goib1234 said: When everyone ask when the fight begins, someone said next week bruh next week. After they wait for a week, then they get a prank. Good well you will ask this again and wait for another few weeks again. World building huh, how many times i hear that bullshit everytime this show ruined many people expectation. Before it started, Everyone were overhyped and overrated this show while other shows actually can give better plot, charracter developement there even if they are in same or different genre. Spoiler that should let them feel relief now is nothing more than just bullshit lol. I mean if you have read LN/WN before then you probably know better than anyone, right? (it shouldn't be 100% accurate, but atleast more than 0% is better lol). Okay, first half of this episode is about Clayman bad motive and second half other Demon Lord/Dragon are bitching/bad mouthing Clayman, somehow they talk about Veldora and Rimuru but look like they get wrong info about them. It just average. I have to say congrats! to you then You have watched things that you dont like or you deemed "average" until S2 part 2 EP 6, thats umm... iirc 42 episodes in total The slime pacing has always been "slow" since S1 EP 1, you know? it means, it is undoubtedly a Miracle you're survived until EP 42, not many ppl could be blessed by a miracle like this...everyone would be envious of you |
| I had a feeling that Millim was being manipulated by Clayman and now we have proof. It seems that the other Demon Lords are not happy with Clayman's actions either, so if Rimuru manages to defeat Clayman he would be doing the other Demon Lords a huge favor. |

SamuraiNinja1 said: Why is Clayman so dumb. He underestimates Rimuru too much. cuz rimuru doesnt look like a scary slime, he's hiding his aura 24/7 being underestimated by others is inevitable |
| yawn what awesome animation......over the build up already zzzz |
 |
| blah blah blah every episode there's someone new who's talking and plotting or they just have meetings |
| I don't think it's that big brain of a worldbuilding- so it feels stretchy. But I don't think people who are totally abhorrent to it are getting the show either. These last few episodes were the few ones where I am actually appreciating the time 8-bit is giving for this shit. I would have been a bigger fan of Tensura if second half of S1 was like that. S2 part 1 has some big problems too before nailing the finish. But this time, I am enjoying this type of build-up a lot more than Shion-Shuna fooling about, Gabiru spamming the same gags, spending overtime with uninteresting characters and all the weird SoL moments that were done better in Nikki. Coming to the episode, we meet probably the oldest demon lord, who has a freaking ice palace?! He gives me Gojo Satoru vibes. Leon is a mysterious NEET with his experiments, and I have a feeling he's a reincarnation too. We now also have 2/4 heavenly dragons with Velzard. It saddens me to think these characters won't probably have much screentime before much later. Clayman is exactly what I have deduced him to be - insecure, control freak and kinda scummy. I don't think Milim would be so easily taken control of by a mere necklace unless Frey is a hypnotic item specialist or something. I don't know why Frey is allying with Clayman unless for some debt/selfish reason, but I think she's intelligent enough to fool him in some way. Even Laplace warned Clayman that he should be careful of what he thinks he controls. At the end, after Walpurgis and all that Falmuth conquering shit they are setting up, I don't think Clayman stands a chance. He dug his own grave by playing with fire. Kinda should have stayed with making donuts... |

| And now, we've hit the half point of the second part of this season with nothing but pure buildup. In any other anime, 6 episodes (half of a single-cour season) would've been enough to complete one, or even two arcs, but in Slime's case they insist on dragging this out for as long as possible; demanding viewer retention, despite knowing how needlessly lengthy this buildup has been. Although, to be fair, this week's episode was significantly more interesting than the previous ones. However, that still doesn't excuse the issues of bloated exposition and mundane pseudo-politics. |

Couldn't agree more, week after week of just spinning its wheels with little to no plot advancement. I thought the manga was tedious at points, but this is just ridiculous |
| I hate how they planned on keeping Veldora a secret...and yet everyone knows. It's interesting but in the same sense it kind of sucks. The only good thing is that they do not know *yet* that Rimuru is a Demon Lord. SO once Walprugis hits things should get spicier. It was cool to see Veldoras sister though. |

| Finally, the talking is over, well, on Rimuru's side at least, now we get to see Milim and the rest of the demons. |
 |
| Another build up episode, but this was a decent one compared to the previous 5 which were filled with completely unnecessary, repetitive dialogue. Was hyped last week, but now I am even more hyped for next episode and hopefully we get to the interesting part. |
| People have become so used to the utilization of instant gratification instead of having long-term, slow-moving stories that everything that isn't either an endless collection of strung-together short-stories or a stretched out climax will end up being perceived as "filler". But people will still like it in the end despite complaining now. Why do I think that? Because that's literally what happened in S2P1. You could even tell by the score. The score fell and fell and fell during S2P1 to almost around S1 levels, like 8.10 - but where is it now? It's at 8.41, as the score exploded after S2P1 EPs 10 and 11, which even carried S2P2 so far up in score that despite all the complaints about "too much talking", people still rate it as equal to S2P1 even now without having any of the truly juicy parts yet. In other words: It works, and MAL itself has been witness to that. |

