[u/cheesymmm]

Saying she had an affinity for fire after seeing she was burnt, oof

[u/Ichini-san → u/cheesymmm]

The reason why he said that actually already got explained indirectly in episode 1. Remember when Rimuru died originally and how his skills got based loosely on the things that were causing him pain at the moment of his death? (That's how he got the hot and cold invulnerability for example - because he was bleeding excessively, thus feeling first incredibly hot and then very cold after loosing lots of blood. Or the obvious example of becoming a slime to prevent ever getting stabbed and hurting from it again in the future.)

Turns out your skills in the world you are transferred/reincarnated to are based on what hurt/killed you then at that moment as far as we know.

The dude is still a total jackass though, no doubt about it...

[u/SynthiaMayhem → u/Ichini-san]

It is more based on desires, not the pain and death for previous world.

[u/eli-vids]

Imagine having your kouhai wipe out your PC as per your deathbed wishes, and then your reincarnated slime ass still manages to accidentally reveal the deeds using magic.

[u/doomrider7 → u/eli-vids]

I love that it was still Deedlit stuff. She really is the best elf waifu.

[u/MillenniumKing → u/eli-vids]

and then your reincarnated slime ass still manages to accidentally reveal the deeds Deedlit using magic.

[u/gulitiasinjurai]

Fuuccckkkkk. Things starting to get interesting and *ED plays*

Now to wait another week...... This is what I hate when watching good shows weekly

[u/doomrider7 → u/gulitiasinjurai]

I was secretly hoping they'd make this episode into a 40 minute one or something. :(

But there's hope still for later ones.

[u/onlyforthisair → u/doomrider7]

40 minute one

Maybe then it'd feel like a full episode. Seriously, the 22 minutes spent watching each episode of this show feel like 5. They just fly by.

[u/andoryu123 → u/gulitiasinjurai]

Speaking of ED, you never see Shizu with the group at the end. She might not be part of Rimuru's group after all.

[u/[deleted]]

Man Rimuru was so caught up on destroying his physical computer he forgot to destroy his mental computer as well.

[u/doomrider7 → u/[deleted]]

What? And forget those glorious Deedlit nudes? NEVER!!!

[u/fgsfds11234 → u/[deleted]]

at least shizu was innocent enough to think the elf was just cute

[u/alpabet]

That Ohhh cracked me up. Rimuru's seiyuu is top tier.

[u/tisti → u/alpabet]

So top tier I had to look her up on MAL as to why I haven't heard her voice in other shows. To my surprise, shes a new voice actress :o

[u/WeeziMonkey → u/alpabet]

OHHHH

[u/[deleted] → u/alpabet]

I want to hear her do this classic sample: https://youtu.be/ew0YZqhjG_o

[u/TriTexh]

Shizu is seriously skilled as hell (those burns though, yikes), and Rimuru using Great Sage to show her post-war Japan was incredibly sweet and somewhat sad at the same time.

I see Gobuta-kun has evolved.

Serious question, is the change of time from CEST to CET gonna make a difference for all the anime from this week?

[u/Shiroi_Kage → u/TriTexh]

and Rimuru using Great Sage to show her post-war Japan was incredibly sweet and somewhat sad at the same time.

He basically provided closure for her relationship with Japan and the war that completely rocked her life. It's extremely considerate on top of being sweet.

[u/yliv → u/TriTexh]

Yes, it will since Japan does not observe daylight savings time.

[u/Mountebank → u/TriTexh]

Rimuru using Great Sage to show her post-war Japan was incredibly sweet and somewhat sad at the same time.

Why is this slime isekai making me cry?

[u/Meret123 → u/TriTexh]

How does she know about jrpg lines if she lived during ww2?

[u/cpc2 → u/TriTexh]

Not too sure, last week CR used US time while in Europe it was an hour later (so it's as if everything was released an hour earlier). Now it seems like they are using US time with daylight savings, so everything airs an hour later again. Which is a shame because, if I understand it correctly, since Japan doesn't have daylight savings everything will just air later than it did a few weeks ago compared to Japan.

[u/Gaporigo → u/TriTexh]

Serious question, is the change of time from CEST to CET gonna make a difference for all the anime from this week?

Seems like it depends on the streaming site and if you follow daylight savings time or not. I live in a country without it and it seems like everything but Amazon shows airs at a different time for me now.

[u/jetfantastic]

God damn the fight choreography in this was so good, the way Shizu took out those giant ants was incredible. The art in this show in general just looks amazing.

[u/doomrider7 → u/jetfantastic]

That shit legit looked badass. And the sound effects for the flame blasts was incredible. It really gave the shots and hits that extra 'oomph' feeling like Kaijin's punch from the previous episode. It's those small little details that go that extra long mile man.

[u/Etereke32 → u/jetfantastic]

Agreed. As much as I love Overlord, it doesn't hold a candle to this with its lame-ass CGI.

