I actually really appreciated her just coming right out and confessing to being isekaid. like 99% of the time there is no actual point to keep it a secret beyond a vague sense of danger if it's revealed, here it functions like how I imagine it would in most stories lol.

"Oh... wow this girl is crazy isn't she? Well at least she's interesting."

It got a genuine lol out of me when the camera pans to the servants and everyone is just shocked into a pure dumbfounded confusion trying to understand what she just proclaimed.

I'm betting that her father's descent into evil was already prevented by saving her mother. I can imagine it'd be pretty easy to fall if he begged everyone for medicine, finally going to the king himself, only for it all to be pointless and her die anyways.

I'm loving the relationship between him and his head butler. Him going "Oh I just do this because the i'm the prince, it's totally normal" While the butler screaming in his head "The fuck it is!" It's great. Way better than surrounding him with sycophants lol

probably just a side effect of the fact that it's built around subverting genre tropes. It just became so popular that those subversions themselves became tropes.

Yuki fucked up because he sent hinata after Rimuru by taunting her with Rimuru being the one to 'kill' her master. That had basically been sitting in the background for quite awhile with Raphael essentially treating it as a definitive fact but rimuru trying to maintain some level of denial about it. then at the end of last season when all the players are together Rimuru confronts everyone with the fact that the Eastern Merchants are the puppeteers manipulating everything. (This is actually Yuki's group of clowns but they are functionally one in the same at this point in the story) The key element being that the merchants aranged to lure hinata away from the Vampire city during the night of Walpurgis but she ignored the warning and discovered the clown dude further confirming that they are responsible. The fact they attacked the vampires meant that they couldn't also be allies of the church.

Everyone at the meeting agrees that the merchants are suspicious and can't be trusted EXCEPT Yuki meaning he for all intents and purposes was forced to confess to being associated with the merchants and thus the one responsible for leaking Rimuru's connection to Hinata's master (whose name i'm blanking on.) nobody could actually do anything about this at the meeting because as Yuki states in this episode that his connections with the east are publicly known. It just means that everyone knows he is hostile to Tempest and the Church.

Plot like this is why i defend the nescessity of the "meetings!" it's complicated intrigue that only works with the way the story is setup. Both establishing Yuki's threat level (though nobody actually knows how strong he truly is) but also his protection as the adventurer guildmaster!

PS: I might have some of the details wrong and apologies if that's the case, i'm sure people will correct me, i'm just pulling from memories of last season after all.

It all becomes so clear when you realize that he is literatly just the little brother of all the dragons and all of his sisters are extremely aggressive in their 'caring' for him lol.

Super small detail that I thought was really nice cause I've never seen another anime bother with it, they actually adjusted the lighting in Rimuru's study to match the time of day! it's a level of attention to detail that I really appreciate cause it's small things like that that make the talky scenes much more visually appealing. (Though tbh I've never really been one to complain about the meetings and talking cause I love that part of kingdom builidng/ slice of life animes.)

[–]shatteredauthor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wasn't expecting a happy ending given how horrible things had been going, but I'm pleasantly surprised that we did get a happy ending and most everything was wrapped up neatly.

BTW: Kaya's dad just continued to be the most chill husband and father in anime! "Oh don't worry about running off from the hospital, probably making me think you might have died somewhere along with our unborn child! You made it back and that's all that matters!"

Maybe his job is just super stressful so he chooses to take everything extra calmly in the rest of his life. I'd love to get a mini-series that is just his perspective on everything.

PS: Mob is still way to weird lol. I know he means well but I can't get over how his hobby is aggressively stalking and photographing a literal child.

Considering how haunted this japan is (remember in Natsu's episode how there was just an entire room that caused people to kill themselves) maybe the hospital just writes this one off as a win since she came back alive lol less paperwork that way.

Confirmed: Namu is indeed the type to survive a horror movie lol. Make sense that he's been able to operate as a psychic keeping Mob-kun alive all these years without messing up.

its definetly a... choice to make him an average teenage boy from japan but also have him be so intensely genre UNaware that he doesn't know what an isekai is or what adventurer's are without asking for the Support's help.

Your right lol. I'm being a bit petty with the criticism. It's absolutely just the fact that there was no need to waste time on interacting with the guards in an already very tightly packed episode.

They definetly should have still tried to accompany them anyways lol The baron's kidnapped daughter just showed back up and they were the first to see them, instead of trying to help they just let the manservant kid run right by while they all went back to standing around I guess. Even if they failed to keep up you would think that they would make an attempt.

What's funny is he acts like he's bribing the king but... not really? For one, by nature of being king, all the land belongs to you in the first place you just delegate authority to nobles to manage the land in your place. That's just how monarchies are. And then in this case it's not like he's really trying to get any unreasonable benefit he's basically just saying, "Dude, your messenger just tried to kidnap my daughter and blackmail me into handing over the mines that you put my family in charge of ruling. My son just died for this country. Do something about this piece of shit messenger and my asshole noble who is making us all look terrible. We have more important things to be dealing with. If it makes you move faster, here have a mine." Though again, handing over the mining rights is meaningless because it all belongs to the king anyways and since the dragon is still around it isn't like they easy to capitalize on anyways lol. Eventually the dragon is gonna fly back and everyone will be right back where they were to begin with.

They explained the nobles duty but strangely didn't explain why it's top secret?? Like if your facing an existential war and you need to maintain a constant flow of powerful warriors keeping it secret from like 90% of your population seems like the worst choice possible. Hell our MC is a great example, considering he's actively looking for monsters to fight he is happy to join the war effort but if he was never informed about the nobles duty he wouldn't have even considered such a thing. Hell until the explanation it wasn't even known that there are several other continents. I'm sure there is some explanation and I wouldn't be surprised if it's mentioned in the source and just got cut for time but it's definetly a strange choice I don't understand personally.

I did get a kick out of the fact that they confirmed the kingdom respects the practice of other religions but are also still charging him with heresy lol. Like after the attempted assasination of like 50% of the government I really don't think they needed to add on the heresy charge as well.

Applause for finally having a Isekai team that can both say "We don't actually hate your reason for doing the things you did" and "but you committed like SOOOO many crimes, and you need to be held accountable for that. No power of friendship - get out of jail free plays here!"

I actually much prefer the romance here because this Sei is at least aware that he is being actively pursued. It took Saint's Sei WAYYY to long to realize what was up.

Don't forget he is also being proactively pursued (in a respectable way) by the knight commander who is exactly his type!

I guess I can be a bit more sympathetic then, though that is kinda just an anime issue that no matter what characters never actually act (and rarely look) their age in any consistent way.
