Yeesh. Hope not that far. They'd need to skip just about EVERYTHING from the life in the Royal Capital Arc for them to get there. That and all of the world building in terms of the monster countries progress.

They could take their time with the forest disturbancr arc but if they took another 8 ep to adapt it and end it at the vol 3 of LN. I do wonder what will happen considering that the end of vol 3 is the clichés think ever (and our journey is just beginning and stuff)

It's a tough decision you know they have finite budget and the goal is too promote the LN and manga so you can't gift everything

You can mantain the pacing and create lack luster ending or speed up the think a bit and ended at an actuall ending at vol 4 (you know hinata and stuff)

They already choose too make the best introduction as possible 8 ep vol 1 and 7 ep vol 2, they choose to give at least the begining the best treatment after all those are the basis to what to come. They only have 8 ep left until ep 23 so sacrifice need to be made

To be honest I'm here just patiently waiting for ep 24 and 25

Shizu and diablo arc
Veldora diary hm....

Their decision to sacrifice a few consistentcy for these two is ok for an LN reader like me to be honest

Usually marketing tactics to force people buy the manga or LN.

If everything inside anime no one buy manga or LN.

but still....yeah this one need to slow down a bit.......

Talk about lazy writing, having Youm literally go from looking down on and not trusting Rimuru one moment, to suddenly calling him Master the next. Also, are people seriously complaining that this is rushed? Other than the rapidity of that change of heart, the pacing here is still ridiculously slow, so how this can be rushed I really don't know.

Iirc, in the manga Rimuru gave him quite some time to decide, Youm doesn't want the glory and profusely refuses, but Rimuru insisted, and Youm and the others spend quite some time on Tempest, socialize and got to know some of the monsters, and that's all in the span of 3 days to a entire week before he finally decided, obviously the anime failed to execute that, it just show some slideshow kind of summary of that

And about Youm taking Rimuru as master, that doesn't even happen in the manga, he just took the role Rimuru gave him and that is the hero who beat the orc lord, nothing more, not sure about in the LN tho and then

sba said:
Hmm. I almost read every comment. But can anybody tell me who is Laplace ? And on one screen deamon lord said laplace sense something wrong. What could it be?
And Youm : who is he ? Is he that important charc ?

Mattinator95 said:



They have 5 epiosdes till episode 23 and it won't end on the hineta stuff it will end where the manga is ATM

Mattinator95 said:
It isn't going to slow down they have 5/7 epiosde left excluding the two extra epiosdes.

Briandias said:


The manga will end at hinata I'm pretty sure it's only 2 to 3 cp till you guys get too hinata arc maybe, it is currently cp 51 in the manga right?

2. youm never called rimuru master , it's crunchyroll screwed up . again .
instead of master the eng sub is supposed to say "benefactor" , "patron" , or smthn along the line . hence their relationship is arguably on the same ground/level , rimuru even acknowledges youm as a close friend afterwards

Wow this arc has been hugely rushed. Like compared to the detail and worldbuilding of the first arc (eps 1-8) this arc is derailing the story. Like Youm got shafted so hard that it "looked" like he went from an asshole to Rimuru to respecting him in one transition scene. There's also the demon lord scenes and Milim interactions getting shafted too.

I wonder why they're rushing this and not just keep up the pace of the first arc and adapt 3 LN volumes instead of 4. Now I heard that the last 2 episodes gonna be an original episode, that can't end really well.

As usual, Rimuru is a master negotiator. I forgot what his profession was in the real world but I am sure it is helping him out immensely in this world.

This is such a feel good series. Each and every episode makes me feel happy, except for the episode where Shion passed away and the Orc Lord died.

Also jiggly-butt Milim can be easily be bribed with food.

You don't know why people conplaining that this is a rushed? Because you don't read the source yet , the studio skip a lot from the manga.

With good damn reason.. this shit feels slow even with the rush.

dm_T said:
To be honest, the quality of the show is starting to go downhill after the Orc disaster, the pacing is way too fast, seems like they are trying to rush the whole season til the "teacher" chapter, or even spirit chapter as well. Sometimes you have the moment that things are going way too fast and some plots just came out of no way. Just take Youm for example, in the manga they have done a lot more explaining why Rimuru chooses him to be the champion, not just picking him because he was there at the table. The process of the trust he builds with the town and Rimuru is talked by a narration, which is kinda disappointing when the manga took him down the street actually experiencing the town with some funny moments here and there. It's unlikely the show will be slowing down tho. Hope they are somehow getting better before the finale.

FlipHazard said:
I can't blame them. The anime industry is freaking retarded. One never knows if they are going to get another season, and ratings, and sales are not 100% indicative of a new season. So they try to give the viewer as much as possible relevant plot as they can by increasing the pace, and cutting "filler" out; while trying to find a good place to end, so it seems concluded and balanced if they don't get a second season. If every anime had the option to have a guaranteed 50 eps at the very least if they wanted it, I'm 100% sure the quality of many anime would go up.

ZackTrevas said:
Is it just me or does Youm looks like Araragi ( From Bakemonogatari) with grey hair?

Enryu231 said:
Why do people want the pace to slow down when it is already feels like a freaking snail? Nothing exciting basically happens in the manga after the orc lord arc, everything seems slice life filler in the manga now.

Mattinator95 said:



The demon Lord scenes from vol 3 where hardly in the manga either. And they aren't covering the whole of vol 4 .

The hineta fight in the first op was a lie

It looks like they just getting to children and a bit of ramaris that it

THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Heh, they actually got Millim to wear some normal clothes. I mean, it's about time lol

Got a good amount of screen time between her and Rimuru. All jokes aside, I guess Rimuru's friends are starting to slowly getting used to her presence. Milium is cute in just about anything she wears though if you ask me.

More like a development episode this week.

I know that you say that, but I'm pretty sure that the cliffhanger is going to be Rimuru leaving the city after finishing what he does in vol 4 and then only showing part of the vol 4 epilogue. In fact, they could even elude to this in the Veldora Observation Diary episode that they are doing. My rationale for this is that the manga has been at a double chapter release schedule for a while (although it just ended), which makes it seem like the manga is also rushing to get to the end of volume 4 as well. It seems like the Manga is in fact going to get to the end of volume 4 by the march release (on February 26th). This would coincide with the anime getting to around that same point. This is quite similar to how Ancient Magus Bride finished. They finished on events that were touched on the previous and the next months chapter (which hadn't been released at the time).

i guess youre right....
