EP. REVIEW: That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

Most people think it's supposed to be Lafiel from Crest of the Stars and the previous blond and red haired one from his image in the campfire are Zelda and Malon. All would fit perfectly with the whole 90's elves thing. And yeah, EVERYONE recognized Deedlit and Pirotess. They're THE 90's fantasy elves.

I mean DAYUM. Parn and Ashram have it GOOD.

If you look at the credits for the episode, they thank Mizuno Ryo and Group SNE, creators of Record on Lodoss Wars, Izubuchi Yutaka, who was the illustrator for the Lodoss novels, original character designer, and character designer for the Lodoss OVAs, and Kadokawa, publishers of Lodoss, for their cooperation.

I didn't like this episode either. Kaijin just giving up on the King because of Rimuru felt like the good old "making the protagonist the center of everyone's lives as soon as they appear" thing that happens in many light novels. Even the King only really punishes Vesta because of Rimuru leaving.

And with Shizu's arrival the series will finally start to really get interesting. I just hope the anime really details her backstory the way the LNs did. Really hammers the feels

I am a little confused. if shizu is from WWII era, how did she get whatever game reference rimur did?

I was wondering this as well. Did she not say that someone else from Japan mentioned/explained it to her, though?

Thats exactly what she said. Remember what Veldora said way back in ep 1. There are others who were summoned here like Shizu and Rimuru and one of Rimuru's early goals was to look for more people just like him.

As for her age itll naturally be explained as long as they animate her backstory properly.

As for the game reference its from Dragon Quest

Yeah, i think i remember something similar from dragon quest iv, but what we think doesn't add up is the fact that she was able to understand a reference from a video game when she was born in a era before them. Or are you saying she met another summoned hero that is from modern day Japan and they just decided to randomly share with her a quotation from a videogame then proceed to explain to her why it is supposed to be funny, then when she met rimur she some how laughed at the reference as intended despite only having an intellectual understanding of it since she never played the game herself? Seems like too specific of a coincidence and that's living alone the fact that the other hero had coincidentally played dragon quest in their life and had a liking for the same reference rimur does

READ AT YOUR OWN RISK

spoiler[One of the 5 kids she was with was another summoned kid from Japan but from a much more modern and recent time. he's the one she's referring to when she said someone from her country said it.]

spoiler[that's not quite right. all of the 5 kids are summoned from another world, not just 1. and the one who ended up telling her about the game is none of them but in fact a different summoned japanese boy (yuuki) that she trained along with another summoned girl (hinata)]
