Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken 3rd Season Episode 6 Discussion

Man, look at that score distribution. People were expecting the show to finally go full battle shounen and got blue-balled hard with more buildup instead xD

So this Rozzo family and that merchant dude will be the new antagonists, huh? Honestly, I doubt they become a major threat to Rimuru and co. so at least I hope they're better written than Clayman.

You do realize that saying “6 weeks of meetings” and “1 episode per week” are completely different things ?

6 weeks of meetings means 42 days of meetings, that is 1,008 hours of meeting time

6 episodes, 1 per week, is 6 half hour or 30 minute shows, which equals about 3 hours meeting

In the show, it could be about a weeks time for the meetings.

So next time be clearer on what you mean.

@ejleon Oh I live in the real world where real time passes, not in the anime where after 25m my life gets put on pause until next week.
Does that paint a better picture?

@MaiqtheCapper I waited for a response, and this was the best you could come up with, while missing my entire point, please stop wasting my time.

Well, this is shit. I love slime isekai but christ, this is the worst anime of the season. So Hinata will arrive in 2 weeks, so definitely looking forward to at least 2 to 3 more episodes of nothing happening..... Great.

@ejleon I didn't miss the point, I think you missed mine. Also you waited for me lol. Jeez youre so patient maybe this is why you're defending it so hard.
I never really tuned into slime this season because I was super interested anyways, so it's not like I'm counting the minutes til the next episode every week, but; c'mon.

Regardless, even if next episode is the same thing, ill drop it til it finishes then binge the rest, and will probably watch another season, so it's whatever. at least im honest with myself

@Jojoringo this is pretty much what happen to my hero academia since season 4 and 5 gave us like 50 episodes of mediocrity completely tanking any positive reception first 3 seasons. But it is arguably worse here since rest of the series will be just like this season. And kodansha will keep the pace so people buy the manga to see what happens next. Anime will still continue because kodansha somehow makes the manga sell. But it will no longer have decent placement on polls nor rave in the community. It also tanks people's opinion on isekai in general since for a long this was considered one of the best isekai

@SpiderMiles3523 The fact that an isekai like Eminence in Shadow has a better political system and world building than Slime in only 2 seasons of absolute BS without taking itself seriously is really concerning for an anime like Slime that takes itself more than seriously but rely heavily on these aspects with awful storytelling of boredom and unnecessary dialogues all around. I don't even think that Slime is top 15 isekai at this point, at least if they made the story more entertaining for the viewer and made a classic power fantasy like they did in the first 2 seasons, the result would have been way better instead of that we have roundtable episode with secondary characters that we don't care about talking about uninteresting political schemes.

LOL you morons out yourselves as brainless sheep if you can't see, understand, or enjoy the significance of the discussions held here. So many pieces and plans moving forward now, so much strategy and tactical maneuvering that could change entire nations.

They were hashing their current Intelligence and information at hand, in order to figure out where to go from here. Now the plans and traps are set, now it's time to see if the strategies all parties put in place will pan through.


You think Rimuru becoming a leader of a nation was easy? He deals with several powerful allies and subordinates and enemies... they have to be smart in how they handle international relations. There's no brainless Talk no Jutsu "we'll figure things out through our fists!" here. Real world shit. And like others said... if the following episodes had no setup, we'd all just be confused and wondering what the point of the fights are, what the ultimate goals are. It'd be brainless fighting with nothing to captivate us into why we should care for the battles... nothing at stake.

I thought Slime enjoyers appreciated how intellectual and grounded the politics were in this show. Guess I was wrong. It's still only a minority that have the brain capacity and maturity to understand the significance of the moving pieces put in place now.

It's so very obvious that they are setting up for a LOT of shit to happen in the coming episodes. Betrayals, misunderstandings, huge battles with multiple fronts, instigators behind the scenes reacting in real time to what will happen, a lot of big names being killed off or changing allegiances... so many secrets being unearthed.

SMH I'm disappointed more than ever in the general anime community. This is like Vinland Saga S2 all over again.
