Puniru wa Kawaii Slime

This is the story of Puniru the slime and Kotarou, a middle school student, until they cease being friends...

Kotarou Kawaii is a second-year middle school boy. When he was in elementary school, a slime he created came to life, and for the past seven years, he has been spending time with the slime named Puniru as his "friend." However, there is one problem for Kotarou...

Over the seven years, both have grown significantly, and Puniru has transformed into an incredibly beautiful girl!

Besides her beautiful appearance, Puniru freely transforms into various cute forms as a slime, causing Kotarou to be both excited and bewildered by her carefree behavior every time.

Will Puniru and Kotarou be able to continue spending time together as "friends" despite these challenging days ahead?

Preliminary (3/12 eps)

Puniru is a Kawaii Slime is a lot of things. It's Corocoro Magazine's first romantic comedy. It's an original ip. It has a very classic gag and even classic magical girl feel. It's like if Urusei Yatsura mixed with Toy Story, much like how one makes slime in the show and on youtube, borax and starch, what a weird end creation!

Most of all it's just a fantastic adaptation of a very fun manga.

Most people know Corocoro for old school Pokemon leaks, for Pokémon Adventure, or maybe Beyblade manga, or even now Cardfight Vanguard. We RARELY see the original gems leave the pages internationally. ...

Yet here we are, an anime with great production value streaming with english subs!!!

A boy trying to phase out his toy, one part because yes indeed, she's a slime and he's trying to grow out of it. One part because shes taken the form of a cute girl, and oh is he getting at that age. And another because of society expectations of him, because he just can't get himself to call Puniru cute anymore, guys aren't supposed to like cute things!!!!

But Puniru is not having any of that, because Puniru loves Kotaro very much. In her own special slime way, but still loves him very much. But not as much as she loves melon soda floats! And transforming! She really loves turning herself into new forms in hopes Kotaro will call her cute, and maybe aid in helping him out. Will it work? Hopefully one day!

And unfortunately(fortunately?), they are not alone in their weirdness.

This anime adaptation really uplifts the already great gags of the manga. I will not spoil but like, episode 1, some weight was added to really sell some impact on a certain juvenile gag. And then episode 2, just went kinda sicko mode with one of the characters I'm not sure which expression I prefer, the manga or the animes.

Remember how I said how it has a old school feel? Well the anime decided to add on top of it by giving Puniru a magical girl transformation for her form changes. This season there are a few magical girl series, but nowhere will you find a magical girl quite like Puniru unless you turn the clock REALLY back.

Cannot be understated how crazy the anime has made it that Puniru herself has taken over the anime. She sings the opening. The ed is her singing an Ado song. Opening to Ending, you cannot escape her.

It's all just so so fun. It's slimy, and most importantly, it's cute.

Toys are just the best.

Sleeper anime of the season to be honest. #PuniruSweep

Puniru is a cool slime that can transform, and the male mc is pretty much a tsundere who loves cute stuff. I enjoyed the comedy a lot which is the main genre of the anime. It likes using referential humor and playing on the moldable nature of the slime girl. This series also has some slight traces of romance, but no drama which I am glad it avoided.

The tone is very light hearted in general. Also, the music is pretty solid in this anime. The art and animation style loks very unique to other anime. The cast of ... characters are pretty enjoyable with all of them generally having something they are passionate about.

Overall, this is a very cute comedy that I recommend to anyone wanting a good laugh.

Puniru wa Slime Kawaii a comedy where people deal with a monster or magical creature in this case a sline without asking logical questions or being scared by the creature because like these animes the only one who has sanity and common sense is the protagonist

I can say that the anime fulfills its objective the comedy has the right degree of exaggeration in the jokes that do not make the characters look irritating and if you thought like others if there are jokes with fancervi yes there are but they are not revealing given the tone of the program that is for all audiences and ... for me it does not matter much that it gives the author the opportunity to try with other types of methods to make the audience laugh but I can not deny that you will feel certain jokes repeated in some chapters

in the animation with a very kawaii style it gives the opportunity to play a lot with the transformations of the sline giving its own identity to the Anime

I recommend this anime if you want to take a break from drama and action animes
