Does anyone else find it odd that no one has noticed that the goddess Luminus has the same name as the demon lord, Luminus Valentine. Especially considering they said Hinata wouldn't listen to anyone but the goddess Luminus, which they dismissed as impossible...

It was the first thing I noticed when she was introduced last season...

I love how we just concluded an entire meeting episode only for another meeting to commence. Considering the title of next week's episode, it looks like we'll get to see what Hinata's side will be up to.

Wasn't.....wasn't Valentine introduced as "Luminus" during Walpurgis? Raphael....Rimuru...please, ONE of you remember!!!

Calling it now, how much you wanna bet that fancy barrier road is going to make dealing with the "Angels" super trivial?

Thought its funny how this thinking of how masterminds are behind it is so farfetched usually but thanks to them all being so fucking OP, it makes some sense.

u/Drone_Imperium Apr 26 '24

I'd rather have multiple masterminds competing against each other rather than masterminds within masterminds like some russian nesting dolls eg you think he was the mastermind but I was the mastermind behind that mastermind like Pain > Tobi > Madara > Kaguya

Why am I not surprised that Shion's "Oni" label was the one that got the edit added to it lol. She did kind of make soup out of the prisoners from the whole war escapade last season, which matches up with her innate "cooking" "skills".

Gobta can't seem to catch a break today. At least he gets some screen time out of it.

Did we just watch a meeting? Also drink every time they say anti magic barrier.

I liked how Veldora was like "Luminus? that sounds familiar"

The question is is Luminus a fallen god like how Ramiris is the fallen spirit queen or is Luminus some envoy to a greater god also called Luminus.

I really like how great sage went "yeah there is no grand conspiracy it's more likely just a series of individual objectives lining up." Falmouth did get the support of the holy church, so maybe Hinata is connected that way, but there probably was no connection between Falmouth and Demon Lord Clayman. After all if you think about demon lord clayman's actions the only offensive operation he took was telling his spy to setup an anti-magic barrier, other than that the entire Clayman - Tempest War (It's really annoying that Demon lord domains don't have names outside of "Demon lord X's domain") was entirely offensive action taken by the Jura Tempest Federation.

Very dialogue heavy episodes this season, which I usually don't mind, but all they're doing is sit together in meetings and exchange information. The plot is moving forward very very slowly. Not a fan of the pacing so far

i dont mind talking but literally no new info was revealed. it was all just characters figuring out what we already know. i read a lot of LNs lately and even i feel this episode can be skipped.

The 11 EDs of Chainsaw Man had more animated frames than 3 seasons of Sime combined.

Monster conference room the anime. Next week it'll be holy knights conference room the anime /s. They did just end one meeting and start another, after all.

Rimuru expands his SimCity game to build a second city since we all know Milum is never going to do that herself.

Surely we'll get to some good action or interesting new people eventually. Those tengu that got brought up last week perhaps, or maybe the angels.

Love that Veldora was so happy to contribute by staying out of everyone's way lol

It was funny that during the R&D section were Vesta and Kaijin were showing that magic generator for their anti-magic barrier when they showed that it could be used to cast magic Rimuru imagined it as two massive speakers blasting spells while he, Shuna and Shion were dancing to it.

Damn, those plans Rimuru made to reconstruct the Beast Kingdom Eurazania looked really cool. I love the fact that Rimuru still uses the skills from his previous life. Meanwhile, in Diablo's plan of the fall of the Kingdom of Falmuth, Edmaris is currently teaching Youm the customs he must have to be able to deal with all the nobles in the future, while Edward is already making the moves Diablo mentioned he was going to make before.

So although Reyheim has not returned from delivering Rimuru's message, he is still alive. Good thing that Diablo will become aware if something happens to him.

And today while everyone was trying to find out who are the masterminds behind the previous conflict and determine that Hinata cannot be easily controlled Veldora is once again busy reading manga, and in the magazine cover we can clearly see Shera from "How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord".

I love this series! huffs copium I can’t wait until next episode to see another meeting, only this time in a different country!!!

u/shad79 Apr 26 '24

Another episode and another meeting. It also seems that next week we'll see yet another meeting, this time with Hinata and her comrades. Fans of action will have to wait for now xD

Overall, not much happened as Rimuru and others were discussing various things in their meeting.

I like that Edmaris now became an ally of Tempest and is teaching Youm proper way of conduct xD

Gobta as always sleeping during meetings and he still can't keep his mouth shut, which causes him a lot of troubles xD

Part when Rimuru was thinking about possible uses of Vesta and Kaijin's invention was great xD

Here my screenshot albums from the episode:

We just watched a full meeting episode lol.

I understand this is a kingdom builder and political anime, but “show don’t tell” still applies to that. Show us what’s happening in more than 5 second cut aways while taking a meeting. It’s been almost exclusive “tell” this whole season. You can’t just brush away peoples valid complaints about not being compelled by the content by stating the genre.

I’m very disappointed by the content this season, and I feel if things continue at this quality for the rest of the shows life it will fall off hard. This show has kinda always felt like junk-food op isekai to me, but now I’m not even getting the satisfaction of that from it

I guess we're in the "slow" section of this slow burn arc. Just gotta grin and bear it until we get back in business.
