Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken is about an overpowered slime that builds their own town, and hardships it encounters on the way.
The most distinct feature about this anime is how it is able to keep its lightness while still touching on the serious topics, unlike most shows Slime is almost not edgy at all and always goes on with being a chill anime. With some of the best cryptic foreshadowing, it managed to make me keep on watching even though it was the third time I was experiencing the same things happen.
Isekai Slime with its gorgeous animation keeps your attention on the screen, and unlike most anime, this one has great background arts. Constantly switching between styles to define Magic, Potions, etc. makes up for a pleasant experience on its own.
With some of the best characters, I have witnessed in a while, it made the show very enjoyable. Many people tend, for some reason unknown to me, hate Rimuru, and most side characters. The protagonist is a very refreshing character that constantly tries to solve everything by peace and no fighting, it is not like he won’t win if he will fight, but he is trying to solve by peace. Him receiving help from The Great Sage also results in Rimuru essentially possessing 2 distinct points of view. Some of the side characters also possess fun personalities, and watching them interact is also one of the things which makes the Slime the anime fun.
Great Sage has a very big role in explaining the world that the protagonist transported. In contrast to many different isekais or any anime, which has anything that contradicts the physics of the world we live in, slime anime uses Great Sage to detail the details of the world that the protagonist is in, unlike most anime which doesn't expand on the topic and only poorly explains it or expects you to understand what is the rules of the world as it progresses.
I will have to admit that the series becomes very tedious for an arc, the Charybdis arc, but later it redeems itself, it is tolerable comparing the enjoyment you will get after the arc.
Having read the LN I could easily state that the story only gets better as it advances. Having the second season already announced it is reassuring that we will be able to see what occurs to this lovely slime and his town. Already knowing the story, I would predict If the show right now is a solid 7 the second season would probably end up being a strong 8.