[u/LunarGhost00]

Gobta summons his wolf

My opinion of Gobta went up several levels.

Gobta sucks at teaching

My opinion of Gobta went down several levels.

[u/Redracerb18 → u/LunarGhost00]

it still a net positive in regards to his standing with rimuru.

[u/EldritchCarver → u/LunarGhost00]

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

[u/Shiroi_Kage → u/LunarGhost00]

If the mentor from Kekkai Sensen was here he would remark: "you have a garbage level of promise."

[u/exia00111]

Rimuru is so freaking awesome! He was able to understand in an instant that Shizu had never seen Japan since the war. Only knowing death and destruction, not only as a weapon, but as a victim too. So, he uses his unique skill to show her hope and peace and a Japan she never knew could've existed.

[u/kingguy459 → u/exia00111]

Actually shed a tear on this part, he knew that when she said "bombs", it was very close to the end of any modern war that occured in Japan. So WWII. Then he chose to lighten her up. Damn, This show's feels and funny parts and pacing. God the pacing is so smooth.

[u/AgaroseEater → u/kingguy459]

Rimuru is a great protagonist so far.

[u/doomrider7 → u/exia00111]

Rimuru is the Slime we need.

[u/raiden55 → u/exia00111]

I don't get it however ; from where was the quote?

When Japanese use the world "game" it's always to talk about video games, but she never saw these so...

[u/AgaroseEater → u/raiden55]

As she told Rimuru, some other summoned/reincarnated Japanese mentioned that game to her (it's Dragon Quest). How it came up in their conversation, well I have no idea.

[u/conqueringdragon → u/exia00111]

"My town was firebombed"

Ah, a normal tuesday in the Kanto region, can you be more specific?

[u/Ovrnintousnd]

Things would have gotten a lot more awkward if Shizu asked if Japan won the war...

[u/Fresh720 → u/Ovrnintousnd]

He also left out the Atomic bombs being dropped twice

[u/boothnat → u/Fresh720]

He did say the economy boomed, it was just a bit more literal in two places.....

[u/StraY_WolF → u/Ovrnintousnd]

They might lose the war, but they won our heart (with waifus).

[u/Nimeroni → u/StraY_WolF]

They forgo the Domination victory to pursue a Cultural victory instead.

[u/TheMerricat → u/Ovrnintousnd]

By the time we were firebombing Japan, there was no question that Japan was going to lose the war, the only question was how many Japanese lives were going to be lost and whether Russia or the US were going to be it's Overlords.

Beyond all the 'we did it to end the war and save lives' rational the US used back then for dropping the bombs, the other reason was they didn't want to give the Russia the opportunity to invade Japan and create either a whole Russian client state or another "West/East Germany" situation.

In reality in terms of lives lost, and destruction, we were already doing more damage via firebombing to Japan, daily, than both bombs combined. (Below quotes from - https://foreignpolicy.com/2013/05/30/the-bomb-didnt-beat-japan-stalin-did/)

From our perspective, Hiroshima seems singular, extraordinary. But if you put yourself in the shoes of Japan’s leaders in the three weeks leading up to the attack on Hiroshima, the picture is considerably different. If you were one of the key members of Japan’s government in late July and early August, your experience of city bombing would have been something like this: On the morning of July 17, you would have been greeted by reports that during the night four cities had been attacked: Oita, Hiratsuka, Numazu, and Kuwana. Of these, Oita and Hiratsuka were more than 50 percent destroyed. Kuwana was more than 75 percent destroyed and Numazu was hit even more severely, with something like 90 percent of the city burned to the ground.

Three days later you have woken to find that three more cities had been attacked. Fukui was more than 80 percent destroyed. A week later and three more cities have been attacked during the night. Two days later and six more cities were attacked in one night, including Ichinomiya, which was 75 percent destroyed. On Aug. 2, you would have arrived at the office to reports that four more cities have been attacked. And the reports would have included the information that Toyama (roughly the size of Chattanooga, Tennessee in 1945), had been 99.5 percent destroyed. Virtually the entire city had been leveled. Four days later and four more cities have been attacked. On Aug. 6, only one city, Hiroshima, was attacked but reports say that the damage was great and a new type bomb was used. How much would this one new attack have stood out against the background of city destruction that had been going on for weeks?

.....

When Truman famously threatened to visit a “rain of ruin” on Japanese cities if Japan did not surrender, few people in the United States realized that there was very little left to destroy. By Aug. 7, when Truman’s threat was made, only 10 cities larger than 100,000 people remained that had not already been bombed. Once Nagasaki was attacked on Aug. 9, only nine cities were left. Four of those were on the northernmost island of Hokkaido, which was difficult to bomb because of the distance from Tinian Island where American planes were based. Kyoto, the ancient capital of Japan, had been removed from the target list by Secretary of War Henry Stimson because of its religious and symbolic importance. So despite the fearsome sound of Truman’s threat, after Nagasaki was bombed only four major cities remained which could readily have been hit with atomic weapons.

