nvm, found it. chapter 76 in manga.

but slightly different in term of exposition and there are still few scenes different from manga adaptation

----


im curious, do anime ( 8Bit ) add certain parts/scenes on their discretion is anime follow LN more than manga did?

because, im pretty sure there are multiple scenes not in manga.
and I thought manga is closest to LN ( usually ). different case for TenSura?

any LN/Manga reader and anime watcher know about this?

Manga is just a supplement to ln.... yesterday's episode is the prologue of vol 6.. but in the manga, it's split into 2 chapters.. one is 76 and the other is b/w 83-85

If it looks like I stand no chance I’ll run away and think up a new plan, but otherwise, I should see how strong it is with my own eyes, right?

so, it is legit from LN?
since there are multiple scenes a bit different compared anime/manga.

for example, last week eps, eps 5 ( i think ) about kazarem and clown troupe.

The episode is good if u were watching episodes back to back, but after waiting another week after the war was hyped for 2 episodes and then they didn't show us even a glimpse of the war, then it becomes not so good🙈🙈 now I'm not gonna watch anymore episodes until the whole season is aired cuz then i can properly enjoy the anime without waiting patiently for the next episode to come out!

Wish anime studios would release the whole season at once like Netflix 🤤
idk it might a year.

Thats cuz the anime actually has surpassed the manga,

Most likely when 8bit was working on tis EP, the manga hadnt reached that part yet...I heard they even asked for a bunch of manga rough drafts from Taiki Kawakami himself. so when there were some revisions on the manga side later on, some parts in the anime would end up somewhat different

Wow, people that paid attention to when Clayman broke a glass when his power was questioned showing his inferiority complex are rewarded when he beats the shit out of a mind-controlled character that the audience likes! Do you realize that the two really are not connected?

We didn’t need to see Clayman beating the shit out of Milim for us to understand that he is not a good guy and has serious issues. That was only done to cause a negative reaction in the viewer, driving up resentment toward Clayman and get the audience to root for him to be killed. This is the same thing that this series did in s2 part 1 with the villains there and many other anime have done to get viewers to hate their villains and desire to watch vengence enacted upon them. It is lazy because it is so easy to do and incredibly obvious.

It’s akin to a horror movie throwing in cheap jump scares. Of course you are going to jump whenever something pops out at you and there’s a loud noise, but that doesn’t mean that the movie did a good job actually making you scared with tension, atmosphere, direction, narrative significance, etc. Nobody feels good seeing an innocent character getting mind-controlled and abused, but those negative feelings toward that character doesn’t mean that the anime did a good job establishing a well-written character that you want to see lose because of their twisted goals or ways of achieving them. We didn’t need that scene with Clayman. It was already overkill since everybody wanted to see him lose already.

All that scene did was make his character that much weaker by portraying him as another cartoonishly evil nut and that we should have no problems with our heroes killing. Kinda like when they had to make Rimuru killing all of those soldiers doing their jobs more acceptable by showing some of them talk about wanting to kill and rape the people of Tempest.


you missed the point lol

the reason clayman is happily beating the shit out of milim is likely cuz he's been pressured and mocked as a "rookie" by her, myb for centuries. did you miss what he said to her?

its pretty realistic, it happens to ppl who have lived in society for years. I mean, have you been under pressured in your job and also having the boss who's shouting how incompetent you are everyday? lol
thats exactly what happens to ma boy clayman, poor guy... he also could only numb himself by drinking every night... it must be rough being a demon lord

btw isnt raping considered as "normal" thing in war?

why are you so suprised?

not to mention, falmuth soldiers are planned to rape "ppl" (tempest denizens) who are not protected by the laws

iF they didnt even plan to break the laws, why would you call em "cartoonishly evil nut"? it makes zero sense lol

I think it is you that missed my point. You are looking at these examples from a narrative standpoint and using what the anime told you for reasons why they occurred. I already know those reasons. What I am criticizing is WHY the soldiers saying those things and Clayman abusing a helpless Milim occurred.

The writer had a reason for doing so - to get the audience to hate those characters and groups of people. Because it feels so obvious, I do not feel that these moments have any actual significance to the characters. If you cut these moments out of the anime nothing changes. The only thing that changes is that we don't want to see them die as much. This means that the viewers question Rimuru's actions when slaughtering 20,000 soldiers (god forbid any moral grayness is added to our hero) and when he does the things he will do to Clayman and his followers.

