They've upgraded to hallway meetings and horseback meetings.

Jokes aside, the animation of the fights looked pretty decent this episode, or maybe I'm just action starved.

Having a unit of immortals looks to be pretty useful. And at least it seems more reasonable that Rimuru and Hinata don't just talk things out when fighting has already broken out before they get there.

Maybe my interpretation is wrong and the firework spell was aimed at the devices. I wish it was more clear, as in the WN it clearly states it hit Tomoe as well, and I wouldn't have expected her to have one. Here, we can't really see that but I'm not sure if that's just because of the view or a change. I assumed it had been a callback to the petrification stuff showing that Makoto could make people immune to things but, maybe not.

more novel firework stuff
The part that would make me think it's targeting the devices is that Root says "Did he get them all?" And Tomoe is like "Well, there isn't a second shot, so yea, I guess so". Wish they kept that. I feel like this scene really is the first showing of how powerful Makoto has become, as sure we get some scenes with training some kids and stuff but this is like, wide area, mass target spell that he instantly casts without a single miss

I'm sure you can tell I'm slightly biased here and overlook a lot of flaws 😆

It does feel kind of odd the demons can just march on both human capitals at the same time. Surely there should be like, a front line? Defenses? I suppose we're meant to think they got passed them, or somehow avoided them like teleporting, though teleportation seems like a big deal, I'm not sure what Limia king meant by "they appeared by star lake". Like, just spawned there?!

I can see what you mean in that a common complaint is to make one side seem smart, just make the other side act dumb. The hyumans do seem pretty lacking overall, though there are some who are at least realists like the princess. Rona always seemed like a pretty good strategist to me... but then again her first strategy is just "lol, hole in ground". I much more prefer all the other stuff like glamored demons showing up next to the world leaders which shows how far their reach/planning is

cut or maybe next ep stuff?
I do think it's fairly important to note, at least from memory, I think the demons didn't block telepathy until after the attack started. So the last anyone heard from Rotsgard, was the king/princess under attack, send troops, and then communication went dark.

Look up at the sky! It's the aurora borealis! No wait, it's just Makoto shooting off a firework 🎆

Hopefully people are a little happier that things are happening, but I guess it's still very low action-wise. The mutants were never a threat at all to the main cast, and that's spelled out very plainly by Zara. They can just stroll through the streets and clear any out on their way, while the actual guards, mercenaries, armies, can't even handle a couple, and not without losses.

Can clearly see all the important people realizing just how powerful Makoto and crew are now, especially with Sairitz upgrading the honorifics used when speaking to Makoto. Hopefully means that Makoto will get doormat'd less often, but I guess we'll see.

The transmission restoration felt a bit lackluster in the anime, but I guess it's not that important. I feel like it wasn't really clear what he did, not that the novel makes it any clearer, but obviously I think Tomoe is supposed to be implying he didn't destroy the devices to disrupt telepathy, but instead shot a spell at every single person in the entire area to block or counter the device, that was my understanding at least, I could be mistaken.

And now we see that it was all a ruse! Oh my goodness, finally, this is what I've been waiting for. I love that this whole thing was just a distraction from the actual plot. Seems like the demons had a lot going on while we were stuck in Rotsguard, who knows what is happening in the rest of the hyuman world.

I didn't really like Aqua and Eris in the novel, but I actually completely flipped my opinion in the anime. Their comic relief is pretty good.

Slime isekai storyboard meeting notes: ~~show don't~~ tell.

I'm going stir crazy from being locked in these rooms.

Now was this Rozzo family ever mentioned before? It always felt to me like a random group out of no where just to pad content. I guess it has ties to the "Merchants" that have been mentioned before but... It gives off the feeling of a random mafia playing politics with demon lords and gods, it feels so jarring, like a Bleach filler arc.

I guess it might be a good thing I'm not a director since I probably do focus on unimportant things. I just sort of always got the feeling from the source, and I don't think this is a spoiler it's just my feelings, that Root was a very conceited / egotistical kind of person. Maybe I just hallucinated that, because that's where I'm coming from is when the anime doesn't match my expectations of the character. Like I would've expected him to respond to being told someone is stronger than him with "You always were a kidder, Tomoe". I don't know, I feel like he's not really matching with my expectations, especially since people are calling him Luto instead. Like, did they really change that? Why?! It's like taking someone named Kuro that dresses all in black and being like "Actually, we'll translate their name as Jeffrey. Close enough". /rant

I knew as soon as I saw the preview post last week that I was going to have to prepare myself again for the comments on lack of action.

