really a good start, I am starting to love demon guys diablo , he is menacing , and i hope that hinata( hero) is not stupid and doesn't start a fight like she did with rimuru in the previous season, if she does then i don't think I would support her .

and i am happy to see rimuru , shion , veldora ,
it was a good episode.

We're finally getting a new season, I was looking forward to it so much. I enjoyed the first episode, you can't go wrong with giving Diablo a ton of screen time. He's also finally being "recognized", as people are finally figuring out he could wipe the nation by himself but he'd rather follow the orders of Rimuru. Fridays are gonna be even better from now on for the next 8 months

ROFLMAO.

I LOVED that whole sequence where Diablo was slowly getting pissed off in the back and everyone in front of him was sweating nervously and slowly freaking out till Razen froze the one dude. LOOOOOOL

Noir's personality is creepy in a lot of ways.

Btw, the OP's animation was rather weird. It's like a low budget animation, but the ED's was better.

It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

I’ve been looking forward for this season, but the first episode is a mess. The editing is so haphazard as to make character conversations lose the weight it’s supposed to have. The director really needs to up his game.

Nice to be back in the world of Tensura for another season since Summer 2021, man that was a while ago, but I’m excited to see what this season holds and whether I’ll have anything to nitpick or not lol. First off we got a very nice OP and ED, one thing this series doesn’t miss with and they’ve got a good pairing again, Stereo Dive Foundation did the first ED of Season 2 and I also know them for the first Muvluv ED so I love hearing them again, and that ED is chill which I’m fan of, not sure if I can say I like them more than any of the previous ones but with time I might. Also based on the OP visuals we will be getting some Hinata focus this season as well as Luminous Valentine which also has me excited.

And this first episode just kinda threw us right back into it with the demon lords feasting right after what went down with Clayman at the end of Season 2, we had a recap last week so I’m glad they wasted no time here. And not long after we were already back at Tempest with the villagers simping for Rimuru as usual, but the interesting bit was when we saw what happened with Diablo and Falmuth, and I’m ngl I actually forgot about the whole Razen taking that one guy’s body so this confused me for a bit till I realized lol. And the scene was also quite comedic with Diablo’s patience being tested, I’m not the biggest fan of him but that was pretty funny. And now Falmuth only has three options when it comes to what will happen with their country with only one option being a realistic choice, and that’s pay big money back to Tempest, but hey it beats death lol.

And thankfully Veldora got his pudding at the end after Rimuru initially confiscated it, and with that we’re back in Tensura baby, I may give this series shit sometimes but it is a fun time so I’m looking forward to Fridays with this show for a whole 2 cours!

The Great Demon Lord Rimuru has returned to us with a new season!! Following his ascension at the demon lord council there's things to tidy up on the home front. The Kingdom of Falmuth which set this whole chain of events into motion must be dealt with. Honestly if not for their attack Rimuru wouldn't have needed to become a demon lord. But their transgressions have to be reconciled, which Diablo has the perfect plan to make them submit to Tempest and Rimuru rule. Completely intimidating the remaining high ranking officials that Falmuth has left. Showing them the true errors of their attack by shear scare tactics. A demon as powerful as Diablo has no trouble at all making them bend the knee to Rimuru. Coming up with a story to tell the other Falmuth officials that Veldora killed the army but Rimuru talked to him and saved just them. Naturally he would still be upset about the army attacking unprovoked and without even a messenger sent. Falmuth must choose between three options of how to proceed but just as Diablo said to Rimuru at the end of the episode there's really only one option. The king will abdicate and Falmuth will pay reparations to Tempest. Leading to the King needing a champion like Youm to help him not be turned on by the nobles. Youm being an ally of Tempest would make the Falmuth king one as well so they'll get money, they'll get say in Falmuth, and Rimuru power will only grow. This will be an exciting season!!

they're back and damn, Diablo's real scary. he's a way better "secretary" than Shion is; she's got brute strength, but when it comes to strategizing, Diablo had her beat lol It's nice to see what happened in Falmuth and to their prisoners of war. Can't wait to see more of their new adventures this season.

Tensura is back for its third season, and it’s going to be two consecutive cours back to back it looks like so hopefully a lot of good stuff to look forward to after 2.5 years of not airing I’m sure it’ll be a good time. The new op and ed are nice, but I’m not sure if they are my favorite. First episode was enjoyable. Looking forward to rest of the season

Man, it's so good to have this show back. It may have its flaws in the writing department but I won't deny that seeing this bunch of characters again do put a smile on my face.

Excellent first episode. It had everything I like: Diablo, politics, noble people shitting their pants, Milim being herself, etc.

After all this time, finally RIMURU-SAMA is back!!!!!!!!! I missed him so much and this is one of my fav animes.
Diablo is a very good character, interesting and mysterious.
Glad to see Youm and the others back!
Just thinking, I hope Shuna will appear more in the next episodes, she didn´t talk in this one,which is sad....{
I hope they won´t cut her or something like that.

Good adaptation of the conversations from the novel / manga. Only found myself skipping around once or twice in this episode. While I didn't care for certain sections of the OP I loved the ED and found many scenes from this episode rather adorable and reminiscent of the first and second season. Hope we get to see more of the Octogram's members this season as I'm sure we will.

Ah nice to have a seasonal Tensura anime back on air and much like Overlord, there are now more politics and asymmetric warfare involved. Also it really fortunate Diablo got to keep his original voice actor despite the personal drama/scandal Sakurai Takahiro had in the past few years but yeah, that is just part of the past now and it is just his personal life after all. Diablo might not be the same if he's voiced by another person.

