This episode was the first time we immediately went into the battle scenes. These were animated greatly with amazing shots that happened in particular when the boss wolf first charged in. While the battle was short, it provided a great base for the viewers to see how strong Rimuru is currently. The pacing is still progressing well, as there is a clear indicator of where the story will go. The best part of this episode, besides the battle, would be the interactions Rimurur has with his newly acquired friends, which I hope get expanded on more.
