Synopsis Thirty-seven-year-old Satoru Mikami is a typical corporate worker, who is perfectly content with his monotonous lifestyle in Tokyo, other than failing to nail down a girlfriend even once throughout his life. In the midst of a casual encounter with his colleague, he falls victim to a random assailant on the streets and is stabbed. However, while succumbing to his injuries, a peculiar voice echoes in his mind, and recites a bunch of commands which the dying man cannot make sense of.When Satoru regains consciousness, he discovers that he has reincarnated as a goop of slime in an unfamiliar realm. In doing so, he acquires newfound skills—notably, the power to devour anything and mimic its appearance and abilities. He then stumbles upon the sealed Catastrophe-level monster 'Storm Dragon' Verudora who had been sealed away for the past 300 years for devastating a town to ashes. Sympathetic to his predicament, Satoru befriends him, promising to assist in destroying the seal.
In return, Verudora bestows upon him the name Rimuru Tempest to grant him divine protection.Now, liberated from the mundanities of his past life, Rimuru embarks on a fresh journey with a distinct goal in mind. As he grows accustomed to his new physique, his gooey antics ripple throughout the world, gradually altering his fate.Written by MAL Rewrite. Overall4Story5Animation8Sound5Character4Enjoyment6Insert obligatory pretentious quote here because I’m not good at starting a review. The Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime or TenSuru is an anime that slipped into the radar of ever hungry anime watchers in October 2018. Since then, the anime has been praised as being a wholesome isekai deviating from the norm and positing a new and refreshed take on the genre.
So, imagine my confoundment when only the first 5-6 episodes held true to the preceding sentence. After the first 6 episodes it turns into your typical harem loli bait. Allow me to elaborate.The anime starts off pretty good actually withour protagonist (who is a not-so-social-virgin at 37) dying, with his dying wish being “If I ever get reborn, I want to be OP af and want to screw as many girls as I like”; to be fair, I would probably also wish something along those lines. After citing his wish, “the great sage” reincarnates him into another world as the most OP slime ever. Stuff happens and he ends up saving a tsundere dragon from eternal imprisonment by eating him and also saves a village of goblins from direwolves. He, then names all the goblins and direwolves and takes it upon himself to create an ideal living environment for the monsters to live in. Just because he worked as a “contractor” in his previous life, he’s able to plan out a whole city mostly by himself.
He also becomes an expert in holding a conversation even though he was lonely and awkward in his previous life. I don’t know how that works, but good for him right?After planning a whole city mostly by himself, begins the directionless adventure of the slime.
This is one of the main problems with this show, it does not know what it wants to be. There’s no overarching narrative, which is not necessarily a bad thing, but audiences at least need a sense of direction of movement in order not to be bored. There was something about there being a demon lord or something, idk it’s probably the same guy that’s present in every other isekai. What the show does is, it makes one of the characters say “Demon Lord” in some way or the other and the anime is like “well that’s enough plot progression for one episode. Who wants tiddies?”.
Instead of actual plot we get “plot”. Not “plot” plot, but PLOT.
Every girl the slime ever comes across is infatuated with him because we need to construct a harem or it will not be an isekai. Thus, the slime turns into chad slime and is swimming in tiddies, literally. The second problem with the show is that the danger does not feel real. Since the slime, who gets the name Rimuru by the way, is as OP as Goku in his Rainbow Super Saiyan Ultra Instinct Super Saiyan Legendary Super Saiyan God Ultra BS Level 5 form, nobody stands a chance against him. Anyone who challenges him, gets their ass handed to them in about 5 milliseconds. The fights usually go like this:1.Rimuru’s henchmen fighting evil guy.2.Evil Guy: You are just cannon fodder.3.Henchmen lose; evil guy laughs; Rimuru arrives.4.Evil Guy: You’re just a slime, you can’t do anything.5.Rimuru beats the shit out of evil guy.6.Evil Guy:.gasp.starts following Rimuru for no reason.Seriously, everyone who ever comes in contact with Rimuru becomes as loyal to him as you’re to anime.
