Okay, let's talk about By the Grace of the Gods, specifically Season 1, Episode 13. The finale! Time to spill some potentially lukewarm tea.
Ryoma's Grand Exit: Did He Really Need to Leave?
Ryoma decides to head out on his own. A noble quest for self-discovery, right? Or... maybe a plot device to justify Season 2? I'm just saying.
The guy is like, eight years old. Eight! And he's off to explore the world, seemingly unsupervised. Brave or slightly insane?
Don't get me wrong, I admire his independence. But I can't help but wonder if a slightly older, less lonely Ryoma would've been more interesting.
The Slimes, Always the Stars
The slimes, though! Always a highlight. Honestly, are we all secretly wishing we could have a team of adorable, multi-talented slimes to help us with chores? I know I am.
They clean, they fight, they even help with research! What can't a slime do? Maybe they're the real heroes of the show.
Imagine your own personal slime army. Vacuuming, doing the dishes, folding laundry... Pure bliss.
The Jamil Family: Sweet, But Slightly Bland?
The Jamil family are undeniably good people. Kind, supportive, and always there for Ryoma. But... are they a little *too* perfect?
Sometimes I crave a little drama! A bit of family conflict, maybe a secret or two. Just something to spice things up.
Their unwavering support is heartwarming. However, a touch of imperfection can add depth to any character. Right?
My Unpopular Opinion: The Slow Pace Is...Relaxing?
Okay, here it is. My potentially controversial opinion: I actually liked the slow pace of the show. Yes, I said it!
In a world of hyper-action and non-stop plot twists, By the Grace of the Gods was a breath of fresh air. It was just... chill.
Sometimes, you just want a show where a kid runs a laundry service with slimes. No world-ending threats, no complicated politics. Just simple, wholesome fun.
The Episode's Emotional Core
Despite my minor gripes, the episode did pack an emotional punch. Ryoma saying goodbye to his friends? Definitely tugged at the heartstrings.
You could see the genuine bond he had formed with them. Proof that even a laundry service can create meaningful connections.
The animation during the farewell scene was beautiful. You could really feel Ryoma's bittersweet emotions as he prepared for his journey.
What's Next? Season 2 Speculation!
So, with Ryoma hitting the road, what can we expect from Season 2? More slimes? More laundry adventures? Hopefully, a few more character quirks.
Will he finally encounter a real challenge? Will he discover new slime abilities? The possibilities are endless!
I'm personally hoping for a slime-themed cooking competition. Or maybe a slime fashion show. Just throwing it out there.
Final Thoughts: A Comforting Conclusion
Overall, Episode 13 was a satisfying conclusion to a surprisingly comforting season. It wasn't perfect, but it was enjoyable.
Ryoma's departure, while a little abrupt, sets the stage for future adventures. And who knows what he'll encounter on his journey?
So, while I might have a few "unpopular" opinions about the show, I'm still looking forward to seeing what Season 2 has in store. More slimes, please!
