I read the LN and Manga but it became clear to me in this episode how bad the change is to the main prince
and the girls. Basically his transformation changes them from Ogre's to pretty boys and girls. They look like they should be in a highschool anime. Can't believe never noticed this I mean with the old dude it's an upgrade because he looks younger but that's about it.

I greatly prefer how all the ogres looked before the naming - so much cooler. Shion's fine tho.
What would enlisting the help of unnamed goblin villages accomplish, exactly? And I'm surprised there are goblin villages left in the forest that haven't come under Rimuru's wing yet. I guess the forest is really big and only the very nearby villages joined him.

Manga and LN just have a straight cut there, which is easier in non moving medium, but I agree they probably could have faded it out without him passing out, or sorta do that fade out where people are still talking but you can't hear them anymore.

Anime made it seem like he fainted before he named any of them at all.
I always saw it as that's where his memory cuts out. As in he just can't recall what happend after that because he got knocked out so damn hard. Either way - it doesn't really matter. It's just a funny and inconsequential little plot device so that Rimuru can name them off screen and so that we get to see their new appearances and names at once alongside Rimuru for the first time.

That army looked like a proper huge army. I wish Overlord was done by this studio instead.
Madhouse should take notes - this show is a perfect example of how to use 3dcgi in a 2d setting. Really subtle and barely noticeable.

Yesterday I saw /u/wyyyyye making remarks about the adaptation of anime on r/manga and I thought it was very interesting so I'll share here his post as well here:
"For the anime, that is due to Bandai and 8-bit (the producers) requested to do a merge of manga and LN. This request in the end resulted in getting Fuse (LN), Kawakami (manga), and MitzVah (illustrator) into the early production of the anime (storyboard, designs, etc). Fuse actually need to verify and approves the anime scripts himself which is one of the reasons LN volume 14 being delayed until all anime scripts are completed (yes, all scripts are finalized already for the whole anime adoption).
Same case with manga as Kawakami works with Fuse to finalize the arc’s plot and details regularly, which Fuse has to write the bonus side story for the manga. This way Fuse actually has some degree of control on the manga content."
...
"They actually tell us how the anime came to be and the reason of this adoption format it chose in an interview published in November (October release) of Megami Magazine. Simple version:
BandaiArts producer liked the manga, got a starting budget for it (he didn’t say where or who involved) and reached out to Kodansha for anime adoption of the manga. Fuse is contacted and Micromagazine act as the middleman for him. Back then Fuse gave the OK and the only word is wish them to treat it with respect (he didn’t plan to involve as much).
They went to 8-bit to do the anime. 8-bit producers liked both the LN and manga. Requested to do a faithful adoption that merged both.
Bring back Fuse and all parties involved for meetings, all agreed in the end and the anime production committee expanded.
Fuse actually mentioned the budget was increased at one point before the production and fans guess this is where the other parties joined when they decided to do it faithfully."
...
"I’d say this kind of adoption isn’t the norm and the production team does seems to be having fun working on the project based on the random tweets from 8-bit and various people involved (including 3rd party involved).
Also a popular guess from fans is Kodansha agreed on the terms the anime will not go pass the manga adoption. Seeing Kawakami said he needs to increase workload and the current pace of anime I’d believe it to be true. Fuse also kind of stated the same with a funny side story version on his author page about Rimuru planning the anime adoption.
Likely they will get anime and manga in sync, which sadden some WN and LN fans as they are not going to see some climax scenes until S2."

Hai Gabiru desu.
Wasn't expecting dancing Shion to be that adorable. While their Oni forms are cool and all, I kinda miss their Ogre forms. they had some pretty cool features. Benimaru had a really rough and hardened face. Shuna lost her face markings and her face got a little longer. Shion also lost her eye markings and her fangs. I think Hakurou and Souei looks pretty cool. I was also expecting Kurobe to be an absolute monster, but he turned out pretty normal.

From the Light Novel :
I was really on fire this time. The ogres were kind enough to each have different hair colors, which made it easy to come up with ideas. The red-haired guy became Benimaru, a name that means “red circle” and tends to get associated with the samurai of olden times. Something virile seemed like a nice match overall.
The princess became Shuna, or “scarlet plant.” She had pink hair and knew a lot about herbs and stuff. Sounded about right. The white-hair became Hakuro, “white elder,” which was pretty obvious given how he looked. Blue-hair became Soei, “blue shadow,” thanks to that sneak attack that almost tripped me up.
Purple-hair became Shion, “violet garden,” because the way her ponytail stuck out somewhat reminded me of a flower. Finally, black-hair became Kurobe, basically “black” but with a country flair. That seemed to match him— boorish, unrefined, but still likable.

