Onean posted:Ehhh. I think it was just alright. From just a pure anime angle it's mostly okay, except the whole bit about Frey comes out of nowhere, which is what I was worried about. They also really smoothed over the expedition, which was expected and isn't inherently bad, except they did it really badly. Now they're just a mercenary band that flakes on a major job and scams their employer for no reason except more money. They might go into more detail next episode, but if they don't that's a really disappointing change that completely changes some characters. I'd love to detail more on this, but spoilers so it'll have to wait. Agreed on the merc band though yeah. They REALLY shimmed on that one. They also skimmed the Milim's explanation about Hero's and Demon Lords and yeah the Frey thing comes out of nowhere now because of the previous episode which sucks. I'm assuming the scenes you're talking about are the part where Youm bumps into Geld, the honey scene which has Milim bond with Shuna and Shion, and Rimuru in overalls with a bow from Milim. There was mention in the production interview that the committee that mandated they do more than one volume instead of what the production crew wanted to do which was make the two cour MUCH more detailed and end things with the post Orc Lord events so they had the author on staff to help trim things down and anything else they said they'd add in OVA's or future episodes. I'd actually be ok with special edition Blurays that add the missing scenes in ad that would give Blueray sales a MASSIVE bump as well due to interest in what was changed.

Not knowing the source material, I felt like things went WAY too fast in this episode. It's the first time I thought that they must be skimping on a lot of background because some of the character motivations don't make much sense.

Yeah skipping more stuff now, but it's not the end of the world. Harlequin Tear has my full endorsement as a character as she joins Oni-Hime in the extra-long sleeved female character club.

I feel like the show has settled into a formula with the last few episodes and I'm not sure I like it. This one in particular felt a bit light a rushed. Also, I'm curious why the OP and ED both give us a quick scene with Shizue right at the start. She's dead and gone, and hasn't been mentioned, even through subtext, in quite a while. I'll be disappointed of she just comes back to life later after her harrowing death episode.

Yeah they skipped some stuff in the Demon Lord meeting that would've explained a lot of stuff in this episode. They also skipped a bunch of really good SoL stuff and the explanation behind Youm's group of mercenaries. Spiritus Nox posted:Because hearing her last wish was a critical character moment for Rimuru and Rimuru still carries her form and memory with him at all times? She never stops being an important character in some way and there are some MAJOR arcs revolving around her a bit later on.

Kalas posted:Because multiple season shows can't briefly reference past material, right? They put it right at the beginning so you're gonna see her even if you intend to skip them. And she's not shown in a throwaway either, both are fairly poignant scenes. And they did it for both the OP and ED. It's way too intentional to not read into.

 Edit: I haven't read any of the source material for this part, but it didn't feel like anything was particularly lacking. A bit more background on Youm would have been good, but it could well be coming down the road and his archetype isn't really one that needs too much explanation anyway. Milim is good and helps give some impulsiveness to the show that the rest of the cast doesn't really have (which is a good thing), except when model of patience Shion gets mad. Gobta continues to own. chumbler fucked around with this message at 05:59 on Jan 29, 2019 |

Milim was best girl in this episode, though I think I prefer the manga's silent implication when she just sat down after Rimuru threatened her dinner, rather than her just saying "I'll be quiet now". Her saying it just implies she doesn't take it as seriously. Also Youm really got shafted, but it kinda makes sense to do.

So does Milim change her outfit permanently? Because not going to lie I'm in the episode before she shows up and it'll honestly be a dealbreaker for this series if it sticks around

TheKingofSprings posted:So does Milim change her outfit permanently? The previous outfit is her default, but when in Tempest, she rotates through a variety of outfits and wardrobes. Ditto for Rimuru which sadly got cut out. A lot of stuff got cut out these last two episodes and I think it's what's led to some review bombings on Reddit. chumbler posted:
Normally I'd agree, but a LOT of stuff got cut out about Youm that's gonna hurt the overall narrative like why he's even there in the first place and why Rimuru decides' to pick him to be his "Champion". There were some other things with Milim that also got cut which was a huge shame as well. It's why I tell people to read the source materials. doomrider7 fucked around with this message at 07:20 on Jan 29, 2019 |

Milim was so much better in this episode than in the previous one and had the best moments of the episode. Other than that the episode went quite fast and left me wondering if I'm supposed to care about the new mercs who showed up.

It makes more sense to care about them in a medium that moves at a slower pace. For the anime, all that seems to matter is that Rimuru uses him to gain goodwill with humans.

