This is my 1st time in my 2 years on MAL ever writing a review. And that’s only because I’m so baffled as to how this series has been getting so much praise above other Isekai. Every issue that the anime community has with Isekai all exist, in full force, within Slime.

When this series first started I quite in enjoyed. Slimes are typically low leveled creatures in RPG games. My initial reaction to the title was that this would be a series about a man reincarnating into a fantasy world as one of the weakest creatures. Which would have been immensely interesting to see.

However, what ... we received is an overpowered MC, with no flaws, and is barely breaking a sweat surviving in a new world.

I enjoyed the first few episodes, despite the OP MC. They were very feel go and it was entertaining seeing the MC adjust to this world and meeting the creatures that inhabit it.

It doesn’t take long for this to get old though. Then you realize that the show has no conflict. Technically there is conflict within the story, but I say “no conflict” because MC solves every issue so effortlessly that it might as well not have been a problem to begin with.

I think the thing that annoys me the most is the fact that the main cast have no type of disagreements or grievances was Rimuru. Everyone just has overwhelming love for him and worships him. It’s as if he’s Slime Jesus.

I guess people like the feel good, stress free nature of the series. But You can’t keep a action series running with no tension or struggle between the heroes and villains. And it’s not like the series exceeds in animation, art, and sound. It’s all average on those fronts