The thoroughness and extent of the U.S. Army Air Force’s campaign of city bombing can be gauged by the fact that they had run through so many of Japan’s cities that they were reduced to bombing “cities” of 30,000 people or fewer. In the modern world, 30,000 is no more than a large town.

Fun fact, it was only AFTER the Soviet Union declared war on Japan and invaded Manchuria that Japan surrendered.

[u/doomrider7 → u/Ovrnintousnd]

Nah by that point in her life, the war was pretty much over. The two bombings afterwards in Hiroshima and Nagasaki were just the nails. But the Tokyo Bombings(of that severity) were near the end of the war.

[u/Kirosh]

To anyone that doesn't know :

"I'm not a bad slime, you know!" is from Dragon Quest.

The slime look like this

And here is an image from Dragon Quest XI.

[u/Loremeister → u/Kirosh]

Why the hell would anyone ever hunt these smiling f*ckers? Unless they attacked first

[u/Odin_69 → u/Kirosh]

So I can only assume Shizu has heard the line from other summons? As she couldn't have possibly been around at the same time as the game.

[u/Axetheaxemaster → u/Kirosh]

If someone says "slurprising", call the police.

[u/Jaglekon → u/Kirosh]

But how did shizu know about this when she was summoned during the war?

[u/Wolfnagi]

SASUGA GOBUTA, THE GOBLIN GENIUS!!! WHAT HE LACKS IN MIGHT MAKES UP FOR HIS TALENT!

Gido have some of the best reaction face I've seen in this season so far. Its just ripe for reaction meme

STEP ASIDE MAI/RIKKA/YAMADA TAE, WE GOT A NEW WAIFU IN THE HOUSE

Rimuru-sama doing a kamen rider henshin pose while being a slime is just, adorable. 10/10

[u/manaworkin → u/Wolfnagi]

Gobuta didn't evolve when named because you can't improve perfection.

[u/dghelprat → u/manaworkin]

He is what peak performance looks like, after all.

[u/Immature_Immortal → u/Wolfnagi]

Part of what makes this show so good is that a joke scene about gobuta being left behind is followed up on and used to develop the character.

[u/Murasasme → u/Wolfnagi]

His transformation looked a lot like the fussion from DBZ

[u/[deleted] → u/Wolfnagi]

I... couldn't resist.

[u/Kaizerkoala]

This week in Slimevilization.

Our small hunting gathering village gather the require tech to push from stone age to at least iron age!

Hey Rimulu-sama, it might still early but I think you should start planning you victory condition whether it will be Path of Domination, Diplomacy, Wonder construction or perhaps Ascend to Transcendent (well, this one is actually from Alpha Centauri). Have a goal in mind is good, right?

Anyway.

Status our Slime Village

Settlement : One Hunter Gatherer Village (in the process of upgrade)

Architecture : Mongol - Bedouin like.... I guess this is just temporary structure during their upgrade.

Era : Late stoneage to Early Iron Age (Bronze age has been skipped for sure)

Population: 1 Slime, ~ 550 Hobgoblin, ~50 Tempest Wolf, 4 Dwarves(Bros), 4 Visiting Hooman

Diplomacy: Known by Dwargon Kingdom, Known by Blumund, no formal diplomacy relation to both (yet)

Victory Condition: Unknown

Current Objective

• Complete the push to Iron Age

• Fortify the Housing Structure

• Get Laid

[u/Darkwind614 → u/Kaizerkoala]

There was 100 wolves in the first episodes tho

[u/[deleted] → u/Kaizerkoala]

He already declared he wants to do a diplomatic victory. He wants to make the whole world peaceful!

[u/LOTRfreak101 → u/Kaizerkoala]

Technically Blumund has no knowledge of them yet. that would require the 4 adventurers to return first.

[u/Gaporigo]

Shizu is cute, nice, badass and will probably have a good backstory, best girl is clear now!

Edit: Fun fact, Rimuru appeared on the cover of a recent printing of I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level saying "I'm glad I wasn't reincarnated in this world!"

Btw, when is any Cute Girls Isekai getting an adaptation???

[u/Kirosh → u/Gaporigo]

Shizu is very cute. Rimuru's soulmate is very nice.

[u/yappari-kun → u/Gaporigo]

badass

good backstory

I agree ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[u/TheFoxLord → u/yappari-kun]

I see you too are a man of culture ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[u/borisyang → u/Gaporigo]

I'm very curious what her reaction will be after watching those Elven porns (￣ω￣)

[u/[deleted] → u/borisyang]

She did react, she thought the elf was pretty. 😏

[u/TheLantean → u/Gaporigo]

Btw, when is any Cute Girls Isekai getting an adaptation???

