I do like the idea of the background of the world being more fleshed out which is typically what the light novels are good at.

To be fair, though, it also says "more representative" which can be interpreted in a way that involves choosing stuff that isn't necessarily the best. And with that interpretation, it kinda does make sense to include some isekai thing in the list, given how influential the genre has become. And among isekai, Slime is probably the most prominent.

Wasn't as cool and causes a continuity error about the slime thing though that's a minor thing. In any case, main episodes are done so as always offered, if anyone has questions about skipped content ask away.

What a weird end. Doubt it they ran out of money. I think the reason they skipped the golem naming is because they skipped how Rimuru learned "Demon Summon" in Blumund during his guild exam. As for the recap, they likely weren't allowed to move forward with things past this point since it's caught up with the manga. Most of the committee is Kodansha so a lot of the series is being made in mind of getting people to pick the manga so if you're curious what happens next, you'll have to drop some coin for it.

Weird end. As someone unfamiliar with the source material, even I could tell that things really rushed after the Orc Lord arc. Which is a shame but gives me a reason to check out the novel/manga I guess. All in all, I still like it even if it didn't nail the landing completely. That song during the recap was really pretty.

What a weird end. I think you already know, but for anyone else who hasn't read any of the source material, if they hadn't had the recap they would have had to write an even more different ending or it would've ended on a much more frustrating cliffhanger. Nullsmack posted:wait, did the anime just end then? I believe the main stuff has, with an extra episode to come. Plus whatever other stuff they're going to do later, but I don't know if anything else has actually been announced. I thought the anime started very strong, but started stumbling after the Orc Lord arc. They cut so much. A lot of it was small bits and pieces that didn't really matter, but some of them were really important, especially in this last third of the anime. (I don't think any of the following really needs to be spoiled since it's just a very light overview of some of the stuff that was skipped, but I'll do it anyways just in case or if anyone wants to read the source material and doesn't want to know.) Basically everything from the Demon Lords except Milim and Clayman, and even they got hit. I'm still really disappointed in how they handled Yohm and his group. The merchant was really weird, because none of what catches Rimuru's eye is there, so he just seemingly accepts this guy based off the merchant wanting to say thanks and paying for a meal for the kids. Last week Ramiris straight up tells Rimuru that he can just make a stronger spirit out of weaker ones, then this week is completely surprised when he does exactly that. There's the lines about summoning a demon, which have no weight in the anime because Rimuru learns how on his trip to find the kids, but that entire arc was cut. If you did like this anime and like (or want to give it a try) reading manga and/or light novels, I very heavily recommend giving them a go. I think either one is a better version, and the official translations are perfectly fine. If you only pick one, I'd say go for the manga. It's an easier read and doesn't skip any major stuff, along with some extra Veldora stuff. The LN has more little bits of world building and a few minor events that didn't make it to the manga, plus more of Rimuru's internal monologue. The official manga translations end just after the Charybdis fight, with the next volume out tomorrow. (After stopping just after the anime started... Hmmmm...) The fan translation for the manga and the official LN release are just a little farther than the anime, basically the point it would have ended on if they hadn't had the recap/rewrite to make for a less frustrating ending. In a more light-hearted direction though, the artist that did the illustrations for the LN, Mitz Vah, posted some art of the kids today: https://twitter.com/mitz_vah/status/1105127824648626177?s=19 Onean fucked around with this message at 19:58 on Mar 11, 2019 |

I feel like around the Charybdis arc the anime lost its charm and started rushing headlong over itself to get us to where we concluded Still enjoyed it, looking forward to the omake stuff/eventual OVA

I don't disagree, but I think the issue is the same as One Piece where the source material is so overwhelmingly popular, that the quality of the anime can be mediocre and it'll STILL sell*, that and ultimately we aren't the target market, Japan is. *The quality has been amazing in terms of animation and VA since EVERYONE involved loves the source material and they all actually wanted to do a more comprehensive take, but we'll yeah. Edit: Mitz Cat's art is awesome. I'd LOVE to see a crossover between him and Gorillaz which is not out of the question since he's a HUGE fan of British punk bands and the such. doomrider7 fucked around with this message at 21:16 on Mar 11, 2019 |

So now that the anime has "ended", I'm thinking of picking up either the manga or the LN. I usually prefer mangas since I'm a pleb who prefers pretty pictures over walls of text, but I was wondering which of the two expands on the story more than the anime did. I've really come to love this series and the world it's building so I want to see as much of it as I can.

The skipped Demon Lord meeting scene was better there since you get each Demon Lord's internal monologue and Milim's is legitimately fascinating in how it completely changes how she comes off.

I think I had the most fun with the first half of this series (also, every decision made in regards to sound design). Plot-wise, the conclusion of the Orc Lord arc and everything after was underwhelming at best. Whenever it focused on nation-building or protecting the nation or Best Boy Ranga it was all right. I think my greatest problem is that I never felt any attachment to Shizu, nor was I very invested in Rimuru honoring her wishes. She just came across as an excuse for an otherwise content Rimuru to do things. This last arc felt particularly forced. As for this episode: seeing Rimuru look genuinely freaked out for once was great. Other than that, this episode wasn't very good.

Overall the current issue CAN be fixed a bit by way of a second season detailing the events that were skipped and adding spinoff material. A whole new series wouldn't be out of the question, but that's still a ways off.

If you bounce off it (it is the early work of a relatively inexperienced writer that was then translated into a different language; while it's good there's still rough patches) I'd say give the manga a try. There's still a good bit of detail there, plus the bonus Veldora chapters.

This was not exactly worth watching. "We made our product poo poo to entice you to look at our other product!" yeah no... Even if I ignored such a slimy move the poor quality doesn't make me want to get more of this at all. It has quite the opposite effect.

It's a perfectly reasonable response, which is sad because I don't think the series deserves it. It could have been so much better if they just slowed way the gently caress down and chose to end the season after the events following Charybdis, which has a pretty natural spot to wrap things up after interacting with the Beast Kingdom and the return to the Dwarven Kingdom. It's honestly where I thought they would end when I heard they were making an anime. Then if they decide to do a second season they have the kids' arc and its lead-up to ease into the next major conflict. With how they did things, if we get a second season they have no source material that isn't out of order so they either have to move things around and rewrite them or immediately jump into the toughest situation Rimuru has had in this world so far (though this is as far as I've read, not having read the fan translation of the LN, so I don't know exactly how things follow up but I do have a loose idea thanks to some minor spoilers I've seen and one of the spin-offs). Edit: I should say that even though I'm being pretty negative I do think this was an okay anime by itself, this latest episode aside, and a lot of people who haven't read the source material seem to like it quite a bit. I just don't think it was nearly as good as it could have been. Onean fucked around with this message at 12:54 on Mar 12, 2019 |

I was thinking it would end just after Charybdis and Milim leaves with the scene from the Manga where Rimuru has a vision of Shizu and remembers his promise to her. Would have been a perfect point to stop in my opinion. https://twitter.com/ten_sura_anime/status/1105305074085986304?s=09 More on that Tensura x Sanrio stuff.

The LN straight up DETAILS how he developed stuff like the roads, the plumbing, the carriages, and even his booze(he actually creates Whiskey and Brandy) or even instant hot water. Those things are really good and clever bits of world building since it shows how these seemingly mundane things have these massive technological snowball effects, ditto for his political dealings(he gets mildly screwed in one deal and fucks himself royally in another trying to be a smartass).
