What did you think of the episode?
I was so hyped about Rimuru crashing the army, but it turned out to be another 20 minutes of dialogues, a little bit disappointing. Now I'm extremely impatient for the next week :x
they had a shit ton of dialogue though in the manga for before and after the fights. Next episode won't be Rimuru vs humans too. Probs gonna end with him entering the camp. It will just be Hakorou and Geld vs OtherWorlders.
That's my prediction.
But "Megiddo", the title for the next episode, is the title of chapter 65 in the manga
"where Rimuru kills everyone." <---lol some mod edit my comment and put this under a spoiler tag. Its not a spoiler, Rimuru literally says he is gonna wipe out the entire army last episode.
Now this is a spoiler
Chapter 66, titled Merciless, is when they confront the king and Rimuru starts his evolution and summons Diablo
This episode was ok, it's not easy to take the decision to kil 10000 humans, so we and Rimuru got reminded that this is his friends, his nation, and this family, thus he has to protect them at any cost, and with those dialogues everyone got their wills back, I found it reasonable before a fucking 10k ppl massacre.
Murder and Torture are always ok in anime. Redo of Healer taught us that. 20,000 people, pshhhh that's nothing. Even in real life, Hitler put that to shame. I want to see Rimuru kill 20k people, I couldn't care less if it was justified.
That's because you're a nutter.
Seriously straight in with the godwin's law, like really? If Redo Healer has taught us anything it's that people are nutters, like you.
And I like Redo Healer not because it's good, no because it's ridiculous. It's written like the ramblings of an edgy teen. This seems to be a major narrative failing of this series if how it proceeds is correct.
Just brushing off 10,000 people dead, good or bad because we need to make a joke about Shion's food being bad. Well if that's your story telling chops then you've left me terribly disappointed.
wdym, Redo of Healer is 10/10. I don't care if it was written well, it's enjoyable to watch for me. LMAO I am not watching anime to analyze every little detail about it. What can I say, revenge is really fun to watch. Rimuru is about to murder everyone without mercy and I am going to enjoy it so much.
Anime is just entertainment, they aren't going to teach history in school with Isekai animes lol.
and honestly, I really don't give two fucks about disappointing a random weeb who thinks he knows everything about telling a story. If it's fun to watch, it's fun to watch, nothing more to it. If it's not enjoyable to watch because you think you can tell a better story, then don't watch it. Criticism and comments from the west won't stop an anime from airing every week.
Well you enjoy your hate boner freak and i'll dislike my poor narrative story telling.
I'm not against such a situation within a narrative, but this is yet another failure in tone for a coherent narrative such as found in this show in particular. The writing comes across as either shallow or childish, with this half-baked moral crisis.
This show has been nothing but idealistic, but now we have "realism". It would've been better if Rimuru got his Demon Lord power from killing Clayman, and then resurrected everyone, 10,000 humans included. At least that would've been in keeping. Not this shite.
Huh... If you want to see unjustified violence and killing go for something like Berserk, Corpse Party or Higurashi no Naku Koro ni, Tensei Shitara tells the story of a king who wants peace.
Thanks for the recommendations though the first Berserk was made in 1997, not watching that. Old animes look old(obviously lol). If the story is good, cool, the art looks awful, I am not going to bother. The art looks like something that aired on those cube televisions in 144p in my grandma's school when they are watching documentaries. I am ok with a bad story/plot but with crisp art and animation, can't stand the other way around. Its just not that enjoyable, I might as well just read the LN instead.
Corpse Party is just a 10 min horror.
Higurashi seems alright because it's a recently made anime. Anything that's really old is not enjoyable to watch because most of the time it's either bad quality or bad art. Like why does everyone in Code Geass have long-ass limbs? The only exception is probably Clannad with their really large eyes but I mostly skimmed through it. Might check it out.
Also no matter how any story progresses, I side with the main character. Rimuru knowing who to give a fuck about and who not to is awesome. Rimuru can do whatever he wants, justified or not, and this show is still a 10/10. A wholesome character turning dark just because he can is awesome.
I am very excited for next week's episode, but, even they are monsters, I do find it a bit weird that their morale can go from 0 to 100 that quickly after losing so many comrades. Even if they can revive the fallen, 3% is still pretty low, and I definitely wouldn't have minded if some people doubted Rimuru's plan.
the first 15 mins is basically just recap the series and the later half is for prep-work....This is kinda of the thing i somewhat hate in season 1, they spend a lot of time stretching thing like this and make the ep feel way too long than it need to be.
While I do agree that some of the things they do in each episode seem a little too dragged on, it also doubles as more suspense for what will happen in the next episode.
I do believe however that next episode will have the actual Rimuru massacre and him gaining enough human souls to evolve into a true demon lord. I just want to see Hakurou say his badass line (and hope the anime doesn't cut it out)