It is lazy writing because there is no weight to those actions and it is just an easy way to relate a negative emotional response to a villain(s). Well written villains do not need to rely on this crutch.

Well after the absolutely tedious borefest the 1st 4 eps were, these last 2 eps have been interesting enough . The dialogue and exposition have been intriguing .There is atleast some sort of tension to it , and the dialogue is finally something that is elevating the drama and conflict , rather than the side characters just sucking rimuru's dick the whole ep .


I wont mind if the rest of the season consisted of content like this ep .

ouh yeah, forgot the part Clayman beating Milim. I'd skimmed manga from chapter 74 to latest 86 just now.

didnt see the part he beating milim. not excessively like anime at the very least. which involcing kicking and shoving down to floor

Holy crap I have never been this bored watching an anime. I know the buildup is necessary but 6 episodes of just talking is completely ridiculous. The end of the season needs have some of the best fights ever seen to justify this.

I'm slowly getting really annoyed at the amount of talking. 2 hours into this 2nd part of the season there has been 0 action. I don't mind a little bit of setup, and I actually like the plot too but this is too much. Also, from the title of next episode "The signal to begin the banquet" i get the feeling that once more it will just be an episode of talking.
sorry if I was rude..
but you are really mindless one,

Tensura is not an action and shounen anime. It's just a normal worldbuilding fantasy story. Some fights just became a part of this series because they are needed. Even in the LN 8-9, it's shown that it completely focuses on world-building!


You are correct! Since it's my own, personal opinion, it is indeed very rude to describe my post as mindless. It's not a shounen or action anime, but it's not a political anime either!

The show probably won't get good until around episode 9 which is absolutely ridiculous, they've truly butchered this cour imo.


I'll do whatever I want. Also, I can't watch future episodes yet since they haven't come out yet so you are correct: I can indeed not know what will happen in the next season yet.

Well, as if the season 3 well be ever announced. Since Kodansha well strike a copyright thing if the anime starts to leaving the manga behind. That's what the other senpai says.

You ask me why?

because thats what soldiers Would Normally say and do in War

Have you heard this thing called ianfu (慰安婦)? its pretty popular back in WW2

japanese army were legit almost destroyed themselves just because they had too many iykwim during WW2, it may sound ridiculous but it legit happened

does that mean the tragedy of ianfu (慰安婦) during WW2 was like...lazy writing written by god? lol youve gotta be joking

so Id argue, falmuth soldiers were in fact better than japanese soldiers during WW2

falmuth soldiers were facing a bunch of monsters remember? tempest denizens are obviously not protected by humanitarian law, so its definitely legal to subjugate em all

there's also the fact that most of humans in slime world have been bullied by monsters for generations

Ive already answered the reason why ma boy clayman blew up on milim. and like I said once again tis moment also happens a lot in our society. a junior who has been bullied by his senior or boss, finally blew up out of proportion

does that mean its another lazy writing written by god? stop joking around bruh lol

Loved getting to see some new characters, but a little upset they’re shoving Claman under the rug as such an obvious bad guy that’ll lose. Gimme that ambiguity man. Other than that though, it’s great.

Really liking the dialogue b/w Leon and Guy. They got me fantasizing about what Walpurgis and after will be like lol.

It says something that I can still be passionate about this story despite a few consecutive episodes with lots of unnecessary and repetitive dialogue. It’s a really freaking good setup for a story.

Most anime don't have the characters discuss false information like that out of fear of confusing the viewer.

How can you be missing what I am saying again? When I say “WHY the soldiers saying those things and Clayman abusing a helpless Milim occurred” I am referring to a writing sense.

I am aware that soldiers do unspeakable things in war and the reasons the anime gave for Clayman’s hatred toward Milim. But, Clayman’s outburst against her and the soldiers’ comments serve NO PURPOSE aside from quickly getting the audience to hate them more. It doesn’t matter if it is realistic in the sense that it sometimes happens in real life because there is no significance to it being there. THAT is why I call it lazy writing.

