That Time I got Reincarnated as a Slime
| I mean I am watching this just for Valentine sama |
| "All truth is meaningless. In the end, 'meaning' comes from the mind of each individual human. Even when there is a single truth, it can mean different things to different individuals. The truth has no meaning in itself!" - Erika Furudo |
| too much meeting and talking the first half was boring for me ngl |
| Just no tension at all for meetings to be stretched that long. Even when the action returned, the antagonists absolutely sucked, dont get to know that much about them to build them up as interesting or credible characters and Shion thumped them without breaking a sweat, let alone Rimuru protecting Hinata with breaking down highly OP spells since Rimuru's too invincible and perfect. Now Hinata, one source of tension that might have had a chance in the past against Rimuru is now just a friend and now, RImuru again has absolutely no credible opponents or antagonists that can genuinely threaten his perfect utopia of boring boardroom meetings, parties and festivals where everyone just sings for his name. It's just flat out awful writing wise and Rimuru is far too strong and opponents, whether the Seven days clergy or Clayman look and come across as complete jokes of antagonists to make this worthwhile. |
| I like it so far despite a lack of action in early episodes. The big selling point of slime is the good cast and world building. |

@MangagnaM well seeing that he is a demon lord and everyone in tempest got power ups when he did theyre not gonna be the easiest bunch to beat?… especially since they’re monsters and the ppl they’re fighting are humans + rimuru won’t have many opponents other than other demon lords or dragons or any higher power to go against him.. so ofc a lot of the antagonists are gonna seem “lame” or wtv
| @dswizzz I wish they werent as OP either, a bit more balance and threat with Rimuru and company not having all the skills handed to them in the world (even through death for some like Shion), and the antagonists being.... not comical and have some kind of threat to them to make the meetings with protecting Tempest mean more, that would help. But it feels too late to really fix Rimuru's side. Felt like season 2 had something going with the surprise attack killing many but the whole bringing them back to life and having everything feel like a utopia again after doesnt help one bit. Nothing can truly go wrong for Rimuru and company, and have it stay that way that they have to learn from or overcome later on. At the bare minimum, at least give the antagonists some depth to them and not have them be overly corny and cartoony like what Clayman and even the Seven Days clergy. There's a lack of nuance and the Holy Knights also looked like complete geeks to Shion so there's just no alley whatsoever for tension to happen and its hurting the series. At this point, just more Slime Diaries makes sense more of this current formula of Slime. |
| i do really enjoy it, the characters, comedy the world building that's what made me fall in love with tensura at the first place and this season continue doing so. i also really find myself loving hinata character, which I disliked previously. |
| I was never a fan of slime. It was good enough to continue. This is just my opinion. Maybe I have bad taste, but that is still only my taste. It has nothing to do with you. I hope nobody attacks me personally for having a different opinion. Season 3 is the first time I dropped a show with amazing potential. I feel no connection to the characters. Moreover, there are like 90 characters? How does anyone remember all of them? Attack on Titan had about the same amount of characters, but I was somehow able to connect with them. I dropped the show. Half the time, I am thinking, this character has little to no meaning. This character.... I don't even know him/her. This character..... like the seven days..... and then they..... I was like, so what? I don't care about them at all. Too many characters have little to no impact. |

| I just keep watching this because I have a lot of free time, but I haven't enjoyed tensura for so long, it's always the same loop: there's some evil guy scheming shit from behind the scenes, some manipulation/misunderstanding happens to force a conflict, add some yapping inbetween, some inconsequential fights, then the conflict gets resolved and they celebrate doing a festival. Then another evil guy wants to take down Rimuru for whatever reason, so there's some more evil scheming, some more misunderstandings, some more yapping... honestly, it's my fault for continuing to watch something that's clearly not for me |
 |
| I actually enjoyed the start of the season, the build up for something great. Then we got the setup with Tempest vs Western Holy Church and our gang just did... nothing. Rimuru fought a bit with Hinata and then tanked an attack. Shion just tanked an attack to show her superiority and the other four interesting fights were off-screened. Diablo got me hyped for a moment before he just used a very boring spell to kill his opponents. I don't mind meeting episode which set up interesting developments. But the payoff sucked so much this time, that I'm not really excited for the rest of the season anymore. |
| it didn't feel worth my time. stopped watching after episode 2. might pick it up some day. |
