this leave a bad taste in my mouth, while i do like veldora, this is not how you end a series. i cannot think anything else other than they failed to meet the deadline and had no choice but to resort to this filler.

Considering that they have a whole second season in the works, and that 2 episodes would have been too short to complete any of the upcoming arcs, I'd say the fillers did their job in "filling in the time" and acting as a promo to the next season.

Overall I'd say the anime was alright, started slowly like the LN. A lot of stuff got switched around to make things more lighthearted, though I wish they'd show a bit of the badassery from the LN/WN this season, I can wait for it. They've set it up real nice so 2nd season will be all action packed.

More exciting things will come, we haven't even seen Rimuru's true form yet. They only teased the likes of Baretta and Diablo, and I still haven't had my labyrinth Disneyland yet!

don't know what everyone is smoking, it's definitely one of the best isekai shows in a very long time and i've seen quite a lot of them.

I just saw the first 10 episodes of shield hero but that was so meh that i had to drop it.

This one has an interesting world with an interesting plot (sid meier's civilization anyone) with a cool mc as a slime and very cool side characters (my fav is gobuta for obvious reasons).


Anyway giving it a 8/10 for the season, definitely one of the best new shows that came out in 2018 with rascal does not dream of bunny girl.


It's very entertaining and i can't wait for next year to see how slime and his kingdom fare.


Shield hero is worse, but both of them are no different from your trash isekai. Neither of them have anything going for them.
you're cool

I think maybe they should've swapped around episode 24 and 25 to end the season on a higher note but nevertheless there's really no issue.

Overall, I thought this was a pretty good isekai. Definitely miles above some of it's other brethren. What I think worked really well for Slime especially in the first half is how instead of trying to 'deconstruct' or try something new just ran with isekai tropes as such. They took all the tropes and just made it really pleasant to watch. I'm with a couple of other people in agreeing that the second half suffered a bit and wasn't nearly as interesting as the first, especially the final arc of this season but I thought the Shizu episode was great. All the character were pretty likable and production was pretty good so all in all this was a really nice entertaining show.

8/10, Looking forward to S2.

I definitely needed that recap low key. It was very cool, I was always interested in what the dragon was doing, like if he was a spirit or if he was just sitting alone again. But it was just a ok end to the show, I greedily wanted more Rimuru.

What a way to end the anime xD Probably the worst episode hahaha but no worries because it doesn't affect me, because it was more than obvious that the anime ended at episode 23. Won't say much because i already commented about my enjoyment in the eps 23.

I'm glad that we have another season announced, glad this anime did well.

YIKES! Ending it with a recap episode. Shame. I wanted to see more side story of a tsundere dragon , not a recap episode.

Anyway: first half of the show was decent. Then this anime started to become a disaster.

What an extra fun and good summary of this great first season.
Verudora is great and very funny 😂. He started playing Shogi with Ifrit, who would say it? I never imagined that relationship. LOL
Regarding Shizu's apprentice, I wonder if she will become an enemy. According to Ifrit, it is very powerful.

Time passed quickly, I still remember the first chapter. I knew it would be a great anime since I saw it. It was true, I was thrilled with each episode, it became one of my favorites and I consider it the best anime I've seen. I loved 😁 9/10. And what a great joy I felt when I heard the news that the Second Season of this anime has been confirmed. Simply, great. I will be waiting for you with many anxieties, I know it will be full of surprises 😁.

"He considers them his friends" "He accepts them regardless of race and gives them a home." What a great protagonist Rimuru is, is one of the reasons why I love this anime. Great story, good characters and an incredible animation.

If this is the last episode of the first season (25 one according to MAL) then why is their another entry for this episode : https://myanimelist.net/anime/39607/Tensei_shitara_Slime_Datta_Ken_-_Kanwa__Verudora_Nikki

All in all I actually liked this because we never got to see Veldora like ever, so it was great to here his and Ifrit's banter and slowly becomes friends. I knew that the actual story ended at 23 and I knew this had something to do with Veldora so I am not that bitter, I do understand why people are because we just got a beautiful recap(AMV style) in episode 23. Ok I didn't think I would miss this after it ended but already I do feel something is missing. (I gave it a 9/10 just because this is the best Isekai I've seen)

What a sh-tty way to end a 25 episode season. The Verudora Dragon diarybonus material in the manga was a fun read, but I didn't want the final episode of the anime to be just that and 100% recaps. They should just have ended it with Episode 24 if they weren't going to add more preview for the next season. Recap episodes should occur 1/4 or 1/2 way through the season. We shouldn't have a recap season finale. WTF? What a f-tard episode. I want to grab whoever was responsible and slap them in the face a few times.

I was wondering what they are going to do with Veldora's original story. Turns out it is him narrating everything that has happened so far to Ifrit. I will be lying if I say that I am not disappointed. They could have atleast announced beforehand that it would be a filler. They should have used this episode to better flesh out the main story instead of skipping stuff.

