Part of it is that were coming up on a major character change that's been heavily foreshadowed/spoiled in the shows op/ed, Rimuru's human form. To be fair the manga spoiled the same thing with both its cover, and a prophetic dream sequence on the very first page. Once we're past that I think the spoiler talk should return to a nominal level.

Psst... Those other folks in the op hanging out with Rimuru? He makes friends with them too. And so grows goblin/wolf/dwarf village.

Yeah, just yesterday I thought I was spoiler free and after randomly browsing through some of the tankobon covers I was like “Oh. drat it.” So if anyone else wants to remaking spoiler-free as an anime-only, don’t look at the manga covers!

Spot on with the sun thing. I don't follow most threads here, but the Attack on Titan thread doesn't post manga spoilers, and presumably it's the same people frequenting the whole subforum, so I don't know why this thread is a minefield of manga spoilers. All the tags make it impossible to tell which are courtesy tags for the brand new episodes. It probably doesn't matter much since this show doesn't seem to be plot twist driven, but still.

Something else I like about this is that Rimuru being a pretty stable working adult with some degree of managerial experience before getting isekaied makes the society development and trade aspects more believable, along with him handling things with more maturity than the average isekai protagonist. Granted he's still kind of a horn dog (riding a horned dog), but him being a leader isn't much of a stretch compared to an angry teen.

It really builds upon it when he reflects on his real life experience that helps him in a given situation, whether its dealing with his juniors at work or entertaining his bosses. Its a nice touch that reflects the past life, something most isekai throw out the window as soon as the protagonist is in the other world.

I can appreciate folks who're only interested in the anime not wanting to be spoiled, but the thread isn't active enough to merit being split. Clearly marking any black bars as Manga or LN sounds like a reasonable compromise.

We're not really discussing current manga chapters, so not much need for a manga only thread. The manga spoilers in here seem to mostly be manga readers thinking anime watchers will want to know what's going to happen. For what it's worth, my memory of the Attack on Titan and several other shows threads were pretty similar unless/until a firm "stop giving spoilers, no one wants them" message was given.

My admittedly awful opinion is that spoilers are awesome. I'll often read a synopsis before watching or reading stuff to see if there are any major dealbreakers lying in wait. I'd rather know the broad strokes going in than be surprised by any distasteful twists. I'm a weirdo

it seems like they're mostly being used to tag actual spoilers but like someone else mentioned, there's no differentiation being made between what is an ln spoiler or manga spoiler vs people just putting things in tags because ??? so we could reiterate that there seems to be no need to post spoilers 99% of the time but if you do, denote what it's for. also people shouldn't really need to "courtesy tag" anything in the newest episode since by now we're all aware that Monday is when this thread gets active with that stuff. i steer clear from the thread until i get a chance to watch the episode myself usually.

The manga is really sparse with her in general, which is odd considering her impact on the story. Like, that vivid scene where Rimuru shows her modern-day Japan is a single page in the manga. I like the anime rendition a lot more so far.

All three mediums have sort of tackled the source material a little bit differently, so there was a thing we expected to see in one episode that didn't show up, but then it happened a bit into the next episode out of nowhere. There's also stuff that were skipped wholesale in the manga showing up in the anime, leading to certain readers being a tad surprised. Going forward, anything not covered in the anime ought to be marked with a tag of where the information is pulled from. I certainly enjoy reading them since I've read up on the manga, but not the novel and seeing the difference is quite startling.

Skippy McPants posted:Question, I'm not very big into anime, how common is it for shows like this to get additional seasons? From observation, it usually seems to come down to how much fun the animation team had with the source material, since there's always other isekais to do that are also interesting. Judging by the these things, I think there's a good chance of a second season, but it ain't no guarantee. Some other posters mentioned stuff that hadn't gotten new seasons yet, but I think some are getting sequels. No Game No Life recently got a movie after all.

At the end of the day, tho'? Cipher Pol 9 posted:Fun Isekai shows? Hell, people have been waiting for One Punch Man's 2nd season for the better part of 3 years. Attack on Titan had to wait almost 4 years between season 1 and 2. Sword Art Online had a relatively quicker turnaround from its 1st season ending in December 2012 to the 2nd season starting in July 2014. Same with KonoSuba getting 2 seasons in a little under a year. TL;DR It's kind of a crapshoot, sometimes?

I think usually the long delays are because the anime is waiting for the source material to get far enough ahead for another season. I believe I've heard that Reincarnated as a Slime is already set for 2 seasons, at least. At the rate they're going that looks set to put them at least a little where the manga is now, I don't know about the novel.

Yeah, a lot of times it can be that. Again, it varies from case to case. I mean, very slight spoilers on a different series, but pretty much everything that's gonna happen on A Certain Magical Index's 3rd season (currently airing) has already been out in the light novels for an actual decade. It's the whole reason I'm mostly staying out of the SAO: Alicization thread, since I read the final novel of that arc (which I think was also the end of the OG Web Novel) two years ago.

Well, I know the original web novel is wrapped up so a lack of source material wouldn't be an impediment. I guess I'll follow the manga as it unfolds and just hope we get more show at some point, cause I definitely think it's the story's best rendering.

Cipher Pol 9 posted:Fun Isekai shows? Yeah not getting more of those shows in particular stings quite a bit for me. Re-Zero at least seemed like such a phenomenon that it really should just be a "waiting for more source material and the right team" situation more than anything. I know NGNL also was running out of runway when it wrapped and I really liked that as well, though it wasn't the hit that Re:Zero seemed to be. Usually anime based on manga or light novels end well before the other material wraps up with no second seasons or anything, I just have never picked up the ability to not be disappointed that they didn't keep going and continue the story, and when the source material is already out there in large part or fully complete then that really makes me sad. The anime my avatar is from Rokka no Yuusha ran in to the most common killer of anime with just not being popular and not selling lots of blu-rays, but man I really liked it and I'd recommend the light novel as well, though even that seems to have stalled out for a few years now. It's just like any other show I suppose, you want the stuff you like to get as much time as the creators want to tell a good story and not get cancelled, and sometimes even when they hit the ending they wanted you're like "That was only 26 episodes? What the hell I want more!"

Overlord probably only got more seasons because the anime gave a very massive boost to LN sales. These days, most anime shows aren't meant to be stand-alone but are just advertisements for the source material. Publishers don't want full adaptations, because then people won't need to buy the original work to see a story's conclusion.

Re:Zero hasn't gotten a new season yet because: 1. The author has been busy adapting his Webnovel into enough volumes to cover the next arc 2. Studio WhiteFox did not think this would be the massive hit it was and thus had no initial new plans. It's why they had the anime end the way it did. 3. There are now 2.5 OVAs being churned out in anticipation of adapting a second season (although that announcement has not yet arrived). 4. WhiteFox decided to do Goblin Slayer first. Personally I'm hoping for a Fall 2019 release, split-cour for Arc 4, which is one of the best I've ever read. Devil Part-Timer will only exist further if Netflix crowdfunds it or something. I don't know why it 'flopped' in Japan. Same for NGNL. And Overlord should've had a better budget/effort put into it so that it wouldn't have looked like CG garbage at times.

Overlord didn't have enough downtime between the second and third seasons. I was actually satisfied with the ending for Devil is a Part Timer but I wouldn't object to there being more. As for this week's episode of Slime, I kept being reminded of FFXIV's Ifrit fight, especially the part where it did the clone move.
