This just keeps getting better,I'm enjoying the pacing,that damned tsundere Veldora is hilarious,and was it just me,or were those goblins cute as F***,almost as cute as Rimuru :),def one to keep watching.
And as for the LN,this pacing seems to be about near enough.

Good episode! Rimuru and Veldora have great chemistry; Veldora will be missed until he returns. The goblins were also a welcome addition--and make an interesting contrast to the _other_ show about goblins this season.

I wish I could marathon this show but I'll have to be patient. Looking forward to the rest.

I love the manga but I dont read light novel. I wish this anime to have proper endings but I know that's not possible.

Why is it not possible ?


Well because I have never seen an another world genre anime with complete story from start to finish.

Because light novel have 12 volume Andy 24 isn’t enough to fit all of it so it’s al least 6 volume for the anime

For this 24-episode season, you mean. This franchise is so successful that it could keep up with many high-profile franchises in terms of sales, even though it had no anime up until now. With this anime it will only be even better and has much potential for merch. The chances for a second season are very solid if the adaptation keeps up the current quality (though IMO it's slightly below what we saw in EP1, but still WAY above average).


Well even if it has a good success rate and sell rate. It still going to at least take 2 years to make a second season. I mean look at classroom of the elite or Tanya like they did very well. But still no second season. And even if there is a second season, it’s not garentee to have 24 episode again. But I do agree with you

i’m still fascinated by the effect though, very RPG-based.

other than that, the goblins were fine, they were made to be cute anyway, they have to established that fact first so the story can continue, i just wait for the evolved oni to come, still a long way though

nice 2nd episode overall

I feel like I've watched something different than most people commenting so far. This episode was tediously boring. Some heavy handed exposition, then faffing around in the cave and then [eeep!]ing moe goblins. And not a single reason to give any damn.


Try manga, anime adaptation makes too much emphasis on cuteness and comical relief, I guess they thought children = money... Personally - such approach makes me puke, so dropped (even though I really like manga).

The pace was slower, but I still really enjoyed this episode regardless.

The visual quality, as well as the animation, remains of a high quality so far and I hope 8-bit can keep that quality going for as long as they can. Slime's adventures in the cave after swallowing up Veldora was pretty fun, as he encountered many enemies that he defeated and gained their abilities in the process.

After getting out of the cave, Slime encountered the goblin tribe (don't tell the Goblin Slayer about that place XD) and asked for the slime's help in radicating the massive pack of wolves who're shredding the goblin tribe apart.

I'm sure the next episode will have plenty of action, so I'm looking forward to that. =)

Don't tell if it's a spoiler

consuming Veldora he became as powerful as him since he can mimic. And his Predator skill is too OP.

Honestly wish people would forget goblin slayer and how it portrayed goblins and remember Tensei slime's version of them :) they are nice and loyal.

Remember its all about perspective.


He didn’t consume vendora because if he did vendora will be dead but no he didn’t he is not as strong as vendora at least at this time.

Uh not quite right about the aura part. I have read WN and LN. Rimuru was born from the magicules released by Veldora. He was literally stronger than the monsters around at birth, not including his skils. And how can Rimuru mimic Veldora? Veldora is not dead you know?

As this was already reveled in EP1 and EP2 this is not a spoiler


From what I remember what you said is a possibility but not entirely true based and what other character says in there’s mind.

I loved this episode, they maintained the quality of the first episode, besides that I enjoyed how Rirumu acquired new skills thanks to his "predatory" ability, besides his new abilities with the water element are great.
Veldora pleases me more, he leaves the stereotype of an cruel and intimidating dragon, capable of destroying a city with a single blow of its fire, this is better, he wants to have friends and be free, besides being a tsundere.
Now Rirumu is free and his first act in this new world is to help the goblins to stop the wolves that attack them.

Good follow up, liking this.

I thought it was kinda amusing how they created the whole sealed beast within the protagonist trope. xD
I assumed that Veldora would be able to communicate with Rirumu after he was gobbled up but it looks like that's not the case. I kinda wished they had that Naruto-Kurama dynamic. xD

The parts at the end with the goblins were pretty good too.

This is looking like it could be one of the better isekai shows out there and honestly, that stands as an achievement. XD

The slow pace is good. Maybe not for watching weekly, but in a marathon I think this kind of pace works very well.

I'm happy with the adaptation so far. The art quality is kinda iffy but they have some decent animation thanks to that and don't seem to rely on CG at all.

The real weakness of this series is how slow it is to take off. The faithfulness of getting every "plot keyframe" from the manga is both a blessing and a curse. I was afraid it was going to drive people off, but it seems people are enjoying it.

Unlike most series where it is a rollercoaster of sharp ups and downs, this series is a very gradual straight line at a slight incline. It is very slow to ramp up, but it rarely, if ever, gets worse at any point. It's a long investment that I hope people stick around for, but I totally understand those who would drop it after this episode due to a lack of anything happening.

Rimuru Tempest, I guess this will be name of the season for me. All those skills, this slime is going to be overlord or what!

His aura though takes the cake, for a slime he's the strongest I've ever seen. I bet helping the goblin will be interesting.

But I hate goblins now since I saw what they did on goblin slayer, that opening episode has etched a bad reputation for them whether they are good or not in any series.

Great episode and I have very very high hopes for this series.

This episode i think was far more enjoyable than the first one.

He acquired a lot of skills in such a small amount of time, can't wait to see him fighting for real and using all of the skills.
I wonder what happened with the dragon, he is not dead obviously but we don't know the result of his analysis of that shield.

I dunno about this episode. The art style seems kind of flat and generic, which is a shame because episode 1 had some real creativity during the whole death/rebirth section. Also not a lot happened. Mostly just setup and the rest of episode 1's exposition dump. *Hopefully* that's all to get ready to hit the gas next episode, but if not I may end up dropping this by ep. 4. I just want some trashy fun wish-fulfillment out of this show and I know it's going there but I'd like it to get there faster.

For those who are thinking that he may get op don't worry because the enemies that Rimuru will face in the future will be equally powerful if not then much more powerful than him.

Rimuru ate Veldora like it was nothing! Slime OP!

Eat the snake! Eat everything!!!

What is that one game called? Seventh Cross Evolution? Yeah. This is going to end up like that, isn't it?

Well that answers one question:


And a slime becomes the leader of a goblin village. Well Rimuru better eat one of those wolves too. A wolf form is perfect for mobility!

Oh? TRUE is singing the ending theme too? Nice.

Being a manga reader who have already read to the most latest chapter, this episode kind off progressed slowly. But when it progressed slowly, it explained a lot of stuff quite thoroughly, sometimes even more thorough than the manga did, and I really like that :) Can't wait for the upcoming episodes

I'd say it was a pretty interesting episode, the first episode was just setting things up and seemed a bit calmer; but now I can feel the direction this anime's going to take a bit better. I'd say they're off to a pretty good start.

Now that they didn't try too hard the visuals flowed much better. Fairly interesting plot, I liked the second half quite a lot. Not a fan of the whole 'skill' crap which reeks too much of video game shit.