What a curious name for the demon lords though. Having a dinner party after that confrontation with Clayman though really was nice. Pretty nice OP and from the visuals looks like we'll be seeing plenty of new faces this season. Veldora is the very defination of loose lips lol. The nobles of Falmuth really are like children though. Freezing out Carlo's should had been done from the start. Those were some pretty harsh terms for the proud nobles of Falmuth for sure. Be curious to see what Falnuth decides upon. But nice to see the cast again.

So Diablo demanded reparations of about 10 Billion dollars (assuming 100 yen is give or take 1 dollar), and paid in a coin so valuable it's like trying to pay in minted platinum bullion, only good for trading for something of equal value. I wonder what the GDP of the Falmuth kingdom is like.

@LeoDrago I still remember when That Time I Got Reincarnated As a Slime, Mushoku Tensei and Re Zero all aired in the same season back in Winter 2021, that was quite the noteworthy season for isekai anime.

Imo they’re the big 3 of isekai

Don’t forget overlord personally for me it’s above slime as I read the LN

Slime time on the same day as KonoSuba? Two of the my personal big 3 of Isekai at that? Let's fucking go. Happy to have Slime back on the tube and for two cours? Whew lad...dangerously good. However...I have to ask, what the fuck is going on with this animation? The OP animation stills looked like terrible slide shows and even some of the exaggerated bits in the show itself just felt disjointed and all over the place. 8bit, you okay bro?

Don't believe the hype.

Season 3 of Tensei Slime is back after 2.5 years since the events of Season 2 with Part 2 being the Walpurgis arc, with Clayman defeated and the Octagram Demon Lords formed by Rimuru, it's straight into Volume 7 of the LN!

Stereo Dive Foundation with a new OP, but I feel that the OPs have gotten significantly weaker from the beginning as the series progresses. Rin Kurusu's ED is nice...but that's it. Overall, the OST just doesn't catch up to its roots.

The Demon Lords having a bountiful feast, as Rimuru settles back into life in Tempest, this time being a true Demon Lord. Of course, all that information is sold by the puddings, and Diablo took care of matters while Rimuru is out. As for things in Falmuth, Diablo has that all taken care of with the last king of Falmuth, Edmaris, being taken back to the kingdom with Youm and the others.

Shogo returning as Razen to report on the situation, as well as Archbishop Reyhiem to cover the tracks and fabricate a story to the humans, and if any word goes wrong, Diablo's wrath is infused. And as promised, Edmaris is revived, but the Kingdom of Falmuth is not done with Tempest's wrath: it's either become a friend or foe in peace terms...negotiations, to be exact by 10k stellar gold coins. And the consolidation oF Faluth into Youm's forces, it actually works it out to the benefit of Tempest.

Taking things slow, this is still the heart of Tensei Slime as a whiole. Still though, I'm excited to see what's in store for this rather long season.

@KANLen09 yep i agree with you on the OP song they are good so im expecting better and hit songs next cour
Like vickeblanca, syuudou, eve, rude alpha, Reol, king gnu and Yoasobi.
Just hope stereo dive drops a hit soon they did well in the Slime movie like minda run ain't bad and the whole album was lit.

Now we just watch as Hinata sakaguchi chan and rimuru unfold another eventful scene, hopefully from former enemies based on deceits and mistakes to more than friends

I mean yes, we got the last bit of that Walpurgis event covered in the very first few minutes itself, which we know already kind of established Rimuru as the new demon lord operating. Though it may feel good, to him and his followers, but hey, then they again came back to tempest, and we kind of started the cringe stuff, which is revering Rimuru as the god. Can't bring myself to go through the same thing, and not getting bored time after time after time.

Though I like Diablo, so good that we saw his side, whatever he did when Rimuru sent him back to look over the conflicts happening in the kingdom. I mean his terror, we know, and I think after this episode, those people of Farmus kind of got that too.

Thought we’d see Hinata’s side of the story too in bigger extent, but I guess that’s for the later. This being two cour as well, kind of gives assurance that we’d see a lot.

@Softhenic03 couldn't agree more or I could actually
I feel like it's Hinata this first cour and luminous valentine for the second cour

STRAIGHT UP GOOSEBUMPS FOR ME MAN
it’s been 3 years (well 2.5 years) since season 2 and we got Stereo Dive Foundation singing the opening this time instead of the ending which is a nice change ngl and I’ll be honest the beginning of this opening is on par with the instrumental in the first few seconds of both openings in season 2 like the instrumental from 0:08 to 0:19 gives me such nostalgic vibes man I’m just so happy I get to hear and see this show once again man🥹🥹🥹😩🥹🥹🥹

We’re back to where we left off with Rimuru leaving Walpurgis and Rimuru wondering how Diablo timed himself coming back in time when Walpurgis ended and it was revealed to be Veldora’s doing hahaha it was so funny seeing Veldora sulk about bc Rimuru took his pudding away I forgot how charming and funny this show was😭

So Razen the King and the Archbishop were still alive and I did NOT know that was the result of Shion’s torture this girl turned them into FUCKING SLUDGE like jeeez but tbh it was deserved they killed the goblins and the other citizens of Tempest but it was nice to see Razen turn a new leaf that guy is pretty strong so he could be of good use I like how he pledge loyalty to Diablo serves him right haha

These fucking nobles are so stupid I can’t wait till they realized that the force they’re trying to fuck with can decimate their entire kingdom in one attack move and Diablo emanating his aura and Yuom Mjuraan and them were scared shitless when that one noble was talking reckless was so fucking funny like they were so scared that Razen just simply froze that nigga like a popsicle😭🤣😭🤣🤣🤣

I’m eagerly waiting to see how they fuck over the humans this season bc they piss me off like I can’t wait for the next episode man🤩
