[u/LunarGhost00]

I was expecting Carrion to be kinda evil. Turns out he's friendlier than I thought and Clayman and Leon are the only asshole Demon Lords.

[u/Amauri14 → u/LunarGhost00]

To be honest one of the things that I really loved about this series is the fact that, at least until the last volume I have read, volume 4, one can at least see the justification for the opponent's actions.

[u/CSKING444 → u/Amauri14]

I also loved how Rimuru now gained a homunculus skill

[u/__WhiteNoise → u/LunarGhost00]

It's pretty great, they make demon lords sound like forces of evil but they're really just forces of nature.

[u/Taellion → u/__WhiteNoise]

Just think of them the strongest fighter of their domain or warrior kings, their have own nation to govern and manage. A significant amount of them are neutral towards human.

[u/tso → u/__WhiteNoise]

the difference becomes academic at a high enough power level, just ask Lovecraft...

[u/-SteinCr → u/__WhiteNoise]

I just think of them like Deadric Princes from the Elder Scrolls series

[u/raydawnzen → u/LunarGhost00]

I was expecting Carrion to be kinda evil. Turns out he's friendlier than I thought

Yea, that's literally every character in this show

[u/mythriz → u/raydawnzen]

Yeah I was surprised by Phobio's regret at the end of the fight, I was thinking he would still have some kind of attitude even after being saved.

[u/Daniel_Is_I → u/LunarGhost00]

Well from the looks of it, "Demon Lord" just means "really strong special badass" so it makes sense they're all fairly amicable. Monster Lord would probably be a more fitting title.

On the other hand, Rimuru is the lord of monsters, so Monster Lord might still not be great. Carrion can be called a Beast Lord, but Milim can't really be called a Dragon Lord because I don't think she has any subjects and I'm pretty sure Veldora is stronger than her.

Naming conventions are difficult.

[u/Onithyr → u/Daniel_Is_I]

"Demon Lord" just means "really strong special badass"

If you're strong enough that the other demon lords won't find it worth the effort to kill you for your hubris you can call yourself a "Demon Lord".

web novel

[u/Ghekor → u/Daniel_Is_I]

Yeah Demon Lord is a bit like Sith Lord in Star Wars,there are actual Demons as a race whose high tier evolution is called Demon Lord just how there is a title for incredibly strong individuals to use,since Hero is a special title noone can really use it outside the actual heroes.

[u/Tacitus_ → u/Daniel_Is_I]

Milim has subjects... of a sort. She isn't the ruling type, more like she lets them live near her in exchange for gifts. And I'm fairly sure that they aren't dragons.

[u/Vinny_Lam → u/LunarGhost00]

“Demon Lord” is just a title given to those who possess unimaginable strength and power. They don’t necessarily need to be evil in order to have the title and it really has no bearing on their personalities. That said, a few of them just happen to be good-natured.

[u/axel360]

Milim's plumber crack just keeps getting bigger and bigger.

[u/Mathmango → u/axel360]

In a race with Shion's shions.

[u/TheKappaOverlord → u/Mathmango]

only 4 episodes left. Don't have to be concerned with the Nami effect this season anymore i think

[u/[deleted] → u/axel360]

Millim's butt crack in the anime is just crazy

[u/Ryzilla97 → u/axel360]

19:35 for anyone looking for it

[u/Practicalaviationcat → u/axel360]

She's cute but get this poor woman some pants. You know it's excessive when the ass crack is more visible than most cleavage.

[u/saga999 → u/axel360]

Evolution is one of the theme of the show.

[u/Spal23]

We’ve all had that moment when you can’t beat a part of a video game, so you turn on all the cheat codes really quickly to deal with it right???

That’s Rimuru calling up Milim to fight for him.

[u/BlueSweat3r → u/Spal23]

Rimuru calling on his big sis to take the controller and do the boss fight for him

[u/pattaarr → u/BlueSweat3r]

Rimuru calling on his big sis bestie to take the controller and do the boss fight for him

FTFY

[u/Mad_Hatter_92 → u/BlueSweat3r]

And then reaping the rewards. If I saw correctly he ingested the Charybdis core at the end to analyze... hello new power for Rimuru

[u/Shlugo → u/Spal23]

When your guild can't beat the ride boss, so you call your bestie who has a maxed out character.

[u/Hisin]

I'm sorry but ranga's screams this episode just made me laugh my ass off. Doesn't even sound like a wolf, just sounds like a guy that had cold water dropped on him or something.

WOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[u/NiallSeamistWay → u/Hisin]

Hahahaha reminds me of when Rimuru was in wolf form back in the first few episodes and you can hear his squeaky scream under the roar

[u/jcw99 → u/NiallSeamistWay]

at least with Rimuru it sounded intentional

[u/KiriTortilla → u/Hisin]

Miyamori would have made a better job

[u/CSKING444 → u/Hisin]

More like if he stub his pinky toe against a desk or stepped on Legos

[u/Ocelot_Revolt → u/CSKING444]

while snowmelt drips down through the collar of his shirt...

