were a few moments at the end that caused a lot of predictions by the readers, but the anime spoiled the true answers. The only bad moments were the 2 skipped events right before Rimuru became a teacher and the changes done to the fight with the small dragon. As for this episode specifically - the only thing I disliked was replacing the 5 minutes of Rimuru creating a puppet for the demon lord with 5 minutes of recap |

Since no one knows how far the anime will be adaptated in the future, it wouldn't be a good idea to carelessly cast someone for these important roles when they only have 2-3 lines at most in this season. Though I wish they'd have a short scene of Rimuru naming Beretta at least. |
 |
| The kids have been saved! And with that, The final wish of Shizu has been fulfilled and the story comes to an end *for now*. :D Based on the ending bit, it looks like they plan on continuing the anime adaptation, and I really like how they didn't force the story to continue but instead left in parts that make people expect it to continue while not really forcing the confrontation yet. It felt like a good "stopping point" but also a point that they can continue without feeling like a whole new show. The recap was really nice imo. Hopefully the next two episodes can boost my love for the series even more. |
 I love to talk anime and manga, feel free to message me! |
| how they gon make it sound like this is the last episode lol? |
   |
| After watching this big recap there is no doubt. This series is really a waste of potential. If it at least tried to have a serious tone, the events of the show could have been interesting by creating tension on every arc. But the show is basically just good animation with childish plot. It's not bad, just decent |
 |
If any positive point has this end is that at least the protagonist did not end up surrounded by his women as the reward of having been fortunate to come to this world   |
| As the last two episodes are basically filler content, I'm going to finish the series here. For a final episode, though, this was as bland as I predicted last week. Actually, scratch that, it was worse: what need was there for a recap midway through the episode? Talk about taking laziness to another level. As for the show on a whole, it started promisingly but soon trailed off and became extremely dull, starting around midway through the Orc Lord arc and continuing all the way through to the end. To sum up why it got so dull, here's a simple explanation: tension was non-existent, actual threats were non-existent (and most of them ended up being ridiculously friendly just for the sake of it) and the characters were mostly pretty boring, or actively irritating in the case of Gabiru. In particular, Rimuru took the "bland isekai MC" trope to new levels, having zero personality whatsoever throughout the show's entire run, having an exposition machine built into his head (it's a sign of a weak writer that such a narrative device exists and was used so much) and being ridiculously OP to the point where only Milim ever posed a threat to him (until she inevitably became his friend after one insignificant bout). Worse still, the whole slime thing that the show advertised itself with was little more than a bait to make people believe this wasn't just "generic isekai #8712"; he took on human form for most of the show anyway and was way more OP than a slime is meant to be. Outside of that, this show just felt like it lacked any real purpose or direction; it just felt completely aimless (I seem to recall reading an interview in which the author stated it took him ages to figure out what he actually wanted to do with the story, so I'm not far off the mark). Also, some people will make comparisons to Log Horizon here, but from what I remember (it's been quite some time since I last watched it, to be fair) that show worked way better than this: it had much better characters, a more engaging plot, an actual sense of tension and most of all didn't feel completely and utterly aimless like this show has done for a while. 6/10. Easily one of the most overrated anime I've watched in recent times (probably the most overrated I've watched since Gakkou-Gurashi, however long ago it was that it aired). EDIT: Wow, not even 10 minutes before someone PMs me to say I'm dumb for hating this show. Pathetic, but with how defensive some posters on here have been when anyone has the audacity to be negative about this show, I'm not at all surprised. Thank fuck I won't have to deal with this shite anymore after this episode (and after a few inevitable quotes to come from the usual suspects). |

| That was a great conclusion to season 1 and i'm gonna keep my fingers crossed that those scenes with the guy with the crystal ball and the woman behind the tree mean there's gonna be a season 2! Also i feel like the girl behind the tree is Chloe in the future or that she has some kind of bigger connection to Shizu... |

| Welp, and there I thought we might get Shizu back because she was the only good character in this anime. Guess not. GG Isekai Smartphone was better |
 |
| I don't understand if helping the kids was that simple then why was it a big problem in the 1st place? Someone explain to me. |
| So this was the last true episode and the next 2 are bonus, great show overall, really enjoyed it |
 |
| @Atavistic and your point is? you could not say anything especially negative, this does not end and if announced the second season sure you also end up seeing everything ;) |

The one behind the tree is for season 2 Ah, i see! Thank you for clearing that up! |

Kinoxi said: It actually makes perfect sense that this is how the anime comes to its conclusion. If 8bit decided to include Hinata vs Rimuru, they would also have to continue all the way to which is simply impossible considering only two more episodes remain. Anything less than that would be a truly bad way to end the show. In your opinion how many episodes would it have taken the anime, if they had decided to show rimuru's fight with hinata and his ascension to true demon lord? |
| So the series is going out with a whimper rather than a bang. This episode was padded as hell. Seriously it's trailed off towards the end which is disappointing as the first half was great. Loved the animation and world building. So what we get now are two filler episodes, bizzare. |
| Oh man. Yeah this series became tedious for me at some point, yet I never perceived it as bad. Might change my mind with this episode xD |

madarchod said: I've only read the wn-version, so I don't know how things went in the published version, but maybe 3-4 episodes? Sad to see they decided against that, Rimuru spitting a certain someone out, freed from his "prison" and scaring the everliving shit out of the residents of Tempest would have been a perfect ending.Kinoxi said: It actually makes perfect sense that this is how the anime comes to its conclusion.