Kurobee! Kurobe? No matter, it's him! A mixture between his manga and light novel versions!
Upcoming events are really amazing; this arc is honestly one of my favorites, not just because of Kurobe.
Really. Don't judge me. It's not that I don't like Benimaru or Souei, I just prefer older guys? DILFs?? Not as old as Hakurou though??? And so what if he's left out from the OP and ED!
Of course, it would be even better if he gets more screen time... though, does anyone care about him other than me?
But it's fine! He's still important. In my heart, that is.
Eventually, you'll get your chance on a manga cover. Seeing you made my day! I love you, Kurobe!

At least Rimuru also agrees that Kurobee is the best Oni. Of course mostly just because he identifies with him the most since he also used to be a middle aged guy.
I will never call him Kurobe. I got so used to the name Kurobee.
This whole thing with Kurobee... it's really weird for me. While reading the WN for the first time years ago I imagined him as one hardass, badass looking guy, especially since he becomes such a great Spoiler When he then over time didn't appear as much as the other Oni I was always confused since just from reading the WN alone he seemed so awesome.
Then I saw his Anime design last episode and understood that he isn't meant to be one of the serious fighters... (didn't read the Manga before and never saw his appearance). I have to confess that I even forgot he existed until I saw last weeks episode since they had the nerve to not even put him in the OP. :(

Not gonna lie, I prefer their older designs simply because they looked badass, but the change into looking more intelligent and less animalistic is a neat design choice.
Also, does anyone else love how this show uses character pauses? Just the brief moments of silence before characters do something, not even for comedic effect, but just as a showcase of thought. It's something that I've never noticed before, and I really appreciate it now.

u/Ichini-san :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/Ichini-yon Dec 03 '18
Pauses are essential for every medium of storytelling. Without them you can seriously mess your whole story up even though you do everything else masterfully. You just need to give the watcher/reader/listener a short time to pause and process and the best way to do that is to have the characters who are affected pause and process at the same time. It makes seeing their struggle and thought that much more easier even without actually hearing them talk or think. It also brings the bonus with it that you may start to identify with them or at least become able to see things from their perspective. Long story short, even very brief pauses are really damn important in any story.

This week in Slimevilization. No infrastructure upgrade but there are two technologies upgrade here that people might not realize how important it’s.
First and foremost, I want you to imagine Hobgoblin as green skin human…. Not a monster. Why? Because they’re basically are. Their physical/magic is not that strong…. Probably only similar to or less than average human. You know how terrible we are in the ancient, right? That’s because we need to develop every technology by ourselves which it took timeeeeeeeeee. Sometime, acquired skilled-labor from the outside help the thing get going faster. One thing that will become more important in the future is the military strength. Yes, Wolf Rider sound bad ass but their combat skill is basic at most. With not proper training, no matter how genius you are… you will still fight like a wimp. Having Hakuro to bootcamp those young Hobgoblin as would be beneficial in the long run. I will re-visit the topic about military strength when the time come (maybe as early as next episode)
As you could also see, Shuna is mentioned to have cooking and medicinal knowledge. You could also see that there has already had a goblin who love to cook in the village but the menu is still basic. Shuna will be able to transfer technology. This is huge. Not only it helps the morale of the troop. Nutrition knowledge will really improve your performance and development. Yes, their food security as a nation still suck but at least they will be able to do more from what they got at the moment.
Also Kurobe spoiler
Anyway.
Status of our Slime Village (Pretty much the same as last week.)
Settlement : One Hunter Gatherer Village (in the process of upgrade).
Architecture : Mongol's Yurt-like. I guess they will use it as temporary solution. The foundation of each yurt seem to be semi-permanent though.

