Slime 4x5

WELCOME TO THE WEEK TOWEEK. KARLI hahahaha being a LN reader the Maribel arc is my least favorite arc but it leads to Greatness. season 4 overall is gonna be the best so just wait is all i will say

I was just gonna say, not doing two episodes at a time now that you're caught up will hit you like a train lol.

It's definitely because you are now week to week. Slime is great for binging but week to week is tough depending on how well you like the chill / meeting episodes. Also, to be fair, this is pretty much following the light novel, aside from A LOT MORE internal dialogue from Rimuru and some other minor stuff.

Yeah I didnt mind this episode but it is a running problem in Slime that its rough week to week but amazing as a binge

Haha you think that cliffhanger was bad 🤫😂 wait til the next episode ha 😂

I really enjoyed reading this when it came out in the manga especially since the manga comes out once a month

Hey if you wanted to learn more about Maribell you can can watch the ending them video as it’s designed with insight into who she is.

Shuna Uzi Shrine Maiden sounds like a spin off i would enjoy.

I think they intentionally paced it that way specifically to end on that cliffhanger. Which is probably intended to make the viewer think Maribel got her Greed Skill fingers into Rimuru. The dub also changed a fair amount of the conversation in the café. In the part of the episode Taylor brought up, Hinata says "I agree with Rimuru... but you're right. If you're so certain, I'll call for an investigation as well." It flows so much better than that atrocious English line. Which then proceeds to Rimuru asking Hinata to investigate Dwargon. Not him saying that he'd like to investigate Dwargon too. I think her comment about him having sage like wisdom is an improvement over her just praising him though. Maybe when stuff like that comes up in the future it's worth switching audio and subtitle sources to see if it's an issue brought over from the original script, or a poor decision by the dub team.

I feel like you hitting the copium pretty hard. Last season, there were the 2 episodes with Hinata, the episode with Diablo, and 2 episodes with the tournament that were decent; the rest were ass. so tops 6.2 out of 24. I love Tensura, but this is not the first sleeper.

This episode's budget probably got sacrificed for the sake of the cour 1 finale. Otherwise, this is pretty loyal to the novels. Speaking of the novels, it's important to remember this is a book series first. The pacing comes from that.

The week to weeks killing me, this episode was definately badly organized and should have skipped half of it, but the next two eps are absolute cinema and i just want to binge it all 🤣😭

It's funny that I forgot about the pacing of this episode. I've gotten so used to episodes like this throughout all of anime that the immediate reaction I had at the end was "DAMN, NEXT EPISODE'S GONNA BE FIRE." There's just always gonna be an episode somewhere in longer anime where the animation budget is noticeably saved (via still frames or extensively long dialogue for no reason) for later utilization. Simply put, every great story has it's drop-off or falling points before another peak, so disappointing times like this just immediately turn into excitement for the next episode; it's disturbing, however, when there’re budget-savers consistent through multiple, consecutive episodes. Now there's a real problem.

How dare you say bad things about my slime anime!! Jk. I do think they made this episode too much filler and could have added a lot more to it and removed some very unnecessary spacing. I still enjoyed it because of the small bit of info and new developents that where talked about but again they did not need to make it this way. Maybe this means that the next few episodes after this are going to be amazing, one can hope right.

Based on what's being said, season 4 starts out slow but pacing and action increases as it goes on. And so far people keep saying that the episodes have been very accurate to the light novel.

That map looks JUST like the one y'all drew back before s2

I love slime as well but the pacing was off. actually it's more like the author poorly excuted his intention of this part of the story. It was the calm before the storm, our last slice of life/ calm part of this entire season. Not saying it's all action and combat from here forward but there is going to be a shift in mood and tension in the series. The clue to this was how upset our slime was at the end. Side note the stuff they are demanding of him is so messed up I understand why he's mad at them.

Does not matter what series there are always bad or questionable episodes.

I highly recommend reading or audiobooking the Light Novel after this season ends. The series should be on audiobook up to 10 by the time the season ends and its read by Brit which is awesome IMO. There is also a server that you can download the books for LN which i can post in the Discord for a Mod to check for you. Just LMK if and where. Ive used it to download the entire series to listen to. If you prefer audiobooks i would be happy to send a message with my suggestions for an app to use to listen to LN PDFs and where a safe Server of (Bought by user's) LNs can be download from.

I agree that this and the next episode could for sure have and should have been combined with alot of this episode having been shortened by a decent amount. I think the part that yuuki passed johan and talked to maribel that should have been shortened to simply Yuuki shows up and says he got what she wanted and her reply. Something to note was that there were something in the Light novel that could have been said in places of those pauses and slowed down sentences especially since there was a lot of stuff said during those meetings. The issue would have been alot of expo dumping that would ruin a possible anime only cliffhanger type thing. Also as someone who fervently loves the Slime World, I agree this episode's pacing sucked but the content was great if not lacking more depth.

The episode was badly paced, I agree, but the last 3min made it up to me. It's not often you see Rimiru so angry lol

Unfortunately for Karlii, this (I'm pretty sure) is almost exactly what happened in the Light Novel, so there was no filler in the episode. Otherwise, I always enjoy the reactions, and the long pauses mentioned were weird, but not out of place (for me anyway).

Welcome to the pains of weekly releases, episode 5 def was 1 of the more iffy ones imo, the next 2 episodes pop off like a LOT happens so unlike s3, it doesnt take all of the first 8 episodes for playing catch up, figuring out whats going on in the world and on different perspectives, etc. This episode was def more of a filler towards the middle, and then the end is where we actually push into whats coming next. Great reaction as always though!

We found out Glenda(the girl with a gun) was working with the Rozo's last season. So us the viewers alr know she is doing stuff behind Hinata's back.

imma be honest I really like season 4 until now, the next episodes are good too; but honestly I straight up just forgot episode 5 existed. I may be also biased cause I just think the LN is really good and so i don't take the anime as much at face value, i do have lenses for it cause I know what happens next. they probably could have added more monologue from Rimuru this episode to add more context and makes things cleaner.

You might of put this in the wrong playlist