There’s this direwolf whose father is killed by Rimuru, but he’s like “meh, shit happens. You killed my father and dozens of my friends with whom I’ve spent my life till now, but you gave me a name so I instantly forgot about them”.The comedy is ehhh??? I know comedy is subjective, but I can distinguish between well written comedy that isn’t funny just to me and just plain bad comedy.
There’s this character who doesn’t speak and just says “mmmhh” and whenever he does that Rimuru goes “Speak up, man”. It was funny the first time but became annoying after it was repeated for a million times. There’s this lizardman who’s arguably the most irksome character in the show because his only purpose in life seems to be to make stupid decisions for the sake of tasteless humour. But, the most annoying part is that those actions, those asinine actions that he takes in the show which we took for granted, actually contribute to plot progression. He overthrows his father, the king of the lizardmen, from the throne during an invasion just because 3 of his henchmen told him that he is strong.annoyed nose exhale.The characters are painfully mediocre. Except for one female character, all others are there just to show some cleavage and get wet over Rimuru for no goddamn reason. Rimuru himself isn’t that interesting of a character.
We never get an explanation to his motivation or what he wants to do, he just does whatever is presented to him. That’s weak writing. If your character holds his/her characterisation only in the context of the story then that’s weak character writing. There’s not even much to write as the characters are the definition of average. If they were on either end of the spectrum you would have something to say about them, but the characters in this show don’t have much of a personality.
Only one character gets anything resembling a backstory which was so cursory that I forgot about it as soon as it happened. The characters are introduced as some kind of badasses only to further paint them as only superficially badass. There’s a character who tames the orcs and has a calm demeanour in his first scene but loses his mind when his plan fails.
He’s portrayed as smart and shrewd but isn’t even able to figure out that his own slave is going to kill him.The female cast consists of useless fanservice character #1, useless fanservice character #2, useless fanservice character #3 up to useless fanservice character #10, and Shizue. You can literally replace the female cast with boobs and it wouldn’t make a dent of a difference. Every female in this show, in one way or another, is only present to hold Rimuru between her boobs or to get angry for absolutely no reason in order to provide “comic relief”. I’ve put comic relief if massive quotations because all it does is annoy the viewer or pad for time as every episode needs to be 20 minutes long. The “comic relief” usually (and by usually I mean all the time) consists of girls vying to get wet over Rimuru or having other characters eat food that they’ve prepared; usually (and by usually I mean all the time) the food is very unpalatable and causes the person eating said food to faint. As you can see these are entirely new concepts that have never been executed or seen before in any anime, ever.There’s a demon loli who runs around in bikinis blowing up whatever she wishes and is supposed to be a “demon lord” who are apparently the most OP people in the world. The demon loli is defeated by Rimuru by stuffing her mouth with honey; a feat which is applauded by his loyal followers quoting it as “A feat which only Rimuru-sama can accomplish”.exasperated sigh.
The demon loli (that’s what I’m gonna call her because she was only present in the show to appeal to pedos and was such a superfluous character that I don’t even remember her name and can’t be bothered to search for it), becomes besties with Rimuru because, well, we need an excuse to shoehorn in a loli with enough helium in her voice to lead to dizziness, nausea, vomiting, loss of consciousness and ultimately death.You might be thinking that despite shitting on this show why have I still given it a 4/10. Well, that’s because even though everything about this anime is utterly mediocre, I still had an urge to click the next episode and ended up finishing it in a day so it gets some points there. Even though the fights themselves can’t be considered anything other than one sided massacre, they were still fun to watch.Oh, almost forgot. The music is ok, the OPs and EDs are just fine and with the exception of one piece (which I just can’t seem to be able to find), all the others are forgettable. The animation is pretty solid though, especially during the fights.
