Considering how much I've liked the sound in the series so far, I'm really looking forward to what they do to set the atmosphere for despair and rage break Rimuru.

Yeah I wasn't expecting a sudden song there at the end, though it would have been a lot more impactful if they had committed to the idea that Myulan was singing and thrown in some mouth flap movement. As it was I got the sense that was the idea being conveyed, but the non-moving mouth just kind of muddied things up. I'm also now looking forward to what music they may have in mind for the big moments coming down the line, particularly since the music in season 1 didn't really grab me. If there's at least one absolute banger of a music/animation combo (or just a really good track) I'd consider it a big success. I'm also digging the latest chapters of the manga a lot too! It's fun to see what Benimaru's big desire was in his power-up, and I hope we get to see some details of what his skill allows him to do, similar to how we got a bit of a description of Shuna's. The manga and anime never give all the lengthy nerdy stat stuff/naming details that are present in the light novel versions of Isekai properties, but I'm hopeful we'll get some good ones down the line. By the way, my take on the current state of the manga is that Nobody really knows how much Rimuru has powered up to at this point and he'd definitely be a pain to manage in a fight, but the hidden ace up his sleeve is the massive power boost that his country full of monsters recently got. I'm sure Clayman's getting stomped before too long, but I'm kind of hoping Rimuru marching up to him with a big gently caress-off army plays a major part in how that happens.

If I stopped at season 1 when Milim left (right before the school arc), should I watch the first few episodes of S2 first, then the school arc, then the latest episode or two?

It's fine to watch the number order. It's not huge or anything, but the first few episodes just slightly rewrote the arc structure of the LN/Manga so that the school arc finishes before a couple things happen. The problems we were talking about for the story are more related to how the pacing of the story so far shows a worrying lack of foresight for setting things up. They look to be working to fix things and unless you know the other stuff it'll be fine with the slight modification to order of events. It's probably better if you're anime only to just watch the stuff in order, otherwise there might be super slight, very minor, only technically existing, confusion about the school stuff they do at the beginning of the season.

The first 4 episodes were pretty much filling in the major stuff they glossed over. 5 was more or less what should have been happening from the end of season 1. Since they're pretty close to the manga and they spent a third of the first cour on catch up, the pacing should end up a lot better. Especially since several of the behind the scene players seem to have been rather unhappy with season ones's pacing.

I know some people dropped this anime as this season started because the first few episodes were largely nothing happening. And they wondered if they just had bad taste if they continued watching.

I mean, to be fair, the level of "nothing" happening was pretty standard for the first season. There is a pretty clear cycle of low level loving around world building, followed by escalating action stuff, which leads into a big ol' party that then leads into low level loving around world building.

Did this anime just do a Madoka? Current ep spoilers: I mean clearly Rimiru isn’t going to die even though he took that 7th hit. I could totally see some people from the village being dead dead. I’m guessing who/how many people are dead will determine the incoming big mad power up.

Did we just now actually reach the cut off point of season one or did Hinata keep stalking Rimuru for some time?

Welp, guess the term of the lease is up.Lurking Haro posted:Did we just now actually reach the cut off point of season one or did Hinata keep stalking Rimuru for some time? Everything that happened this season other than the attack on Tempest and this episode's fight are things that happened before Hinata was lurking behind a tree at the end of Season 1. Well, I guess the attack happened just before or as she was credit lurking.

Forgot to mention but the second volume of Trinity in Tempest is out in your favorite retailers. https://tensura.fandom.com/wiki/Trinity_in_Tempest_Volume_2?file=Trinity_Manga_Volume_02_EN.jpg Can't get image working. Also this one crosses over with the Diaries spinoff where you see the three of them in the background from time to time or events from one get referenced in the other. doomrider7 fucked around with this message at 06:14 on Feb 17, 2021 |

Purdy looking pictures and "Veldora's Observation Diaries" in which Veldora and Ifrit MST3K the events of the given volume. There's also some lore bits in those like insight into Veldora's and Ifrit's loves before meeting Rimuru. Other than that, yeah what Gyges said.

Hinata's kill in 7 hits ability is a fun reminder that any "I only need to hit anything X times and it dies" ability is completely overpowered bullshit. Obviously the assassin squad captain from Bleach's ability to do that in 2 hits to the same spot is the most ridiculous example of that type of skill. There's a biiiig stretch of the Bleach manga that should have just been her soloing all kinds of opponents because she was fast enough to smack em twice in a spot quickly without taking the time to explain what her power is, or even announce her presence before trying to go in for the kill. It's also fun to realize based on how dumb Milim has seemed so far, if Hinata just walked up to her and challenged her to a sparring match without letting on about what her gimmick is, Hinata could probably kill her.

I don't know about that. Rimuru put up a decent fight against Hinata with most of his skills sealed and his power weakened. At the same time, full power Rimuru could only bribe Milim with honey to get her to stop, and she just came to play. Hinata's only real chance against Milim would be to land 7 instant hits before Milim knew anything was wrong or felt the pain of having her soul hit. I wouldn't put any money on Hinata managing that.

Yeah, Milim likes to play around, but you don't get to be as feared as she is by loafing around all the time.

I'm definitely surprised at how some stuff was revealed here, but I guess they're waiting for later to have it make more impact. Gonna be fun to see Rimuru and Tempest in full war mode, since we haven't really seen that since the Orc Lord arc and they're all significantly stronger now.

I'm kind of surprised. I was expecting this episode to end just a little bit further along, for a real week long oh gently caress. I have always liked that Puppet Master Demon Lord Clayman's title was so on the nose. Usually the bad guy doesn't get to fully embody their moniker nearly as much as ol', "It's me, Rimuru. It was me all along, Rimuru!" Clayman.
