    Summarized, a human gets reincarnated as a slime in a new fantasy-like universe => the slime has almost godlike-powers and uses that power to create a stable society of different types of monsters.

    This sounds absolutely screwed-up (as it often happens in J-anime) but I admit that I absolutely loved the first 66% of the show (something like adapt + forge alliances + grow + learn + some complications).

    Unluckily for the remaining 33% the story staggered and lost focus (same overall feeling as with "Bleach" if you know what I mean) - not sure what will happen after this first season (if a 2nd one will be produced).

    p.s.: I think that some sound effects of explosions/lightnings/etc... are very unique to this anime.

    My last con critique about the series is about the main character "itself." That is another point of contention with how I viewed this show. Here ...

    "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime" is a consistently beautiful and lively anime that stands out with its excellent pacing. It's rare for an anime to inspire me to read its manga, but this one did, and it even has a Light Novel that the anime enhances remarkably well.

    The main character, Rimuru, is very expressive and a joy to watch. Rimuru's voice acting is perfect, and despite being a genderless slime, its expressions are surprisingly varied. We see how Rimuru impacts the world and interacts with others. While Rimuru is an overpowered protagonist, it isn't the most powerful in the land, adding an interesting dynamic to the story.

    The comedy elements blend seamlessly with the story and characters. Comedy is subjective, but I f...
