ZERO STAKES.
That about sums up this entire anime so far. It was kinda cute and wholesome right in the beginning, funny to see an underestimated lil slime show people up..
But EVERY episode just becomes that.
The slime is underestimated, the slime wins without even trying. It's like if One Punch Man was a slime and not funny.
ALL of the slime's henchmen are OP as f*ck too, but they're at least occasionally challenged...but you NEVER need to worry about them even when they struggle, because OP Slime-God-Sama has 100% heal potions out the whazoo, and will always step in and sweep away any threat to his underlings like brushing away a feather.
Oh, and that girl they keep showing in the opening/credits and in all the adversizing? She's not in this anime...no really, she isn't in it. Technically, kinda...actually...not in the least. Why they show her like she's a major character, I have no idea, because she ISN'T EVEN IN THIS ANIME.
So despite this anime constantly acting like it's building stakes, it actually never is.
If you enjoy flashy battles and anime waifus, you may enjoy.
If you're looking for a deep story or characters to become invested in.....look elsewhere, there's none to be found here.
I'm giving it a 4 because despite being devoid of real story, character development, direction, purpose, etc... It's at least not boring me COMPLETELY, it's just disappointing me a lot.