If the focus of the anime was the horrors of war and diving deep into how war brings out the worst in people, then the soldiers’ comments would likely have been better developed and more significant. That is not the case in this anime because it is used as a cheap way to get the viewers to hate them and not question Rimuru’s morality. The same applies to Clayman since him beating on Milim could be completely cut out with nothing changing and we never got enough focus on him to begin with for that to really mean anything for his character anyways.

If you reply to this comment, please address what I am actually saying. Otherwise, we don’t need to continue this discussion.

Make as many excuses for the sorry pacing as you want: it cost them a third season. I will bet my firstborn child this is the final season of the series thanks to the absolute lack of a reason to watch the anime over reading the manga.

When a studio puts attention into animating the action within a series, the anime becomes worth watching. When the adaptation is a word-fest talkathon and each season contains roughly six minutes of action, it is not worth watching.

Right now, The Idaten Deities Know Only Peace is way above season 2 of slime for me. That is saying something with how much I anticipated season 2. By all means though, call me a moron and a scrub. I will be the one spitefully laughing when this series is never picked up for a third season because viewers were turned off by the abysmal pacing.

How could it be improved?
Tell the same story in a non-sequential fashion like a grown-up storyteller. That would allow much more freedom for showing a mix of action, dialogue, and worldbuilding.

Some people like having their chains yanked. That's about the only way I can explain that, Offkorn.

Examples of anime that support my point:
HunterXHunter
Soul Eater (Despite the flaws)
One Punch Man
Jujutsu Kaisen

An anime that is mostly talking but does it right is Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. Content presented in manga form is heightened and enhanced by the features that accompany its adaptation into an anime, namely the voice acting and use of motion to convey humor.

Slime is not heightened by its adaptation into an anime.

The adaptations offer something different than the original in a way that draws viewers. Material that cannot be adapted this way has no good reason to exist as an animated adaptation.

Good Day!!


.:: In chapter 84 if you look closely in the third panel he's hitting milim. ::.

yup. hence, i'd asked if LN similar to anime in therm of clayman's aggresiveness. since, manga didnt portray that aspect.
no red eye, no anger face from clayman, no barrage of insult, etc

--

.:: Actually, in LN he just punched her and kicked her, but in the anime, they showed a bit aggressively ::.

noted. thank!

--

.:: Hmm, Mushoku Tensei is from a different studio ::.

sorry, i think i'd phrased it badly.

I'd meant the studio for Mushoku Tensei ( Bind ) and TenSura ( 8Bit ) did an amazing job in adapting the LN. Since, you said 8Bit did cover exactly what written in LN + additional details for enhancement.

For Mushoku Tensei, Bind did an amazing job as well since the pace for first cour is slower like LN and not faster like manga.
I'd just said there are similarity of quality between these studios when adapting anime right from LN's material.

and anime became slight better than manga since in both cases, i do like the anime ver instead of manga due to pacing and exposition provided.
it became nicer if you ask me

--

.:: to be clear they made a studio for this LN just to give continuously more seasons. ::.

8Bit or Bind?
since 8Bit is older studio and have dozens of anime under their belt I'd presumed you'd meant Bind?

and wow, didnt know that.
i thought Mushoku Tensei was just their launchpad anime.

didnt know they created seperate studio solely for one anime to ensure it becama a smooth project adaptation with less bureucratic issue.

yup, skipped yesterday and manga didnt show lot of parts in anime which personally I think it enhanced the exposition needed to understand the worldbuilding better
dunno why people bitching about it.

it's neccesary if you ask me.
without exposition from various individual, we reader/watcher will never know the political/intelligence strife happening post-awakening

i'd asked if LN similar to anime in therm of clayman's aggresiveness. since, manga didnt portray that aspect.
no red eye, no anger face from clayman, no barrage of insult, etc

Well, they did a bit aggressively in the anime, but what he did is exactly similar to the LN. In LN they mentioned that her lip is slightly wounded too. (just how some blood oozes out when we bite our lip)

8Bit or Bind?
I was talking about Bind.

Glad you understand it.

Clayman is a joke... seeing him treat Milim like that and thinks of Rimuru as a lowly being.. lol. I can't wait to see Milim finish him off.

