anime

anyone know if the titular fluent russian speaker is speaking with a believable accent?

My read is that she's choosing to speak slowly to simulate an accent, she's a good VA and did a good job here

I like Russian anime characters

Dungeon Meshi's last episode was good

the weird part will be, they only have 1 more cour left to adapt, so it's kind of strange how they aired a 24e S1

probably early-mid next year they'll air the last arc

the play is to not air a 2nd season at all and leave everyone in permanent suspense

Not surprising. Dungeon Meshi was doing very well and Trigger seems to like it

I think the second half has been way stronger than the first half

the adaptation is 66-75% complete depending on how you count chapters/story adaptation

so there's not much left to go, my guess is they got a headstart on production after S1 blew sales expectations out of the water

Yeah that is probably the case

so we'll probably see the conclusion early-mid next year

Oh, that’s convenient

oh no

It's the same people who made Promare. The visuals to that movie looked good, but I never saw it.

Trigger made Promare

Oh it's just the people who did the CG

Unrelated because you are mistaken, but I think trigger is a good studio for visuals

a certain type of show that needs to stretchy goofy animation, they nail

Can someone explain the motivations behind the evil faction in Slime Isekai?

which one

(I have not watched todays episode)

the vamp larpers

so, monster racism made sense Daemon Lord supremacy or influence jockying made sense

personal vendettas against the Storm Dragon or against human reincarnations makes sense sure

but it seems like the main evil faction now is opposed to "economic development"

and I feel like I have to be missing something

subtle political commentary

if it's that, I genuinely can't see the parallels is the thing you get mentions here or there about Eastern Merchants or w/e, but nothing that makes sense for the ultimate evil faction to oppose the MC and destabilize half the world to prevent international trade from occurring

I think the premise that they just hate Japanification, and need to prevent Slime from using his isekai autism to invent ramen shops

would be better writing than what we got

they should just really hate mayonaise

it's a merchant faction so... i guess they want to keep wealth centralized in their territory as opposed to shifting to Tempest. i think they're gonna get pushed aside by.... Yuuki's(if that was his name) faction, since it seems he's manipulating them in some way. actually grandmaster yuuki is the one i dont understand. idk if i'm forgetting something from previous seasons, but idk why he wants rimuru dead.

My guess is that Yuuki is opposed to Japan for w/e reason, and that ends up being the overall motivation, which I said was fine The merchant vamp faction though, I feel like I want the show to explain to me PRECISELY how economic development is bad, because they used that line in today's episode and it was laughable. If they decide to use some justification like: "we use monsters as slave labour, and Tempest prevents us from getting cheap slaves" that's at least something, even though it's ooc because Rimaru isn't anti-slavery. But you know as well as I do Dialga, that economics is not a zero sum game and increasing the overall production in the world is EXACTLY WHAT MERCHANTS WANT because they can trade more finished goods then. They did bring up the angels again, which are a funny mechanic, but are probably the only interesting aspect left to play with since the power scaling of the rest of the world is completely solved at this point

idk, I'm just annoyed that the merchant faction is opposed to merchanting

today's episode of meetings was much better paced than the other 10 meeting episodes though

but spooky listen, what if they're bad merchants

who only know Eu4 trade mechanics

the guy at the end of the trade route is the winner, not the whole trade route

They spent all their bird mana re-rolling for admirals

" I feel like I want the show to explain to me PRECISELY how economic development is bad" Slime S3 is the inverse of spice and wolf

lol

Speaking of, I am an episode behind, but Passione is killing it with the remake

anyway spooky the idea i think is being run with

I am really enjoying it

it's just weird that I think using monster racism would be a better justification fr

is similar to why Falmuth wanted to stop Tempest. The new route bypassed them so less merchants would pass through and help their own local economy

The message is all racism is actually just a cover for the real reason bad things happen, economic trade deals

another manga I think would be a fun anime

It's begun, over 6 minutes of recap + OP to get to the actual new material in this weeks MHA

also narration for people who somehow skipped everything up until this point for some reason

you could forget the number

(the number was not important)

man there's 7 seasons of MHA now?

probably only one to go

unless they really want to spread it out

1 season per main fighting area clearly

gotta really spread this out

I need to see sato and tail guy fight

everyone gets their time in the sun this arc

man i don't even remember what happened in the 2 seasons i watched

the first two?

yeah

i think that's through the stain encounter

oh it has the final exams arc too

Season 1

• Deku meets all might, trains, joins UA
• Class fights which is basically just deku and bakugo's first fight and nothing else worth mentioning
• Villians attack USJ and you get the cool all might vs nomu fight Season 2
• Tournament arc
• Internship training arc
• Nomu's attack the town and deku + todoroki + lida fight stain
• final exams

I am eagerly waiting for that leaked Vigilantes project

Vigilantes even has main plot relevance, but at this point the main series is too far along for it to matter

I feel like their plan is to do Vigilantes after they finish the main series at this point

so that they can keep making MHA despite there being no justification

saving best for last while then forcing horikoshi to make a sequel

there's a whole arc on Eraserhead's backstory including the kid who became Kurogiri

he showed up in Vigilantes before the main series got to it which was interesting
