Yeah..personally I love tensura more than overlord because I love how the author mix the action/adventure with slice of life/comedy genre successfully not like other isekai anime...it feels really wholesome and peaceful when the sol part appeared and it become tense when fight scenes appeared on vol 11 and above...don't get me wrong,I like overlord too...but dark fantasy is not really my cup of tea...I prefer wholesomeness

Yeah at the end it depends on your preference

hmm yep, everyone has their own opinions.. we can't go off and just say this is not good... well that anime did a lot better than this. I personally don't like it. I am a fan of Overlord too... but never expected people will compare a dark fantasy with the normal isekai genre..

This makes zero sense…. The idea of comparing isn’t to show how similar an anime is, it’s to point out the different approaches and ideas that make them different. It doesn’t make any sense for you to ban a comparison between any two things because all your doing is limiting possible conversations. Also, as far as the similarities between the two anime go, they are INCREDIBLY similar. Both are isekai. Both have an OP main character that is initially confused about their situation. Both feature Harem elements. And yes, both have aspects of world building despite what you might think. In overlord, Ains is the ruler of a guild and he tries to make it a country. He engages in diplomacy with kings and leaders.

My point is that you should never shut down a possible conversation when the whole point of these forums is to engage in conversation with people who enjoy what you enjoy. If you don’t like a comparison that someone has made, that’s fine, but don’t parade around demanding comparison between anime that are only the same because to be frank, I can’t think of an anime more similar to slimesekai than overlord.

Yeah you can’t compare the two. The only thing that is shared is the Isekai genre. And that is iffy since one is a game but meh.

Now on the battles my main gripe for slime is the battles. Slice of life and world building are perfect enough for me. I enjoy all the characters but the battles could be a bit longer. I know its not a battle story but man I want to see some longer battles. Rimuru vs Hinata was long enough to satisfy me and I wish was an example going forward. Could be a bit longer but that was good enough for slime.

yeah go on.. also ,mention this too, Rimiru is playing a game in human world, he slept and when he woke up he became a slime... and Benimaru, shion are NPC... shuna betrayed him and go on... so similar? how the hell is this is similar? if it's a op and isekai you'll consider this a similar anime?use your maturity dude....

For me,I actually fine about the comparisons...but the thing is...overlord fans tends to dislike rimuru's personalities..did they forget that slime is not a dark fantasy at all?...why they make a fuss over rimuru's personalities?..rimuru and ainz are different. And yet they want rimuru to be villainous like ainz...I can stand comparison about world-building,plot,character developments... but I can't stand that one

As everything it's all about personal opinions, I watched 10 chapters of Overlord and I swear in the first 5 I was trying hard not to sleep. I ended up dropping it despite so many people telling me the good it is. Slime is one of my favorite shows, I'm at day with manga and everything. It's just everyone opinion tho. But personally there's no point of comparison lol

wtf? Rimiru wasn’t playing a game… he got stabbed. Also, wtf do you mean by NPC? It’s not a game world. It’s just an alternate fantasy world. What I mean by similarity isn’t the characters themselves, although ains is very similar to rimiru, it’s the storytelling, worldbuilding, and reliance on character interactions that are similar between the shows (among other things). I also looked at your list and overlord isn’t anywhere on there so how would you know if they are similar? This is all besides my main point however; you shouldn’t claim that people shouldn’t compare things just because you don’t think they are similar. People should be allowed to compare whatever they want like I could compare Kimi no na wa to overlord and come up with a couple of similarities despite them being completely different. I shouldn’t be barred from comparing them. These forums exist for the sole purpose of letting people discuss anime. Comparisons are a big part of that, so if someone makes a forum post telling people to stop comparing two specific shows, I’m gonna have a problem with it. Especially when they are two shows as similar as these are.

Why not both of the mc of the series has their own nation so it's a fair comparison and im pretty sure nobody really said that they're both entirely the same and no one really ever said that this certain slime or overlord is just a copy to the other............