At least there was at least two fights this time, and both involving the main cast! Hey, that's something, right?

I'm trying to imagine what people were thinking when Ilumgand was talking about helping the hero and not interfering with Makoto. Cliché second chance? Then Mio is just "nah"

I didn't like HInata when she originally appeared, doubt I was alone there. I like her a lot more here where she's mostly just strategizing, regretting her initial encounter (appearance), and coming to her own conclusions about what is going on.

scene change from source?
So I think they changed the Nikolaus scene? All I remember from the manga is people saying they didn't change it there and that everyone was up in arms about it from, I assume, the LN, but it seems different in the anime?

I guess this series has always grappled with people really not liking when it spends time on other characters, like the students here or on the heroes before. I never really minded that too much, like in Overlord my favorite volumes are 7 or 12. Think it helps keep things fresh seeing from another perspective as long as the characters are relatively important, though I guess we haven't really seen any reason to care too much about the students besides the sisters so far.
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu 2nd Season • TSUKIMICHI -Moonlit Fantasy- Season 2 - Episode 17 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
To me that was fine, like I sort of interpreted it as: first they tried to let the professional (purple coats) handle things. When that didn't go well it cut to the students pointing and discussing, so I would imagine they were strategizing / buffing. Though I guess it is weird to let the enemy (supposedly) power up as well, it did work out in the end, so I'm like, you can't really blame them, maybe they needed that time to win too, we can't say without knowing what would've happened if they didn't prepare.

I guess I saw a lot of hate on that other site for this episode but, perhaps it's because I've read the source material, nothing here really surprised me, all those scenes (the sisters, merchant, king/prince, etc) happened in the novel, which is kind of why last week I said "just one more episode, and then another and another" because I don't really expect the climax of this whole thing any time soon.

The monsters do look a bit goofy, well Ilumgand looked a bit intimidating in some stills, maybe it's just the ED effecting us.

Overall a pretty calm episode. They should have served some tea and cakes. 😆

Fitting that Abelia gets the final blow, though perhaps not how Ilumgand's father would've wanted things to play out?

I did completely forget that it was Root that came up with the sword thing, I had thought it was Tomoe, so it's kind of interesting that he would say that seemingly randomly.

Rimuru planning to invent the dubstep gun from Saints Row IV (I actually thought this was from Worms WMD but looked it up, didn't realize it was a crossover)

Only round table politics again this episode, they can't keep getting away with this!

mastermind talk
The whole multi-mastermind thing seems a bit overly complicated and doesn't sound familiar to me at all. Kind of feels weird because I thought Raphael had identified who "he" was instantly in the WN or something like "it could literally only be one person think about what we know and what was said". Maybe I'm just misremembering, past the demon lord part I barely recall much of the story at this point

I probably just forgot it then, most likely has been a while, and I think when I did reread it I probably started where this episode ends, funny enough, since everything before it kind of felt like the prologue to me.

When I saw that line somehow I knew it would be the one you would pick

When it comes to pacing, I do wonder how they storyboard this stuff. I feel like the rigid ~25min, 12 or 13 episodes must make it difficult. Like how they're going to split up the future content, I have no idea. I have some idea of stopping points but, there's a lot to do and feel like not a lot of great stopping points, though I guess cliffhangers are a thing.

I do wonder if non-aired anime ever gets more freedom of like, "ok this time we're going to do a 32 minute episode". "ok this season will be 16 episodes". Maybe not a thing but wonder if it would make pacing things much easier
⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Tsuki ga Michibiku Isekai Douchuu 2nd Season • TSUKIMICHI -Moonlit Fantasy- Season 2 - Episode 16 discussion⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:
A bit of backstory at the start which sort of rounds the plot out. Feel like most of it was pretty obvious, but they really spelled it out for people just in case they weren't able to pick up on hair styles in shadowy back alleys. I am shocked by what happened at the end of the episode... If it wasn't for the opening which has had the scene this whole time.

