It's kind of amazing that the VTuber industry has restrained themselves and not created one giant bubble
It's actually stable and growing at a healthy rate, for what it is
Man, the second half of season 2 was so good
this season just sucks
also have not watched todays episode
Mint, I like slime, but I think the real issue is studio 8bit overextended
they are doing 3 seasons 3s this season
if they were just doing slime, I think it'd be less bad, but they are also doing yuru camp and irregular
Replying to mint #wimint but yes this current arc has the least climatic conclusion, although that's the point of it, they avoided the war that practically everyone was trying to create
I am moreso pissed that the Hinata fight they were hyping up since season 1 (they showed it in the season 1 opening) was lame
"the point is for the show to be bad"
bad take
sorry mint
They never need to right, which is true. But they did and the fight was lame
If I had to rank the cores of slime, season 1 cour 1> season 2 cour 2 > season 1 cour 2 > season 2 cour 1 = season 3 cour 1
I really like slime too, I just think this season has been worse than average
Anyways this discussion made me revamp my rankings now that most shows are either done or almost done this season
For top shows this year I have watched
Replying to mint #wimint still, the point is it's the one arc where they tease a fight that never happens just to prove they can actually control situations a bit and not just get played like a pawn every arc
the fight does happen though?
I am confused what you mean. The Hinata fight does happen
it is just lame
Minto, this season of Slime's adaptation is terrible
it's a literal meme that every episode is a boardroom meeting
and somehow still, the entire plot is characters getting obviously tricked/manipulated, REALIZING THAT, and still going along with being tricked/manipulated for some reason
Hinata seeing Tempest for the "first" time was good, and the Lumia scenes are funny
I can't think of anything else that was well done though, writing a plot where the charcters act retarded "and that's the point" is fucking stupid

The Rest
I'm close to dropping madome down a tier, yeah I will
Did you not like konosuba?
oh sorry, added
I didn't like Konosuba as much as the prior seasons, it's probably borderline 3* 4* for me
same with Madome
Interesting. I really liked this season. I think while the last 2 episodes were just okay, there were a few episodes that I'd place as top Konosuba episodes along with S1 and S2 top episodes
I'm trying to think of a name for it
I didn't find the majority of the S3 studios' humor interjections funny
the dry humor, like the deadpan pauses and sarcasm imo are peak
which is 100% of what S1 and like 80% of S2 and the movies were
now it's maybe 20-30% at most for S3
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak the fight does happen though?
well they both know they don't have to at this point but do it anyways, neither actually intend to kill each other anymore
The S3 studio mostly interjects with the romance-gag humor? idk what to call it
Polu's take is both the original and this one have their merits, but this one is very good
I felt like I was going crazy, so I rewatched S1 and S2 midway through this season
and confirmed that 100%, I still like the old style
I have not seen the original, but I think Passione is doing a good job and I really like it
and Mint, Spice and Wold is a really good adaptation
The upside to this one mint, is the original adaptation will never get more, this one will get completed
it kept the same pace as the original, which was a big thing for me
So I watched the og anime, then read the novels
so my context is mostly the novels
and ^^^
also they are not going to skip things the original skipped