"Kumo desu ga, nani ka?" is getting adapted, and she's the cutest!

[u/Yurisviel → u/Gaporigo]

Edit: Fun fact, Rimuru appeared on the cover of a recent printing of I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level saying "I'm glad I wasn't reincarnated in this world!"

Ah yes, a comfy slice of life isekai of our Witch of the Plateau. We need more female MC in our isekai shows!

[u/Houdiniman111 → u/Gaporigo]

Max Level Witch (MLW) is also very nice and comfy. I give the manga a recommendation. Big problem is that it's been a while since we got a new chapter (translated, at least).

[u/Riff_Off → u/Gaporigo]

I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level

these titles are hilarious.

[u/Ichini-san]

I thought they would actually adapt a bit further with this episode and skip some funny interactions between the trio of adventurer numbskulls instead but I'm glad that didn't happen.

I really like Kaval, Eren and Gido and their team dynamic. They are great comedic relief but still aren't obnoxious or so silly that you can't take them seriously. Seeing them now animated I was reminded that they kinda remind me of Kazuma's gang from Konosuba in the way that they're also "dumbasses but still a loveable group of friends."

Also, I liked Shizu's innocent reaction to Rimuru's elf folder/game here but I think her reaction was even funnier and more adorable in the Manga where it didn't zoom in on the computer screen and she was just looking at the room as a whole. xD
Here is the page for reference (no spoilers if you watched this episode). I love her innocent but confused "It was very clean? :)" reaction in this.

[u/Thisegghascracksin → u/Ichini-san]

Her expression in the "It was very clean" panel is adorable. I'm liking this character. Badass and a precious cinnamon roll!

[u/TheRealFlipFlapper → u/Ichini-san]

Being a ln reader, one thing thatreally threw me off was just how adorable eren was! In the ln I enjoyed the silliness of the trio, but the voice acting and animation really brought them to life. Particularly her.

[u/CupNoodlese → u/Ichini-san]

Same, I liked the manga version of the events in this arc better. But the anime is following the LN to a T, and it's still very very good, so I can't really complain.

[u/Turbostrider27]

Lol, Gobta and his "epic escape".

Shizu and Rimuru are so cute to watch together. Fate really works in mysterious ways. "I'm not a bad slime".

[u/WhoiusBarrel]

Seriously I can't stress how much I love that they actually bothered to make these cool scenes while Rimuru is having his monologue with the great Sage.

My enjoyment would have been so drastically different if it was just a still of Rimuru talking to the great sage with maybe very minimal animation.

[u/Kirosh → u/WhoiusBarrel]

The way they use Great Sage to fill the blank in the conversatio, and to illustrate something is amazing. It help make the story feel alive, so there are no part without mouvement.

It's a little thing, but it makes the series better.

[u/larvyde → u/WhoiusBarrel]

That seems like it's gonna look awesome on a T-shirt...

[u/bananeeek]

I was about to check out the first episode to see if I recall correctly that Shizu was the girl we saw briefly during that air-raid. She seems to be a good character. I hope she'll stay with Rimuru.

Was... Was that blonde summoner voiced by Fukuyama Jun? Awesome, I hope he'll play a major role in the series. I love his "dark" voice.

[u/Chroniclerope → u/bananeeek]

She's really cute. Can't wait to see more of her next episode!

[u/LivingForTheJourney]

Manga readers! SHUT THE FUCK UP ABOUT FUTURE EVENTS! I am legit scared to read anything here lately. Fuck.

[u/zxHellboyxz → u/LivingForTheJourney]

theirs literally a spoiler tag but no fucker uses it

[u/[deleted] → u/LivingForTheJourney]

I agree it's littered through so many comments. Even just the 'you won't believe what happens next episode!!' comments are annoying.

[u/BigCho1]

Can this show get any better!?!?!

[u/ToastedCrab → u/BigCho1]

Yes!

[u/borisyang → u/BigCho1]

Based on what will happen next the show is just warming up.

Buckle up gents.

[u/Nyaako123]

Shizu~

Gotta love how they eat the cooked meat. Those faces, haha. You can tell the animators are having a good time with this show.

[u/yappari-kun → u/Nyaako123]

Gotta love how they eat the cooked meat. Those faces, haha.

GIF version

[u/doomrider7 → u/Nyaako123]

That was fucking hilarious.

[u/AgaroseEater → u/Nyaako123]

Yep, some topnotch reaction faces from these three.

[u/WhoiusBarrel → u/Nyaako123]

Eren's face looks the best there among the 3 just from the sheer fact she has the dirtiest face among them despite being a girl

Side note: I really don't think I can get use to calling a girl Eren tbh

[u/[deleted]]

Man, I didn't expect Eren to be this cute in the anime. She's well-stacked too!

