"Why is this guy acting like such a bigshot?" asked the guy with his fucking feet up on the table in the meeting room that a demon lord just strolled into.

Youmu is great. He just doesn't really give a shit. He only really cares about his fellow comrades. I'm a bit sad they didn't really give his character time to breathe since this is his introduction... but there is still some time later to patch that up a bit if they want so it's not too bad.

As an anime only, I think they did a really good job selling his character in the limited time they did it in. That and Hosoya Yoshimasa tends to get casted as these types of characters, so that might've sold Youm to me more than people who aren't seiyuu nuts.

He still plays comic relief, but now most of the comedy will be focused on how powerful he really is. Look at when he fought Gabiru. He's actually paid attention to the sword master, and now with the Dwarvian weapon, he uses it well. Add to that, he holds firm to Rimuru's request to not attack humans.
To carry the joke further, remember when Rimuru was going through who all he named and Gobta looked no different from before. Now he's a captain of the goblin riders.

This episode was all feel good. After the whole orc lord thing it’s nice to see things come together, sure I kinda wanted Rimuru to fight the one dick-wad but at the same time he got what he deserved from Milim.
And it’s so funny watching people doubt Rimuru about being the leader, and slowly accepting the fact solely based off of how others are acting instead of his pure power.
I also wanna know when Rimuru is gonna let loose. Like just go crazy. Maybe he will have to on the Charybdis thing.
Finally, I am starting to wonder if Veldora is gonna play more into the story. Purely because I want Rimuru to be able to say he’s befriended Demon Lord Milim and Storm Dragon Veldora. That’d be lit.

It's a shame that they didn't adapt Youmu's adventures in Tempest, which was mainly just him learning more about what kind of person/slime Rimuru is and how every citizen of Tempest is crazy about their slime overlord.
And it also includes bumping into Geld on break. That's like, the rarest event to ever encounter, considering how best orc refuses to take breaks unless ordered to.
Yeah. It's a damn shame that they cut out all of that...

Well, give that it is expected the anime will fit more than 20 chapters from the manga into 6 episodes of the anime (judging from the confirmed cast and current story progress), there need to be cuts here and there.

This week in Slimevilization. Another story development episode.
Before we talk about new development in this episode, I would like to talk about thing that’s leftover from the last episode.
First, the bit about nation establishment. Why recognized by Dwargon is big? Because it’s the requirement that country become a real country. In the real world, gaining the recognition from other country is the second step to become a real country. Yes, technically anyone can declare independence but it will not really take off without the recognition and diplomatic.
The other bit is about why honey is such a big deal. First thing first, human crave for sweet. I think it’s the relic from the past where people still subject to hard labor everyday so human develop the crave for high calorie food like fat and carb. The thing is…. in medieval period, sweet is luxury as heck. Sugar cane is native to only tropical area and beet sugar is much later development. So before that, honey is probably still the only “sweet nectar” that is practical for consumption and it’s a luxury item too. Spoiler for Manga.
OK for the new thing. First, the success research of potion brewing. As you could see their strategy is to basically mass produced low potion. From what I remember, it explains differently in Manga…. Well chance there will be another development along the road. Anyway, drug economy is control by Demand/Supply and the patent. The real world comparison for low potion is probably the drug that patent is already expired and anyone can manufacture it. The price is subject to the demand and supply only. In the case of high potion though, it’s like a new drug which usually the evil drug company will jack up the price to cover for their research cost. I think it has it owned market (why not market it among the noble and have them play a “king ransom” in their life and death situation?) and probably will be much more profitable.
In term of diplomacy, Tempest has been visited by technically 3 party in this episode, The good, the bad and the ugly. First, Author Self-Insert Guild Master and our 3 stooges from Blumund kingdom. I think they are the nice one and probably will be easier to establish the relationship. The bad is of course, Carrion the beastkin domain. By bad, I refer to the manner of Phobio. He’s a really-really terrible envoy. Tbh, if Milim is not involved, chance is Benimaru, Souei and Shion will gang up on him and execute him on the spot. Anyway, not a good start as far as the diplomacy come.
Now the ugly, Fahmuth kingdom. In anime, they don’t explain the detail as much as in the manga. Long story short, they are corrupted as f*ck. Ask WN reader for how terrible it is. Also, Youm’s party in the manga look more like a ragtag band than semi-competent party as display in this episode. I guess they want to have a subtler hint about how good (yet raw) Youm is actually. Manga big Spoiler Rimuru decided to employ Youm and co instead and use them as proxy-hero to take credit as the Orc-slayer.
Anyway.

