That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

It took me 2 years to finally watch this series because, frankly, the title and premise seemed beyond stupid but I am really glad I gave this a chance.

This show made me smile all the way through. It is tightly paced, never a dull moment, full of likeable characters, really great battle scenes and a little slime that manages to make friends with almost everyone while also beeing an (accidental) badass.

I want to keep this as spoiler-free as possible so if you have a chance at viewing this give it a shot for an episode or two, at least until the slime is out of the cave, and you know exactly what you are in for. I even watched and enjoyed the last episode, basically a recap of the first season from a uniquely hilarious character and was fully entertained even though I usually detest clip shows. This show is just a joy to watch.

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.

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.

It just knows how to make an Anime funny and really really Badass episode after episode. Really enjoying it.
