That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime
kataneer said: All top reviews are negative because Slime is another isekai trash with overpowered protagonist, same as SAO or Overlord. Nothing more. It have high rating only because his target audience don't care about things like character development or worldbuilding, and gives this show 10/10 only because "wow, slime loli! demon pink-haired loli! ANIME OF THE YEAR 10/10 SEASON TWO WHEN". I'm not an elitist who gives 1/10 to everything, but when I watch anime, I want from it more than just cute characters and colorful animation. Good series with 8.xx rating like Made in Abyss, A Place Further Than The Universe or Hinamatsuri also popular and also high rated, but nobody hates them. Strange, isn't it? I don't see Slime in your list. It's probably a misread, I'll check my eyesight. It couldn't be that you are trashtalking a show you haven't watched a single episode of and lecturing the fans on what its appeal is. |
AstralBread said: I mean, yea Bloe is silly af for essentually making the same “FUCKING ELITIST ATTENTION WHORES AND THEIR NEGATIVE REVIEWS GETTING TRACTION REEEEEE” post for the 5th time in a row, but it’s already confirmed thet there’s suspect activity going on where the reveiws seem to have their upvotes artificially inflated (there’s no way Krunchyman can go from 7 to 70 upvotes in the span of an hour, 6 hours after his and everyone else’s review was posted, or that within that same hour period, the top reiew with 58 can be topped with a review thst went from 40-something to 89). It was already confirmed by mods that this kind of suspect activity they can at leadt identify but not deal with happened with Goblin Slayer, where after the mostly negerive top 4 was established for over 12 hours, several positive reviews recieved hundreds of upvotes overnight to kick them out of the top 4. Same happened with Steins;Gate 0 (though the mods were able to deal with that one) before the reviews got their bots shut down before climbing bsck up anyway to kick the one 3/10 regiew out of the top 4. Same happened with Re:Zero where after nearly a year, tons and tons of positive reviews gained 1-2K upvotes overnight. There’s a precedent for this ans noe it’s become harder to counteract.I don't even know if it's funny or sad how people are so unable to deal with reality that they invent conspiracy theories about 4chan raids/upvoring bots/trolls trying to be popular. It's actually very simple: people write negative reviews because they think the show is bad. Other people upvote those reviews because they think the same. If all top-voted reviews are ovewhelmingly negative - that's because everyone who reads and upvotes reviews (i.e. can read and cares about critically analyzing entertainment) thinks it is shit. Meanwhile, the show's score and popularity are entirely different matter. Popularity is based on whatever is trendy now - every season there are like 5 shows with hundreds of thousands more members than everything else. Current trend is isekai, so one of those 5 shows would be isekai, this season it is Slime. You can bet these popular shows would have 8+ score, because the majority of their audience are kids/newcomers who've seen three titles in their life and rated them all 10/10. Score and view numbers are helpful to them in finding what they should watch. Meanwhile, reviews concern an enterily different segment of the audience - the one that cares about critical merits. Both systems are useful for different people. Bloe, you're mentally ill, seek some professional help. I'm not saying that to be antagonistic/insulting, I literally mean it. This is what, the 10th time you post the same exact thread over half-year period? Your inability to cope with the concept of "opinions that don't match mine exist" is pathological. |

It couldn't be that you are trashtalking a show you haven't watched a single episode of and lecturing the fans on what its appeal is. I'm adding only completed and dropped series in my list. I watched 6 episodes of Slime and read 30 or something chapters of manga before the airing of anime adaptation. For me, it's enough to judge this series. Maybe I will watch some more episodes, but I don't think that this anime become better, because even fans of this show says that second part is worse than first. By episode 6 Rimuru's human form wasn't even revealed in the series and Milim still took like ten episodes to make her entry. For me, it's enough to know you are talking out of your ass, particularly when you try to infer why people are drawn to the show. |
MABfan11 said: papsoshea said: They are not trolls lol They have their opinions and a lot of people who read the reviews obviously hold similar views. The show itself has a really good score (though, this is another thing that you really shouldn't take too seriously). criticism doesn't really help if the quality of criticism is bad, due to MAL being MAL, i have a pretty good feeling that a significant portion of the reviews are of bad quality How can you distinguish bad quality from good quality in the first place? |

| I stopped caring a long time ago, it seems like the people that don't like a show are more vocal about it and vote for the review a lot more than people who like a show vote for a popular show. The same thing happens on sites such as Metacritic so it's not something new. Just enjoy the show, the score is 8,37 as I'm writing this so obviously most people like it. Don't care about the vocal minority |

