New ending. Shows some interesting stuff. I guess these oni's? are going to be a big part of the story going on.

This show is extremely charming and the pacing has been pretty solid so far.
Though I kinda wanna see what those Oni's are all about.

How's about we let the anime tell the story and leave novel/manga stuff out until the anime passed said point.

This episode was a rollercoaster of emotions. But so drat good!
I kinda want to read the manga/novels. But at the same time, having a comfy and fun show to watch every monday isn't bad either.

I think the Shizu thing really works. And having her show up in a lot of marketing stuff and the ending really cemented her as a big deal.
Which makes her faith all the more shocking, but gives it a good amount of weight.

Having this form show up in the opening, was unavoidable. And having Rimuru's human form in it, can serve as a nice hook for new viewers.
They also prominently display those Oni characters. And I'm hyped as hell for their introduction.

I love how Rimuru supplies his healing potions now. *splat* all better!

These ogres are cool! And I love how Rimuru just sits back nodding while they realize how hosed they would be if the fight would go on.

But more strong, did you see the ff7 sized sword she has in the intro? Cute OL with giant sword is an underutilized character archetype that deserves more representation.

*nods in approval*

Old man Oni is also great! I love characters like that.

I can already tell they're going to get a lot of mileage out of Shion squishing Rimiru's slime form.

And I keep underestimating Gobuta. Guy is legit badass.

I love how you can see Shion and the others getting more feral when they get serious.
Man Gabiru is a cool guy.
Holy poo poo! Rimiru is now also good friends with his sage buddy.
Holy poo poo! It's an eat or be eaten fight!
Holy poo poo! the music that plays during this part is awesome

Oh goddamnit! Don't make me start feeling poo poo for Geld now!
You better save those other orcs Rimiru!
Hell yeah! I expected nothing less of you!

New ending is amazing

Man what a fantastic episode. Hit all the right notes!

So this butt demon is one of the runaway characters of this series right?
I mean I like her attitude and it's interesting to introduce a more powerful character this way, because this is clearly one of those fights he can't flat out win by overpowering her.
Girl needs some pants though. This was kinda awkward at times.

Also sad to see the lizard girls downgrade like that. But having a team of ninja's is a loving cool addition, so it evens out.

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 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.

You know how you sometimes realize there was something missing in your life the moment you lay eyes on it?
Punk Ranga is one of those things for me.

I honestly feel they are probably speeding through some initial stuff and things will slow down. The beginning kinda felt like the author was testing the waters and seeing what works. Now that the Orc Lord has been dealt with, some new antagonists have been build up. Things are at a point where I feel the series can really start now.

Moments like these are easily inserted at random points.

It seems that they can easily fill in the gaps with some OVA's maybe shuffle some stuff around.

Weird end. As someone unfamiliar with the source material, even I could tell that things really rushed after the Orc Lord arc. Which is a shame but gives me a reason to check out the novel/manga I guess.

All in all, I still like it even if it didn't nail the landing completely. That song during the recap was really pretty.
