People do recommend Overlord with this one, but there aren't much similarities. Overlord has a great character and an amazing story. The character is not just OP, he is truly aware of his powers and is willing to use them properly, while "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime" features, well, a slime. The start is very promising and shows a simple Japanese office clerk. I thought, as he is in his middle 30s, he would be a compelling protagonist for this anime. Alas, he truly embraces his "slimeliness" from the 1st episode and behaves in a childish friendly way throughout the story. While the overall "cuteness" might be interesting and funny, this anime is nothing like Overlord. Consider a 5 year old, blessed with enormous powers and either not realising that he has them and not using them or just throwing them around. I have no idea how a middle-aged man would just behave like a child, but here you go. Boring.
