Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken 3rd Season Episode 6 Discussion

“Radom name drops”

I know that the weird family at the end I didn’t know.

But who else gave you trouble?

Guys, if you don't like meetings, just skip this whole season!
Hina is going to be the only serious fight we get. There's a few joke fights, but 90% of the season is just people talking.
This is not the studio's fault, they're trying to be faithful to the source material. They already cut stuff and rearranged scenes for a faster pace.
If you want action, wait for season 4. It's going to be peak!!

That’s tuff because even in anime form it’s been doing very well so 🤷🏾‍♂️ tuff luck. Maybe try JJK or BNHA

That’s western fanbase and only a minority at that. It’s doing great in Japan which is all that matters so we do actually know.

Alright yall just arguing to argue at this point lmao you got it big dawg

You got it big dawg

Why are you still mentioning me after I dismissed you hours ago?

Why do you keep crying on a cartoon forum? If you have an issue with someone block and move on.

@Yaggamy No thanks. I'll keep watching because I like the characters and the world. Then I'll come here to discuss the good and bad of the episode!

If it's not the studio's fault, then whose is it?
They went the direction of pleasing the LN readers to the point of deterring the anime-only viewers. We'll see whether or not it was the right decision at the end, based on viewership and blu-ray sales.

The irony is that you’re the only one triggered here based on your incessant whining about people enjoying the episode for the last 7 hours. I was at a PhD graduation when you were sending the original messages and you’re STILL going. I can’t imagine caring this much to continue harassing people, but it’s cool, reported. The weak ban should help you sort it out.

EDIT: highly suggest not interacting with Steve Jawbs. He’s a brand new account, no anime added to his list clearly just here to troll. Report and move on

The studio outsourced the episodes, so it's not their fault that they're not that great.

Production Cooperation:
Ashi Productions (eps 50, 54)
Cosmo Project (eps 52-53)
Studio Peacock (ep 51)

I would like to remind everyone that there are 24 episodes this season.

Which means that 6 episodes, 1/4 or 25%, were used for a mix of recap, updates, investigation, and preparations.

Last season ended with a war, this season showed the aftermath, and what will be coming next.

This all established a foundation for the major events that will be occurring.

Now that the stage has been set, I hope that these next episodes will be showing some much needed action sequences on multiple battle fields.

I’m excited for these next 3/4 or 75% of the story to unfold.

Having slow episodes that primarily exist to provide exposition is fine but having three in a row like this is kind of overkill. Hell, I'd take a filler episode somewhere in the middle to break things up instead of three weeks straight of nothing but setup. At least it looks like the next episode will be outside of the various meeting rooms we've spent the last 1/4 cour becoming acquainted with...

I usually scoff at people complaining about episodes being too dialogue-heavy but this episode was actually insufferable in that regard... I love exposition and lots of lore, but right now even my patience is wearing thin.

Imagine not knowing anything about 6,000 years of human history … how embarrassing

And you changed what I said, so you lied.

The memes about this season being meeting after meeting are funny, but if we're being serious, Tensura is less like a battle shonen and more like a story about building a nation with fights here and there. If you don't enjoy that I guess this isn't for you ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. This season has been really good to me so far.

The world building is good with this one, we learned that the Rozzo family seems to be pulling all the strings all along but despite their cunningness, these scheming humans underestimate Rimuru too much due Rimuru's good control of information.

I see that most of the typical shonen watchers and normies are complaining too much with the 6 episodes of meeting after meeting because they don't quite understand what's going on considering how they're mostly amused with hype culture and fight scenes, they like watching easy to understand animes rather than complex ones, i see the same thing in Mushoku Tensei, these avid shonen watchers who only likes action are complaining about Rudeus not going to adventures anymore lol

Actually yeah, in history, a lot of major trade was discussed over tea, coffee, a meal, or at a meeting, before the actual act of trading was done.

That has even been shown in many anime too.

Have you been living under a rock all your life?

6 episodes of meetings from three different groups. and rimuru himself gets less and less screentime, we havent seen his human form in a few episodes.
there is also quite a few people on rimurus side who even rimuru doesnt know about... gobwa even has a name, who named her? i do like how she looks. her name suggest that she is a goblin but the skin color and the horns suggest that she is an ogre or higher

edit: yeah so she is one of the goblins that got evolved into an ogre when rimuru became a demon lord. so no need to quote this anymore telling that :D

Sure, now that they know Hinata and her group is coming, we’d need another “meeting” to go over the strategies to employ right? I mean lol, this is not even funny at this point. Rimuru is invincible, so be it the schemings of seven luminaries or any shady looking group, he and his country level army won’t have any problem anyway. So it was just for the sake of briefing us about the hierarchy, that they had to bring that undead looking guy back into the picture, sigh.

By the way, you can trust Diablo to do the most cruel things to the person who killed Reyhiem. That guy is built differently, and has absolutely no qualms over squashing people like bugs. But since we’re forever stuck in the “build-up” phase, trust this series to not show any such thing for a good time. Anyways, backroom schemings and all do look cool, it really does, but when it becomes an everyday occurrence, it looks like the most boring thing out there. This series been suffering from that, this season particularly, and it’s honestly tiring now.

Heyyy, finally, something hype to come out of this season: the return of the boy Adalmann!

A fabricated rumor alleging that "Archbishop Reyhiem was slain in a demon's plot" has circulated, prompting Temple Knights worldwide to assemble in the Kingdom of Falmuth, totaling around thirty thousand, surpassing both Youm's troops and reinforcements from Rimuru.

Meanwhile, as the capture of Falmouth becomes uncertain, Diablo seethes with anger, eager to redeem himself. As all this is going on, Rimuru learns that the Crusaders have allied with Hinata, who is en route to Tempest.

Slowly but surely, the big event is finally coming.

How much we need to wait for hearing Diablo laugh (like a lunatic in sky)??

Please for the gods sake no more yapping.

@stevejawbs I understand the frustration, but they just ended a major war last season, showing the aftermath, how this affects the rest of world, how they respond, that’s how things work in history, it isn’t just constant fighting all the time.

@Jorovie I love the pace in Mushoku Tensei but the Slime pace does bother me. Its not like I really desire Slime's action since the action in Slime hasn't been a big highlight of the series normally, but I do feel like the execution of meetings with no animation, not much interesting direction to it and listing stuff happening like a checklist without changing the setting can feel very stale. At least in MT, character arcs clearly developed in this cour alone, and the episodes themselves had different things happen in them in different settings that kept it engaging without feeling repetitive. And with the lore added in between, it feels like real progress is going to kick into overdrive soon while simultaneously developing bonds with different characters, and giving a lot of depth to others in the span of a few episodes in varied scenes and settings. Some might want pure action since it looked amazing and the adventure element is strong but the character writing still makes the slower stuff come across really well

Some episodes there are more character-drama focused, some more slice of life focused, some more romance focused in these slower ep. In Slime, episodes feel more redundant and the lack of real stakes in these meetings due to how OP Rimuru and company are despite the tons of meetings makes them feel less impactful. The music being weak, the visuals not looking intense or selling any real tension that Rimuru and Jura can genuinely suffer if things go wrong does make it feel one-dimensional and more boring in the process. Dont think its a lack of action, but just a lack of variety in how the episodes present themselves, making it boring as result. World building needs more show, and less tell whereas here, everything is just spoken through meetings so no subtlety there too. MT, Made in Abyss, etc and their world building knew when to have exposition, and when to showcase their world and let viewers connect dots which this lacks
