Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken 3rd Season

Well, look. I know all these episodes of constant talking can be annoying for many people. But looking at the light novel is enough to see why, of course, that's because the anime is an adaptation of the light novel. The story and the dialogue are extremely massive and some things that aren't so important already aren't on the series or manga. If they were to cut more of it, the original story would have been lost, an issue that we see in many series, and as we know many of those cases didn't have a nice ending. Well that covers the adaption and generally ... is pretty good and all the important stuff is there. Now let's talk about the series in general, no worries there won't be any spoilers. So Slime is one of the series that likes to explain a lot..... well too much. It wants to show every little detail and there's a lot of build-up before any major event, as we saw in the second part of the second season, before the fight we had 6 episodes of set-up. Many times this waiting was worth it, some times it was a bit too much like this arc and I agree as a huge fan of the series, but that is not nearly enough to make it worse because the vibe remains the same, which a lot of people liked like myself. But a lot of people will say that they don't want so much detail and need some more action or anything else and that............ I 100% understand it, not all types of stories are for anyone and that's common sense. The thing is that if someone doesn't like what it is then that does not mean that the series in general is bad, it just didn't apply to the interests of the specific person, and that's perfectly fine, someone just didn't like a story it's not that big of a deal. But there should be some respect, cause slime in its genre is one of the best someone could find. To people who like over-analytical stories in which even the smallest detail is pointed out, even if there wasn't a reason for it, then they sure gonna love it. On the other hand, for people who want more stuff happening to the story constantly, there is a high possibility that they won't be satisfied but personal preferences shouldn't judge the story.

That's all I wanted to say about the first episodes that seemed a little off. For the anime in general like I said before the adaptation is done well, the art style is beautiful as always, and the music like the previous seasons hits pretty hard. The series like always targets a specific audience, the plot isn't especially deep but it's analyzed to the maximum and combines fun, action, cool moments, and serious ones when it's needed. Lastly. all this political talk can annoy many, which is reasonable but not many series dive into political matters so it's a nice addition for those who are interested in things like this, and on top of that it's executed pretty well.

Because that took a lot, to sum up, if you want to watch a very funny show on a magic world with an OP slime building its kingdom, a quite interesting and huge power system with lots and lots of talking including politics then this is for you! Go for it

Obviously only the first 6 episodes are out at the time of this review, but already I am disappointed with this season. I loved the first two seasons and although there were points where it was a bit slow, this season takes the cake. I don't mind dialogue, setting up the scenes, lores, motivations, etc, but the first six episodes have been nothing but meetings and introducing loads of new characters to yap at those meetings. Nothing really to make you care for those characters motivations or backgrounds. And even when it comes to the characters we love barely anything has advanced with the plot. ... I am not sure who was in charge of the pacing of this season - maybe no one was - but 6 episodes of meeting after meeting will have even the most loyal fans (me) eyes glazing over in boredom. I don't necessarily mean it has to be all action, but it feels like no time has passed. None of the plot has progressed at all.

I may end up changing this review by the end of this season but I wanted to vent my two cents about this start and how boring and disappointing its been.

To all the younger viewers complaining about how boring the start of this new season has been, let this serve as a warning for your future: working for companies with a poor "meeting culture" will suck the life out of you.

Some managers just love a meeting, and will schedule one for pretty much anything. Partly it's a way to make them feel important, but mainly it's a way to fill lots of time and make it seem like they're busy people. The fact that these meetings actually waste everybody else's time seems to escape their notice. I can only assume the decision-makers behind this season ... of Slime also love a meeting, and have failed to notice that they're wasting all of our time with the most boring content imaginable.

The worst kind of meetings are the ones that you don't need to be in, or at most only need to be present for a couple minutes of. Vast swathes of your time is wasted listening to people give updates on things that have no relevance to yourself. You find yourself staring off into the void as managers give instructions to people who you barely know, for projects that you have no part to play in. One has to wonder why anybody would want to replicate that feeling in anime form, but here we are.

If you have genuinely enjoyed the start to this season of slime, I can only assume you are either one of those meeting-loving managers, or aspire to be one someday. On the one hand, I'm happy that there is now anime content that specifically caters to your desires. But on the other hand, please know that shorter, more focused meetings are better for overall productivity and worker satisfaction, and that this season of Slime has so far been about as exciting as one of your Powerpoint presentations, which FYI everybody hates.

In summary: SHOULD HAVE BEEN AN EMAIL
