I'm not sure if they'll really improve from Clayman at this point as far as villains go.

Naw, I'll probably just end up dropping the show tbh. I enjoyed the journey up until now, but I'm not sure I'm prepared to sit through another 24 episodes of "sasuga Rimuru-sama!"
Probably best to pack it in while I still have goodwill left for the show.

Well, for starters there's an entire religion based around her name =P It's the one the holy church follows, right? Which could have some interesting political implications... but this is Slime.

I am ambivalent regarding the writing elements of Slime: A good thing about the show is that it is based on the work of an amateur novelist, who is not familiar with standard writing tropes so the story can evolve in different ways that we cannot easily expect. But, the amateurish writing can also produce negative results when the show loses its balance and it becomes too self-indulgent.

No one will blame you if you want to drop this.

LOL if you ever read the novel you'll find out that the names Rimuru gives the mooks arent exactly the most clever. The only ones with actual thought-out names are his inner circle and the members of the original goblin village he joined at the start and not even all of their names are revealed.
Looks like my assumption for season 3 was wrong. Guess we'll see what this movie gives us in time

I'm glad to see there's more coming, but I would have preferred a 3rd season. Hopefully the movie does well to get us one (presuming one isn't already planned)

I definitely agree about that line with Rimuru specifically. When I heard it I thought, "isn't that usually the villains line?"

It'll likely get a 3rd season eventually but since the manga is more popular than the LN they don't want to pass the manga which is only 1 chapter ahead of where the anime ended.

well her FIRST name more or less spell it all. she was the one that created the western holy church and its teachings!
it would definitely shake the whole human population to ite core if that EVER gets out! specifically eren's father and hinata herself would never be the same if they discover this!

... well... I guess Shuna's attack on Clayman's castle went... fine? Noone else was home? I wonder if anyone told Rimuru that he's got a brand new legion of undead skeleton warriors waiting back in town. And I suppose this isn't the first time Veldora's been imprisoned for centuries only to then pop back up in human form, since literally noone was surprised to see him. But, I think the most confusing thing is that multiple Walpurgi had to be held to come up with the "Ten Great Demon Lords" title. I wonder how long it took Guy to come up with the name "Guy Crimson," and whether or not he considered "Red Man." "Dude Red?"

The origin of the name Guy is a LOT LESS corny than you might think. Thats all Ill say about it

Maroon Man. Burgandy Bro. Ruby Dude. So many choices. Probably took him decades to decide.

Well, that settles it. He will officially, unofficially be known as Burgandy Bro in all future thread discussions (at least in my head canon).

I'm more partial to Ruby Dude and am prepared to fight over this.
