That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime
So far Tensei Shitara Slime seems the most popular anime of the season and one of the most renowed series in general. Its light novels and manga went amongst the best selling in Japan. On some of the most used streaming websites for watching anime such as KissAnime and 9Anime the first seaason has more than 20 million users and considering that it is 24 episodes it still has a long future. On other various sources it also appears to be currently the most viewed seasonal anime and with very active communities. The recent characters that were added in the main cast played an important part in this and considering that it gets the most praise it shows a lot about the franchise. |

So yea even on MyAnimeList it proves that Tensei Slime is the top. That may be so, but in members it's still 4th here, if you look at fall show list . In the end I don't see why popularity matters much though. It does not correlate with quality. Slime isn't bad however, and I think it's popularity is relatively deserved. |

Of course, that is if we were Japanese and didn't stream it lol. But yeah, Slime deserves every bit of popularity it gets. |

But yeah, Slime deserves every bit of popularity it gets. Yes, from business perspective it matters, but that's clearly not what OP was attempting to say. I think shows should be compared by quality, because that's what's most important for consumer, not popularity, that only matters to whoever creates it. And as you mentioned, our views do not translate into profits anyways, unless we buy merch or something. OP was also comparing pirate sites. And OP was attempting to imply that it's popularity implies it's quality, or so did I understand the last sentence. |

| Goblin Slayer and Seishun Buta Yarou wa Bunny Girl Senpai no Yume wo Minai is more popular at this point. But who cares! Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken is undoubtedly one of the best and unique isekai anime out there. One of isekai anime that I actually enjoyed including Konosuba, Rezero and Grimgar. |

| It doesn't surprise me. This anime is REALLY fucking good. |
| It's the most popular two-cour show both in popularity and in score, at least, no matter whether they are currently in their first half or second half. That includes any split cours that are now in their first or second cour. Bunny Girl Senpai has both a higher score and is more popular, but it's only one-cour. Goblin Slayer has a higher popularity but a lower score, but it's only one-cour. Jojo 5 is a sequel that has higher score but a lower popularity and it's a three-cour series SAO:Alicisation is a sequel that has higher popularity but a lower score and it's a four-cour series (though I heard rumors that it will be a "dual split cour", as in two two-cours with a break in-between). The thing with Slime is that it takes its time, or more precisely takes twice as much time in comparison to other LN adaptations, with 8 episodes per volume as opposed to the standard 4 episodes per volume. So it feels like despite being at episode 11 it feels more like it's at episode 5 or 6 right now. It basically covers in two cours what other LN adaptations would cover in one cour. |

| Like, how my exam is over, I think it is time to give this series a try, I read about 10 pages of the manga and stop, simple because the overall premise didn't sound interesting. I will give the anime a shot, and also Goblin slayer which I have heard a lot of controversy about and sao new season. |
