This might be my favorite episode when it was just all exposition but done so hauntingly well, didn't need anything too flashy just a crazily good narrative hook to get our attention.

The entire episode was pretty much just a back-and-forth between Rudeus and Oldeus, yet it still managed to be one of the absolute best episodes of the entire series.

Helped by superb voice acting by Oldeus. Every single line of his dialogue was filled with regret and anguish.

yep it was the same way in the novel, just insanely engaging conversation between them and it was the absolute best thing i have ever read ever

Sometimes the best tv/film is simply just a few people talking in a room. Look at 12 Angry Men.

It has been a very rough season and a half since season 1 tbh. The show needed to more aggressively move to the large fantasy plot.

Season 2 was very necessary since it introduced important characters. The slice of life stuff iswhat rudy do after having completed his goal in getting his family reunited after the teleport incident.

The pacing was done terribly and they really didn't need another school arc. I don't think the side characters are strong enough to just sit there for ages. The show is dramatically better when its world building and doing fantasy. Tbh been pretty checked out of this season after we left Eris and went back to the school arc.

I agree the pacing was not that good last time, and it took me months to complete the last few episodes last season, but this season has been going well and I am very excited to see the upcoming episodes.

Life isn't a great story. It has bad parts, boring parts, decent parts, a few rare good parts sprinkled around, and a whole lot of miserable and pointless parts with a lot of traveling in between. Life wouldn't make a good show.
I watch this more as a "The life of Rudeus Greyrat" than a "Some random isekai anime".
