THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
FunimationCon aired the first episode today. It's a hoard of slimes! Yup, this is definitely an anime out of a fantasy world.

Ryouma (main protagonist) seems like a good natured kid although I feel bad for him since he lost his family members. I guess the adventurerers he's met so far are trustworthy. I think he's got a lot to learn in this world of uncertainity though. And slimes! The introduction of the God also has my interest.

This is off to a fun start.

Had nothing on this one since it's not airing this next season, reminded me of the first episode of dragon ball when goku meet bulma, but here it's in a fantasy standard isekai. I might pick it up again when it airs, good thing that Funimation will soon be available in my country

Ah crap, I missed this. Had it playing on a new tab but I was too busy with the Real Life Shokugeki going on at the exact same time over at Anime-Expo YT Channel (which was simply fab, btw).

From what I saw, the animation seemed so-so but I'm guessing it'll be a fun adventure kind of show nonetheless.

Looking forward to this in Fall!

I really liked the slimes, I think it seems interesting. It seems like your average isekai, but you know, gotta watch those too. And a girl appeared at the end. HMM.

Still, even if the story sucks, I will watch it. For the slimes!! :D I hope they aren't abandoned anytime soon.

It doesn't have a harem tag on MAL, but yeah, it does seem quite similar to Isekai was Smartphone to Tomo ni.

Yes, with the yellow hair girl. The other people in the cover are more of sisters/guardian type.

I don't really know if the romance progresses well or not. Many times, they just introduce and forget about it after all.

well now that I know he’s 8 and she’s 12 I don’t really think I will mind. Even if he remembers his past like slime datta

Since you're implying there was a stream of it going on, do you know if there's anywhere I can rewatch it?

Just a one-time stream not available anywhere else, to my knowledge. It was during the FunimationCon earlier this summer.

The 2nd of 2 shows this season for newbie studio Maho Film, and WOW is this super colourful for a fantasy Isekai series like Tensei Slime, that's unlike the other "I'm Standing on a Million Lives." REKT, 2 different types of Isekai by a newbie studio this season.

An adventure-fantasy SoL for an Isekai, that certainly gives off the light-hearted vibes. Ryoma...I'd fear he would be another hidden OP MC, but apparently not. And I THANK GOD this isn't a repeat of Isekai Smartphone...truly "By the Grace of the Gods" to be something cliche, yet different. And researching slimes for a start...

So-so start...going into an adventure is gonna be goofy.

It has a very soft and colorful theme, it gives you a fresh air. How he died was unique but other than that is generic isekai. I wonder if that girl is potential love interest?

Wow so this was an isekai and while it felt a bit generic at first look but it was much more amusing than I thought.

The protagonist seemed likeable enough and the other characters he saved looked like nice people too. Reinhart's sister/The blonde loli's proly the heroine and she seems like a lovely young lady.

OP and ED were okay. Visual and animation seemed fine too.

Surprisingly I liked this premise quite a bit, here's to hoping this will be an enjoyable ride.

If he keeps acting like a kid I can ignore that he is 39 and won't mind the romance with the girl, the opening shows that it is a main focus.

Like these funny God of Creator said, the setting pretty much full of a clicheness from every anime i used to watched before. The show had no shame to proved the cliche concept always interesting, even from its first episode. Nice! XD

What else? There you were, a powerful kid, that had a knowledge from his previous life, and lived with a thousand of slimes! I don't know why but this might be turned out into a typical light hearted series, with a lot of simple adventurous story at every episodes each weeks, typical Shounen jump adventure. I don't really surprised with every cliche elements that appeared in the future, and might enjoyed it 'a bit' as a fantasy sucker. Because, yeah, so far, i need to just shut my damn brain off for a while and enjoyed their soothing moment because of a simple theme within its fine arts style.

Also, the slimes design were unique too with a lot of type beneath it. So, thats it for me.

As long as they stick with the lighthearted side, I think I'll like this show, though I don't care at all for the animation and art style. Still, I care about story more than looks, so that really won't kill the show for me.

YES, SLIMES ARE LIFE, SLIMES ARE LIFE. The slimes are very much in focus for the first hundred or so chapters of the web novel. After chapter 150 my thoughts on the light novel can be summarised as "stop getting side-tracked and focus on the slimes" but since I'm still reading it obviously he is still taming slimes even then.

There's no romance.

- This one just the quote would be a "spoiler" so ...

EDIT: BTW, I don't think there's a such thing as spoilers, never have I thought "I'm glad I didn't know this was coming beforehand". The spoiler tags are just there because people will be annoyed otherwise.

This premiere warmed my heart and got teary eyed. I previously saw this first episode back in July when it was screened at FunimationCon but went ahead and watched it again as a refresher. I had the same feelings now as I did then. Those being that the slimes are so cute!! Max protect the slimes! I got worried when Reinhart and his party almost attacked the slimes. Throughout this episode they were consistently making me say aww. Helping Ryoma out so much and being really useful creatures to tame. He treats them well too. Speaking of our lead he's a precious boy. While also not being so much of a boy since he's a reincarnated salary man. How he died made me really sad. A brain hemorrhage from sneezing. Having been overworked and under cared for it really makes you empathize with Ryoma immediately. Him crying when the gods start to send him to the other world where he can finally live the life he wants after being treated horribly his whole life made me cry some too. He's finally free of all that pain. I'm very excited to see the adventures that Ryoma and his slimes go on now that meeting Reinhart had opened up his life here in this new world.

anyway, didnt expect Ryoma’s real deceased self is a giant burly man, thought is was well...a kid. yea what a dumb way to die via sneezing, then again it is possible to have brain hemorrhage after years and years of head trauma catching up to you
feels wholesome so far and i like how colorful it is

Episode 1 - Slow start, but that's to be expected. Is this an anime that was designed to encourage people to have kids, because I have protect vibes going on the whole time for the MC.

if he's actually a little kid then it'd make sense for him to fall for the little girl at first sight, but he is a goddamn OLD MAN why the FUCK is he blushing at the sight of a cute loli??? Ok, there's nothing wrong with liking lolis, but this show is obviously going for the romance route between these two, and that's just WRONG.

I love the progression of this episode. It spends the first half being as boring and dull as watching paint dry, then it switches gears for the second half and instead barrages you with every godawful cliche of these kinds of things imaginable. Middle aged dude, dies, meeting with gods, granted super powers and reincarnated as a child, status screens displaying his powers, he even verbatim says "Wow, this is just like an MMO!" And then it ends with the harem finally appearing. Not just the one girl, but an entire goddamned zoo of animal girls sings the ED. Now, I actually kind of like the ED. It's the one part of the episode that was animated. Song was nice too though.

In any case, it was boring as all hell. It compares unfavorably to the other zillion things of its ilk, whether you're coming at it from the more non-drama dramatic angle of things like Ascendence of a Bookworm, or the fantasy infodump power fantasy angle of things like overlord. Essentially, it takes the worst parts of both, and only teases a tiny bit of fanservice after the actual episode is over. Is anybody really here for a middle aged man cosplaying as a kindergardener, explaining different breeds of slime as men fawn over him for having pet slimes? Is that a thing people actually want? I'm scared that the answer is yes.

Not a harem. MC is more interested in slimes that in girls (Yes, he is)
