Humble Bundle has another Kodansha bundle up with the main manga, a slime diaries one, and some spinoff about him working in an office as a slime. There are a few other series in it too.

doomrider7 posted:The manga has a narrative. It's all 4koma, but each chapter is part of the same theme, but different POV's if that makes sense. The Christmas Chapter for instance was them prepping as well as the event itself with each 4koma being a different prep moment, reaction, etc., if that makes sense. I'd say check it out and see for yourself on websites. Yeah, I tried a couple issues and was just hopping it morphed down the line. 4koma just isn't my thing.

Yeah, I was hopping that they would use trinity to expand the series instead of diaries. At least have them show up as bit characters.

I really liked Trinity's take on the Falmas invasion too. Really made it feel like more than the tragedy of Shion, Gobta's buddy, and some mooks.

There was something just more hurtful in seeing it play out like that as well as Foss's reaction since she looked and felt so ashamed about breaking the "Do not hurt humans" rule and have be all for nothing in the end.

If I didn't just read the manga the character designs would've thrown me off. All of them are better, except Gobuzo and Shion, so I don't mind.

So I've been following just the anime, where the diaries are fun as hell and the next season picks up. Apparently Rimiru gets drat near omnipotence, is that right?

Ssssssooorrt of... When the normal season picks back up he's likely going to be flexing some real power, but it's also around that point where, in the LNs at least, it feels like the video game genre that powers the world isn't so much JRPG as it is Civ. Becoming a Demon Lord puts him in a new political arena where things aren't going to be easily solved by being an all powerful punch-lord. There's still plenty of that, but there's also a lot of international stuff (and Rimuru being a huge nerd).

Yes and no. Like 8one6 said, things go from JRPG to Civil in terms of how the world works as well as a number of characters that can VERY MUCH flex equally as hard on Rimuru in terms of power(and beyond as well) start to make their appearance. It's like how after you beat the Disk 1 Final Boss and feel like the Big Shot only to then realise that you still have another Disk or two.

Once the arc where he becomes a Demon Lord is complete, he's a top tier personal power on an individual level. Like, he was playing amateur level until the Orc Disaster, now he's semi-pro, and once he gets his official I'm A Demon Lord decoder ring he'll be in the pros. Still not an All-Star or anything, but he is at least a starter. His main issues are around the fact that Jura Forest isn't really a super power or anything, and he does have to make sure his strategic honey reserves are topped off to avert a wild Milim level disaster.

I started rereading the manga as a break between trashy sci-fi novels but this time with the Veldora short stories from the volume and it actually puts a lot of stuff in context. Like how RImuru gets the power to name monsters by constantly rolling Veldora for MP.

So with a bunch of people saying slime is very similar to So I'm a Spider, So what? I figured I'd give it a shot. Got caught up through season 2 today, though haven't started diaries. Overall I'd say I enjoy it. The animation quality is certainly more consistent than Spider, that's for sure. Our sloshy boy really powered up huh? He was already basically top dog and was just committing war crimes in the last couple of episodes, but now is something like 10x stronger? What's even going to be a challenge for him now?

It's definitely true that Slime isn't nearly as good as Spider at constructing situations where main characters appear to be in real danger, but there are other people in the setting who hold ultimate skills on the same level as Raphael and can threaten Rimuru.

Is it really War Crimes though if they were gonna War Crimes you as well as colonize and possibly genocide you and your people? To answer that second point, it wasn't as well fleshed out on the anime, but the LN and Manga make it clear that he IS stronger, but there are people that can take him and quite comfortably at that.

His ruthless skill is like literally the definition of a war crime since it relies on you killing surrendering opponents. It's pretty clear there's different levels of demon lords, given how one trounced another in the finale. Rimuru did kill like 2x as many human for his ascension as Milim did to become a DL, at least if the story is true, so he might be more powerful than her if that translates into more post ascension power. I kind of expected Veldora to be the dragon she revived as part of her ascension as well. He was locked away like the story said, but then again, he was never a wild beast with no soul.

To follow up on Grouchio, Rimuru killed x2 the amount he needed, but Milim had killed huge chunks of people in her blind rage. The dragon she revived wasn't Veldora who is actually her uncle(youngest of all True Dragons) and yeah she's LITERALLY one of the most powerful beings in the setting. There ARE people who could fight her, but it literally has no upside so they just let her do as she wants while giving her a wide berth. Edit: With regards to Demon Lords it's basically split into two categories, Proclaimed and True. Proclaimed Demon Lords are simply individuals who happen to he powerful enough to be allowed membership into the Demon Lord Council often through recommendations by and already established member or great distinction and prowess in combat. True Demon Lords are powerful beings who have performed the Harvest Festival ritual or ascended into acquiring an Ultimate Skill or both. Think Berserk and the difference between being a powerful demon and being an actual Apostle or Godhand. doomrider7 fucked around with this message at 00:44 on May 5, 2021 |

Never seen Berserk, but I'll take it to mean a bunch of them have honorary doctorates while you have the people who REALLY earned their degrees getting tenure. Not sure why the trio of demons showed up. That kinda seemed like an rear end pull tbh. What is Raphael exactly? An AI? Is this something that will be revealed later?

That's actually not a bad way of putting it yeah. The Trio of Demons showed up answering Rimuru's summon. It's an assault since the anime committee still hosed up and skipped some stuff. Some political world building and character moments when Rimuru travels to Blumund with the Adventure Trio to sign a treaty with the king. Part of it is him actually joining the guild under a pseudonym and passing with rank which included killing a summoned lesser demon. It's there where he learns how to summon them. The stuff with Raphael gets explained MUCH later.

Are the LN’s something you can pickup from where the anime left off, or was enough story critical stuff left out that one should start from the beginning? Having slogged through Spider’s early LN’s with its enormous stat blocks and endless grinding, I really wouldn’t want to repeat the experience, especially if I know more interesting things are coming later.

You can pick up the LNs from where a season stops and be fine, but I'd also recommend reading from the beginning because 1) I'm a nerd and like books 2) there are a lot of details that the anime glosses over or skips entirely.