Let me tell you something:

1. I joined in March, but does it mean it means that I'm new to anime? even if I am slime has 37 ep and if you check my list I watched much long-running anime. It's just overlord doesn't make it into my list. Well let me be honest, if I don't know about Overlord how can I start this discussion?

2. you shouldn’t claim that people shouldn’t compare things just because you don’t think they are similar. ---- Well it's not similar, that's why I'm trying to prove it.. also many people are not thinking it.. just some hardcore fans doing it

3. Rimuru is not Ainz... plz remember that.

4. Forums - Well I accept it, but when the comparison goes wrong, these kinds of threads can arise

If it looks like I stand no chance I’ll run away and think up a new plan, but otherwise, I should see how strong it is with my own eyes, right?

I saw many comments today about everyone comparing Slime with Overlord...

Well let me tell you one thing.. overlord and slime are different.

1. Slime has some slice-of-life elements, world-building moments.. whereas overlord doesn't.

2. Also coming to ln sales, just check this year's half ln sales... you'll get my answer.

3. Slime is not about conquering the world. He just wants to create a place where he can live happily.

4. Tense? How much do you need? Listen, every arc of slime will a half world-building and half battles. We are just at the start.. so try to wait, also the battles will not disappoint you.

5. Also coming to battles, some people said they end in a flash and boring. I don't know why you guys are telling this. This is not a battle manga or ln right?

These are for now.. please don't compare them. Slime is Slime!!!

Nice one. Let me add some. Overlord is only about power and fight, also gaining goal only with that. On slime, main character try to get into his goal with tactics & relationship. Overlord MC is the most strongest being in the series, but slime is not like that. There are some enemy who more powerful than him, such as guy crimson, milim, 2 other true dragon who are not sided on him, eastern empire, and much more. Also there severall much more characters who has same level power as him. In this series is not about power, but about dominate world without bloodshed & gaining trust. The better parts is about solving schemes that plotted against him.

Both are great series. Comparing and contrasting both of these isekais does not necessarily connote a negative purpose. Some people would do this for the sake of smart conversations. Some would do so for mere analysis and identification of the "goods" and "bads" in the series.

after chapter 249,those are all side stories...but i hope you don't take WN as the source of anime/manga since both of them follows LN

Many WN only readers took WN as the source of the anime and they thought that WN and LN are the same

well let me do some math...
If half of the EPS is recap then in 2 episodes one episode will be recap... So out of 24 ep it is 12 ep recap... Damn crunchyroll tricked me. I didn't get the 12 ep recap.. can you please tell me where it is??

Then what? Look buddy slime have some moments where it need to show what happened there.. in the second ep he need to explain what he's gone through.. same as S2 part 1 ep 9.... So try to be patient... There's still a lot of content to be adapted... If my guess is correct chapter 75,76 from the manga will be adapted as ep 3... Also please check S2 part 1 ep 10,11,12 there's isn't any your so called recap right?

Nah
S1= 30% of Overlord
S2= 80% of Overlord
But tbh Overlord is better since the story's "pacing" (idk what does pacing relly mean but I'm gonna put it here) are faster than Tensura. And also Tensura is too rndom at making the world building, like Charibdys attack, Shizu's students arc, etc

hmm did you read what I said in the message? well if not better read it now...
you guys are just telling like if a character is a bit op (rimuru is still not op) and kill some characters then it will be Overlord?

Well after looking at the discussions I think the director of tensura (unofficially made a statement about comparing) said the same thing in a recent interview..

well since we can't change you people. just be in the same state..

But tbh Overlord is better since the story's "pacing" (idk what does pacing relly mean but I'm gonna put it here) are faster than Tensura. And also Tensura is too rndom at making the world building, like Charibdys attack, Shizu's students arc, etc

not too random.. it's just going through the arc ... damn i can't explain

I know I know, but why must become like that? Even if it's affecting the story, it's feels like filler
