That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime
| I read the whole webnovel and I'm following the manga, and the last episodes felt like fillers. |

| As I can remember, pacing of Season 1 had a problem because of staff discussion, correct me if im wrong. There were the people responsible to give money to produce the anime, and on the other hand there were the anime producers and Fuse (Light Novels author). The first group only wanted to adapt the first 6 volumes while the the second group only wanted the first 2 volumes, with only 24 episodes. Then they come to an agreement, to do only the first 4 volumes. You can see how the content of Vol3 (eps 15-19) were a bit rushed and they only showed the second half of Vol4 (until ep 23). Given how that Season ended, they planned to ´´recover´´ the missing part in these first 4 episodes. The events now should happen in a good way, of course I hope in this first cour we can see the beggining of Vol6 and not only focus on Vol5. |
| Slime tends to Adapt a Light Novel volume in 6-8 episodes. That is atleast twice as slow as other Light Novel adaptations and, atleast for me, that is a good thing. Most adaptations rush things trying to Adapt a volume in 3-4 episodes giving us a product that feels rushed. Even the Mushoku Tensei anime (One of the best LN-Anime adaptations in my opinion) is rushing things too much. This uses a 6-8 episode = a volume ratio That helps flesh out the world more and skip less stuff (even if they adapt out of order like in vol.4) JokerxHisoka said: How can something that comes from the original source feel like filler? Did you skip right to arc 4 When Season 1 ended? Because what they are adapting right now is content they had originally skipped from WN Arc 3/LN Volume 4 while making season 1. The interesting WN Arc 4/LN Volume 5 stuff will probably start this week or next (Haven't watched the episode because of classes)I read the whole webnovel and I'm following the manga, and the last episodes felt like fillers. |

| As someone who absolutely LOVED season 1, I have to say this new season is a HUGE BORE. I usually skip 50% of the episodes in S2 because it's just plain boring idle chatter. I absolutely can't stand Rimuru lately, but I enjoy all the other characters, especially the goblins, Mirimu (who is not even here now) and Old Man Oni err Hakurou xD In my opinion the show started off great, but it seems to be taking a free fall in this season so far. I never read the manga so this is all about the anime.I really am sick of Rim's "classroom" scenes with the brats, I literally just skip this part now. What's it add to the show? NOTHING. It's just a waste of filler in all forms! Oh, and I'm only critical because like I said I was very into this anime last season (up to the brat arc anyway). I like watching him conquer cocky enemies and stealing their powers while everyone's jaw dropped in awe. Idk if the writer wanted to steer away from trying to seem too "Overlord" or what, but Rim is just plain irritating me as a protagonist now, and his female chipmunk voice is just grating my ears at this point. I thought Kirito would remain my last favorite protag of all time but Rim is gonna take the mantle at this point.. LOL At least ep 4 showed some promise for ep 5, because 1-4 were certainly at least 50% skippable for me! |

I didn't skip anything, but they are out of place. It was supposed to be that big happening right now but we came back to "teaching the kids", which was a really boring part of the novel. |

| As a Light Novel reader. I think season 2 pacing is kinda fast but not really that fast, it was at least better than I expected |

The last episodes of S1 and this first ones of S2 (Volume 4 of the LN) are the calm before a BIG storm. That storm being what is coming this next episodes. |

Agree, the pacing is too slow and idc if others were "source readers" and think "it will get 100% better" calm before storm bull or whatever. S1 was barely bearable to watch and now characters are more irritating than before it's getting too old. rhinette said: It feels really slow. Even if i were not to compare it with the LN or manga, most parts are uneventful especially episode 3. I do not mind dialog-heavy episodes as long as it gives important details but that's not what it is. Maybe that's just me because i've only seen up to episode 3. looking forward to watching to watching episode 4 if there will be changes. JokerxHisoka said: I read the whole webnovel and I'm following the manga, and the last episodes felt like fillers. I'm with you guys on this. Also seems we have a funboi over here replying to every critical comment. Just because it's in the original source doesn't mean you can't dislike it, as many parts we can do without as they do not directly affect the story. More elf bars and bath scenes please I can't die to watch them! LUL |
| i like the pacing.. but i am not 12 and only want too see fights constantly... |
| Maybe because I read the manga and the anime is jumbled up so it feels weird and disjointed to me. It's like it's both slow but also too fast? |

The pacing is better this season, it seems to me that they are changing the order of some events but it doesn't seems that they skipped anything. The ln is a mix of slice of life and battle fantasy. There's a LOT of slice of life chapters that are really good to read between the fights. So if you find the pacing strange is probably because of this aspect in the ln, it's not necessarily fault of the production team I had to reread the manga so I could compare what felt disjointed. It wasn't the SOL chapters in between fights since those were in the manga as well. It was on how they showed time on the events. I never once blamed the production team... |

Kbenicio said: JokerxHisoka said: They aren't. The webnovel actually is another story with the same charactes(if I'm not mistaken it starts to diverge strongly at the beginning of V3 or 4). Since the Anime is based on the LN that's probably the reason you felt that these first few episodes are like filler because they essentially are different from the web novel. I already read the LN until V10 and I'm planning to read the webnovel to see how things were before the LN.I read the whole webnovel and I'm following the manga, and the last episodes felt like fillers. I didn't say they are fillers, but that they felt like fillers. I'm reading the manga, which is ahead of the anime and is based on the light novel too, and it didn't diverge much from the webnovel yet. What I meant is, the anime had already cut these parts, but now they backtracked and are rehearsing these scenes that aren't even that important, right when it was supposed to happen a big event. |