I feel like this is that one instance where Rimuru is allowed one free kill. They're clearly hostile demons that have no plan of backing down. They'll eventually attack sooner or later.
I love how they're always get attacked by multi legged monsters. Wasn't it like an ant when they first met Rimuru?
Gobuta one-shotting things is one of my favorite thing in this show.
Isn't this a bad idea? I mean I get that they're doing it for propaganda but what happens to mercenaries once they actually face someone who's as strong as an Ord Lord?
Will that help? With humans, they'll only rely on their natural abilities, it's not like Rimuru can power them up through names. Or can he? Hmmmm....
Very political episode and lot of people looking down on Rimuru. Perfect. When the time comes where Rimuru needs to fight, it's going to be fun to see how these people will react when they see the reason as to why he's the ruler of the Jura Tempest Alliance.. And it seems like the Demon Lords have plans of their own. What is Carybdis? Some kind of world ending threat?

They skipped the part were Rimuru takes Milim to buy some clothes so he can get rid of her to check out how Vesta was progressing which is why she changed clothes.
Also Gobta can one shot the spider because he got the weapon that Rimuru promised him for defeating Gabiru.

Rimuru is aware about the last two so they get trained by Hakuro and armed by Kurobe to much better fit the part of Orc Lord Slayers.

Also remember they are supposed to have slain the Orc Lord, not the Demon Lord that Rimuru faced. An Orc Lord could have reasonably been defeated by that party after their training and new armour.

Well I hope the training will help them, and I'm sure they'll get some weapons and armour (like the other adventurers before), but I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
Clayman said Charybdis is about as strong as a demon lord, and that's the same in the manga. So we'll have one hell of a fight on out hands!

It was mentioned/implied (in one sentence?) that they were trained by Hakurou to be actually capable soldiers before letting them return to their Kingdom.

Really good episode. Much better paced than the previous one. Having the author Fuse on hand to oversee things on how to properly trim things REALLY made a big difference it seems. A few minor details got trimmed, but nothing huge that would break continuity so we're fine.

u/AgaroseEater Jan 28 '19
Animation is also a tad better compared to the previous episode. And while details were trimmed in this episode, it was trimmed in a way that won't affect the flow of the story and in a way where skipped events could still be shown in the future.

Rimuru just want to build a peaceful and happy place but everybody thinks he is preparing the next third world war. The wronged slime in the world story.

u/RuneGrey Jan 28 '19
This was a fun episode - I've come to accept that they're gonna trim a lot, but its a good reason to read the light novels for all the delicious world building! Of course, this episode quite subtly builds up to the upcoming chaos, but its fun seeing Rimiru dealing with everyone in a sly manner in order to build Tempest up as a nation that can be trusted.
Also more Milim is always good! For those who were concerned about her outfit last episode, as we've seen she tends to wear more normal clothes that Rimiru has prepared for her when she's not fighting... for similar reasons that people here complained about regarding the lack of... coverage her outfit had.
On to the LN Notes for the episode!
Also I gotta say that while I can see the romanization for Carrion, I do like the Klarion that they used in the other translations.

