On the subject of Gobta being the best and real cool, he does get his reward before too long. He also gets a nice sword eventually.

I liked their take on the carrot and stick motivation when Gobta fought Gabiru. If you win you'll get a shiny stick but if you lose you'll have to eat her cooked carrot.

Gobta goes through so much poo poo but he always levels up from it.

Gobta really hit the character lottery in the naming process. All those other goblins got names and turned into pretty hobgoblins but are relegated to essentially generic populace and never heard from again, but Gobta gets to look the same but be the strongest of standard goblins and be cool on the front lines and kicking both Lizard and Orc butt. His power-ups should keep coming from Rimuru screwing him over too, that'll never get old to me.

He's still a Hobgoblin; some of them didn't get mega-swole when they evolved. Convenient, since they make good candidates for the cavalry. Pretty sure someone like Rigurdo would squish any wolf except Ranga.

Mordaedil posted:Gobta got his own chapter in the light novel, detailing his travels to the dwarven kingdom the first time and what a goddamned hero he is. i feel like bringing this up again since we're still on gobta chat; i ended up getting the first LN because of it and man, I love Gobta. what a scrappy little dude. he's got the highest luck stat of them all, huh? Would recommend picking it up for that chapter alone if anyone's on the fence. Or just read the chapter in a bookstore or something, haha. In the very mildest of possible spoilers, I will say Gobta keeps being the best and keeps leveling up, at least through LN 3. So proud of the lil dude. And from such humble beginnings ...

I tried reading the fan translation of the web novel for like ... twenty seconds before I gave up. I was half ready to try leaning on my dictionary all the way through the original JP version before I found out the official release was so well done. But yeah, lots more detail. It's been fun comparing with the anime.

You really get a major understanding of the worlds mechanics and how his skills work along with his internal monologues like how he's initially kind of condescending towards the monsters and doesn't fully intergrate until much later after having lived with them for some time.

Ahh, he really is. And mechanics stuff + village-building stuff like the world voice vs the Great Sage voice. I love that they sound the same to him but aren't actually quite the same source, that's pretty entertaining. And it's really delightful seeing how like the goblins react on evolution, how excited they are that they got to hear the World Voice since usually nobody really does. Also I love how much time the author spent designing the town's water system and detailing its construction. It's interesting you mention him integrating w the monsters - I feel like the anime does a lot better with Rigurd specifically but the LN does better with Rimuru's viewpoint evolving as he gets to know everyone and feels more involved instead of just kinda obligated or sidetracked. Not sure if that needed spoilers but I'm being safe. It really does feel like an RPG meets Civ. ... Speaking of naming, NowonSA said Gobta hit the lottery, and MAN, later on... (intentionally vague spoiler) some characters 100% do not. The background goblins are really lucky comparatively compared to like Mountain M1 or whatever... None of the spoilers in this post are major plot points on their own, just comparing LN content to the anime with some minor thoughts on things that happen in upcoming arcs without spoiling major characters or plot points.

Well hey, there was 150k of them. Either you take too long and some die because you spent 10 minutes thinking of the perfect name, or you just go with whatever is easiest and gets it over quickest. His thoughts on the passing the names on by adding numbers was hilarious though.

Captain Invictus posted:yeah, but there should be a thread for the LNs/WNs then because the manga, and then anime, are far, far behind them. Other series have multiple threads for correspondingly spaced out versions, slime isekai is huge enough to warrant it too tbh Dunno how to make a thread and I'm at work but here's the title it should have for those that can make it. Diary of an OP Slime - That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime LN and Manga Thread.

Yesterday I learned from the year end sakuga blog picks that the guy who animated the OP for Slime was also responsible for most of the incredible swordfight episode of Princes Principal, which explains why all the motion in it is so good.