| It's kind of funny that they think Veldora is weak because he pulled a DBZ move and reigned in his aura. It's like when Trunks faced off against Freeza. Yup, totally just a power level of 5. Nothing more than that. Nope. |
| I reject your reality, and substitute my own. |
| Intriguing episode. Guy and Leon analysing the situation was definitely interesting to see. Guy is a really fun character so far. I just wished this show was a little faster sometimes. |
 |
| Lmao Clayman said "I almost feel for the slime bluff" when he is actually falling for the bluff is so hilarious... Clayman you are a whole circus. I knew it Milim must be manipulated. No way she could betrayed Rimuru. We got another perspective from the other Demon Lord. I'm really enjoying the world building. What y'all complaining about? The dialogue is the action, bunch of impatient fans that only want mindless fight without a story lmao |

It's becoming tedious at this point |

Sankayyy said: tensura1704 said: sorry if I was rude.. but you are really mindless one, Tensura is not an action and shounen anime. It's just a normal worldbuilding fantasy story. Some fights just became a part of this series because they are needed. Even in the LN 8-9, it's shown that it completely focuses on world-building! Exactly man, I hate how everywhere I go they keep saying, "Why is there no action?" "This Anime went downhill". At least some people understand I see ;) I wish everyone needs to understand about it.. |
 If it looks like I stand no chance I’ll run away and think up a new plan, but otherwise, I should see how strong it is with my own eyes, right? |
| The third episode in a row that people told me we would get action instead of talking, only to get the 6th episode in a row of talking. But hey, at least this episode we actually got MEANINGFUL talking with actual world-building and introductions to powerful new characters. They are also doing the same-old trope of having the villain act cartoonishly evil so that the viewers will hate them and cheer when our “heroes” kill them. It is such a cheap writing trope and I’m sick of seeing it everywhere in anime. |
| Looks like the rumor peddling came to the right ears, though they assumed rightly for the higher-ups at least like the last 2 Demon Lords shown or wrongly, yes, that's you Clayman..keep doing you, you're doing great! So Milim's under Clayman's control with Frey's help, Veldora's elder sister is hanging out with Guy, and Leon's summoning someone/thing as his ultimate goal all this time. As Guy said repeatedly on his episode, this keeps getting more and more interesting! |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Finally we can see guy crimson and velzard in the anime , the next week will be focused in benimaru and the gang i think |
| Moe is Love ! Moe is Life ! |
| TELL ME CLAYMAN DID NOT JUST DO THAT SHIT! How dare he assault best girl, but this just makes his inevitable downfall all the more satisfying. He's pretty much being played by everyone for someone that likes to play with others, the irony. We also pretty much saw his true colors, we thought he was a gentlemanly manipulator, but dude's just a savage, savage as in not the cool way. That was such a great episode, I really enjoyed Guy and Leon's talk, it was really interesting. I guess Leon is summoning humans from the other world not just for the lols, but he has a reason for it. I see the demon lords and dragons don't know the art of hiding your power level yet. Veldora just chilling in tempest reading manga lmao. Really can't wait for walpurgis, it's gonna be great. |

| So next week it is. Walpurgis here wee goo!! |

It is such a cheap writing trope and I’m sick of seeing it everywhere in anime. Let me guess, everything Laplace said to Clayman and his reaction that looked very much like cognitive dissonance and caused the first ever scene of Clayman crushing his wineglass a few episodes ago did not in the slightest make you doubt Clayman's current state of mind to potentially be abnormal. Nope, it's totally all just cartoonishly evil behavior stemming from lazy writing and nothing more to it! /s See, so many here have asked why the anime creators didn't just skip over stuff or "condense" it previously. This is the answer. It would make other things seem much more shallow later on. But now, on the other hand, those who actually paid attention are rewarded with the intriguing fact that there might be more to Clayman's short-sighted cartoonish behavior than meets the eye at first glance. |

The one minute scene at the end an episode in the middle of three agreement episodes? Admittedly, the past two shows have been better but those first four episodes could have been been greatly reduced. People literally turn 1000+ page books into 90 minute movies so I don't see why they couldn't have done a better job with the adaptation. |
| There's no need for all this tension. |
| Sadly no action, but personally watching the talk between Leon and Guy was interesting enough to make up for it. Ngl couldn't stop grinning when Clayman took Rimuru's bait hook line and sinker. Great to see Clayman himself get outplayed in a game of deception and strings, but still waiting for when they make him eat shit in the end. Especially with what he did to Miliam, answers a lot of question about her actions and makes me want the crew to beat his ass even more. Also Koyasu Takehito continues to amaze me, his vocal range is actually something else and I swear this man works over time, he's been in a number of animes these past 2 seasons alone, (Re:Zero) Roswaal, (Vivy: Fluorite Eye's Song) and Clayman both last season and this season. Leon finally appears in the flesh after how long? And my God do i like him already. One of the strongest and oldest demon lords we've seen, shown as the real shit as early as s1, he's definitely lives to his titles, has his shit sorted out, being very calm and composed. Leon seems very aware of the current world, Rimuru's town and interference, Clayman, Veldora and Guy's imputes were interesting especially when Veldora's big sister appeared. Strap up, Walpurgis feels like its gonna be like finals prom but with a lot more alcohol. Ngl comparing Leon and Guy's deal to Rimuru's and Claymans, it's like moving away from the kinder garden playground fights, to the adult staff room. |

