Unless epiosde 8 will be half and half first 12 mins the rest of Vol 1 and the rest the start of Vol 2 Just face the inevitable truth... We will only get to see up until the end of LN volume 3. If at this point they suddenly change the pace, it would probably destroy this anime because LN volume 2 is actually longer than LN volume 1... And I had one thing that irked me this episode, as good as it was: These are supposed to be high-speed battles. Unfortunately the anime has that bad habit of any attack being prepared or activating essentially "stopping time" without actually doing so, as in you see someone charge up while the enemy just stands around doing nothing. We had that multiple times this episode, like when Koenig shot his feathers, Ifrit!Shizu slowly activated his/her flame powers, calmly raised his/her hand and shot a beam of fire at Koenig, all that WHILE feathers were flying at her at what looked to be quite a bit of speed from like what? 5m? 10m? away, but when he/she started his/her attack, it seemed like the feathers stopped moving. Similarily when Rimuru just stopped moving when Ifrit was using his Flare Circle, though to be fair, based on how it was described in the other mediums, Rimuru probably couldn't have dodged the attack because the circle also had an integrated barrier to trap the target - but Rimuru didn't even seem to try to dodge. And I remember quite a few people mentioning that in episode 1 it seemed like Satoru had more than enough time to dodge the knife. That's pretty much the only negative point for this anime I can think of. |

| That was an amazing episode! I loved everything about it! |
It's only a passing thing, this shadow. Even darkness must pass. A new day will come. And when the sun shines it will shine out the clearer. |
kidlat020 said: wait, wasn't shizu, and ultimately ifrit, that caged the storm dragon? I smell revenge. Yeah, I was confused about that (even though I'm caught up on manga adaptation), so I googled it and SPOILED THE CRAP out of the future plot for myself. So DON'T DO IT. They're different heroes, that's all I can say. |
| The douche even shortened her name from Shizue to Shizu, as if binding a fire spirit in her wasn't enough... hope he burns. |
| First good episode of the show. Less for the fight but more for the female lead's backstory. Decent stuff. The previous 6 episodes left a bland impression so I hope it starts getting more intense and engaging from here on out. |
| Is Rimuru drawing power from Veldora while inside of him or he just acquired his abilities and attributes after absorbing him. That would explain Rimuru's OPness. If that were true then he'll draw from Ifrit as well. |

| Black caped hero = from 300 years (="centuries") ago, sealed Veldora. White caped hero, aka Shizu(e Izawa), aka conqurer of flames = from "about 50 years ago" and proclaimed herself to be "decades" old. |

| Omfg that was a dope episode |
 |
| I would say the biggest downfall of this series so far is how difficult it is to feel any tension. Part of it is the fact that Rimuru is too broken for no good reason. There's no real way that the audience could reasonably believe that Rimuru is ever going to be in danger given that at worst he'll get some asspull assistance from Tempest. But I think more importantly it's because Rimuru himself conveys no sense of tension. Shizu screaming in pain and burning? Gonna sit there. Shizu turning into a dude on fire? Gonna sit there. Shizu burning my village the fuck down? Gonna sit there. Then finally when he starts playing ball and gets encircled in a firestorm, he's still making dumbass jokes and doing emojis with his body. It's impossible to actually give a shit about the dangers that are supposed to legitimately threaten him. What confuses me is that his reaction to getting stabbed was fairly reasonable in ep. 1 but once he became a slime his disposition became completely nonchalant and it totally takes away from the sort of immersion you should try to build in a fantasy sword and magic series. Not a bad series per se, but this is starting to become a slime version of Death March without the T&A. |
| Each episode seems like five minutes because I'm enjoying every second of it. Ifrit is just having a bad day. Met a slime who was better than him and then he met slime's family: Veldora Tempest, the storm dragon. Shizu's titties were exceptionally big in this episode, they didn't seem that big before. I hope there will be more Rimuru cuteness in the next episode. |
| 臭い- |
| I'm a little sad that Rimuru didn't eat one of those salamanders... Because why not have fire powers too? |
| This was a damn friggin' awesome badass insane episode!!! sad past flashback of Shizu, poor Pirino & Pizu perished to Ifrit's flames that Shizu can't control! Nice! Rimuru made the Icicle Lance and upgraded magic, Icicle Shotgun! LOL Rimuru also isn't aware that he's too overpowered! Ifrit was totally no match against Rimuru! and Verudora gave such a badass lecture! not even a fire creature Ifrit would attempt to do anythng when fecing a dragon at it's own domain/realm! I guess Shizu would definitely follow Rimuru since he used Predator unique skill that would probably unshackle Ifrit's curse of him staying on Shizu's body! 5/5!!! |
 |
| Lots of actions this episode. They did pretty well with the action scenes I think. And use of sound effects were good too. R.I.P Shizue. It was a short time knowing you. |

| This episode single handedly raised my score to a 10. Every episode prior to this has been a great ride, but this one takes the cake. I was freaking out from total hype. Rimuru is an absolute badass. |

| It sucks to be Shizu... He forgot he’s immune to fire lol |
 |
| How nice to see Veldora again! I can't help but wonder where the hell everything that the slime eats goes tho... |
   |
| Ifrit looks awesome |
 |
| That sure took a dark turn in the beginning, poor girl, Shizu too ._. Lold at "Great Sage" thingie sighing when explaining to Rimuru. Animation is looking pretty damn good! |
 |
| It's nice of them to provide some background about Shizu. The fight scene personally felt dead/boring with the way they are trying to buy time. |
 |
| The opening song is so lame. Decent story, mostly good visually, though certain scenes could have been better. Liked most of the background music although shitty brostep was shitty. |
| In some ways, I liked the episode, because it was a bit different from the usual and we have not seen so much fanservice, in favor of more action. But the character of Limur is invincible, does not put in favor of the anime series. |

| The RAW version started airing just now... I wish those JP TV channel livestreams would still exist that people linked to me in the past. Unfortunately I'll have to make do with twitter images under #tensura |
