OK, after sweating like a gosh darn pig for 50 minutes, here's the deal:
  • Doom, I know you put (or try to) everything behind spoiler tags. Keep that up. I'd recommend you to put some warning before the spoiler-tagged content like (some stuff that the anime skipped from the manga/novels) things skipped go here or some-such. I'm sure there's gonna be goons who find it interesting to know what's been left on the cutting room floor. Hell, I'm often intrigued by things that don't make it to the final product for x or y reason, but sometimes, my endless curiosity has gotten the better of me and I feel that I've "ruined" some shows/movies/games/books/etc for myself by skimming through spoilers here and elsewhere, and I guess it's the feeling that a lot of goons want to express here: of not knowing what's behind the spoiler tags. That way, if they're not curious they can just skip your post and find out on their own by checking the novels/manga.
  • That said, if it's spoilers from stuff down the road that hasn't even been mentioned and might still happen, yeah, don't do that.

Trust me I know. I've familiarized myself with the entire with the WN so there's LOTS of spoiler stuff I know that I won't share. The stuff I am sharing is just the fat that's been trimmed off sometimes to excess given you lose some great SoL stuff and character moments. Nothing CRITICAL, but still noteworthy. If I felt it would ruin the experience then I wouldn't share it at all here, but in the other thread for the LN since it's stuff that's way far off. It's why I've not made an episode write up since the pacing has been so weird. And yeah Jackard you might want to spoiler that one. There's a reason I don't share images.

I'm watching the anime and I don't know what you're talking about so this is kind of a spoiler!

All is for the best, in this, the best of all possible worlds
One of the problems with spoiling one medium with information from another medium is that the people putting together the anime may have deliberately rearranged stuff from the manga/LN. "Hey that guy has this huge backstory" might actually turn out to be a spoiler if they go into it next episode, for instance.

That is, presumably, why he bothers to put the info in spoiler tags.

But there is also nothing to indicate that these things are going to be revisited. The show is blatantly taking the "rush the gently caress through to hit some specific parts, and folks can buy the manga/LN if they want to know the in-between" approach.

I think I love this series so much because it's all the stuff I love about Overlord (fun and expressive characters, cool universe, absurd game dynamics, fun interactions) with none of the awful poo poo (horrendous CG, moments of edgy poo poo, weird issues with women). I just wanna watch a Slime make a city of friends and absorb new powers.

Read the manga and LN's man. It has ALL of those things in even more quantity than the anime. The manga is ESPECIALLY good if you want visuals and the Slime Diaries Spinoff is also solid and we're at the point where none of the stuff from it would be spoilers(though very little of said diaries is translated sadly).

drat you beat me to it. It's a really good deal too since even on sale the volumes are about $6 and some change so this is still a good deal on top of all the good stuff you're getting.

i literally scowled when they turned the cool lizard ladies into MORE generic anime girls. please anime team stop overwriting your already great designs for 0 reason. glad to see gabiru and that politician guy again, though. havent watched the newest episode yet but itll be nice if millim gets fleshed out (in a less literal sense than she is now).

I can't stress it enough that the anime screwed the pooch here with removing some scenes about her. And yeah I'm still not letting that reveal of her go it was just God Awful. It manages to be WORSE every time I see it.

The worst part is that Rimuru is the only one who knows that the answer to flying megalodons is a flying Jason Statham. Better to try and find a solution in ignorance, than to try and cobble something together knowing you've got nothing like Statham lying around.

Int is her dump stat and she min-maxed for sheer percussive force.
Also she mixed up her Toxicology and Cooking skills as a drawback.