kataneer said: Rimuru is kinda overpowered even in slime form. He have many abilities, constantly recieve new and so one. Yeah, you catсhed me, I didn't saw him in human form, only read about it in other reviews, but what does that change? Rimuru stop being an OP character? There is no denial that Rimuru is OP, as well as there is no denial that there are even stronger people in the series. One of them being Milim. Now, there's a bunch of issues I have with you calling out Rimuru's human form as some sort of shallow appeal when: 1. It's never once sexualized. 2. It's androgynous, not "a loli". 3. It is surrounded by a circumstance of actual and pivotal character development you neglect in your statements because of course how can this show have character development. If we are talking here about agreements, why not mention that even haters agree that Shizue's arc is the peak of the season. kataneer said: Milim appears in chapter 30 of manga adaptation, and, to be honest, she is a reason why I stop reading it. Don't like demon fanservice lolies, sorry. Milim doesn't even have that much of a presence in the show from the moment she appears. Yes, she is fanservicey. But she becomes another sidekick of Rimuru. In this season at least. kataneer said: For your opinion, I need to watch all 25 episodes and read all manga/ln chapters to judge this show or what? I cad make conclusion of this series after 30 chapters of manga adaptation and 1/4 of all anime episodes. You can judge based on 6 episodes and 30 chapters all you want but next time you try to act all demeaning against people who like the show and lecture them on its appeal, make sure you know your shit. Or just don't do it because the least this discussion needs is strawmen. To claim that this show has no character development and/or that people can't like its aspect of character development when it literally is the story of the MC going into a new world and finding a purpose he gradually achieves through growth and interaction with its different factions, to say that people watch it for the cute characters, the fanservice and the colors when it has a lot of hinted background conflicts for next seasons, when it has depicted arcs about war and conspiracies, etc. Want me to go on? Then again the issue is you coming here to tell people why they rate a show high, while not displaying any good knowledge of the show, its content and its development. If you don't find the character development appealing, even at the stage you are, then cool! Then you can talk about how the only good or outstanding aspect of the show are the designs or the fanservice. But you are not doing that. By the way, I'm kinda sorta confused by the first part of this post. You know that Rimuru's human form is revealed much earlier than Milim, right? Didn't sound like that. |

| Admittedly, the anime does kind of suck. The entire story is happy go lucky. Side characters are painfully boring and one dimensional. (Yes, I know the story turns 180 after this season, but for anyone who doesn't follow the manga/LN. This is really repetitive and boring.) |

Nurguburu said: It’s pretty easy as a reviewer myself.MABfan11 said: criticism doesn't really help if the quality of criticism is bad, due to MAL being MAL, i have a pretty good feeling that a significant portion of the reviews are of bad quality How can you distinguish bad quality from good quality in the first place? 1. Are the criticisms just vague generalitites the reviewer spouts while expecting you to take their word for it? 2. Are the criticisms factually incorrect? 3. Do the criticisms miss the point or resort to common misconceptions? 4. Is the actual writing bad, like, bad presentetion, bad grammar, confusing sentences, etc. (this is the one I need to work on the most). If the answer to at least one of them is yes, then chances are the reiew is of poor quality. Some of the reviews in the top 4 fall into these criteria, like that ShinyHex review. |

| Gotta love how they're all range with their scores turning them into one magnificent discount from 4 too 1. |
| ...and here I am, didn't know that MAL review is that important. I personally didn't care what everyone wrote on review section, (and sometime even don't care with low score). I personally still put Tensura on my best isekai anime ever, because that's what I found after finished it. If everyone thinks this is bad, I don't care. |
| negative reviews be damned, i'm just in awe that the scores for the reviews follow a descending order of numbers with 4 3 2 1 that's beautiful |
 |
| I knew someone would make a post about those reviews, for real who cares? Probably 1% of MAL read review and 0.01% of MAL even take into account a review before watching an anime, just ignore and enjoy what you enjoy. |

And for OP, trust me for second season the top reviewers will be a positive one :) |

| I was going to give a 8 to this show because it fits most of the shows I have given it a 8, but after reading the "reviews" I will give it a near perfect score. I find people forcing themselves to watch a -24- episodes anime just to give it an bad review pretty petty and pathetic. |

| Or maybe people finally came to the realization that this show is a snoozefest at least since when slime turned into a loli. |