But, what good is animation when the majority of the show is as bland and tasteless as frozen dry fruits.Tl;drIf isekai is your thing, then go for it, but again if you really like isekai then you’ve probably already watched it. If you don’t like isekai and are going to try it because you’ve heard so many good things about it, then I’d recommend you to refrain from watching it. This is another one of those mediocre isekai that has been hyped to high heavens by the anime community. It’s literally like any other isekai. Overall3Story3Animation6Sound5Character1Enjoyment4Spoiler WarningThat Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime has one huge issue preventing it from being the fun wholesome D&D comedy it wants to be.
There are no stakes. Nothing matters all because the main character is insanely overpowered. Rinmuru was a 37-year-old office worker randomly killed and then reborn in a new world as a blue slime in a JRPG-like fantasy world.
It's an original spin on the generic isekai. Until he turns into a loli a few episodes later. Like most isekai power-fantasies, he is immediately overpowered. Anything he encounters in the world can be effortlessly defeated, draining any tension out ofthe show.The premise isn’t inherently flawed, especially because it aims for a more comedic and light-hearted tone in a genre full of bland and unoriginal anime. The animation in the first episode was amazing, the background art was highly detailed.
The art quickly went from great to just decent, however, it never lost its goofy colorful style. It balanced this light-hearted tone with some drama sprinkled throughout. The stakes were always low, at first, but it was compensated for with all of the side characters who had their own drama. This structure lasted for a few episodes. Rinmaru would defeat a group or saved someone, then they would join his civilization.
After that, they would just become cardboard cutouts in the background FOR THE REST OF THE SHOW. No one is ever developed, some of them barely get any lines aside from making obvious observations a monkey could comment on. Even the zany comedy grows stale the longer the series progresses, it’s the same dumb jokes repeated over and over.Slice of life in a fantasy setting can work, but TenseiSlime is boring, insipid, and it can't decide what it wants to be. This series tries to have its cake and eat it too. The zany cast is used for comedy for most of the show with no dialogue to give us a sense of who they are, then it tries to pit them against enemies as gruesome as the man-eating ogres in violent fight scenes.
No transition to shift the tone, no lasting affect on anyone. As soon as the foes are defeated, it's right back to silly, pointless comedy. Eventually, this show lost track of its plot threads, there was no direction, inevitably the tone became so mismatched that it was no longer enjoyable.Everyone in Tensei Slime is so far below the main character in every way that they are glossed over, cannon fodder and fools to entertain him.
He never needs any of them. By the midpoint in the show, the most important supporting character is Shion, because she is constantly onscreen getting her boobs jiggled by the Rinmaru in slime form, hiding under her boobs. Aside from that, the side characters don’t have enough personality, development, and all of their dialogue is irrelevant outside of info dumping. Most of them just linger around Rinmaru like his giant harem, showering him with praise and the occasional quip as if they were NPCs.In truth, there is only one character the show cares about. Slime loli.Our slime isekai protagonist Rinmuru is mildly entertaining before he becomes a loli, after that you realize you've been baited. You thought this would be an original take on the isekai genre?
That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime Season 2
He’s just the average thirty-something-year-old isekai protagonist but he looks like a loli. Rinmaru’s loli form with his bland background, and his annoying habit of draining any tension make him an awful main character.
And I'm not against the surprising amount of violence this show used. What bothers me about the violence is that it tends to clash horribly with the wholesome tone of the irreverent Rinmuru and his band of misfit goofballs. The tone is a disaster for most of the show, many times it is difficult to tell how the series wants you to watch it. It may want you to take it seriously then laugh at it all in one scene, and the result is just confusion and boredom.Any character who offered intriguing subplots to digress from Rinmaru is forgotten by the writer almost immediately after their introduction.
Make no mistake, they all stick around the main character, but they become ornaments rather than characters. For various reasons, anyone Rinmuru defeats decides to pledge their loyalty to him.
Non-player-characters, just members of his party with the sole purpose to compliment him and be his battle fodder until he decides to one-punches the enemy into oblivion. There is one other character who exceeds him in power, but she comes so far late in the series and she does nothing.