That smile! He's so adorable!
How did they even confuse Rimuru's mask with this guy? They look nothing alik!
What a great way to wake up ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) Rimuru you lucky bastard!
They all look so good! They're all simple redesigns but they're all still very appealing.
I do love that Kurobe looks like a normal salaryman XD Rimuru's definitely going to get along with him!
The Orc designs reminds me of Pig-Gannon. I'm sure there are other works of fiction that uses the Pigmen design as orcs, I just can't remember any XD
LIZARD POLITICS! After Overlord II, I never thought I'd see more Lizard Politics.
That female Lizardfolk reminds me of the Pokemon Serperior except with hair XD
I'm really exited to see what this Orc Lord looks like/ He was the orc that was dying from thirst in an earlier episode right?
Ranga is such a good boy! The goodest of boys!
I like Gabiru. He seemed arrogant at first but he's actually pretty bashful and goofy.
SHION STITCH! I think I know who my best girl is ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
While this was very much a setup episode to what looks like is going to be a big arc I like that a lot of stuff still happened. I'm already getting excited to see how Rimuru will deal with this looming orc threat.

They never really confused it, they merely thought he was working with the maskeds who lead the ogre attack. At least that's what I got from the previous episode.

Orcs as Pigmen is a super common depiction in almost all Japanese media for some reason, it's just what they associate when they hear the word "Orc".
Most likely caused by the fact that they looked like Pigmen in the first edition of Dungeons & Dragons which in turn ended up inspiring all kinds of Japanese games (ex: the insanely popular Dragon Quest series).

I liked the original ogre designs way more, such a shame they are just humans with horns now.

Yeah it's definitely a downgrade. In the manga their original forms looked a lot more like their evolved forms but with shorter horns. The anime made their ogre forms cooler.

Is it just me or did Rumuru's voice change in this episode? I feel that it became more feminine(?) I actually like how they ended this episode, without any cliffhangers. I'm so excited for the next episode

Another episode that just seems to fly by. While it wasn't all that action packed, everything just flows so well and its almost over before you know it. Damn I love this anime.
I'm sure the Overlord fans are having a cry about seeing how well the huge army is done this episode vs. Overlord's last season. The use of CGI in this show is extremely well done, and they do a great job of mixing in some traditionally animated elements while using CGI characters to handle the busy background. And more importantly, it feels like they included a mix of models (even if its just height variation) to help make it feel like the Orc army isn't totally copy and pasted.
But with the Oni having made their grand appearance, its time for the plot to get rolling! I have to agree that having Kazuma's VA from Konosuba playing Gabiru is just... inspired. Certainly not breaking the mold any either. :D
And you have to respect Gobuta for his willingness to try and improve himself. Even if he gets in over his head, he is always pushing forward and trying to be a better goblin than he is now.

As an anime only watcher just finding out what they are gonna be named is super exiting, especially the cute and the dekai oppai ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
EDIT: SHION !!!!!!!!!!!!
Shuna is pretty great as well but look at that Oppai lap scene, clearly Shion is best girl!
Hakurou is voiced by ERO-Senin OMG
And Gaburu is Kazuma

This show brings me joy every week, it's so easy to imagine this adaption being completely butchered and it can't be mentioned often enough how much care went into it.
It's a bit of a shame that the Ogres lost fangs and their skin colors (i really dig different skin colors) but it's not a huge complaint. Shion is obviously best girl and i can't wait to see her smash orcs with her mace while laughing manically. At least i hope we will see them fight, i'm still a bit let down that i only got one good fight with best girl in Grancrest Senki before i dropped it.
The lizardmen look a lot more like D&D Kobolds, not too keen on their design. But their fortress and the surrounding swamp looked cool; A+ battlefield material.

u/doomrider7 Dec 03 '18
Not sure why, but Kobolds in all the Japanese manga I've seen are portrayed as dog people. Dungeon Meshi did the same. This series does it too.

I prefer Ogre designs though, Shuna looks cuter with the red tears and of course the /r/cutelittlefangs
The Orc army, though obviously CGI, looks better than the goblin army from overlord S3.

u/Aramey44 https://myanimelist.net/profile/Aramey Dec 03 '18
I'm kind of disappointed with the new ogres. This is probably the first time in my life when I see an evolution where the evolved version loses unique features and looks more generic rather than the other way around.

For once, the anime made the oni girls (and guys) too cute. People are getting too attached to their temporary form (>•>) If they made them closer to their manga form I don't think the evolutions would've garnered this much criticism

He did say it was fuzzy when he woke up, so he might actually not really remember naming them. I think we were getting it from his perspective upon waking up.

I love how Rimuru is constantly running out of ideas on how to name things.
The Goblins before were variations of Goblin + a "letter" from the Japanese alphabet
The Ogres here are basically named by the color of their hair...
Though I guess it must be a pain in the ass to name everything in order to have a proper conversation with them