Guy Crimson, Leon, Velzard, Diablo, Rimuru and Veldora... I'm looking forward to what would happen when they all meet.

i'd asked if LN similar to anime in therm of clayman's aggresiveness. since, manga didnt portray that aspect.
no red eye, no anger face from clayman, no barrage of insult, etc

Well, they did a bit aggressively in the anime, but what he did is exactly similar to the LN. In LN they mentioned that her lip is slightly wounded too. (just how some blood oozes out when we bite our lip)

8Bit or Bind?
I was talking about Bind.

Glad you understand it.
Good day...



noted. thanks again!

The third episode in a row that people told me we would get action instead of talking, only to get the 6th episode in a row of talking. But hey, at least this episode we actually got MEANINGFUL talking with actual world-building and introductions to powerful new characters.

They are also doing the same-old trope of having the villain act cartoonishly evil so that the viewers will hate them and cheer when our “heroes” kill them. It is such a cheap writing trope and I’m sick of seeing it everywhere in anime.

Next episode will probably be lots of talk too, action WILL have started by episode 9, as we will have an army fight and a final showdown.

It will all be satisfying. But if you think this is too much, maybe stop watching. Slime is a series of world building. Fights are awesome but it will focus on characters and politics and culture. Light novel 8 and 9 has like 1 fight in them, and in Anime terms, you'd have 12-15 episodes of just talking and having fun with maybe a fight here and there.

Sit down and enjoy the show, or find some other anime to spend your time on. "It's all downhill from here" depends if you like world building or not. Me personally, i'd love to see an entire season of

Make as many excuses for the sorry pacing as you want: it cost them a third season. I will bet my firstborn child this is the final season of the series thanks to the absolute lack of a reason to watch the anime over reading the manga.

When a studio puts attention into animating the action within a series, the anime becomes worth watching. When the adaptation is a word-fest talkathon and each season contains roughly six minutes of action, it is not worth watching.

Right now, The Idaten Deities Know Only Peace is way above season 2 of slime for me. That is saying something with how much I anticipated season 2. By all means though, call me a moron and a scrub. I will be the one spitefully laughing when this series is never picked up for a third season because viewers were turned off by the abysmal pacing.

How could it be improved?
Tell the same story in a non-sequential fashion like a grown-up storyteller. That would allow much more freedom for showing a mix of action, dialogue, and worldbuilding.

Damn, I think I watched different shows... I have never seen any action in them. Looks like Crunchyroll and Funimation cheated me. @Sayan_Pal do you where can I get action scenes in those mentioned anime? @nina444 help me!!

If it looks like I stand no chance I’ll run away and think up a new plan, but otherwise, I should see how strong it is with my own eyes, right?

just exposition showing us how intelligent and unassuming the slime is.


That is the 'action' in this series.

If you don't enjoy it, best to abandon ship now as it's only going to get more prominent when/if later material is adapted.

I sincerely hope not. That is, by far, the lowest of the low points in the LN.

Why is So What if I'm a Spider able to do it so much better? Come on. This is not the way to go about the adaptation. Art is supposed to do something new. If they didn't have enough to make the adaptation an improvement on either the LN or the manga, they should not have taken on the project.

New? How about this:

Two of the novels written shortly after the one this season was adapted from are wholly centered on a town festival. Meaning that a theoretical 4th season of this Anime will consist of nothing but town festival scenes.

How many Anime have you seen before that have not 1, not 2, but 12 town festival episodes in a single season?

If the town festival scenes are able to blend dialogue. character development, world building, and light action in a compelling way, I see no problem. Also, should they have a chance to reach four seasons, I think you may be surprised how the studio tasked with the adaptation will have altered their approach based on the second season's flaws.

I'll do whatever I want. Also, I can't watch future episodes yet since they haven't come out yet so you are correct: I can indeed not know what will happen in the next season yet.
Well, as if the season 3 well be ever announced. Since Kodansha well strike a copyright thing if the anime starts to leaving the manga behind. That's what the other senpai says.
they surely announce a season three later but not announce date yet.

