Really good post explaining all(or most anyway) of the concepts of the series. Obviously there are some spoilers abound so be careful.

Legit don't know. I think cour 1 will recap the stuff that was skipped and segue into Diaries for cour 2. Cour 3 I think will be the duel and the Walpurgis Banquet, the Eurazania War, and the raid to Clayman's Castle.

It's a soft form of reality warping. She uses it for cooking, but it can "alter the correct state" of the target. Rimuru uses it to "cheat" and replicate rice from home

I remembered last season ending with a clash against the completely overpowered church woman, but I guess that was just a tease of the character showing up instead? If that had happened, then based on what I recall of the manga we'd be getting right into some big-deal plot stuff right away.

I guess this means I get to see that fight this season though, so that's fine with me! I feel like this season will just get us up to right before the recent Demon Lord meeting in the manga, though with the delay from the season being split they'll have room to go up to that and a bit further without getting ahead of the manga (which I'm sure is their preference to keep that sweet cross-media consumption going).

It's not Rimuru's style, but I'd of gotten a kick out of him showing off most of his power to the emissaries. Culturally, I feel like immediately putting them in their place would have been what they would be expecting, and I don't think it would have been a diplomatic misstep the way that pulling off big power feats in a human city would be, for example.

This feels like a pretty slow start and they have him moving all over the place. Could he always teleport? And yea, where did the paladin go?

Yeah, he can teleport with spacial magic but they glossed over it last season. As for the paladin, last season ended with her lurking behind a tree.

Which should have lead directly into the huge event of this season, but it looks like they're rearranging things to cram in some of the important stuff that they skipped last season.

This. Due to some shenanigans from one of the main financiers of the series, some really important world building stuff got skipped on top of the Anime catching up to the Manga which Kodansha was REALLY not happy with. It's why on top of going back to add the skipped content, it's gonna be a split cour with the Diaries spin-off in between.

I was wondering why nothing seemed to match up with what I remembered from the novels (and manga), but figured it was just me getting old.

At the rate they were going before, the Anime would fly past where the Anime is at right now. This format is actually pretty smart since they can go back and recap the skipped over material which had important world building and split the cour with the Diaries Spinoff which will bring attention to that Manga which is REALLY good by the way and further fleshed out the setting.

It is helped by the fact that they cut it off just early enough that they can modualize everything and do some rearrangements. None of the big driving things for the next part of the story have happened yet, and the way that the story so far works allows for a lot of playing around with specific order of events.

While big events happen right after he leaves the school in the ln/wn/manga, there is still the ability to just have slime boy just go visit the kids again like he promised. Or, since the exact location isn't super important, change the location of the trigger from outside the city where the school is to outside another city or interaction.

Hopefully they use this season to get caught up with all the world building and set up though, because it becomes harder to do this with the plot latter down the road. Not so much because everything becomes a sprint of events, but more that things become much more interconnected and it's harder to mess around with doing situation B without already having introduced the new characters and relationships from situation A.

If they actually integrate the spin-off manga stuff into the story as it happens that would be even better. Not only does help keep the interest of people who haven't read the spin-offs but it also provides more material to cover in a season which lets you appear to slow down the pace while still allowing you to burn through chapters at whatever pace you want.

Plus it makes things seem like they're wider in scope since everything happening isn't just Rimuru and a handful of side characters doing something while the rest of the nation of Tempest sits around with their thumb up their rear end.

He's got poison resistance so this checks out. That won't protect him from the tastes though so condolences are there still. I also liked how they did the fight between Youm and Myulan.

Ah okay, that does all check out then. They basically have to get up to where the manga is now, or maybe a bit further than it's at now, by the end of the 2nd cour, so I'm quite content with that. There's a very logical cliffhanger spot to leave things off at too, and I feel like things are going slow enough that it'd pretty much line up with that.

I'd prefer to get right into the action, primarily because I'm tuned in to the worldbuilding stuff from season 1 and the manga, but any amount of general worldbuilding/side plot stuff is acceptable in an episode if it means we get to see Rimuru swing by the elf cafe.