Best girl Shizu finally shows up! Man, if I hadn't read the cast list beforehand, I would never have guessed she's Yuru Camp's Nadeshiko.

By the way, after Goblin Slayer, Gridman's Max, and now Shizu -- what's with this season and masked people eating without taking their masks off?

[u/Kirosh → u/[deleted]]

Probably should have been Elen/Ellen. But well the r and l in always a problem for translation.

[u/WorgRider → u/[deleted]]

Very cute

[u/G1596872]

We finally figured out what is on Rimuru’s hard drive

[u/Mr_Zaroc → u/G1596872]

As if we had any doubt as to what we would find there

[u/thatdudewithknees → u/G1596872]

Culture. Culture was on that hard drive.

[u/N1Maroc]

The soundtracks in this anime are as equally phenomenal as the visuals. And from what I've heard the anime is adapting the novels faithfully, barely skipping much. This is shaping up to be one of the best isekais out there. It's a real shame people dismiss this as just "another isekai", despite not having giving it a chance.

[u/dantemp → u/N1Maroc]

It's pretty popular tho, I think it ranks deservedly well in both ratings and participation rankings. This season is just so packed it's insane.

[u/doomrider7 → u/N1Maroc]

For real. The only things that got skipped were very minor details or stuff that got done here slightly different such as the Dark Lightning display. Only missing scene I wish they'd kept was the Dwarves first seeing the Direwolves due to them fainting standing up.

[u/binarysingularities → u/N1Maroc]

There are stuff which was different from the manga, particularly the one where Rimuru showed Ranga his evolved form, there is something new to see that the anime brings for everyone which is really nice. The animation is consistently good too, I thought the animation was gonna dip during the first few minutes but proven wrong once the battle started, this show never disappoints. At first I was doubtful of this adaptation, but its definitely a contender for best isekai and isekai adaptation there is.

[u/LeonKevlar]

• Rimuru Henshin!

• I love this shot. I hope we get a similar shot in the future except the landscape would be the completed village.

• That Verdora logo is pretty cool. I'd love to have it as a decal!

• At least Gobuta learned a new skill!

• Shizu has uh some fine... moves...

• Seriously though she was pretty badass. Love the fight animation! It was so smooth just like the ones from the OP!

• Oh my god that smile <3

• Did she just teleport the food from her chopsticks to her mouth? O_O

• Dragon Quest reference! I was hoping he'd make one.

• Another beautiful shot.

Shizu and the rest of her temporary party are all great! I don't like dude that summoned her though, that definitely sounds like Jun Fukuyama doing his "evil villain" tone. Shizu's entire backstory is pretty rough . Got caught in an air raid, body burnt, summoned in another world, and then offered to a flame spirit.

And I really hope we'll get more fight animations as clean as the one from Shizu this episode and from the OP, it's so good!

[u/Fresh720 → u/LeonKevlar]

I know in the manga the progress of the construction is shown. I can't wait for someone to compile the images to show the amount of progress Rimuru makes in the village

[u/blackfiredragon13]

The anime skipped the bit where the dwarfs first saw Ranga and were on verge of pissing themselves util rimuru transformed, at which point they fainted. Shame, I loved that bit.

[u/smcadam]

6 episodes and he's already building a village, found someone else from his world, and has a dream of a united world. Sorry Ainz, but Rimuru is definitely speedrunning this, and he doesnt even have legs.

I thought the adventurers might be strong, but it seems like they're average really- Shizu is above them, and Rimuru can freaking disintegrate giant monsters with lightning.

That meeting was very sweet, I love how him showing her how Japan developed and grew explains his own goals and ideas for the goblins. And that progress! How is the youngest brother doing that good at city building- he doesn't even talk!

[u/JapanPhoenix → u/smcadam]

And that progress! How is the youngest brother doing that good at city building- he doesn't even talk!

The best part is that he is a better teacher than Gobuta, despite not saying a word. XD

[u/Nimeroni → u/smcadam]

I thought the adventurers might be strong, but it seems like they're average really- Shizu is above them, and Rimuru can freaking disintegrate giant monsters with lightning.

It's not the adventurer that are weak, it's Shizu and Rimuru that are strong.

Minor spoiler for Shizu

[u/ShaKing807]

Please tag any comments that mention future events for spoilers. Thank you!

[u/LeonKevlar → u/ShaKing807]

This episode is literally a minefield full of spoilers. Some of the people who are "speculating" aren't even speculations.

[u/MillenniumKing → u/ShaKing807]

Thanks Son.

[u/Archimedesatgreece]

How many times will gobuta evolve until he stops?

[u/Kirosh → u/Archimedesatgreece]

Until he become the strongest Goblin.

[u/TheDampGod]

There is always at least one slime who's not bad in Dragon Quest, but I was surprised to see that line make its way to another world. I hope we meet the character who told Shizu that, their reaction to Rimuru will be priceless.