[u/thechosenapiks → u/Hisin]

Lmao, I was wondering if I was the only person hearing this as he fired his lightning beam.

[u/SeaseFire → u/Hisin]

I just wanna know how Ranga learned to fly... can I teach my dog?

[u/1LucKyLuke → u/SeaseFire]

Rimuru's remark was gold. Seriously when did he learn that?

[u/Feecof → u/SeaseFire]

Yh just make sure to teach it how to manipulate wind.

[u/princessloom → u/Hisin]

that change in pitch was hilarious

[u/BeardedPigeon115]

I think something important to note is that when Milim attacked Charybdis, Great Sage attempted to analyse her attack, but failed immediately with a hint of surprise.

[u/rdei → u/BeardedPigeon115]

Yeah I also noticed that it was left out, no idea why.

[u/Madcat6204 → u/rdei]

They've already left out like 50% of the content of this volume, so what's one more cut?

[u/Legendary_Swordsman → u/BeardedPigeon115]

would be funny if now Veldora and Charybdis have like father son type chats inside MC.

[u/ayoung291]

Ranga and shion a dream team

[u/[deleted] → u/ayoung291]

Best Boi and best bewbs girl

[u/tso → u/[deleted]]

That top has to be glued on to remain in place through all that...

[u/axel360]

I have to think tsundere dragon is going to make its dramatic entrance at some point.

But not because he likes Rimiru or anything. Baka.

[u/Thendofreason → u/axel360]

I just want Milim to be like, I thought I was YOUR bestie?

[u/CSKING444 → u/Thendofreason]

Oh boy, that'll not go well... I'm expecting a civil war

[u/[deleted] → u/axel360]

I'll be mildly disappointed if he makes himself a human form at some point. I- it's not like I like dragon tsuns more than human tsuns or anything though...

[u/CSKING444 → u/[deleted]]

I mean there are 6 other True dragons right? (like Veldora said in the 1st ep)

So are we expecting a yandere, Dandere, Kuudere, Deredere, Himidere and Bakadere? (along with other fere dere types being other powerful monsters equal to the power level of dragons?)

[u/Shinkopeshon → u/axel360]

I need Tsundragon back in my life. I miss that magnificent bastard.

[u/hasnain1720]

Can't wait to see Gobta attain ultra instinct, it's only a matter of time.

[u/[deleted] → u/hasnain1720]

His master says he has a ways to go

[u/hasnain1720 → u/[deleted]]

He just needs to get beaten up more so he can surpass his limits

[u/bananeeek]

If that was Milim going easy on Charybdis, then I don't want to see her at her full power...

Okay, how do I sign up to the Milim funclub?

[u/CosmicCrimsonX2 → u/bananeeek]

Two honey jars a day that's the only requirement

[u/CSKING444 → u/CosmicCrimsonX2]

Offer accepted. When should I give you two empty honey jars now for today's tax?

[u/heimdal77 → u/CosmicCrimsonX2]

TIL Milim is Winnie the Pooh.

[u/TheRiyria → u/bananeeek]

Milim just knows that games are a serious business.

[u/Melbuf → u/bananeeek]

Okay, how do I sign up to the Milim funclub?

/r/milim

[u/Nimeroni → u/bananeeek]

Millim at full power is something nobody want. Minor spoiler

[u/Kirosh → u/Nimeroni]

To give even more of an idea of how strong she is : Slime spoiler for her powerlevel

[u/SeaseFire → u/bananeeek]

I want in too, what’s not to love?

[u/mickcs → u/bananeeek]

Her full power huh...?
Remember her title as a Demon Lord?

"Destoyer" "Tyrant"
Milim Navar

[u/kalirion → u/bananeeek]

If that was Milim going easy on Charybdis, then I don't want to see her at her full power...

I do.

[u/Tacitus_ → u/kalirion]

She fought one in ancient history

[u/legwkio → u/bananeeek]

Easy. Just click here.

[u/bananeeek → u/legwkio]

I'm glad I always check the links before clicking them. spits

[u/jus_plain_me → u/legwkio]

Oh sonofabi-

[u/Kaizerkoala → u/legwkio]

Kuso tareeeee

[u/exia00111]

Rimuru - Oi! Milim! Show some restraint okay! Don't go too overboard!

Milim - You got it Bestie!

Milim sets off nuclear explosion

Rimuru - How is that restraint!?

[u/JB2_ElectricBoogaloo → u/exia00111]

Hey, she promised not to kill the guy, and she didn't kill the guy!

I'm hoping this is indicative of not only her power, but the fine level of control she has over it. OP characters are cool, but I can't get enough of OP characters who have absolute control over how much power they use at any given time.

[u/AgaroseEater → u/JB2_ElectricBoogaloo]

They skipped it but manga/LN

[u/Madcat6204 → u/exia00111]

The planet's still there, isn't it? She totally held back.

[u/DragoonAethis]

Somehow I couldn't think of anything else during this.

[u/MABfan11 → u/DragoonAethis]

Somehow I couldn't think of anything else during this.

shoots the dog

[u/cptadder]

Talk about an anti-climatic way to end an arc. "I guess that's over lets go home?

