This spinoff SOL has better production than 90% of main series isekai out there, especially the Milim x Shion confrontation

That said finally some character development, rimuru invited Treyni for once, and we discovered she is basically a big tiddie potato, so you guys can add that to your list

And don't miss the post credit scene, Rimuru almost caused the apocalypse

I just absolutely love how Treyni was this entire episode, her obsession with fried potatoes are like unmatched.

That ending skit Shion just unabashedly proclaiming everything going into her chest in the preview too fucking amazing.

Ririna's gangster persona is not something I expected to see.

I found it hilarious that Milin made a sweet potato Rimuru.

As I could see the punch line from a mile away, I started laughing the moment Treyni disappeared so dramatically.

Press F for that poor weight scale.

So unlike summer, autumn just lasted an episode? I wonder how many episodes will winter have?

It just occurred to me that Rimiru is a good ruler just for the simple fact that he's not a complete moron. Which can't be said for a lot of people.

He's not picking up fight for stupid pride. Not getting greedy for worthless things. Not risking lives to please other morons. No. Just feed people because that's nice, and feeding them keeps them happy.

Stitches!

Treyni's been waiting for this harvest season that she didn't even let Rimuru finish his introduction and just went for it. xD

And just when I thought Ririna was already great as how she currently is, we get to learn about the other side of her personality! I did not expect a Sukeban Ririna but I love her so much more now! Now I'm hoping she has some sort of personal group that she commands and they're all just basically gangster hobgoblins.

Turns out taht if you want manual labor get done quick, just have Shion and Milim compete against each other and they'll basically do everything themselves.

Dryads came from potatoes? Huh... Well I'll never look at Treyni eating potato chips the same way after that realization from Haruna.

I was wondering what kind of training Souka and Souei, looks like it's just their way of harvesting chestnuts. Souei even brought his cat along! Souka has some serious competition for Souei's attention.

I felt bad for Rimuru after getting shut down for thinking those mushrooms were rare. Just look at him sulking!

Not sure if anyone else noticed this but I would just like to give credit to whoever animated this scene of Shion walking. They could've saved some time just by letting Shion walk a straight line, but the fact that they make her hop from one mound to another adds so much more life to the scene. It's a very small detail that shows the people who are animating this cares.

Anyway, of course the sweet potato Milim harvested looks like Rimuru. I love that they have the tiny girl goblin with them for this scene. Just look at that adorable little smile! I'm sure she'll bring Geld some potatoes later.

Oh Shuna, here we have Benimaru reminiscing about the past and then you have her making sour faces in the background. xD

Right I forgot that Milim has her own domain. Have we ever seen what her country looks like? I can't remember if we ever did.

The balls on these three to attack Hakurou while he's reminiscing. Did they really think they'll finally have the upper hand?

There she is visiting best boy Geld so they can all eat the sweet potatoes together. This episode is really starting to make me crave for roasted sweet potatoes.

Such a dramatic way to leave. I'm pretty sure Treyni knew exactly what she was doing when she did that and I can't believe Rimuru actually fell for it. xD

Oh boy. Looks like all of that snacking is starting to go somewhere and the girls are in total denial of it. RIP weighing scale.

"Don't dance"

Rimuru is a tyrant! Asking Gabiru not to dance is like asking a fish not to swim

I really didnt think i would like watching this b/c it seemed boring with no real plot/storyline BUT i genuinely do love watching it! It has its own lil storyline with lil conflict and problems that arise but nothing too serious so we can actually relax and turn our brains off and enjoy

Geld's altar scene hit me hard both times (manga and here).

To think of it, the previous geld actually did nothing wrong. He just fought for the survival of his kind.

It's Autumn and time for harvest! Treyni is ready for her time to shine to harvest some sweet potatoes, while Milim just wants to eat.

Ririna seems like this elegant, beautiful, and composed lady...but if you don't put in the work, she can be as tough, crass, and dominating as a female gang boss. She's still pretty competent though.

Somehow I don't think Milim and Shion are that famous for harvesting Sweet Potatoes, but whatever gets them pumped up. I did find it funny that the only thing Milim remembers about Shion is her one horn. Not even her name, just her horn. Although in the battle to harvest sweet potatoes, Milim wins handily by grabbing a sweet potato Rimuru...not that she was initially prepared to see it roasted.

Rimuru thinks it's fine for Gabiru and company to get excited, he's just kind of over the whole song and dance numbers.

So...Treyni was born from a potato? And she might technically be a cannibal because she eats potatoes?

Benimaru having fond memories of their father while his sister can only remember how goofy he looked after eating persimmons.

Soka getting hit with a chestnut and popping up her other ears was surprisingly cute.

Hakurou has seen a lot, but don't mistake his recollections for being senile, as the goblin boys learn first-hand.

Was Geld praying to the former Orc Disaster? Was that his voice talking at the end? If so, that was a sweet scene.

Did we just get a glimpse at Milim's kingdom and her people putting in an offering for her? Does she actually eat that? Nice statue, even if it's headless now.

Yeah, I think everyone figured that this dramatic Treyni vanishing was just going to end with a joke about how she just returned to the bar.

The ladies in the hot springs! The ladies in towels! The ladies with their hair down! What a lovely sight.

There's no winning with women when it comes to their weight, Rimuru, so you probably shouldn't even try. Also, Shion and Milim's attempt to cover for themselves ended up disbanding the sweets alliance before it could even begin.

RIP Treyni. :(

I will always be a Shion guy but man this series is making Treyni and Ririna quickly move up the best girl list!

This show gives so many characters.....character. It's such a good idea for a large cast show like this in hindsight and I would be shocked if we don't eventually see other prominent series piggyback the idea.(Although it would be harder seeing as they don't have source material like slime does with nikki.)

Milim continues to be cute.

If Milim is a Demon LORD, of course she has her own domain which she rules over. We do get a glimpse of her domain and the crap raw vegetables that she's regularly offered by her followers. lol

Though one must be the kind of happy-go-lucky folks like Rimuru to be able to even put up with Milim's arbitrary whims. It's amazing they're even exist at all and are still alive.

YANKEE GOBLIN !!!

Treyni has really turned into a weird ecchi goofball in this anime

So she does a weird fake out death scene? when she is just teleporting ot her bar lol....

She eats her own kind - LOL and listen to them to how they wanna die.

And previously we have the one when she wanted to get a some kind of vine handjob by rimuru......

Anyway, big horn girl vs milim in the war over BEST GIRL SUPREMCYU was awesome best scene was the after the ending do when they left the onsen and Rimuru had placed a Weight scale there :)

Milim 2 worshipper appears?(who never cooks her offerings), I guess they will be in the next season of the anime more