They did tho, they announced that Episode 24 is going to be an anime original with Shizu and Diablo as the main character and that Episode 25 would be Veldora's Diary (which is basically side-stories about Veldora and Ifrit and what they were doing inside Rimuru)

Da Fack did I just watch?
When I read that this episode was Verudora focused, I thought he would talk about his past life or something. Not this cheap crap.
Why do this? They should have axed this episode. Nobody asked for this.
Now I'm not sure if I should give it a 7/10 or 8/10. I really dislike how the director handled the second cour of this series. First half was a 9/10 and love it a lot. Second half was just atrocious.

Yes, they did announce that last two episodes are going to be side stories. But this was no side story. This was a filler. I don't consider this episode for rating the main story anyway.

Huh... guess this is the end? Not quite the way I'd choose to end off the series.

In any case, not sure how the source material was structured and if the anime was a faithful adaptation. I was under the impression this was going to be a peaceful slower paced series at the start (which was nice in its own way), but it went away from that and started up building up the demons lords. Yet till the end after 24 episodes, there really isn't an established antagonist to Rimuru that we know much about.

Not going to hold too much against it since it does have a season 2 and won't leave us hanging in that regard. But since it's not exactly a relaxing chill paced show nor do we really have a grasp on the overarching story and the main antagonist, it's hard to place the finger on how I feel about it.

Veldoya is just too much of a tsundere. XD
The way him and Ifrit interacted was just so much like a couple meeting for the first time and getting it on. That touch between the two like, "Ah so warm" and "It tickles". Multitasking to the finest be like watching his kid grow up in Rimuru and playing shogi on the sides and on the go with analyzing the prison(so he says XD) was the true parent feeling.
All over, a great reminiscence for the whole show.
When someone asks me why I like anime, I'd say Just Because.

False, i wouldn't say that when the world is interesting, the plot is engaging with you actually rooting for tempest to succeed and for it to evolve.

Also the main character is quite engaging and the fact he doesn't change from his past life makes him mch better than most mc's in isekai shows, he is much more interesting to watch. His predicament as a slime adds to that.

The side characters are also very fun to watch and interesting.


All of this from the world that keeps growing to the main plot to the various characters.
All of this adds as to why this show is easily one of the better isekai shows out there.

So yeah I don't agree with you at all


And can people stop criticizing the show for skipping some manga details, it's an adaptation not a panel to panel recreation.
Like really, that's your biggest criticism of the show???
I'd rather have a show that tries something different than the manga and fails than something that is a carbon copy and fails.

Still uncertain if this "last" episode is actually its own entree or not, but in general if we look at it from a complete separate perspective then this recap was really well done in both pacing and actual story capturing.

what a weak way to end the season. Another flashback.. I hoped we would atleast see something new about Veldora.

Final score is a 6. Its a generic wish fullfillment isekai, with OP MC and harem. That this has a score well above 8 is disgusting.

That's because the last two episodes are just extras and not the main story. Main story finished way before episode 25. Besides, it was nice watching Veldora's side. Been a fan of this story since its LN days and so far, not yet disappointed. As far as I could say, the producers delivered what I was expecting for this story and more.

If I would make the promise to punch you in the face with one week anticipation and as soon as the week has passed I actually punch you in the face, would you be okay with me saying "hey I warned you, what did you expect?"

cmon mate u r not making any sense! its ep 24.5 and ppl are upset after watching it bcuz it was a recap! but we already knew that its gonna be a recap! if u dont like it just dont watch it! it was a Ova or whatever!


What do you mean I'm not making any sense? it's a threat stablished with plenty of time and the one getting the punch would obviously get upset. I could swap the setting with a goverment announcing a new tax with a 6 month notice and people would still be upset once they reached the dateline and be forced to pay the taxes. No one likes taxes and at the same time, no one likes recaps becase they are unnecesary and a season finale it's a terrible choice by the production staff. They could just ended it on episode 24 or better yet use that airing slot to add one more episode to the final arc with Shizu's kids and push over episode 24 as a finale episode 25.

Why are fanboys like you so butthurt that they don't want to hear negative or contrairan opinions? "it's gonna be a recap, just don't watch it" of course people are going to watch it AND JUDGE IT, it's in our right of freedom of speech.

Probably the funniest or lamest I should say, is how YOU claim that you're ok with different opinions, but here you are, whinning and moaning like a little kid because others didn't like an expected recap

LOL!! I was part of that argument trying to get them to merge those episodes back to the original show. I've honestly never finished the last few episodes because I was so mad about them being separated and was hoping they would merge them eventually but yeah...at this point I guess I should just fold >.>



More on topic, I didn't hate this recap. Knowing what it was ahead of time (the title gives it away, honestly) I liked it quite a bit. It's probably the best way to prepare for S2, so I may rewatch this instead of the entire season when the time comes.

Oh, good. Now it makes more sense and won't annoy those who watched it just to complete the series as it can just be skipped. Even I would have preffered to watch it later on separately, when I forgot what the season was about.

As for the episode itself it was fine, as a recap it was even really good becase most of recaps just show you what you already saw, here we have at least some development of Veldora and Ifrit, pity it's just an audio recorded conversation, but still.