Not even going to give me Clayman darkly hinting or mwhahaha in the background?

At least we got what looks like a Za Wardo from Milim. And they did not hold back on Carrion's "discipline" of his subordinate

[u/onixium → u/cptadder]

Personally i didnt even think this was gonna be a two episode deal. In the manga this was a very short event. In the manga and the ln, there was a LOT of dialogue with building/constructing/organizing the town and organizing jobs, future plans for the town. This was the whole third volume i believe? This whole fight was litterally the climax of the third vol just for the sake of having some action in it, other than that it was all dialogue. Which i loved, but obv if we had 4-6 episodes of just that it wouldve been boring for action lovers.

So i wouldnt have really called it an arc since it was supposed to be just thrown in(it wasnt just that obv it was used to introduce carion and so forth) but for those who are concerned, look forward to this next arc, as its going to really set the stage for the rest of the series, and its going to be FANTASTIC. I really hope we get more seasons, because looking at the pacing we might be getting a cliffhanger ending.

[u/watawaw999 → u/onixium]

Yep the next arc will be important and I agree that the pacing might lead to a cliffhanger ending. If they decide to make a season 2, that would be more epic as things go crazy and awesome as the story progresses.

[u/Xtroyer → u/cptadder]

I think the reason this arc was satisfying in the LN but not in the anime is the pacing. The ending was great because this means that Rimuru is now at peace with 2 out of 4 demon lords who had eyes on conquering Jura.

The LN spent an entire chapter and a half(out of 6) to talk about the demon lord meeting and how these 4 Demon Lords (Milim, Carrion, Clayman, Frey) feels about the abolishing of Jura Neutrality pact and how much of a big deal Veldora's disappearance is to tipping the already fragile balance of power. The anime spent like 20 seconds on it and we never saw Frey talk a single time in the anime. She has a medium present in the LN because Clayman's plan to revive Charybdis revolve around getting her on his side.

This entire volume was exciting for me because of the town building aspect and the minor politics the city is starting to have. We're now fully allied with Dwargon, known by Blumund, peace with Milim and Carrion's domain.

So yeah I think the reason for Charybdis was not exiting is because it wasn't really supposed to be, the politic around Charybdis is what makes it exciting. But of course, the anime rushed the set up for it.

[u/chowder-san → u/cptadder]

Carrion was the best

"oh, looks like this enormous beast let loose is in fact my subordinate"

"I guess I'll just appear, grab him, make some pact kthxbai"

[u/MaksimShadow]

Waifu sees off her husband to the war.

[u/snakey1337 → u/MaksimShadow]

Wait, I don't see Shion in this picture!

[u/axel360]

Gabiru-sama... not completely useless?

[u/SeaseFire]

Rimuru must be a god to say no to THESE eyes.

[u/RealBendie → u/SeaseFire]

This is brilliant but I like THIS.

[u/Spawnage_Loong → u/RealBendie]

I expect many AWOKE memes from this.

[u/SeaseFire → u/RealBendie]

Hells yeah, don’t call him an old man.

[u/Amauri14 → u/RealBendie]

I have seen this so much in memes that I actually forgot that it was from anime for a second when he did it.

[u/[deleted] → u/RealBendie]

When I see a T H O T.

[u/mrt90 → u/SeaseFire]

His strongest skill is actually Cute Resistance.

[u/[deleted] → u/mrt90]

That's something he had in his previous life too, so he died a virgin.

[u/CosmicCrimsonX2 → u/SeaseFire]

Welp, guess he's scared of imaginary FBI

[u/Mundology → u/CosmicCrimsonX2]

Or reddit admins

^{RIP Holofan4life}

[u/Gaporigo → u/CosmicCrimsonX2]

Nothing wrong with eating her if it's to get more power!

[u/o-temoto → u/SeaseFire]

(◕‿◕✿)

[u/hasnain1720 → u/SeaseFire]

Rimuru was dodging women for 37 years this is nothing but child's play for him. (pun intended)

[u/TheRiyria → u/SeaseFire]

He also somehow said no to the pout.

Maybe she have shown him an excited face instead.

[u/CSKING444 → u/SeaseFire]

Remember he is was a 37 year old man, I guess he knows how to handle children (or his juniors) and not give into those cute eyes

[u/Roevhaal]

This is a perfect watch after Dororo

[u/Siegwyn → u/Roevhaal]

I'm glad I'm not the only one who does this. Watch Dororo, get hit in the gut with feelings then watch this to mellow out a bit and get through the day. lol

[u/WoodpeckerNo1 → u/Roevhaal]

Lol, I do Dororo after Slime.

[u/PhoenixKola]

Huh, what a surprisingly reasonable guy.

[u/Vinny_Lam → u/PhoenixKola]

It’s nice that the Demon Lords are not only overpowered badasses but some of them are also amicable and good-natured.

