That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Episode 18

For this weeks episode of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, it was a somewhat slow episode but was used as a setup for next weeks (hopefully) epic fight with the Charybdis.

Here's a quick summary: This week we saw the return of Phobio angered over the humiliation at the hands of the adorable Milim Nava. Clayman's minions trick him into becoming the vessel for the revival of the Charybdis, a legendary monster born from Veldora. On the other side of things, in the town of Rimuru, we see Treyni's sister show up to warn our lovable group of monsters about the impending doom that the Charybdis brings. All of this is to set up next week's episode for the battle against the Charybdis.

Okay, so there is something that caught my attention at the end of this weeks episode. In the war room we get a conversation with Rimuru where he mentions the Demon Lord Leon Cromwell. This was something new that was added to the anime and was not part of the manga. We were able to see that Leon Cromwell is indeed a powerful foe, one that is much stronger than the Charybdis. After next week's battle with the Charybdis, you will be able to see that that is it is no laughing matter. Even in the manga we have not been able to see to what extent that Leon's power spans. Only in the most recent chapter of That Time I Got Reincarnate as a Slime we got to see a little bit of backstory to Leon's character. I won't spoil much about it though. Maybe I'll make a post about it later on. But for right now all we know about him is that he is a strong Demon Lord.

So all in all, this weeks episode was pretty tame but it was mainly used as a "calm before the storm" type of episode and I'm very excited to see the Charybdis fight animated. It should be a very interesting fight to come.

BOFURI vs Infinite Dendrogram: Battle of the VRMMO for Winter 2020           In a market dominated by the likes of Sword Art Online (SAO), the shows that revolved around the concept of VRMMO's has lacked in originality and quality. Whenever shows like these come out, it becomes natural for people to compare it to  SAO whether that be for better or worse. For this I would like to talk about a couple of shows that have come out this season, discuss the differences between these them and why I think that one works while the other is just following the natural order of the genre. Both worlds seem to take influence from what SAO had originally built upon. The fantasy style setting with the ability to wander a living, breathing virtual world. However, the difference between BOFURI and Infinite Dendrogram become apparent when everything else is taken into consideration.                 We are a quarter of the way through this season for these two shows but I will say that I