| Recap is a recap, filler is a filler. Both are NG regardless of manga, VA, S2 and other excuses. I can re-watch if I want recap and they can do OVA for side stories. Waste of screen time otherwise. |
| wholesome till the end |
| Don't believe the hype. |
| I started off really enjoying the series but somewhere in the halfway point I started to lose interest. I wish there was more tension in the show but it was kind of obvious the majority of the problems would be solved easily. I won't mind a second season but it's going to take a while since it's adapting the manga, right? |
 |
| So apparently this is the "final" episode, took me by surprise but quite fitting for the show I guess. The recap would be more emotional if it was 50+ episodes, but oh well. |
 |
| It's basically serie's finale and yet it's the greatest filler of the serie. I had really high hopes for this anime, but its second half is just bad, as somebody mentioned before, after Orc Lord it was just going downhill. Story, humour, everything. I hope OVAs will be at least funny to make me not giving it less than 7. |
| Didn't expect this to be the end to be honest. Seeing as we have 2 extra episodes as side stories, the ending seemed rushed to me, but overall TenSura was quite enjoyable. Second cour was weaker than the first, but still really good. 8/10 (for main story). |

SAMe19 said: So the next 2 episodes can be considered filler? No. EP24 is something that was never shown yet, but was supposedly referenced in the LN, while EP25 is something that always came as an extra with the full manga volumes. Those are not fillers. Both are canon and written by the LN author. |

If you think those were filler episode, well you might need to try to understand the author better. - We had 5 and a half important characters shown, 3 of which are in the final chapter and impact the whole plot. - We had learned that Rimuru can invoke demon (in anime that is) - We had 3 large foreshadowing, 2 of which resulting in event happening in the story. - The main villain was shown ... - Kurobe was shown :3 This isn't an action packed story, important plot point are mostly done in calm episodes like this, you just aren't paying attention to them. You don't read my mind, so don't assume that I'm not paying attention. |

| Lol Rimuru's expression when talking about demons. Nice seeing the great sage get a much larger role in this ep. It was cute seeing the usually quiet Chloe show jealousy. That spirit that inhabited Chloe though sure was curious. Glad that in the end the spirit quest was successful and the kids were saved. Showing the major battles of the past arcs as flashbacks sure was nice. Loved the insert song as well. The last scenes of seeing how Rimuru's allies fared in the village and around the world sure was fun and welcome. Despite their initial dislike of him the kids sure ended up getting quite attached to Rimuru especially Chloe. Rimuru's parting gift sure was a nice gesture. Really made the kids look smart. |

| Good ending I would say, we start with the children invoking the spirits, blonde loli kisses slime sensei, Chloe gets jealous, Chloe is still jealous, Chloe confesses, Chloe will have to wait a few years, Chloe called the attention of a rare spirit, KISS?, the hero?, danger?!, from the future? WTF! All according to keikaku, Chloe. (TL note: keikaku means plan). They were all saved, yay! And then they skipped this... okay, it looks like they're accelerating, we didn't even say goodbye to Ramiris :( Oh no, these words no, yep, they're doing a montage with everything that's happened, the music is beautiful, the feels, I'm getting sad, this smells like an end. Shizu :'( Oh no, another montage, this is getting sadder, yes, this is ending. Weird guy shows up. Farewell, Chloe gets the mask, see you again. The spirit of the hero from the future? + the mask + Veldora reacting to her seems to indicate that she is in one way or another the hero, now, why the big attachment to Rimuru, is only for this time that he was with her? because it seems like something else. Damn it, each time there are more and more questions. Hi Hinata, despite having an epic fight in the first opening, you only showed up for a moment without saying a single word. Aw, so episode 23 was really the end and the other two remaining episodes will be extras. Well, overall I loved the series, it was a lot of fun and with a lot of charisma. My only complaint would be with the Charybdis arc that even though I thought it was entertaining I feel like they put too much into too few episodes, especially episode 17, which is a shame because that was Milim's arc and I loved Milim. And perhaps also with the second half in general because it didn't feel like it had a clear direction, or rather it felt like a build-up to a big climax that didn't happen... yet and we're halfway there. Still, I really liked the last arc because we went back to that light hearted feeling of the first half which is probably what I liked the most about the series. It seems that the series is selling very well, so I hope that after the extra 2, Veldora or whoever, announces a second season, fingers crossed! |

I understand your point but it's not a good way to end the series is it? The children arc was utterly forgettable and my expectations are low for the remaining episodes. Unless season 2 is confirmed then all the teases are pointless. As someone else said on this thread the latter half of the series just screams bad planning. Not that it makes it a bad show but im disappointed. |