You ask me why?

because thats what soldiers Would Normally say and do in War

Have you heard this thing called ianfu (慰安婦)? its pretty popular back in WW2

japanese army were legit almost destroyed themselves just because they had too many iykwim during WW2, it may sound ridiculous but it legit happened

does that mean the tragedy of ianfu (慰安婦) during WW2 was like...lazy writing written by god? lol youve gotta be joking

so Id argue, falmuth soldiers were in fact better than japanese soldiers during WW2

falmuth soldiers were facing a bunch of monsters remember? tempest denizens are obviously not protected by humanitarian law, so its definitely legal to subjugate em all

there's also the fact that most of humans in slime world have been bullied by monsters for generations

Ive already answered the reason why ma boy clayman blew up on milim. and like I said once again tis moment also happens a lot in our society. a junior who has been bullied by his senior or boss, finally blew up out of proportion

does that mean its another lazy writing written by god? stop joking around bruh lol

How can you be missing what I am saying again? When I say “WHY the soldiers saying those things and Clayman abusing a helpless Milim occurred” I am referring to a writing sense.

I am aware that soldiers do unspeakable things in war and the reasons the anime gave for Clayman’s hatred toward Milim. But, Clayman’s outburst against her and the soldiers’ comments serve NO PURPOSE aside from quickly getting the audience to hate them more. It doesn’t matter if it is realistic in the sense that it sometimes happens in real life because there is no significance to it being there. THAT is why I call it lazy writing.

If the focus of the anime was the horrors of war and diving deep into how war brings out the worst in people, then the soldiers’ comments would likely have been better developed and more significant. That is not the case in this anime because it is used as a cheap way to get the viewers to hate them and not question Rimuru’s morality. The same applies to Clayman since him beating on Milim could be completely cut out with nothing changing and we never got enough focus on him to begin with for that to really mean anything for his character anyways.

If you reply to this comment, please address what I am actually saying. Otherwise, we don’t need to continue this discussion.


I thought I made myself clear that I dont hate what Falmuth Soldiers planned to do, its normal in War, its also happened irl iF you want to hate or blame someone, blame and hate yourself for being myb too weak? Everything is fair is love and war. Stop being soo naive

nor did I say I hate Clayman,
he's Ma boy

iF you could only feel hate towards em, its your problem for failing to understand the whole thing

it reminds me of when so many ppl hate ma other boy Subaru (Re:Zero) for being a loser

Clayman is actualy quite similar to him, the only difference is that he's not the MC in his story lol
he's also been suffered cuz literally everyone around him is either too smart or too strong compared to him, on top of that he failed to notice thats he's actually not alone, he has friends that would gladly help him, like how he failed to notice Tear and Laplace who have been shown their concerns towards him,

Everything sounds mockeries to ma boy Clayman due to his inferiority complex,
and finally he blew up on milim, the person who's been mocking him as "a rookie/ incompetent" likely for centuries

How could you hate him?

With all due respect, I'm gonna watch what I want to watch for whatever reasons I have. I hate when the retort to criticism is "just don't watch it". There is value in pointing out the faults in a project just as much as pointing out what you love. I find enjoyment in analyzing and critiquing anime because I feel my understanding of the medium increases and thereby my reviews become more accurate.

Did Erald's group teleport back to Thalion at the start of episode? I thought in episode before this they said teleport isn't normally used to transport living beings or non-monsters. Or is it case only for large groups?

they are high elves, if you watch ep 1 carefully he mentioned that it's his homunculus and it's not his main body...
better not to skip these parts they are important... even in ep 2 homunculus is mentioned for Kagali


Oooo thank you, this explains it! I completely forgot that part. I remember Kagali is artificial body that was supposedly quite expensive. I just read manga from this episode to latest chapter and some things are different, I don't remember homunculus thing for high elves in manga. I need to pay close attention to anime anyway for all small details, they didn't even go so in-depth about whole teleportation in manga. Maybe I will try light novel eventually too.
I love these episodes with world building and all new characters, it's so good :D

Despite being another talky episode I enjoyed this a lot more than the past several ones; we finally had some new exposition and setup beyond Rimuraru making proclamations and everyone in the room just agreeing. Still not great season IMO though, and the cartoony moustache-twirling antics of Clayman was a laughably transparent attempt to build viewer animosity toward him for the inevitable fall.

Big oof, they got babygirl Milim after all. 😩 No wonder something always felt off about her fight vs. Carrion.

Yeah I suspected throughout most of the episode that it was Akira Ishida after all. 😆 Although I did recognize his voice I still couldn't help but overthink it, it's like he sounds like a very cocky/in your face version of Katsura or something.
