That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

It includes the necessary tropes you'd expect for it to fulfill its purpose - only a few annyoing clichés are included.

It's a feel-good anime with a bit o' tension and plenty of breathing room in between those moments.

The animation is par for the course and nothing really stands out - be it egregious or good.

The characters is where the real meat's at, because they're organic and believable. Their motives and and actions have sound reasoning behind them - don't expect the next Death Note from this though.

The music's alright but at the same time not really memorable.

The only qualms I have with this are the occasional spoonfeedery and the noticable quality drop towards the end as they rush past arks to quickly tidy up the story (presumably to set up the next season in the last episode with a cliffhanger).

Not so much as a review, but more like a little rant about season 3

When I was watching season 1-2 I would binge 8-10 episodes a day, really enjoyed the experience and would give this anime a rating of 8.2, had most of the things you want in a lighthearted anime nailed down, with the occasional action to keep up the balance.

As for season 3, the story has massively slowed down and it has become a slice of life filled with almost completely filler content.

Im watching 1 episode per week as the dub is coming out and i feel like nothing has changed for the past 3 months, its starting to disappoint me so much that i moved my rating down to 7, slowly creeping down to 6.

If you hate slow burners, I wouldn't really recommend this anime anymore and some of the characters are starting to annoy me, even for an anime that is definitely not serious at its core, it has become too cheerful, non-serious to a point that it has become boring.

You start an episode and you can already predict that not much is going to happen, and even if something does happen, it will be trivial or it will work out in a surpassingly uninteresting way.

It has become so dull to watch that I'm even loosing my interest in the story as a whole, which usually doesn't happen to me as I want to get to the end of a story no matter what.

This anime really spectacular and I truly hope they continue it since its just this perfect balance of comedy, adventure, action, its light hearted, no annoying troupes, its just damn its just so damn good. I early await more and can't wait to own the full series and pick up some merch of this series.

Satoru Mikami, a 37 year old office worker's, life is cut short when he is stabbed in the street... he is then reincarnated in a fantasy world. Here he is a slime, the lowest creature alive, however he has the ability to learn the skill of any creature he devours. He befriends the powerful dragon Veldora, who has been magically sealed away and gives him the name Rimuru Tempest. When Rimuru leaves the cave he meets various beings who he gradually befriends. As the series progresses his status quickly rises, as does that of the creatures he befriends.

There are numerous anime series that feature ordinary people who for one reason or another find themselves in fantasy worlds; most are fairly interchangeable but a few have that something different that makes them stand out... this is one of the latter. The story starts well and Rimuru is a fine central character; he may be very powerful, after gaining many new skills, but he is keen to make friends and forge alliances rather than the usual more confrontational stories. That doesn't mean there is no excitement though; many enemies need to see just how strong he is before they become friends. The series also provides some good laughs and has a general feel-good quality. The animation is impressive as are the character designs. Overall a really fun anime that I'd definitely recommend to fans of the genre; I'm looking forward to season two which is due to air in 2020.

We're up to 6 episodes right now and I can say this anime is consistently beautiful and lively show. Something you don't see from a lot of animes with great pacing to boot. It is rare to even find an anime that made me want go out of my way to read the manga. Also finding there is a Light Novel to read and you can see from the manga it heavily improves apon the source showing how anime should improve the source.

Ok let's get on to the main character in short are very expressive and a joy to watch. Rimuru's voice fits perfectly and for a slime it's(slimes are genderless) expressions are pretty wide for a slime. We even see how Rimuru effects the world and how he interacts with others. Also just to note It's an overpowered protagonist but isn't the most powerful in the land yet.

The comedy elements work very well when melded with Slime's story and characters but remember comedy is subjective so not everyone will interpret it the same. From my experience it had me laughing out loud at certain adult jokes and character facial expressions. Other characters definitely have their momments and the interaction between characters are just great.

This may be a light heart comedy at timed but it can get dark. From some isekai I've seen it can be hard to go from light to dark moments but slime pulls it off without out it hinder the anime it's self anymore and I would get into spoilers.

In conclusion, That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime is a joy to watch. The animation and voice acting improves apon the source material. The characters interact well and in themselves interesting. It can get dark at times and does it well. I also hope you all will found this review helpful and enjoy the anime as much as I have.