Imagine an immovable object meets an unstoppable force. Instead of building off of one another she does nothing and acts like an idiot, then gets ordered by Rinmuru.From time to time the dialogue doesn’t take itself seriously at all, and it’s the show’s best, but also worst feature. The only thing that made it watchable, that kept me awake for all twenty-five episodes was the occasional moronic, sarcastic quip. If a funny line is tossed randomly into a bad scene or if it’s sandwiched between bland dialogue it goes so far in giving the show more energy. When Rinmaru quips at a weaker enemy for being stupider than him, it's fun. Conversely, there is some palpable tension when a conflict has been developed for episodes and Rinmaru’s underlings work to succed. However, he always steps in with an annoyed expression, taunts his enemy with an awkward joke, then easily defeats it.
That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime Episode 1 English Dub Funimation
Who would want a main character like this? Before a fight Rinmaru often says 'this fight won't be easy' BUT IT IS ALWAYS EASY. He is too ludicrously overpowered for what this show is trying to be. Like a vacuum, he drains away all of the tension. Without tension in a fantasy-action anime, there is little left to enjoy.Another major problem with the broken story structure of this show is the pacing.
The author has so little attention span that there can never be more than one plotline occurring at once. No time for character development. No time for world building. We have a conflict and we’ll have to see it all the way to its boring unsatisfying conclusion before the next plotline can even be introduced. I never thought I would actually miss Overlord, but at least that show made an effort to tell a competent story. Also, every arc in Tensei Shit but one ends incredibly anticlimactically.
Even the arcs that end on flashy action set pieces are still unsatisfying because the main character is so overpowered nothing poses a threat to him. Dozens of potential plot threads are cut off and left open to potentially be revisited in the future. And this is not a writing technique the author is intentionally using. Rather, it is more of a ‘Plan B’ in case the main plotline becomes too boring and repetitive.The final arc in the show comes out of nowhere. The new characters, a group of kids, have no personalities other than one trait if we're lucky. Hollow, boring characters are par for the course in Slime Shit, but this is where the show went from boring to painful.

It tries to make us care about the new NPC kids. We were told by the show that they are going to die if Rinmaru doesn’t help. Thankfully he doesn’t care about anything so he ditches his small civilization temporarily to help them.
He resolves the conflict by himself, totally separately of the kids, and they end up just following him around trying to act important like the rest of the supporting cast in this terrible hackneyed series. After the anticlimactic finale, there is nothing left worth caring about. Overall2Story2Animation8Sound1Character2Enjoyment1.This review contains SPOILERS!.That time I got reincarnated as a slime is basically a bad version of overlord.
It started as a light hearted slimavilization which was fun in the beginning but then became horribly boring.The premise starts off with our 37 years old virgin NEET being killed and reincarnated as a jesus with a mix personality of a mary sue and being nice because supposedly being nice and having a god like power can make girls with big tits or naked lolis to like you. There's literally no story here. Rimuru is building his own slimavilization along with everyone he meets. There are nothreats, no stakes, nor any tension in this already 1 dimentional story. The same goes with political workings as well.
Our MC takes this Jesus attitude with everything, and characters always end up going 'oh okay, lets all be nice to each other'. In the meanwhile, the world has such physics that if monsters are named, then they will evolve. Basically my cat will evolve into a leopard if I name her.All the characters are bland. All we have is an edgy MC, a big tiddy onee-san, another big tiddy dryad, a naked OP loli, a wolf and a bunch of goblins. Rest weren't rememberable at all.
The only ones I liked were eaten the very episode they were introduced.The worldbuilding is trash. The only thing we know about this world is about different species that live. The voice acting is bad at various levels accounting to childish voices. Even the music is pretty bad. Except for the first ending theme, which was semi-decent; the songs are a measure of how childish the show can go. The only thing that is preventing me from giving it a 1 is the artstyle and the animation, because of 8bit's solid technical staff.