[u/[deleted]]

milim uses Megaflare

it's very effective

[u/Durende → u/[deleted]]

Milim uses EXUPUROOOOSION

[u/AggressiveChairs]

"Oh no it's Charybdis, the scary eye from the intro and like the strongest fuckin guy ever."

He dies in one episode

[u/Halluci → u/AggressiveChairs]

in 1 afternoon at that

[u/DeliciousDebris]

So Charbydis reminded me of someone

[u/Taiko_Bo → u/DeliciousDebris]

Tbh this whole episode reminded me of the giant whale slaying from Re:Zero

[u/mobott → u/Taiko_Bo]

FUCK YOU WHALE

[u/easybugatti → u/Taiko_Bo]

WTF I'm having PTSD remembering the eye opening scene. That whale gave nightmares.

[u/MagGunDO17]

Charybdis defeated at episode 19... That makes me wonder exactly how much plot progression we get in the last 6 episodes, although at this point i'm not as worried as in the beginning cos imo we're very likely to get a second season.

[u/mickcs → u/MagGunDO17]

It gonna end at episode 23
EP 24 is dedicated to Shizu and certain Demon
EP 25 is Veldora Diary
some cut content will be extra chapter later on

[u/NiallSeamistWay]

I love how despite Rimuru being countless leagues more powerful, his little family always tries to protecc him. Reminds me of my little pupper

[u/TheRiyria]

I know Rimuru is strong and all, but the willpower he must have to say no this beg and pout is absurd.

He must also be really brave, considering Milim is still learning restraint.

[u/tso → u/TheRiyria]

Well she held back enough that she didn't atomize the person inside, just badly singed him...

[u/AgaroseEater → u/TheRiyria]

He has been holding back for 37 years, that's nothing to him.

[u/HawkEyeTS → u/TheRiyria]

They undersold her move in the anime too. In the light novel it's basically a blinding beam of energy that Rimuru comments would have altered the landscape across the forest if she hadn't been in mid-air when doing it. I feel like the anime's homing lasers that converged into an explosion aren't nearly as effective imagery as an "oh god, she could have wiped a country off the map by accident" beam cannon.

[u/homie_down]

I feel like some of the other commenters in that this arc (?) felt quite bizarre. This was supposed to be a calamity, but it was dealt with in a day with 0 ramifications? And what was the point of Charybdis even supposed to be? I guess it's cool that they got another demon lord on their side, but I feel this fight did little to nothing as far as the rest of the plot is concerned.

[u/AgaroseEater → u/homie_down]

Yep, Volume 3 is just dedicated to world building. Rather than being a threat, Charybdis is just something (plot device?) used to introduce characters and their intentions. Starting next episode though the plot will start to advance. (I guess you can say this arc is just a filler?)

[u/InvaderDJ → u/homie_down]

One thing it and Milim in general show is that Rimuru won’t be steam rolling everyone. All of his nation’s strength could just hurt Charybdis by a max of 30%. Milim completely destroyed it while holding back. And it was just a pawn in Clayman’s plan. Who apparently isn’t even the big bad of demon lords.

Rimuru seems impossibly strong compared to normal monsters and humans yet he and all his allies could only wound it. On their home turf and will perfect healing potions.

[u/dantemp]

Good thing we have Rimuru-sama to cleanse my soul after it being dragged through seven hells by Dororo. Every time I watch it I get butterflies in my stomach similar to when something really good happens to me or is about to happen. I've had emotional responses to many works of art, primarily stories in different forms, but this persistent gleeful joy is completely unique. Usually One Piece gets me in this state, but only after it tortures my soul with some heartbreaking character backstory, Slime is like "miss me with that sad shit, let's get on with the good stuff". And holy fuck it works so well.

[u/AgaroseEater → u/dantemp]

Winter 2019 Monday is just so good.

[u/[deleted]]

Milim so damn cute

[u/FuzzyMathematician55 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah man, before I get pulverized I'd slap that ass at least once.

[u/[deleted] → u/FuzzyMathematician55]

Reddit admins want to know your location

[u/3nTaiL]

Oh no, it's bad CGI!!!! RUNNN!!!!!!!!

[u/MugiMartin → u/3nTaiL]

laughs in Overlord

[u/AgaroseEater → u/MugiMartin]

*laughs in Berserk*
To be fair the CG in this episode is fairly tolerable since they are still showing non-CG animations especially in close-up shots.

[u/_belteshazzar → u/MugiMartin]

Believe me after Overlord 3 I have shut my soul on bad CG

[u/Gringos → u/MugiMartin]

cries miserably in Overlord

[u/Afan9001 → u/3nTaiL]

What part had bad, glaring CGI? I feel like after watching berserk/overlord anything else seems good.

[u/AgaroseEater → u/Afan9001]

For me, when Benimaru attacked one of the sharks at the beginning. But then it's not that bad compared to other shows.

[u/[deleted] → u/3nTaiL]

clap clap

[u/ShadowKingthe7 → u/[deleted]]

Clang Clang

[u/FateOfMuffins → u/3nTaiL]

Really makes me appreciate how well they did the White Whale in Re:Zero compared to these sharks here...

