Like the slow pacing isn't the issue, it is the fact the pacing has been straight-up bad. There have been other shows that progress slowly and it works. I'm not a big fan of Realist Hero, but that is an example of a slow pace show that works. (Granted it would benefit by going slower)It wouldn't be so bad if the show didn't have the slowest pacing ever
I watch an episode a month now its like slime punishes you for catching up
Like ep 1 you had the gang back together and in ep 2 we had a big villain reveal and the private meetings regarding Veldora. Which all I was fine with.
But ep 3 nothing actually happened. And all honestly it felt like they were given an extra episode for this cour and they didn't know what to do with it. Which should absolutely be criticized since they could have potentially created an anime-original episode to flesh out their side characters more as one idea. I'm sure the source readers loved it, but in terms of adaptation for the anime, it was awful direction on their parts. Not to mention the cliffhanger at the end of ep 2 never got addressed if I recall correctly.
I am assuming things will start picking up next week since all the source readers have been hyping this arc.
