Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken 3rd Season

The first four episodes are just stuck behind that damn table. For episode 5, the table is only going to be changed; this is what weakens the narrative of the story. A good anime should maintain quality from start to finish, making each episode memorable. This season, however, the anime is a disaster. Maybe it will improve from episode 8 onwards. I don't recommend watching it now unless you have nothing else to watch, especially since only episode 4 has aired.
From what I've watched so far, it feels more like listening to a podcast or reading a newspaper, without any significant events. You could easily ... start from episode 5 without missing much of the story. It's quite hilarious when Rimuru orders each character with the same command, and this goes on for a whole minute. It could be more enjoyable if this dialogue were interspersed with flashbacks or different facial expressions to make the conversation more bearable.

I feel like the people working on this thought: "Hmmm, how can we make this the most boring show this Spring season when we have to compete with Spice and Wolf?, we don't know but will try our best"

The art, the animation and voice acting are all fine and good, but the storytelling is just boring, 3 episodes in and there is nothing to follow, no setups, no conflict and no action. it's just jumping from one scene to another showing what characters are doing.

I feel like I'm invested and can't drop it entirely, but will wait for it to be completed and watch is ... at x2 speed to just get it overwith.

if you're not invested in the series, I don't recommend it.

I first want to mention that a lot of anime in general is made to sell, but not made to be remembered very fondly, critically, or seen to break what can be accomplished in the genre. Basically just made to cheat people out of money. Tensura is exactly on of these series.

The rotten tomatoes score for this movie shows you how the anime community can no longer critically analyze medium but blindly consume. Tensura has one of the worst rotten tomatoes critics score I have ever seen and an extremely poor performing box office despite shown in every theatre. FYI, movie critics are usually nicer ... on anime. Yet we are supposed to treat this series as the equivalent of a citizen kane. Anyone saying this is some sort of masterpiece really needs to review high school literature classes.

Tensura has become the junk food of anime. It looks tastes good at the beginning, but gets bad when you leave it out. It is easy to produce, and full of just bad stuff. It makes a lot of money, but is bad for you.

Isekai has become nothing but a unique hook to keep you in the beginning. Than suck the viewer in with abysmal writing as the show gets worse and worse. Similiar to the CW.



This series has the all the ingredient of a poorly structured show. Predictable plot, bad pacing, deus ex machine moments, pointless talk, no plot build up, no emotional moments.

Rimuru is one of the worst written anime characters in existence. He literally serves as nothing but a sex doll for big breasted female milfs or scantily clad lolis. He lost all substance in season 1. But he looks like a girl that is okay. He faces no hardship. He oneshots all of his opponents. Just an extremely overpowered. All the characters treat this guy as he is jesus.

Milim and Shuna are appalling one dimensional characters with next to no substance and history. Aside from fighting.

The villains are are appalling one dimensional. They come, get one shotted, you forget about them. They don't have substance or backstory that connects with the others. This pretty much happens throughout the light novels.

This series recklessly introduces a dozen or so characters, gets rid a chunk of them; lazy writing at its finest.

The episodes are extremely dragged out with a lot of yapping leading to nothing and no major part. Some episodes only involve characters talking. But the dialogue isn't witty, thought out, meaningful. So it is just people yapping; it is just filler. There may be a fight but it lasts pretty short throughout a season and has people yapping for the rest of it. These episodes make the cw shows feel like shakespeare. You can pretty much watch this show in the background while you play around on your phone.

The humor is extremely forced. It isn't good verbal humor nor situational humor. It is not even edgy humor. They just act silly for the sake of trying to make you laugh which never works.

The plot pretty much turns into nothing more than a hack and slash battle rpg.

I have saved you your hard earned time from trying to invest yourself in the series. It is a series that pretty much continues to get worse and worse as time passes. Might as well go play final fantasy if you want to immerse yourself in the fantasy experience.

The protagonists of this season are tables, with chairs as the side characters, and cups of tea as plot twists.

This show is a big giant meeting, everyone explains things over and over again, and episodes end with hooks to fool you into thinking that something will happen in the next one.

The episodes titles so far can give you a good idea:
1 Demons and STRATEGIES
2 The Saint's INTENTIONS
3 PEACEFUL DAYS
4 Each Respective Roles
5 Two Sides MEETING
...
I know, some action will probably happen towards mid season, but if it is like S2, then it is not worth watching overall.

The storytelling of the show is what can make it good or not and these talks aren't compelling enough for our viewing, there was not any revelation or some type of tension during all these talks that makes the story appealing, nothing new makes the story interesting. The biggest issue is that this church doesn't seem much of a threat for Tempest but we got introduced to them like they're gonna be important for the rest of the season, this is really underwhelming to have such forgettable characters taking so much place in the story. Another point is that this show has already so many ... characters that you can't care for all of them, putting so much more of them makes them forgettable. I really hope that the stakes can be raised in the next episodes, maybe Rimuru and Hinata relation after the fight could improve the story, Diablo's doing something fishy too, these are the only interesting points of this season for the moment.

This show is just turning into a completely generic Isekai at this point, I'm just wondering what could they do to make the story compelling because I just do not care about these characters, everything seems too easy for Rimuru and the village, seriously who really think that the church is a problem for him and Tempest? He is OP af now and he has Milim, Diablo, Veldra, etc... with him, no way that these church vampires could ever have a chance if they respect the power levels established in the show

I love politics in anime btw but these politics are just not that interesting, this world is a classic generic isekai world with no particularities that makes it unique. These 5 episodes have just been poorly thought and written, bad storytelling is not smart writing if the build up is terrible.

What is this season? What is editor of this anime want the viewer know? About politics? New characters that is not important at all?

I love politics in anime, like genjitsu shugi yuusha, overlord has some points too, etc. But this, omg just trash, not interesting. They only meetings and meetings. I don’t know how to describe my feeling over this anime but, don’t waste all episodes just for meetings. You can do better like make it just to the point, or make it like overlord (last eps of s4 was cool).

I just start the eps and skip it to end 🤦
