Seeing as though this show is already getting a lot of criticism, is there any other people like me that actually thought it showed promise?

I'm not going to hide from the fact it looks pretty low budget and the animation wasn't great, I still think the directing was really good. Directing isn't the same as animation quality before people come at me.

A lot of people also seem critical of the first episode, claiming it was just one big battle but I'm pretty sure that's why they decided to release the first two episodes simultaneously. Episode 1 showcased how his power works, the strength of the slimes and proud wolf, mentioned the cult and we got a little bit of his personality towards the end. Episode 2 we got more info about his past life as well as more backstory around who I assume will be the bad guys in later episodes.

I'm not claiming the first episodes were anything amazing but I think people are being a little too harsh for a show that I think could turn out to be a decent Isekai.

How exactly does this show any promise?
That's probably the most generic and uninspiring show this season.
Every cliche and trope here is completely overused.

Reincarnated as a Slime and Overlord are also generic Isekai but they're good. People who use the word generic as criticism, don't know what it means.

Cliche isn't always bad. Animation was ok as OP said. However the art was above average so far. the way his power work is very different from the other isekai/fantasy protagonists that I've seen. he's not that OP even though it's obviously a power fantasy and that shows his human side more. However, Yuji is as generic as it gets. The only reason I remember his name is because the slimes jept saying it and because Yu is also in Yuusha (Hero). So, that helped. But, I'll stick with it for a couple of more episodes and see how it goes.

Having soulless husk without personality as a protagonist will drag entire show down.
Tensura and Overlord actually had their own interesting aspects like world building and morally gray protagonist.
Here, there is absolutely nothing.
Those two episodes shown no promise whatsoever. Even the title of the show is a huge red flag. But we'll see where it goes.
I cannot imagine it being worse than Spirit Chronicles.

Overlord is heavily carried by the supporting cast, Ainz has pretty much no personality. Not even the best skeleton Isekai MC, that easily goes to Skeleton Knight's MC in Arc.

A promise is nothing if it's not kept. Also, I think there's a lot of good shows out there people probably wanna spend their time on something else.

As a fellow Tensura enjoyer I must agree with you here. Even though I like that they started the ep with action and watching the first 2 eps in a block, this Isekai doesn't show a lot of promise (or at least yet).

As Usagi said earlier promises mean nothing if it ain't kept, this is the case of this show here. I thought it just be a typical slow life series where he's just living life with his slime army. But the way it's done isn't good. The slime army design are pretty good I might say so myself. But outside of that there's nothing interesting going on there. I'm gonna give it a few more episodes but if doesn't interest me I'm dropping it.

It's a generic isekai, but I like the cute slimes. I'll watch it just for them, and who knows maybe the series will get a bit better. It's already better than last season's demon lord anime at the very least

Man, forgive him. He just didn't know that 'bland' and 'generic' all refer to something indistinguishable (from the mass).

Also, it came from the same person rating Kanojo, Okarishimasu a 9.

Wouldn't say it shows promise its probably going to be a 6/10 for me, maybe a 5/10 we have to see how the rest of the season goes. Just remember a lot of shows put their best animation in the first couple of episodes. They're were some neat shots in the first few episodes but the plot so far looks generic.

Told myself I wasn't going to watch it but I was interested because they released two episodes in one day. Plus I like slimes they're cute creatures.

I think it's fine, tropes aren't inherently bad but the execution of how this overpowered MC got so strong was pretty lackluster. I think this show will scratch that isekai itch for me, but won't be something I'll follow after the anime is over like Overlord/Tensura/etc.

Every? You mean EVERY isekai anime is rushed or has an overpowered protagonist?

I've read the manga, so I know quite a bit of the story, and I really enjoy this series, but I thought it was an odd way to take the first couple episodes.
Bad decision? Nah, but odd nevertheless. Still excited to see it all animated!!

And I for one like quite a good handful of Isekai series. I don't care if they are "generic" or not. They are entertaining to me, and honestly, that is all that should matter to someone.
If you enjoy it, enjoy it. If you don't? Move on.

And honestly, by now, most anime IS generic or really similar to another anime in one way or another.

uhhh, this forum just went from positive to negative very fast.

I personally liked the show, mainly because the trailer and clips I'd watched looked so good and I anticipated it but I wouldn't say it's the best either. I wouldn't also say that it was terrible too. It was good, I enjoyed it, liked the slimes and the cool tricks he used and everything.

Just hate on me it's my opinion and it shouldn't offend you because I'm not personally attacking you, just let the people who like the show, like it. Stop hating on someone's parade.

I think it shows promise. I thought the first episode was mid but thats probably why the studio got two episodes out at once. However since it is the usual op isekai character and the Isekai Harem anime seems to have really good animation, Im somewhat worried that this anime that shows promise will be trash. It seems to be a typical thing for there to be an isekai/reincarnation and harem trash anime to air every single season, one of the reasons I think so many people call it a trash genre. Usually its easy to tell just by how the animation looks, but Im not sure this time. I expect it to be the isekai harem anime or black summoner, but you never know.

I find it amusing that this author keeps throwing the same trope over and over again in both story he writes.

- MC are OP and have little awareness on how they're out of norm for their respective story setting.
- Support cast are cute girl for people to ship with cute personality. "Support carried the show" is not good?. It better than a decoration for MC to collect for his party. The rest of character are villager A B C D introduce to show how OP and AWESOME MC is.
- Same setting with other 100 isekai out there like it use same RPGMaker asset with default please-insert-your-name MC. "Isekai" selling point is " MC to another world" so of course most popular Isekai tend to have either strong MC with actual personality or proper world building.
- "Sage"?? 90% of this "Sage" novel are all "MC is OP" nothing feel "Sage" at all

imo isekai are ok as long as it not made-in-factory with same pattern over and over again to milk the target audience.

For me, I think it had a strong first episode, at least in today's Isekai standard. It's still the usual protag-is-OP-for-some-reason-and-saves-people-even-when-he's-main-motivation-is-social-issues Isekai Anime, but the first episode was executed more in a fantasy genre approach which for me, left an impression that they will take a different approach with this one.
The 2nd episode, unfortunately, gave the impression that it's gonna be the usual Isekai again; having main characters meet randomly (assuming the 2 female characters will remain) and form a bond too quickly because protag is a nice boi who saves peepo... you know, the usual Isekai drill.

But credits where credit is due, it's not really one of those irritatingly lazy Isekais... at least for now. Let's see how it fares.

It was more enjoyable for me than I thought it would be. Although the directing was the worst part imo. Part of what can make isekai interesting is getting thrown into a world and discovering it with the protagonist, but here we follow someone who has already been there for a week. Sure, there's a lot he hasn't seen yet, but getting things like meeting his monster companions via flashbacks won't be as fun this way.

As for showing promise... maybe.
If it gets mentioned that he is using his monsters like he was used by his company in his previous life, or how he reacts when one of them maybe dies, that can be interesting. But that can also be a burden, bc if I can think of that spontaneously and it doesn't play a role soon, then I'll get the feeling that it will never be what I'm imagining.

For now it's alright. At least the OP and ED (with the Bohemian Rhapsody part xD) are bangers.
