Story and Character: 6 Honestly it hasn't changed much from the manga, many of the characters are still pretty likable and the story overall is a very enjoyable smooth ride with the character's main goal to enjoy life as much as he can in his own way cause god gave him a 'trial' in his previous life which made it suck. Which sadly brings to one things I dislike about the story which is that they got rid of a lot of the MCs inner monologue which made him more of a likable goof than just a boring isekai protagonist.
Art: 5 First of all I want to say that I actually like how they adapted the slimes, their very pleasing to look at with their soft see through colors. What I don't really love is how undetailed and flat everything looks, their was a good amount of detailed shading in the mange which made these initially simple character designs look more pleasing but without that detailed shading a lot of the characters come off as very flat and less expressive. Even the magic looks so... unimpressive.
Sound: 8 Most of the sound design is fine but man is it weird that the kids inner voice is well the kids voice, I really thought it would be the older voice for those blackflashes and at least swap between them but no. Makes the blackflashes come off as kinda weird.
Enjoyment and Overall: 6 Honestly I didn't really love watching this other than for seeing the slimes in action. If anime is how you like consuming the medium than I would still recommend this anime to you. It will bring you through a light hearted story with a very likable cast of characters (including a MC with a very relatable and interesting backstory that allows for a lot of wholesome moments) and also has the fun twist of focusing on different slime species and what the main character does with them. But if you can I would highly recommend you check out the source material as I think it does a better job at just making the story more interesting, with better art, more detailed character moments, and overall better pacing as this is not an anime that benefits from having to meet that 24min mark, with most of the inbetween time focused on flat boring animation with dialogue.
