EP. REVIEW: That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 3

Masayuki seems like the standard JRPG protagonist (or modern isekai (glances at Rimuru)) where everything falls in to place and allies just gather up around them. I wonder if there's supposed to be some sort of commentary there, but I'm not sure Slime is going to go that deep.
Kind of frightening though the effect his ability has on people. Even that otherworlder mage just had his personality changed to be Masayuki's follower. I wonder if that's an effect they can be cured of...

Not gonna lie, I don't even remember that fox or where it came from.

I've always found spoiler[Velgrynd] to be one of if not the most gorgeous girls in Tensura and the brief cameo cemented it

I think I'd like this arc a whole lot more if it didn't waste so much time, effort and focus on the lame-ass dungeon idea (which then skips the interesting bits, other than Veldora's literal mancave).

Absolutely. Building the dungeon is the dullest thing in Slime. "Lets make a videogame in my videogame isekai" is just deeply detached and dull as a concept. Be much better to just skip over it off screen.

wait until you meet rouge!

aka spoiler[ Testarossa (who is known in the source materials as the second most powerful of the seven primordial demons, and the only one that diablo/noir cannot defeat!)

It's one of major weaknesses of Slime books. Something is setup in book 5, then we get slow burn, board meetings, politics, minor wars and different stories till we get to book 15,where all those characters that got introductory setup of one paragraph (5sec) ten books (3 seasons?) earlier are resolved. However by that time, you don't remember who are they, what are their motivations and why. At least Yuuki is more or less consistent throughout series.

uhhh............

no offense, but it would have ruffled the feathers of the source materials community if they had left out this part of the light novels from the anime since it does indeed have a part of the festival arc.

I'm not offended, you are correct, and I do understand what it leads into. Obviously, like many of my opinions, this one never had a chance of being real!

I still think its one of the dullest parts of the whole saga and could be covered in much less time if you wanted to do it that way and just capture the plot relevant elements, even though of course I understand that would never happen.

My main point is that its a dull element in Slime and imo it pulls down this season. Just my opinion though, and I'm sure the overall audience prefers it to more magic meeting room time.

Nice to see some old faces and that Youm and Mjurran got married. It's like one of the only other major romances in this show.

But this episode did feel like we got back into the slow and boring meetings of the first cour. Even though this season really has been 80% meetings in general.

It's so weird seeing Rimuru and Yuuki acting so buddy buddy like old pals when you know the truth. I mean, it's probably just the both of them feeling out the other and not wanting to play their hand but you've even got Kagali getting an "in" into Clayman's ruins with Rimuru acting none the wiser about who she really is.

Oh hey, the kids and Tiss-sensei! And now they finally get to experience Tempest.

Way to make yourselves come off even more unlikeable, Masayuki's party. They were nearly turned into literal food by Shion. Though it should be interesting to see how Masayuki fares in the tournament, especially if he ends up going up against someone major from Tempest.
