These changes make a lot of sense from a production perspective, as going to episode 26, there's a limited amount of stuff they could cover and have it be satisfying.

Very true. And all of the cut stuff CAN(and SHOULD) be added later via OVA's and the such as background stuff.

Was in the process of typing out everything that got skipped and it's so loving much it's incredible. Like WTF?!! We're talking an entire manga volume and close to half of an LN volume with some other bits having gotten trimmed as well.

Edit: I'm assuming you're up to date on the manga and LN right?

Agree on all counts. I know what's going now. The bulk of the committee is apparently Kodanshas people so they seem to want to catch up to manga and end the anime on a major cliffhanger hoping that people that het impatient will continue in the manga. Recent release of the manga seems to confirm this.
With regards to that, I hope they end the season with the retaliatory harvest and end it right there.

So Doomrider what are the main differences between the WN and LN in Volume 5? I've read half of the WN version.

There was a list with all of the changes that was METRIC gently caress TONS of spoilers, by I can't find it and REALLY don't want to remember the stuff I read there, suffice to say about LN5, it's been greatly improved from what I've seen of the raws I have.

The size of the invading army is apparently much larger and Geld, Benimaru, and Hakuro take the field along side Rimuru, the initial attack on Tempest where people got killed is fleshed out, the attack was actually carried out by otherworlder who are members of secret underground organization, Diablo gets a fight, and the attack on Eurazania gets more fleshed out as well.

Sadly no. The main series only recently got picked up again. All three mainline spinoffs have been having issues getting picked up by snalating groups which is a damned shame since they do a lot of world building(ironically the Bunny Girl one has a group, but that one is spoiler as all gently caress). There's a team on the Discord doing some work, but it's something else. I can ask if they'll pick it up.

So I just finished up the anime and need more of my new favorite slime. Should I read the manga or LN or is either one good?

LN has more background and detail crunch.

Manga has visuals and a better story flow.

Pick your preference!

This. Honestly I say do both, but slight tilt towards the LN do to being more detailed of the two and the next translated one comes out this Tuesday and it's... Good. Like it's one of the most iconic moments in the series.

Edit: Forgot to mention, there are now about 5 or 6 spinoffs. Three of them are mainline, that is to say they're part of the main story and expand upon the world and the characters, and the remaining are gag spinoffs that have nothing to do with the main series(the wage slave one is hilarious thought).

It was great. There were a few bits that were translated wrong though, but it's forgiveable.

I thought it was good, but with one big problem: The first third really should have been in the last volume, interweaving the three different events as they happened. That way there wouldn't have been the need to rewind a couple weeks twice in order to set things up while the huge cliffhanger from volume 4 sat unresolved. (This was a bit less of an issue in Japan since there was only one month between volumes 4 and 5 instead of the four we had.) It almost made me skip half a chapter and I never do that.

Can't disagree. They definetly extended and fleshed out a lot of the events involved there though which was very welcome. Ditto for giving everyone their own fight.

Reading through the LNs and once again I'm wondering, when the composition of the Tempest army comes up, where did all these new ogres come from? I know it mentions wild ogres but it also mentions kids from the ogre village. I thought they were essentially eradicated except for Benimaru's group, and now there's 300 more of them.