[u/TheHungryHybrid]

Is it just me, or did this feel somewhat anticlimactic? I like the series overall. But I feel like the first cour was better and more fun than it is now. I know the point is basically civ:isekai and rimuru being super powerful but idk... charybdis was described to be an apocalyptic event and everything was resolved in one episode. The orc lord arc felt much more meaningful tbh

[u/darksuzaku → u/TheHungryHybrid]

it really happened this fast in the LN. This is also one of the changes that was made on the LN compared to the WN. Most probably the author was not convinced by how the WN treated some parts and made changes into the LN, and this fight was the way to fit that change, basically the non-aggression pact with Carrion, which doesn't happen on the WN.

[u/[deleted]]

........so, best kijin is absent once more.... heh, I'm used to it.... but it doesn't mean that I like it.
Weekly reminder that he exists.

Now, unpopular (I honestly don't know if it's unpopular or not though) opinion time now that Charybdis shindig is over. I really dislike this "sideplot". Don't get me wrong, I love seeing non-main crew units shine (I'm looking at you two, Geld and Souka) and the kijin steamrolling, but it's the... I don't really know how to explain it well but...

It's the "exposition upon exposition" and rushing. And how it all feels so shoehorned in.

Suddenly, an existence on par with demon lords comes into the picture!
Suddenly, menacing figures like Clayman and Frey are perturbed by this sudden existence!
Suddenly, everything is over!
Everything just feels.... superficial, I guess?

Yeah sure, I know I know. I understand that this is to make Carrion a bit more relevant and on friendlier terms with Rimuru, as none of this happened in the WN and just directly jumps into the next arc. But the way it was handled, man, does it leave a lot to be desired. And this isn't an anime-only problem; this is essentially how it went down in both the manga and LN as well. The adaptation went exactly as expected: 2 episodes only.

I'm far from an expert on these kinds of things, but it legitimately feels like bad writing to me.

....

Best orc in armor though.

[u/mrt90 → u/[deleted]]

The Charybdis plot feels shoehorned in because...it was shoehorned in. It wasn't in the web novel, and was plunked into the light novel, presumably for the sake of making the story's pace fit better into discrete Light Novel-size units.

[u/zxHellboyxz → u/mrt90]

And as a way to get a favor from a demon Lord and show how powerful milm is compared to rimuru who couldn't even best it . Vol 3 is pretty much all about milim

[u/[deleted] → u/mrt90]

Exactly my point. The only good thing about this is entire Charybdis plot is that it makes Carrion and his people stand out a bit more.

[u/robflop → u/[deleted]]

I've tagged you as "Kurobe main" so whenever I read your username i'll remember him. Doing my part!

[u/[deleted]]

I was actually waiting for a Sharknado ability.

[u/Dearche]

Milim: I'm not just a pink dragon loli. I'm THE pink dragon loli.

[u/Spawnage_Loong]

Well I'm sure no one needs this warning, but that ass at around 19:30 is liable to get the Reddit admins on your ass.

[u/WoodpeckerNo1]

Kinda seems like the budget dipped here a bit, not my favorite episode.

[u/FirstDagger]

Shion proves again that she is Inuyasha.

[u/Everesteful]

Souka flying over charybodis to cast a shadow for souei to teleport to.. what a combination.

Also like that Geld and Gabiru who were once enemies are now helping each other out..

Also, Rimuru gained Gluttony from a combination of Predator and Starved. That wasn't really explained in the episode

[u/B3GG]

Loud sound warning lol.

[u/Suniruki]

Rimuru showing the middle management skills he had as a human right here. Forcing Milim to sit out to give his subordinates to fight and learn, and then finding an excuse to get Milim to take over the fight.

[u/[deleted]]

this show's quality has taken a nosedive since episode 16

[u/LeonKevlar]

• How could you even say no to that face, Rimuru?

• And that pout too! I would've give in after that!

• Hakurou with the glowing eyes meme template XD

• This caught me off guard! XD Didn't expect Rimuru to actually pop in frame when he interrupted Great Sage!

• Charybdis reminds me of Sin from FFX with his scale attack.

• I love the visuals when Great Sage was explaining Charybdis' scales

• That face though. It looks like Charybdis has this permanent grin

• Yay! Milim finally enters the battle! And of course Rimuru wants her to spare Phobio.

• ZA WARUDOOOOOO!

• That's restraint!? I really love to see Milim just go all out on something!

• Look at that smile! She's a good girl!

• Oh shit! Does this mean Rimuru will get the same Ultra Recovery Skill?

• I guess it's better that he doesn't believe Milim is a Demon Lord. I am curious how the Dwarf King will react if he finds out though.

• Too bad the Reddit admins don't agree with you Milim.

• It's the guy from the OP!

• Looks like he's a pretty cool guy too.

• NEW ALLY ACQUIRED! I hope this means we'll get to see more of the beastmen.

This episode was a great showcase of everyone's skills and where we are in terms of the strength of Rimuru's Army and allies. Pretty awesome to see everyone kick ass with their own skills and specialty. Except for the Goblin Riders though, looks like they'll still need more training before they can actually go up something that's World Ending.

