  • I have to be the one to come defend Rimuru as somebody who’s catching up to the novels (I’m like 3-4 books behind the official translations). Oh yeah, several “Meeting Episode” in a row will disappoint people, but just hang on, now we’re in the Rozzos story arc which while by itself is not the most exciting (they’re financial enemies, by nature the fights are not gonna be too flashy), it does bring fun stuff thanks to the festival, both interesting new characters and fun events, and i do believe it’s at this point that we get some fun demon action. Then there’s one interesting story arc i cannot even name as it’s in itself a spoiler, AND THEN it’s multiple novel volumes of just war and more war, which should completely satiate all the battle nuts. Not sure how far we will go this season but i anticipate the rest of it should be more fun than just people sitting in meetings (which i nevertheless defend because those explain all the stuff that’s happening).

Either the crappy super-generic edgy ones represented by SAO (“I’m the very special boy who’s super duper OP and will conquer the world and somehow have a harem of girls trying to woo me despite having no personality”), or the dramatically better ones represented by Rimuru and others of “started in the shittiest spot and eventually became world-class with hard work”? Because that’s EXACTLY what i sign on when starting one of these series, i know the basic tropes and wanna see how they develop whatever the latest one being discussed does, the fact that they follow familiar beats is not necessarily a bad thing as much as HOW they do it, i haven’t heard of this one yet so cannot comment on it, but seen a few that were enjoyable despite following some predictable beats, and yeah, many crappy ones we can forget, i just wanna know where this one falls