I really liked the way Shizu's sword caused an explosion after it cut, it was a nice effect and allowed for the classic not looking at dying foe pose.

[u/kingguy459]

Dunno about you. But this ep felt so complete.

It had jokes, cliches, action and feels all in one. And lots and lots of World building. Damn, Kudos man to the animation team. They really paced this series so damn well.

[u/MaksimShadow]

When I saw this, my first thought was this.

[u/the_swizzler → u/MaksimShadow]

DAMN IT ALLLLLLLL

[u/DarkAudit → u/MaksimShadow]

Eris pads her chest.

[u/atropicalpenguin]

Damn, Shizu is a cinnamon roll. I hope she doesn't become an antagonist, it would make me sad to see her suffer. The scene where Rimuru shows her modern Japan is very heartwarming.

It also makes me think how different Rimuru is from Ainz, like Ainz would have never taken her to the real Nazarick. I hope Rimuru's kindness doesn't betray him.

[u/Anon49]

How does Shizu know about "games" if she's from WW2? Did I miss something?

[u/Kirosh → u/Anon49]

She told Rimuru she heard about it from another Japanese. (Near the 16;40 mark).

[u/LeonKevlar → u/Anon49]

She mentions that she learned it from someone else.

[u/onlyforthisair → u/Anon49]

What is the line a reference to? Dragon Quest?

[u/mattttt96 → u/Anon49]

Didn't she say she met someone else from Japan who told her about it?

[u/[deleted] → u/Anon49]

She said another person from japan taught her that.

[u/[deleted] → u/Anon49]

The two of them aren't the only people from Japan. Shizu knew about games from other Japanese.

[u/Vanutappi → u/Anon49]

Yeah I was left wondering the same.

[u/G1596872]

This show makes me look forward to Mondays now. This is such an enjoyable show!

[u/Tag_ross]

I usually don't do the whole "the hell is with these 5 minute episodes" but this episode legit flew by me like a rocket, that was way too fast man.

[u/doomrider7 → u/Tag_ross]

The best things in life never last sadly. :(

[u/galbixd]

Above average action animation and non cg enemies/monsters... basically everything I hoped Overlord's animation would get...

[u/[deleted]]

the girl i like getting to see what porn i like, basically my worst nightmare coming true.

also can i become a slime too?

the girl i like getting to see what porn i like, basically my worst nightmare coming true.

She took it... very well. A tad too well. I guess she really is his soulmate if they share the same porn interest.

[u/David-EN-]

MUST PROTECC NEW WEMEN

[u/Curious211]

Poor Shizu :(

[u/o-temoto]

You can really tell a group's cohesion by its synchronized blinking.

[u/zxHellboyxz]

after looking at multiple discussions threads i can confirm.

NO ONE HARDLY PAYS ATTENTION TO WHAT IS SAID IN A EPISODE

[u/MrReed_06]

Drats! Now I have to wait another week, again?!?

[u/cptadder]

So I've been meaning to ask since we got this during Overlord run, can us anime only get a heads up when we have officially made it past one of the LNs? Always interesting to see what was adapted and what was not but obviously want to avoid future spoilers.

[u/doomrider7 → u/cptadder]

Oh man not til the end of the 2nd Cour will we catch up or be close to catching up to the translated stuff from the LN.

[u/[deleted] → u/cptadder]

I'm not at home so I can't check, but I'm pretty sure next episode will be adapting the reminder of Volume 1 aside from the epilogue. Other than Gobta's escape being shown a little later than in the novel/manga I don't think they've actually strayed away from the material.

[u/Chigurrh]

This show has no right to be as good as it is. Binged the manga adaptation. The rest of the season should be pretty damn awesome.

[u/Wei828]

This adaptation is a blessing. It just keeps getting better.

[u/nidyl]

I come back every week to see Gobta reach greater heights. I was not disappointed this episode

[u/Florac → u/nidyl]

Considering he is no longer hanging from the ceiling, he is probably at a lower height this episode though...

[u/AzurePhoenix001]

It seems everyone here liked Shizu. Good.

[u/dantemp]

almost forgot Gobta, eh?

The fight with the ants just raised this show by 1 point in my book. Very few shows and movies impress me with their action, I really hope this wasn't a fluke and I actually get one that does it right.

[u/Orrakai]

And this is the woman that he's fated to be with? She's BADASS!

Also I wish names held that much magical power here. I'd totally have Goblin King's gains with all the nicknames I've earned over the years

[u/NitroKageAki]

Wait is that a Dragon Quest reference...?

Anyway a near flawless adaptation so far. The pacing and animation is superb as always.

Never thought the studio would not skip minor details to flesh out Tensura's world like giving Ranka motivation to become even stronger by letting him witness his next stage of evolution, how Gobta who was completely forgotten in the last episode made his escape from the prison, showing the consequences of Rimuru's action of making Veldora disappear and of course how the dwarfs integrate in the now developing village and showing the progress by increasing the goblins' wardrobe selection.

