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

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
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
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 but it seems like the main evil faction now is opposed to "economic development"
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
so I'll give them credit for that
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
I am really enjoying it
it's just weird that I think using monster racism would be a better justification fr
The message is all racism is actually just a cover for the real reason bad things happen, economic trade deals

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
(the number was not important)
1 season per main fighting area clearly
gotta really spread this out
I need to see sato and tail guy fight
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 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