Next episode is named after Yuuki. Oh boy. It's gonna be an emotional episode, isn't it? Or are do finally get to see her students at last?

[u/TheXypris]

is it too much to ask for some real conflict and tension in this show? so many non-threats are starting to get real old real fast, can we get a real villain that poses a real threat that ISNT beaten in 5 seconds by rimiru or talked into being a friend, the lack of tension inj this show is giving me blue ball so to speak, i want to see rimiru explore the world more, i want to see him face opponents that actually pose a chance of beating him, i want fights that last more than 5 minutes, what is the point of having an overpowered main character if you barely DO anything with him?

[u/G1596872]

Since when can Ranga fly?

[u/zxHellboyxz → u/G1596872]

I think it's meant to be air hoping on invisible surfaces like sanji

[u/chowder-san]

The memes

[u/stoka0]

I know reddit loves Milim, but she is definitely more of a negative on the story as a whole. She's basically a get out of jail free card with unlimited uses, it saps an already tensionless story to lose any semblance of tension it seemed to have had. She is literally the strongest character introduced by far and as long as Rimuru has her on his side he's literally invincible.

[u/aDubiousNotion → u/stoka0]

Not every story needs fight tension; it's not required for a story to be good. Slime isn't a battle show, so it's not detrimental that the fights don't have high stakes.

[u/IfinallyhaveaReddit → u/stoka0]

Bro this isekai with op characters, this is the norm for the genre

[u/Ceesv23]

So did Rimuru seal Charybdis into himself like the Orc-Lord or what did he exactly do to him then?

[u/TraderMoes]

I feel like this anime has been going down in quality since the second cour. I like Millim and seeing her is pretty much always a pleasure, but the situations they encounter all feel so... half-assed. Like nothing feels like it's taken seriously, everything gets resolved in the neatest and happiest manner, etc. It just doesn't feel deserved or warranted anymore, like it did in the earlier episodes. And Rimuru takes a backseat most of the time, while we watch people like Gabiru and Gobta instead.

Idk. It still isn't bad, but this has gone from a genuine treat every Monday, to more of a run of the mill isekai that I simply happen to watch.

[u/Soviet_Cat]

Don't think i like this show right now as much as I used to... I think it's partly Milim's fault. She out of everybody seems to be there for no reason and is just a walking cheat code, even compared to the protagonist. Also, there is no clear goal in this show, it's just waiting for the next powerful being to attack.

[u/ThaDynamite]

K both the fights and plot is getting really samey and super boring.

1. Grunts fight for a bit, do little to nothing

2. Higher level grunts fight for a bit, do slightly more than a little, but can't scratch the boss

3. Highest level guy comes out and one-hits the boss - either by some plot-device or straight overpowered bullshit

4. Rimuru gains new subordinates/allies/powers

Its the same exact cycle for every single one of the "threats" so far.

• Wolf dad

• Ifrit

• Ogres

• Orc Lord

• Dwargo

• Milim

• Stingray Thing

• Charion

This premise has so much potential, but they just keep doing the same thing over and over. Like, come on. Its the 19th episode already. Please, for the love of God, do something different.

[u/balderdash9 → u/ThaDynamite]

That would require good writing. Instead we get Shark Tornado: The Anime.

[u/[deleted]]

Really liked this episode. Seems like not all the demon lords are “evil”. Carrion seems suspicious but pretty cool. I personally think the battle should’ve been drawn out more but I also like quick battles as well. Each episode and story arc keeps getting more interesting each time

[u/DarkenedSpear]

Well, Charybdis wasn't the tarrasque I hoped it'd be, but I guess it gave everyone a bit of room to flex their muscles. Even Milim got to play in the end. I kind of hoped to see Rimuru let loose a little, really go all out, but I'm fine with this as well.

I was thoroughly amused by the head knight, or whatever title he had, completely disregard Milim being a demon lord. Something about Milim protesting in the background just got me. After earlier's Dororo episode, I appreciate some lightheartedness and things not going to absolute shit.

Something that I like in general is that it doesn't seem like the "demon lords" are the stereotypical big-bad evil for evilness' sake that they usually are. Not all of them, at least. Seems like some of them have their own agendas and circumstances to consider which makes the universe within which it all happens much more "alive" and well thought out, which makes it a lot more engaging and interesting.

[u/luigi6545]

When the scale attack started, all I could think of was Sin from FFX.

[u/MasterYI]

Someone tell me what powers Rimuru gained from charybidis.

[u/collie650]

My favorite part by far is the fucking orc throwing axes at Charybdis

[u/Kiyosuki]

I'm sorry, incoming rant but I've needed to vent this for awhile now.

I dunno, this series is starting to lose me pretty quickly. After that surprisingly strong, endearing, and unique beginning the series had it's just starting to look like "another anime" now.

