Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken 3rd Season

Rimuru Tempest is victorious following his climactic showdown with Demon Lord Clayman. With Diablo's aid, the war with the Falmuth Kingdom ends decisively in Rimuru's favor. Fueled by increased migration and the integration of Jura Forest, the nation of Tempest undergoes rapid growth.

Rimuru's victory shifts the balance of power, giving rise to a renewed period of peace—but whether that peace will last is another matter. Yuuki Kagurazaka and Kazalim are conspiring with the Harlequin Alliance to bring about Rimuru's downfall. Furthermore, the Western Holy Church continues its intolerant crusade against Rimuru and his non-human subordinates. Both allies and enemies engage in a battle of wits, carefully advancing their agendas without shattering the delicate status quo. But once the first domino inevitably falls, the race to supremacy begins.

When it comes to anime, I truly think "That time I got reincarnated as a slime" truly has a special place among shows that changed the genre of isekai. I truly believe that the idea of this show was amazing from the very beginning, but it was also what killed it for a lot of anime fans.

To understand the 3rd season of a show we have to look at the first two: Season 1 came out at what felt like the perfect time for a new idea in the isekai genre. A more slow-paced and realistic view into what a person might do if they ... were transported into another world. Manipulate the people who cant read or write into creating you a whole ass city to run, and then just play politics. Its something we all imagined we could do if actually transported to another world, and this show puts that idea into practice perfectly, and people loved it. Already you might have seen some problems with the reviews season 3 gets. "Where is the action, the cool fights?!". I think you have to be very ignorant of this show and what the first season did to act like this is your run-of-the-mill op MC action isekai. The show has always been about trying to peacefully lead a country, only acting in violence when absolutely needed. I believe that both season 2 of the show, which focused a lot on a very actioned-packed arc of the series, and the power-scaling side of the internet who kept repeating that Rimuru is one of the strongest characters in fiction, brought in a lot of people who just wanted to see fights and action when the show has never been about that. When it comes to story, season 3 of "That time I got reincarnated as a slime" is very similar to season 1.

Moving on to the music and animation. The animation is pretty decent, something we have come to expect from this show and as always the sound design is amazing. The opening and ending are kinda forgettable and the recycling of some songs is very obvious (that damn song that plays every time they show off the city". I believe that this show carries its weight and does great here once again, with some small hiccups.

When it comes to how fun the show is the very slow story and time-consuming scenes still hurt the show somewhat. I have to appreciate the determination to keep this scenes in the show, as to keep its identity, but Jesus, full episodes of just talking about the economic hardships of hosting a festival get boring pretty easily. I can see why a lot of people who loved season 2 didn't really care for this one. It is pretty slow and sometimes even boring. I still found it overall enjoyable because of its originality and interesting commentary.

That's why my final rating for this show is an 8/10.

I recommend you give this show a shot and I personally cant wait for season 4.

Mixed Feelings

This season had classic Slime action, silliness, drama, politics, etc., but was unfortunately also chock full of filler or at least filler-adjacent scenes. It's still good, but "mixed" implies that some viewers will not enjoy this, and I genuinely believe that. I personally had to watch some episodes at 2x speed in order to tolerate all the forced feel-good moments and stretched out dialogues.

The first 12 episodes seemed to have much more thought put into them. The plot seemed focused, the pacing was perfect, and any serious moment had tiny little silent gags carefully inserted in the background, like the production team was having ... a good time making it. In other words, the classic Tensura experience.

The latter 12 episodes were completely different. The pacing seemed almost glacial and many scenes felt forced. 2-minute scenes that took 5 minutes, accompanied by inspirational music cues and random smiles from characters that are barely involved in the scene (and not in an ironic way), it was honestly exhausting at times. Granted, part of the charm of Slime is the circle-jerky nature of it, especially earlier on. But it wasn't as charming this time around. Perhaps the power creep is getting to it and things just don't feel as grand anymore given all that's happened. Or perhaps those scenes were just written worse this time around, or both. Regardless, it was rather disappointing.

I can only hope that poor time management made them rush the last 12 episodes and that's why the quality dropped, otherwise I'm not setting expectations too high for season 4.

8.5/10 for the first 12 episodes, 5.5/10 for the last 12 episodes. Overall, 7/10.

Just not a good show anymore. I loved season 1. I liked season 2 but it had episodes I found boring. Season 3 is basically all the boring parts of season 2 but throughout the entire season. Very little action and a lot of standing around talking.

I don't care enough about the nations to watch it with interest. Most characters are shallow with their personality just being to suck up to Rimuru so they aren't worth sticking around for.

If I wasn't watching this as it was airing one episode a week I would have dropped it. I put the show on in the background whilst ... doing something else for most episodes.

I hope the show can become entertaining again for the next season. For the anime adaptation they may have been better off skipping meetings/summarising them briefly so the show can progress to better arcs more quickly.