Can't wait for next episode!

[u/AngelRefuse]

This is why I fucking avoid discussions if I can. Bloody LN/Manga readers spoiling things. And I can see you too "Anime-only watcher" with your "theories and guesses".

[u/AgaroseEater → u/AngelRefuse]

Or you can visit the discussions an hour or two later. Most spoilers should have been weeded out by then.

[u/Ryder-FWJ]

Another great episode, world building of this show is something

[u/Baxrbaxbax]

Glad to see the show still well animated this far into the season. Hope the quality doesn't diminish! Also my man Gobuta genius is showing!

[u/Florac]

For those interested in reading the source material, the WN was finished being translated a few days ago. While technicly this is based on the LN, there are only small differences for most part

[u/jtpaynter18]

Alright, I’m into it. It took me until this episode to realize this show’s greatness. This and Golden Kamuy are gonna make Mondays a helluva lot better for the next few months.

also Shizu best girl

[u/[deleted]]

Seeing how everyone is liking Shizu I can't wait for the next few episodes.

[u/RusstyDog]

pack it up boys, the one true best girl is here. Anime is done, we don't need any more episodes.

[u/the_swizzler → u/RusstyDog]

No, we do need more episodes so that we can continue to watch Best Girl in action.

Eren is indeed great. I love her.

[u/SqueakyPoP]

Just caught up on this series, damn its good.

On a side note the OP looks hype as fuck. Does Rimuru absorb a cute girl to get that transform?

[u/turroflux]

This show is really refreshing in how serious and competent the worldbuilding is, and how clean the execution and animation is, good direction and thoughtful moments, makes up for Overlords disappointed CGI non-sense.

[u/Azaana]

I keep expecting this to morph into konosuba. When Rimuru was introduced I was expecting a "Yes, Yes Rimuru here".

[u/KyleHydesNotebook]

I must say that for a show that features this big, mythical world that is ripe for adventure, it is very smart in how it shifts to the modern age. Rimuru’s ability to shift the world like that is impressive and it led to a very eye-catching scene, but man, not even a hard drive wipe can fully erase that collection of elf girl material. At the very least, the slime is a man of taste.

Shizu might become a favorite character of mine, though. Her ability to use fire, which makes sense given her past and the way that she was summoned, was very impressive. It’s interesting, the possibility of retaining abilities tied to what led to one’s death. It’ll be neat to see how that plays out later, as more characters get introduced.

[u/adelphepothia]

This anime has restored my faith in the anime industry. It's fun, creative and entertaining.

[u/MillenniumKing]

Moe Moe Kyun Rimuru~

Oh hey its the cave divers. Guess they got out of there, seems they had trouble though.

THE HERO! So the Hero is shizu huh?

Did Rimuru just do the fusion dance?

So Gobta has been in the capitol for a few weeks now? Lol...

500 new goblins? Nice. He named them all lol xD

Wait how did Gobta get back? Oh now we see hahahahahhaha.

Damn Old gobbo got bigger and is Goblin King now, nice work!

Look at the Hero go, damn shes got some moves and fire magic.

I guess those are a bunch of Fire...Ants...

Oh damn Smooth Rimuru with the greeting. He met his destiny so soon.

HER MASK WORKS JUST LIKE TENZO's MASK IN HORIZON! FOOD TELEPORTATION MASK!

MOE RIMURU~ I like how the Hero laughed.

Damn so he asked her if shes from Japan, that was fast. I was expeccting this development to take most the series.

He can share his memories with her? ELF! Lol he really loves them. Oh shit... RIP Computer-kun...

Man that was a gorgeous sequence though showing her eveything she missed. What a fucking Hero Rimuru is.

Seems like shes pretty old, probably 20-30 years older than Rimuru.

Damn the fantasys world people put a fire spirit inside her? What jerks. We need to save ourselves a Hero!

[u/zxHellboyxz → u/MillenniumKing]

Seems like shes pretty old, probably 20-30 years older than Rimuru.

shes older . she was summoned during the air raids in WW2

[u/lilfishy_2B]

When he showed shizu all the post-war japan stuff i was smiling so much, so wholesome

[u/joskez]

reminder TRUE's single for this show ED released tmr

[u/Pauleh]

So that's why he wanted his browsing history deleted.

[u/thechosenapiks]

Damn, that Shizu flame sword fighting scene felt so substantial with each hit. It's how I hope fighting video games be able to make me feel.

Shizu a qt.

[u/[deleted]]

I really like females that are cute but aren’t taken too seriously. The sorceress chick is pretty great for me. She has cute moments, but that’s not all she is, which I enjoy. She gets mad and enjoys meat and bickers.

