That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: Tensei shitara Slime datta Ken

I was also disappointed I couldn't really see the difference between Orcs and High Orcs.

I also couldn't tell of Lizard chief evolved into anything. He seemed the same.

I also think the quality of the monster being named matters. If you are a stronger race, the more energy you consume from your would be master.

Agreed, but there's no way Orcs are lower on the scale than Goblins.

Regarding the mana needed to name many monsters, I'm pretty sure Rimuru gets mana from monsters he already named before. And as they evolve he gets even more.

I mean, that's cool if that's the case. But it's not something they've established.

Also means, like, if you're a powerful monster, why WOULDN'T you go around naming as many monsters as possible. Yeah, it takes mana from you in the short-term, but it gives you a surplus of mana over time.

Oh no! My fantasy anime is so unrealistic!

If something like this seriously breaks suspension of disbelief for you, you might be better off giving up on all fiction.

Seems to be bothering a few people in this thread, and is the first thing in this series to really do so. So I'd say this particular thing is dumber and less believable than previous things.

Fantasy being unrealistic is one thing, as long as you adhere to whatever made-up fantasy rules you put in place. This directly contradicts things that were previously established in the series.

If you can't even follow your own made-up rules, that's bad writing.

It is bad writing. It's a bad magic system as well. Definitely a continuity blunder.

But ultimately, it is a math error. No worse or better than the production team screwing up and forgetting to draw someone's arm, or having two left hands.

My point is, if you're gonna bitch about the math, get it right. And if you're going to say something is unrealistic, at least cite the attempt the series made correctly.

The series has a soft magic system. They can make up all sorts of shit. It falls down when they try to treat it like a hard magic system.

"lol they done fucked up," is probably sufficient reaction.
