That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

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.

One of the best anime I have ever watched! Theres adventure, fighting, excitement,magical,beautiful girls..lots of things to see..

Please add more episodes..

Very high level anime like HunterXHunter and Full metal alchemist!

Thank you very much for this very beautiful anime!

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.

Up to episode 12 and already the best show I've seen since my hero academia came out. Love it