Nostalgik said: Plenty series run for 2 cours with 20-23 episodes. Episode 23 made it VERY clear it was the finale. Episode 24 was at least interesting and 25 was a recap. Whats the problem here? People wouldnt complain nearly as much if the last 2 episodes were different MAL entries I don't have a problem with a show that span several seasons but that doesn't means it's an excuse to deliver poorly paced story boarding just because there's always more time later. That's stupid and should not be the case, multiple seasons or not, for ANY show. Back to this hot mess so even if it finishes on episode 23, 24, or 24.5 there's no way it ends up looking good. It either ends on a recap, ends on a flashback, or ends abruptly; all of which screams incompetence. I mean it's not even trying to attempt a back to back viewing. This is the ending you're gonna have to live with for almost half a year until to OVA and god knows how long until S2. This is just poor work no matter how you dice it up and you should never praise poor work. jal90 said: xD I mean, to call making episode 23 a clear end to the season and then bringing a side story and a recap a "horrible habit in the industry" is kind of hilarious, because at most I just wouldn't care about that last episode. Are you against the very existence of recaps? Then okay, but to call it a horrible habit and particularly for just one episode out of 25 is quite overdramatic. The fact the last two episodes of a regular airing deviate from the flow of the main story? As said, episode 23 made it clear that it was a finale. And there's a second season coming next year. Seriously, if you want to be dramatic you can all you want, but it's kind of stupid that you are calling people out for not caring about petty stuff. I see, so in your words adhering to standards is apparently petty and people are over dramatic for rightly calling out bullshit. Am I also correct in assuming that you blindly shovel whatever junk is nearby into your mouth without chewing or digesting? I'm only saying because that's basically how you view any form of entertainment; as a mindless consumer. Please stick with bickering over who's the best waifu or who's best shipping. That's about your speed. Leave the thinking to people who use their minds instead of letting them rot. |
| It was just so underwhelming. A lot of people had great expectations especially after the first episodes, but then it became so disappointing. Literally, nothing was happening in like 13 episodes. No character development, the story didn't get anywhere, and the entire Carb-something boss fight was so dull. I understand all of the negative reviews. I gave it a 6/10 out of generosity since I enjoyed the first half. |
| Goblin Slayer is better than Slime, so it's working as intended. |

| Dropped this show at episode 3, since I thought it was trash. But the reviews are clearly stupid, and their criticisms are absurd. And those are troll reviews. Whether you want to be like "oh they're someone's opinions, respect them", that's up to you. Those are not actual criticisms. And Rimuru isn't a loli. So their concept about such terms itself is completely wrong. |
 |
| I know this is degenerate but lol if y'all are so sick of the reviews in the top 4, just read mine: https://myanimelist.net/reviews.php?id=304275 Also lol damn, a lot of y'all are backhanded assholes |

Not to mention he's like 2 years old isn't he ?😂 |

| While this show had it's flaws you have to agree that it was better than some of the other isekais. Anyways, I'm isekai trash, so of course I loved the show. The fact that people sit through these shows to give them 1 - 3/4s makes them masochists. Surely they could use that time to watch something better. |

Then again, among your very aggressive words you have still not presented an actual response to what I said, so in order for me to continue this conversation, you will need to calm down and come back when you are able to speak like a person. Maybe then you will be able to beat me with your so-called truth. Till then, I'm not moving a little from my position, no matter how it makes you feel. |
| Maybe people just realized that there's nothing special about this show or they're just salty about the ending xD |

| The reviews on MAL haven't been useful for a few years now. Just check the stats and don't look at the review section |

Bloe said: Yeah people did this with the godly Pingu in the city because it surpassed trash tier fullmetal.It's the fate of every popular+high rated shows on MAL. 1-4 That's the scale to use in case you are thinking of making a review. Something like goblin slayer just for having less than 8 score will get great and positive reviews. Bravo. There was a time when I used to trust reviews instead of the score but now reviews are on the basis of popularity. Anyway, here's a guide to become a popular reviewer - https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1758359&show=0 |

nina444 said: Rimuru is still considered as shotas or lolis by this height . Not to mention he's like 2 years old isn't he ?😂 Rimuru, from what I know, is a slime. He doesn't have a gender since he possesses no reproductive organs. He's asexual. So the term loli's out of the option and so is the term shota. These terms have a definition. You can't just use them because you feel a particular character is a shota or a loli. Now leaving that aside, you tell me how having a shota or a loli as the main character is a bad thing? |
|
| i get where you come from but this anime was really boring for me :D i gave it 6 tho lol :D for one time watch it was fine :) |
 |
| Its a fantasy light novel adaptation. I know half the plot without watching it. |
| I mean I get that the show was pretty friggin average, but it wasn't anywhere near a score of 3 2 or 1 out of 10. Yes, MC-Kun suffers from the "overpowered anime protag cliché, a lot of the monster designs change from somewhat original to generic anime cutie(demon kings apart from the fairy and Geld (the one that died) and the goddamn lizarwoman are outrageous examples of this), the world is generic fantasy stuff, etc, etc. My point is, it's average and generic BUT not outright bad. It still presents a somewhat entertaining twist on the isekai formula where the MC basically plays Civilization IRL until he starts dealing with other shit and goes from funny otaku building his own country to generic honorable hero. This show is still is a 5 for me but it's not Berserk 2019 or Dies Irae levels of trash like some people want to put it, and I can see why a lot of the broader audience that hasn't seen that much anime would get a lot of enjoyment out of this series. |
