Due to all the action of the previous season I kind of forgot how fun the show is when they focus on building up their territory and dealing with issues that pop up. Such a calm/relaxing vibe, there is a reason why that slice of life spin-off was worth watching.

I am enjoying every episode yet there is truth to people saying that like half of the season so far has consisted of meetings to discuss events. Slime is not a fast paced show but it is getting to be a tad much now.

I don't generally read other boards or comments - I just chose this one and stuck with it I guess - but just to make it official, I'm one of the people saying, "We're four episodes in, stop talking and break something already." There should be a balance in these things IMHO, and I have a feeling this one's going to be talk, talk, talk, talk,, and then fight, fight, fight, fight. Which I guess is kind of a balance, but I'd prefer some talk, fight, talk, fight myself.
(Self proclaimed champion of the nuanced review).

I mean, it's been six episodes straight of people just sitting around tables talking. I think, in animated form especially, this really falls into an issue of "telling, not showing". It works better in literary form, but anime is fundamentally a visual medium... and in this context, it's basically everyone saying what they're going to do so we know ahead of time who's going to be where and doing what, and then we'll just... see it play out later. When we were already told what's going to happen.
I basically like Slime Tensei, and worldbuilding does have its place. But for the love of Nep, you could at least use the talking time to showcase the different places and the daily lives of the citizens or something.