Other than the kid mage with the glasses they're ex cons who were put together to scout the Orc Lord since the fief lord of their region of Farmus was greedy dick and pocketed the money that was supposed to go into defense and put this group together last minute. Youm had "Friends on the inside" and caught wind of the whole thing and pressed the glasses mage who was placed in sort of charge to give them the key. So now they're basically AWOL, but Youm decided to at least check up on things to avoid Farmus being ravaged and everyone including the mage stuck with him due to his good natured and charismatic personality. This is why Rimuru decided to use him for the role of "Champion"(you DO NOT call your self a "Hero", cut Milim part explains why) since he could tell he was a good if gruff guy who cared about people.

Unneeded hot take that I know is not helping with the issue, but the many many posts of people complaining about doomrider7 are way more annoying to have to shift through than, you know, not hovering over a spoiler tag. I get it, it can be annoying, especially for those who don't want to investigate source materials or those who don't want to move further than the anime, but maybe make a report to a mod instead of further choking the thread up with complaints or empty quoting? Anyway, have to agree that the passing so far over the last few episodes have kind of sucked, but this week's episode is a lot more coherent at the very least. Maybe we will get some more fleshing out with Youm over the next episode like how they explained some of the glossed over bits on what Milim and other demon lords where even up to this week. I'm excited for Charybdis, Clayman's reaction to the name was really good (in fact, I'm still in love with just how expressive these characters are, even though the show seems to be rushing through plot points right now, the animation quality is at least still top notch).

I enjoy spoilers and won't hesitate to read about things I haven't seen/read yet. I often enjoy things more when I know what to expect, it makes it easier to look for the cool details and potential giveaways. And "spoilers" usually just tell about the outcome, not the way to it anyway.

Spoiler Policy
|
I don't enjoy spoilers because I like a fresh experience and the space to form my own throughts. Though I think that spoilers about skipped content are ok so long as it doesn't spoil future details in the process. I also think it's important especially if there are crucial story details that were missed I would just ask those posting this kind of spoiler to be careful that they aren't accidentally spoiling something in the future.

Wark Say posted:Yeah, this rule is still in place. If it's gonna happen in the anime, don't talk about it here. I feel like this is genuinely dumb policy. It was understandable when the guy was constantly talking about things that were gonna happen, but filling in stuff the anime is skipping because it's rushing through (and still putting it in spoiler tags as a courtesy) is the most non-issue thing I've ever seen. You shouldn't have to go to a thread talking about the series as a whole - future events included - to fill in skipped details.

Wait, so the anime is just straight up skipping stuff (I put this show on hold until it's finished, so I haven't followed anything after episode 4)? If instead of doing things differently from the OG Novels/the manga adaptation the anime is straight up leaving content by the wayside to the point that it seems fairly unlikely that it'll revisit it, then yeah, that's a bit trickier. Hmm.

I mean, there's a big difference between someone speculating and asking rhetorical questions and "Would someone who has read the manga please tell me why X matters?" Someone too eager to fill missing details just kills any speculation the thread may be able to do otherwise.

You shouldn't have to go to a thread talking about the series as a whole - future events included - to fill in skipped details. If I've learned anything from time here, bitching and moaning are the currency on here and find it kind of lol worthy and hypocritical that in spite of falling in line with the rules, people bitch and moan about my posts, but are more than ok clogging up the thread with empty posts and quotes adding nothing to the discussion or even discussing ANYTHING about the series in any capacity beyond, "new outfit/episode". Hey guys, maybe don't loving read the spoiler tagged stuff or don't ask questions you don't want answered in any capacity? I fill the with answers because yes, a lot of stuff is getting skipped that's causing a lot of issues like I expected it would in terms of people not knowing what's going on. The entire anime is being done as more akin to a vehicle to sell the manga and LN given the amount of stuff being cut out and that material is becoming more unlikely to turn up since we're about 5-6 episodes from the main series end with episodes 24 and 25 being specials.

 I think the issue people have with this is that you are not prefixing the spoiler with a warning that this relates to differences from the other material, rather than only what is shown in the anime. If you had written "Manga/LN differences" before that spoiler it'd be clear why someone may want to skip it. Unprefixed spoilers in the anime thread are assumed to be about the anime only.

Yeah honestly I think the reaction to doomrider is way overblown and way more annoying than doomrider himself. Filling in missing details that this anime is skipping/glossing over is good if it's tagged so people can check it out instead of having to go into a thread that will specifically have way more spoilers on future content.