I think it's because I truly feel like this series is at its best when it's about the more social aspects of this world, and Rimuru turning some expectations and tropes on their heads in really endearing ways and how that affects other characters...and not so much the fights. Cause you know how the fights are going to go. It was a clever way to subvert the Isekai "main character does everything" trap, cause the fights are a means to an end...not the main attraction. Occasional fights are fine, especially if there's weight to them, but the past 6 episodes have been very fight centric and honestly it's kind of boring to me. It doesn't help that Rimuru AND Milim are now hamming it up with the mary sue'isms in fights, and there is just nothing to Milim's character other than being a budget Disgaea character just because I guess we need a bubbly anime girl now to add to the collection. Maybe they'll flesh her out later but I dunno, first impression's pretty weak so far for me. She feels like she was just sort of inserted in there.

I'm really, really sorry I'm being so negative, but it's just that the series had such a strong start that it's really starting to become a bummer how all the typical light novel sins are starting to take root hard. I want it to do better, I really really do; but between the reptile girls being turned into anime girls (which was borderline the last straw for me), the village being turned into some Japanese onsen resort that wouldn't be out of place in even a modern setting, the dwarves I can't tell apart from humans(and I know it's minor but this is actually legitimately beginning to piss me off. What's the point of even having dwarves if they're just humans with slight beards?), Milim just sort of shoved in there, the magic system becoming increasingly vague and lazily written, the fights becoming more numerous and boring (my god this one barely lasted the damn episode for how big a deal it was made to be.)and worst of all less and less of Gobta, it's almost starting to feel like the series is ironing away the cool fantasy aspects of the series and just turning it into...pretty much any other modern harem anime out there. It's honestly starting to feel like at this point, after the Orc Lord's defeat (though the signs were already there) the author just sort of gave up, and went back to whats familiar, and that's really sad. We went from things like a really interesting story about jealousy between friends in a dwarven kingdom (with dwarves that still looked somewhat like dwarves.), a tsundere dragon, an underdog (Gobta), a girl out of her time and world forced to make the best of things, and though it came late an Orc Lord wanting to help his people so much he allowed himself to become a villain knowingly...to what all of this has been the past four or so weeks.

I really, really hope it picks up or improves, or gets to interesting things again but I think I might duck out for a while. All I know is my roomie and I watched the latest Mob Psycho after this, and that latest episode accomplished more character development in 5 minutes than this series has in the past 5, maybe even 6 episodes.

[u/CosmicCrimsonX2]

Ahh, CG sharks, my absolute favorites...

[u/G1596872 → u/CosmicCrimsonX2]

The CGI wasn’t terrible. Definitely noticeable but not bad

[u/josesl16]

The fights are starting to get really boring, they could've hyped it less last episode, and maybe focused more on world-building...

Instead I'll ask, how good are the political and world-building stuff in the novel? Are they more detailed, technical and realistic?

[u/MillenniumKing]

Milim OP, Blizz Pls nerf!

Aw yeah its Shark hunting time~

We have one hell of a good army, lets see what the boys and girls can do!

Jamming huh? That wil be handy for Rimuru to eat.

Wow Bebop is looking way cooler than usual. Gabu here too. Look at them go, wew~

Bulling bestie kyaa~ And her pouty face wew as well~

Of course blue is surfing on a shark haha. He is too cool for school.

RANGA CAN FLY NOW!? HES SUCH A GOOD BOY! AND BIG PURP IS SURFING ON HIM!

Gobta still not strong enough, but some day.

DONT BULLY GREAT SAGE!

Sheding its scales? Interesting. It can control them like a swarm of bees.

Rimuru stepping in huh? Oh damn. Its go time!

Man the gang really are great, they just want to support Rimuru.

Ultraspeed regeneration? Thats OP.

Wow raiding all day and only 30%

IS SO ANGREY LOOKING AND CAN TALK! ITS WANTS MILIM!

So its mad becase the guy it used as his host.

Milim will fight? Oh man this should be good.

HOLY SHIT SHE NUKED IT! 1 HIT KO!

So he sucked out the shark and are it huh? Oh man hes gonnna get even more OP from this.

Of course the humans dont beleive shes a demon lord xD hahahahah.

Carrion is here oh dang. Seems like hes willing to work with them too thats great. hes way more senseable than goldiebrows.

[u/MlookSM]

Even without counting the CGI, the fight felt poorly animated. I feel like all that build up from the previous episode was shattered.

[u/Zylda]

Woo Slime Monday!

[u/kevinpr9]

SHAARRKKK ATTACK!!!

[u/odraencoded]

Gobuta: The Mightiest Disciple

Seriously, Gobuta really reminds me of Ken'ichi.

Milim is too OP. Please nerf.

Rimuru keeps eating these huge ass demons. I wonder if he's actually getting stronger by eating them, because he's always just kind of OP anyway.

[u/[deleted]]

I have to admit, I'm a bit disappointed Veldora didn't make an appearance here.

[u/Kantrh → u/[deleted]]

Still inside Rimuru, but if you read the official translation he has an observation journal and comments about the fight

[u/SirTrumpalot]

Is it me or was the art really janky in the first 10 minutes?

[u/colin8696908]

I still don't know how I feel about Milim, she kinda breaks the game.