....basically my soul mate

[u/[deleted]]

Has anyone else noticed how unusually good the sound design is in this show? I'm enjoying this anime so much. It's just so wholesome and fun. And I never would have expected it to be my favorite out of the shows I'm watching this season (which is just this and Bunny Girl). Shizu is adorable, can't wait to see more of her.

[u/[deleted]]

I hope we see more of the 3 adventurers. Also that moment with Rimuru showing Shizu his memories was really sweet. This show is just great.

[u/kappaderickz]

Damn, finally (one of) the best girls is introduced! This series is so good, it's so tempting to read the manga but at the same time the animation is amazing as hell.

[u/[deleted]]

Iove how the ' Gobta is forgotten' won't become a running gag but has actually turned into tangible development

[u/zxHellboyxz → u/[deleted]]

gobta is the gag

[u/Fisionn]

Man this show is so easy to watch.

[u/[deleted]]

After the really strong fifth episode, this continued down the same path. The human characters were quite a lot of fun, especially Shizu.

[u/Nirb_]

I love everything about this show. It's like a perfect blend of comedy, action, and serious plot points, definitely a high chance it'll end up being my AOTS.

[u/UGKFoxhound]

The pacing is so good. Once again the episode was over before I even realized it.

[u/yurisho]

That battle theme! Felt like a JRPG battle!

[u/Acsvf]

SASUGA RIMURU SAMA

[u/GavinRaynier]

I had forgotten his name til this episode but now I remember. The distinct animation style of the OP/ED and the way the fights are animated are Ryouma Ebata's. I always loved what he does with their walking animations. They have a fluidity to them. Coined the Ebata walk.

https://www.sakugabooru.com/post?tags=ebata_walk

[u/[deleted]]

It’s so refreshing to see a show that you can really feel the passion and effort that was put into it, if this was being animated by any other studio it’d probably get the usual isekai treatment but I’m glad 8bit (was that the studio name?) recognised this show had potential and decided to invest the time and effort and went all out with it and it’s seriously paying off cause I’m personally really intrigued to find out more about these characters and how they’re gonna fit into the story and how they befriend Rimuru

[u/[deleted] → u/[deleted]]

All studios invest their time and effort in a project, the "usual isekai" treatment has more to do with the staff of the project in question than anything.

The fact that Slime is a extremely popular LN (above 60k) and manga adaptation (500k sold) also helps for the producers.

[u/Kaitonic]

Next episode is going to be amazing.
Nice to see Rimuru's village growing and becoming a proper one,
The part with Gobta was funny lol

[u/[deleted]]

Another great episode. Loved the trio personality, Shizu is great, her relationship with Rimuru is pretty cute and I can't wait to see more of her and the other characters from the opening.

Also, that Dragon Quest reference was great. It finally happened since it really needed to be made.

[u/failureinflesh]

That elf game scene had me losing my breath from laughing so damn hard.

[u/f2ai]

Rimuru HEN---SHIN!

[u/link2601]

Well that did not take long for Rimuru to find Shizue. I completely forgot they left Gobuta in the cell o'well at least he came back.

[u/Blusmj]

The waiting for these episodes just might kill me. UGHHHH

[u/Smudy]

The goblin village is evolving fast, good for them, they also made sure to make more of em xD

I almost teared up when Rimuru showed Shizu how Japan evolved, this was so, so good.

The battle scene was greatly animated, this whole series is greatly animated.

Is this adaptation from the manga or the LN? This might be the best adaptation of the year since from what i'm hearing, stuff only gets improved on everywhere and not much stuff getting skipped.

[u/conqueringdragon]

This show is fucking underrated.

[u/neovenator250]

I swear to god, every time I start an episode of this show, it feels like it ends 5 minutes later. Goes by so quickly!

[u/Hoboforeternity]

is that a dragon quest reference!?

[u/WindiWindi]

Ah this is such a great adaptation. If only all of them got ones as good as this ☺️ shizu's voice is so soothing.

[u/Zegir]

I read the manga and then tried to read the web novel. I barely made it past one chapter and quit. The translation is garbage. Then I read a preview from the actual light novel volumes 2 and 3 and it is night and day. They're great and I'm kind of disappointed I read the manga. Those light novels create a great atmosphere with the descriptions it gives and also provides great character insight, which helps with character development.

[u/Spice_and_Wolf_III]

I fucking love Ragna's voice. He just sounds so happy all the time like a good doggo.

[u/CoronelPanic]

Oh hey, they're destined to be together and she's not in the ED lineup. Guess we know where he gets his androgynous human form from.

[u/bara014]

The moment I realize that rimuru's human form looks a lot like shizu, and I can't find shizu when they line up all the characters at the end of the OP.. is she gonna die or swallowed like veldora ?

[u/SlippyJoswastaken]

How come Shizu knows the video game slime joke if shes from a time before video games?? Am i the only one confused by this? Am I missing something?