I can't quite remember if the whole Hibiki thing was a thing in the WN or if that was added in the LN. I don't quite remember it from the WN, but as 1Fuji2Taka3Nasubi noted, it's been mentioned in the manga at least.

It does feel like the demons really had a ton of pieces to play for here. A potential hero party member, messing with Rotsgard, which I can't remember if it was a trade center or education center or both for the humans, but I'm pretty sure it's important. The Limia, king? was it? Empire princess, adventurer guild master, and those Lorel Union folks. And all they had to do was potentially make Makoto less favorable to them. Seems like it should be worth it. Especially since Rona just made an informal verbal agreement not to harm Makoto, it's his fault for not getting things in writing, so he can't be too mad, right?

Excited that it's finally kicking off, one more week, and then another, and then maybe a few more... until the end.

People will have put their kids through college before Rimuru and Hinata actually fight like they have been in OPs since the first season.

Another episode of politics down.

Looks like it's time to hold another festival. Wonder how many the series has had so far...

Definitely was finding it hard to describe what I mean, my store has a bakery/butchery in it and I think they prepare things in-house, like bake bread/muffins and then throw them in plastic bags, make batches of mac and cheese and throw it in plastic tubs, etc. It's possible they ship some stuff in and that wouldn't work, but I just meant for things that were literally like oven to shelves stuffed into plastic bags, maybe it'd be nice if it could be used there.

Not a scientist so couldn't quite tell from the article, but all of the prepared / cooked food I see at my grocery store is packed in plastic containers. They all have shelf life of that day / maybe a couple of days (this is like a buffet + packed / prepared meals, not sure what exactly to describe it as). I always thought it would be great if that could be less wasteful, it'd definitely make me feel more likely to buy it instead of all being in single use plastic containers.

Ahaha, I can imagine people being unhappy about it. I always like to see MCs lose battles but win wars, especially when it's not about actual fighting. And this seems pretty realistic in a "your books don't work out" kind of IRL auditing you would expect. I guess the one thing is, with how insanely competent Shiki and crew seem to be, you'd think they would have already thought about this obvious flaw, but I guess you could also chalk it up to them not caring and knowing they could just pave all the capitals if they wanted to.

Wasn't sure if this entire episode was going to be the full tournament or not, but the change half way helped break things up between action and story. Always good to see MCs lose in creative ways. Certainly seems to set up some interesting implications on the future if sides are being picked.

I kept forgetting to mention in the last couple episodes that vol 1 of the LN is available in the West now

INTRIGUE! the episode

One of my fears with having such a hype OP, not sure how long it will take to live up to it as there's always so much setup

I almost feel bad for Princess Lily.

I forget how much they went into detail back... Oh I was going to say season 1 but obviously it was at the start of this season. But she obviously has a difficult past, just like a lot of the characters. All of the factions are just doing the best with the hands they've been dealt and the story does a good job being a bit realistic imo in that people act cautiously when they don't have information or continuously try to infiltrate / spy on other factions.

I don't want to get overly excited because remembering Overlord season 1 opening also had a ton of scenes that were only in much later seasons. But thinking about what happens, it all really does hit the fan all at once now that I remember.

Oh and I meant to say definitely recognize the OP band from the first season, good to hear them again, really like the original OP

The new OP is so hype and also spoils so much! Though I can't believe it if they're going to go through all of what was shown, what a wild ride the rest of the cour will be. I've certainly forgotten about some events and specifically when things happen, surprised to already see them happening. And also really interested in the fact that some things haven't been cut, like I would've expected the church stuff to be cut (I might be forgetting anything related to it a bit, I know there is some importance there, as we got a shot through the veil right at the end, but could see it as something to speed past if they wanted to, them taking their time is a good sign).

This episode felt like it paced itself so well to where when the halfway mark showed up I thought the episode was over, felt like it had already been an hour.

We have a couple people in the lemmy support matrix and have been keeping a close eye on things. So far I have not witnessed or heard it happening for any Mbin instance. The code has diverged a lot at this point, so it's hard for me to say whether it's something that could affect us. But, obviously the consequences of this are being felt severely by instance owners, so like I said, we're trying to watch out for anything, and keeping track of metrics / queues.