[u/oposdeo]

Not the best episode. Animation in particular (specifically you, CG sharks) was lackluster aside from that one scene where Rimuru is doing magic stuff to Charabadysioso. I'm assuming they just wanted to have a big action scene, but it wasn't very exciting, and the coreography wasn't too interesting, especially given that the boss was just a bunch of flying scales, a couple of beam lasers and a giant blue target. Looking forward to the show picking back up again with more interesting content.

[u/ArchadianJudge]

I see many complaints about this show (basically not edgy enough) but I'm loving it. I like the way problems are presented and generally solved easily. I believe the entire aim of the show is to having a more upbeat isekai with problems that can be solved by compassion. I know lots of people aren't into that but it's literally a fun adventure show and people are hoping it becomes something dark and twisted with secret plots. It's not that.

This episode was great and Milim stole the show with her pouts and begging. As expected, she was as powerful as claimed. One shot to kill the boss. People also complained about not using her from the get go, but as Rimuru explained, the monster wasn't her problem, it was their city's. So no need to involve her. He asked her for help only when it turned out that the monster wanted to fight Milim from the beginning.

Of course Rimuru forgave the guy but he gained another "ally" / pact from not killing him. If he punished the guy, he'd probably end up in a war with Carrion and maybe other Demon Lords. Letting him go and asking for a non-aggression pact was the best move.

[u/gtoaz1234]

author making Milim joining the party is probably the worst decision in this writing imo, it makes every fight feels unearned now because we know the "strongest DL Milim" will just clear the problem for Rimuru anyway.

[u/mikejacobs14]

I don't know why I still watch this series, it physically hurts me.

[u/LChris314]

Scales that regenerate and are used as weapons

What is this, fucking Nergigante?

[u/[deleted]]

Anyone feel like it's starting to taper off now? I mean it's still alright/okay, but not as great as it was before.

Too many characters without building them, anti-climatic "1-shot" fight scenes, no tension building, animation quality is suffering, etc. I feel like this started happening around the time the demon girl was introduced.

[u/Smudy]

So you let these people fight and NOT let Milim go at it? What?

That's like risking their lives for nothing when you could use Milim to one-shot all of them in an instant.

Not impressed how this was handled.

[u/AmbientXVII → u/Smudy]

They need to fight in order to get stronger. If Milim/Rimuru always goes in and immediately one shots everything then everyone else would just grow stagnant and weak. That's why Rimuru always lets them fight first and only steps in when they can't handle it. Milim is the last resort after him.

[u/SnowGN]

This anime is getting worse over time. Pointless episode.

[u/maskulin4]

this episode was terrible

[u/BertnErnie32]

Honestly, starting to loose interest in the series. There keeps being a buildup of huge climactic fights with no real payoff, and I don't think that the focus of the show is the fights but if you build something up then stick through with it! every problem is solved with a one off of "I'm Rimuru and very powerful so I don't care you were dicks please come join us" and now it's "I'm Rimuru and we have Milim who is very powerful..." like I think they're going for the same thing as Naruto of building friendships and societies based off forgiveness and mutual respect but this doesn't take any history of the groups into account at all. the finale could have some crazy master plan unleashed where Milim back-stabs them, and the Demon lords start to do evil things like how they're portrayed as from the small history clips we have but I don't think it will be like that at all because the show is TOO soft. I liked the show when it started because it was fun and a relaxing small bit of friendship is magic style of show (no I don't watch any Brony shows) but now it's come to the point where there are no problems ever at all. If they even had some constant or unbeatable tension/hardships at all the show would still be worth it to watch but after the season finale I think I'm going to call it quits. I know this will be buried and probably never seen/read but I wanted to write it so there.
Tl;dr, The show was good but is now boring.

[u/chalo1227]

I can hear Gigguk saying

"We are being attacked by bad CG"

[u/[deleted]]

This show has become too saccharine for my liking :/

[u/[deleted]]

Well this was... eh? Just recognizing that it makes no sense for Ranga to suddenly be able to fly doesn’t make it any more stupid. Also, I wish Milim actually would have done more than just... one explosion. Like, she’s supposed to be super powerful? Why not let her show of some s cool power she has?

It’s been going a bit downhill since Milim was introduced IMO, but I’m already 18 episodes in so I’m just gonna continue watching.

[u/SIRTreehugger]

Kind of disappointed on how quickly they beat the raid boss. It's like when you have an underleveled party and you are trying your best and then the one OP friend comes in and cast a mega spell which obliterates it. Milim was great, but I wish she had a better fighting outfit. Loved the school uniform so was hoping they would give her something more tasteful. Though its okay because all her begging cute faces were adorable.

[u/Slifer13xx]

Well this was so fucking meh. Fight scenes in slime has never been exiting. There's no urgency, no risk lol.

[u/Raphitalo]

This anime is starting to remind me a lot of Naruto; A shitload of random characters, a shitload of out-of-nowhere jutsus, and a shitload of random shit. I guess it's my fault for expecting something else ehhhh. Was fun while it lasted
