He Wei Dao x Guan Yu Wo Zhuan Sheng Bian Cheng Shi Lai Mu Zhe Dang Shi

“He Wei Dao x Guan Yu Wo Zhuan Sheng Bian Cheng Shi Lai Mu Zhe Dang Shi“ is certainly a mouthful of a title, that surely lives up to the lengthy commercial itself, having outlasted its welcome in terms of length.

To be honest, I'm not sure why MAL made me watch this. Sure, it's a nice addition to the Slime franchise, but as a standalone commercial, it falls short. The animation is nothing to write home about and the commercial is far too long for something that is essentially just an advertisement. I've seen far more impressive wooden planks in my backyard.

I suppose seeing Rimuru ... is nice enough for hardcore fans tho.

I felt compelled to write a review for some reason, so here we go:

Art - 7
I believe it's the same art style as the TV show, but something felt missing. A lot of the art direction felt forced to market the noodles, which comes with it being an advertisement in the first place. The animation was also a little less effort, once again because it's an advertisement. The only reason this isn't lower is that I am biased and think Rimuru is adorable, so just seeing him in all his femboy glory is satisfying.


Plot - 2
(SPOILER AHEAD)
Rimuru obtains noodles after scaring away some bandits and ... meeting two of the most obnoxious characters I have ever seen. It's very much filler for the noodle advertisement so nothing of substance was provided, but at the very least the plot kind of meshed with the story in a weirdly fluid way for an advertisement, still nothing to write home about, but satisfactory to its goals in that regard.


Voice acting - 6

It has the same cast as the show, but the characters with the animal ears made me wanna rip my ears off my head, so 6


Conclusion - 5
Art - 7
Plot - 2
VA - 6
Worth watching if you're bored and are looking for an excuse to see the cute slime femboy talk about noodles for 4 minutes straight or just need to laugh at weird product placement, but otherwise, too long, and not worth your time. I would score it lower, but Raphael's parts were honestly pretty funny, although probably not for the reason they were supposed to be, and Rimuru as himself is always a treat.