Wow, people that paid attention to when Clayman broke a glass when his power was questioned showing his inferiority complex are rewarded when he beats the shit out of a mind-controlled character that the audience likes! Do you realize that the two really are not connected? We didn’t need to see Clayman beating the shit out of Milim for us to understand that he is not a good guy and has serious issues. That was only done to cause a negative reaction in the viewer, driving up resentment toward Clayman and get the audience to root for him to be killed. This is the same thing that this series did in s2 part 1 with the villains there and many other anime have done to get viewers to hate their villains and desire to watch vengence enacted upon them. It is lazy because it is so easy to do and incredibly obvious. It’s akin to a horror movie throwing in cheap jump scares. Of course you are going to jump whenever something pops out at you and there’s a loud noise, but that doesn’t mean that the movie did a good job actually making you scared with tension, atmosphere, direction, narrative significance, etc. Nobody feels good seeing an innocent character getting mind-controlled and abused, but those negative feelings toward that character doesn’t mean that the anime did a good job establishing a well-written character that you want to see lose because of their twisted goals or ways of achieving them. We didn’t need that scene with Clayman. It was already overkill since everybody wanted to see him lose already. All that scene did was make his character that much weaker by portraying him as another cartoonishly evil nut and that we should have no problems with our heroes killing. Kinda like when they had to make Rimuru killing all of those soldiers doing their jobs more acceptable by showing some of them talk about wanting to kill and rape the people of Tempest. |
| Can't actually wait for the actual Walpurgis to happen. Also as expected Rimuru is OP as hell lmao |
"There is no such thing as an Anime elitist. You watch Anime, therefore, you are trash by society's standards." |
| Another talking episode. But this time its featured some real interesting part of the overarching story before the banquet. While Rimuru-sama preparing, everyone else gossiping the event that happened quite massive beforehand. Clayman's henchman got information about Veldora, and Rimuru from that merchant, same as Leon got. Coincidence? Well.... Oh shit Milim really being used by the damn Clayman cunningly using the pendant. I wonder how he got that pendant and whose the one the owner of those forbidden magic? On the other side, Frey, looks like, also had another plan on her mind separate from Clayman. Interesting shit might've happen at Walpurgis. Can't wait.... At the same time, another ancient demon lord like Milim (so far i feel slightly trust with this new guy. Cause the damn Leon used to be friendly with him. Well, i dunno the backstory....) get an introduction while having a meet with Leon. Such a long time for those guy to get more screen time. Guy Crimson, eh? Then the ice dragon, Veldora's older sister, as his partner? Such a nice lady-like dragon. I already like her on the first sight. Their talks and acts indeed intriguing. Well, pretty sure they will be indeed shocking to knowing that a mere slime get some real challenge to their presence and existences, especially Clayman. After all, overreacting is necessary, so they do, and me too. Right? |

goib1234 said: nina444 said: yes i know that. It slows since i watched S1 too, but i won't give it score 8+ (6~7 is better) if there are many isekais like this before (in SOL, politic, world building aspect) but they are never touching score 8+. That will be sad for me. I see that you are one of those fandom, so you don't really care for others.I have to say congrats! to you then You have watched things that you dont like or you deemed "average" until S2 part 2 EP 6, thats umm... iirc 42 episodes in total The slime pacing has always been "slow" since S1 EP 1, you know? it means, it is undoubtedly a Miracle you're survived until EP 42, not many ppl could be blessed by a miracle like this...everyone would be envious of you I'm surviving many times just watch many shit shows. This is just an easy level tbh, so i can keep watch this show while critizing for what it lacks. I'm watching other shows not only this one so i know what to do. Probably i will choose Tensura Nikki than actual series. It actually really fun and entertaining. agreed lol I still cant believe tensura: nikki is done by 8bit... the same studio thats working on the main slime anime its anomaly how 8bit managed to make tensura: nikki (4-panels manga) into a solid anime adaptation its almost as good as kyoto animation thats working on kobayashi maid doragon |

I mean, have you been under pressured in your job and also having the boss who's shouting how incompetent you are everyday? lol thats exactly what happens to ma boy clayman, poor guy... he also could only numb himself by drinking every night... it must be rough being a demon lord btw isnt raping considered as "normal" thing in war? why are you so suprised? not to mention, falmuth soldiers are planned to rape "ppl" (tempest denizens) who are not protected by the laws iF they didnt even plan to break the laws, why would you call em "cartoonishly evil nut"? it makes zero sense lol |
