This anime keeps getting more adorable. Although it's real hosed up to tease that Rimuru met an adorable bee that carries around a bucket instead of showing it.

Also I want a Gabiru spin off.

I wonder how many insects and worms and stuff Rimuru ate when he was just rolling around eating everything he could in the cave. Maybe he rolled over a bee hive or two then.

Ain't nothing like Raw Demon Bee Honey, Tempest City's top roadside seller.

I kind of got the impression from her that she might be a child that ended up being reincarnated in this world and just... never grew up, mentally, but I guess that's not the case

Which actually makes her kind of unique, then, since we have a lot of characters but none of them were idiot children, that classic anime staple, until now

It was so good about it until now too, dammit. It's a typical symptom when you overwork your animators, they will start to sexualize everything they work on.

That or the animators just really like Milim and wanted an excuse to work on her for hours.

It's fine every now and then. If giving the animators some room to play, it prevents it from slipping into every episode. I just wish they didn't use the character who looks and act like a little child for it.

I saw the new figurine coming out for her on a twitter feed and it's just like "dangit japan :doh:"

That's two visual disappointments (The Gelb fight finale, this, and the Ogre's can make a third) to balance out the excellent sound direction shown. Your scales are tipping Slime! Don't let them fall over now!

This is a thread about the anime and a good 10% of the posts in it to this point are you talking about the LN (directly or otherwise). Your enthusiasm is clear, and I'm not ignoring that you've toned it back with the explicit spoilers. However, as someone who is just trying to enjoy the show as it comes and knows where to find the LN/manga thread should I have the urge, I have one request:

I wish I could be hopeful about it, but it's gotten way too normalized over there. Ah well, this isn't really the place to discuss this, since it's otherwise okay about it.

And to be fair, Shion did get some service too.

Besides that, they really pulled a fast one with the dragonnewts, I think some viewers are going to kinda miss. Also Gabiru turned purple, heh.

I can really feel Kazuma in his voice acting, it's making him even more endearing to me.

Yeah, it's one of those things you just gotta accept will happen. Same with Fire Emblem etc.
Gabiru was amazing. He's a badass winged lizardman now, but he's still a complete goober.

An uncountable number, to be sure.
I honestly don't remember what she looks like now (as in, she was part of a group shot and I don't remember which was her), while her lizard design was pretty distinctive.

everytime someone says a seasonal anime is GOAT

Just watch the best anime ever
I read both the web novel translations and manga for this series, and Milim is one of my favorite characters, and maybe it just didn't hit me as hard when seeing the manga illustrations, but her showing crack the whole episode really skeeved me out, and I've been watching anime since the 90s so I feel like I have a pretty high tolerance for this poo poo.

The crack thing? Very much yes. It's still very...ugh to me in that regard. Still think her design is incredibly good and like it EXCEPT for how they decided to go about that. The changes to the lizard people and ogres were perfectly fine with me since they were never that distinct in the manga due to the lack of color and the only lizard woman shown being Souka. Anyway, I like all of the redesigns.

I do like that he mostly just hangs around as a slime and only goes human when oposible thumbs or tastebuds would be helpful.

Drinking dairy after a nice hot soak sounds repulsive though. Good on magic world for not having coffee milk, don't fix thing that aren't broke, Rimuru.