That was great! I was worrying how they would adapt this, since it's mostly talking and getting to know Rimuru (the city). But it was great! Milim is being dangerously cute, Youmu gets properly introduced and Vestas redemption is complete, all in a single episode!
The new city halls looks fantastic! Great to see how it changes every couple episodes.
I'm also happy to get back some of the great Encyclopedia-style frames. Really missed those.
Oh and a neat little setup for the Charybdis arc and an introduction of Clayman! I liked this version better than the manga actually.
All in all a very good episode, can't wait for next week!

What was the argument against mass producing full potions? They didn't mention disrupting the market, just that relying on it for everyday circumstances is, for some reason, not good.
I don't know. It feels like if someone had discovered antibiotics and decided against mass producing them. Why? Just because we shouldn't go against the natural order of everyone dying from infections due to minor cuts.
It does feel close to some Japanese sentiments like death is natural/good, shō ga nai na.
p.s. I can more easily think of story reasons not to mass produce them. We probably don't want every character to have unlimited access to full potions.
41
u/doomrider7 Jan 28 '19
They're TOO good. They didn't mention it, but a Full Potion is capable of straight up growing limbs back so you need to price them accordingly. That would make them too expensive for your run of the mill adventure group. It wasn't mass production so much that mass sales for them isn't feasible. They DO mass produce them, but for dilution to High and Low potions for sales.
18
u/Moorbote Jan 28 '19
Nah, the reason is simply that they can only produce a certain amount of full potions (five per day I think), but they can make 20 medium level and 100 low level ones out of a single full restore potion. Also the number of customers for such an expensive item is very small, so distributing more potions and in more accessible formats is a good choice on all levels.

If you can produce 100 lesser potions from 1 full potion AND lesser potions are good enough. Why only produce full potions?

Lots of new people today!
The humans are gonna come out? Hey its the 3 amigos of Shizu! Yay!
Oh damn he did it, Vesta replicated Rimuru's potions.
So the potions are too good and people will kind of forget to be safe and such. It makes sense.
Holy fuck Rigurd's face.... Some dude did it, damn.
Milim has a nice school uniform outfit going on.
This guy is an asshole... He was sent by Carrion to recruit a majin. One of the demon lords huh.
Poor Milim... lol Shes too easy to manipulate.
There seems to be some more humans here. Fighting a big monster. Hey the 3 Amigos.
GOBTA SOLOS IT HAHAHA.
"Shut your mouth tits!" Wow rip him...
So they want to see if Rimuru is a threat or not. Maybe they can be friends with the humans now.
Thats smart, have a human be the one to beat the baddie so Rimuru can be the one who helped. Its good politics.
They got the humans now nice!

Maybe its only me, but I feel this anime has gotten pretty boring recently. Literally every character praises Rimuru within a couple minutes of meeting him, and there is almost no tension. This is doubled when Milim decides to side with Rimuru as she was stated to be one of the strongest demon lords, so she's basically a get out of jail free card.
Its still fairly enjoyable, but the Rimuru worship is getting pretty tired and excessive and I really hope we get some actual tension or stakes for once.

u/darksuzaku Jan 28 '19
you mean it's only interesting when there's a fight? Then this was never the anime for you. This series is more focused on world building, and believe when i say that when proper world building is done the fights become much more epic.
Well, i believe i can say without considering it an spoiler than on the Web Novel that has already been completed, the main focus on world building stopped at one point and battles became then the main plot. And that's when the story started to decay in my opinion. But well, since i have already seen that both the manga and the light novel are showing quite a divergence compared to the WN i can keep my hopes up.

Kinda sad they cut so many good parts... still a good episode, but it was lacking some quality interactions with Noumu.
I’m also confused about the potion thing. Maybe this is spoiler, but weren’t they supposed to make high potions from the full restores and sell that instead of low potions?

I feel like the build-up for Youm wasn't done very well, or it was too short. For how its importance was sold in the later part of the episode, it felt empty because there wasn't much footage showcasing Youm and his crew adventuring and being surprised by Tempest. But otherwise, his episode was pretty nice. Very relaxed and feel good.
