Lonely thirty seven year old Mikami Satoru is stuck in a dead end job, unhappy with his mundane life, but after dying at the hands of a robber, he awakens to a fresh start in a fantasy realm...as a slime monster. As he acclimates to his goopy new existence, his exploits with the other monsters set off a chain of events that will change his new world forever.
Watchseries; I had been awaiting the anime upon release, the art style is so remarkable!
When I had seen the first episode I had already known it would be a hit!
Just recently I picked up the light-novels as I was very fascinated that lots of things were left out. Anyways the only thing I have noticed that I want to let the other users know this may be a bit selfish but, the ending is way too plain.
You'd think that it's a comedy and action-packed anime but the ending was disappointing. Anyways if you had taken your time to read this thank you!

Meh: Anything not important to the story is glossed over or lacks detail, story is childish
Cons: None
I just watched the first season and enjoyed it from the first episode. The main character is just plain likeable. He's easy to identify with, and root for. As he is a human from "our" world, you imagine acting the same way he does in a foreign fantasy world, and that seems somewhat believable.
The story itself is kind of childish. You know the hero will always win in this way or another, and yet it is fun to watch it happen. So many people just trust each other for no reason, but you take it as part of the story. There's always this wonder of what will happen next, like a daydream where everything goes your way.
The graphics are nothing special, but decent. There's just a little cgi here and there, but it blends in well. The music is nice too. Overall, everything in the story is decent.
In general, some stories always make you want more, other are episodic and can be put down at any time. This one falls in the middle, where there are no real cliffhangers, but you still want to see the overall goal come to fruition.
If pleasant, feel-good anime is your thing, definitely worth the watch.

What a fun show! I was a little skeptical at first, because of convenience of Rimaru's creation, but once you get past that it's just fun. It's like a cross between a video game, dungeons and dragons, and a peppy fun animated series. Combines a lot of my favorite things from anime type shows.

I have to be honest here, I cried when Satoru died on the first episode and then he became a slime to fight off monsters from the other world. Like honestly I hope that's what we like to see our loved ones experience when they leave the world. As well as myself of course lol!
I know I'm getting way too deep here but this anime was very entertaining, funny and even magical. Definitely recommend this anime to Isekai newbies !

It took me 2 years to finally watch this series because, frankly, the title and premise seemed beyond stupid but I am really glad I gave this a chance.
This show made me smile all the way through. It is tightly paced, never a dull moment, full of likeable characters, really great battle scenes and a little slime that manages to make friends with almost everyone while also beeing an (accidental) badass.
I want to keep this as spoiler-free as possible so if you have a chance at viewing this give it a shot for an episode or two, at least until the slime is out of the cave, and you know exactly what you are in for. I even watched and enjoyed the last episode, basically a recap of the first season from a uniquely hilarious character and was fully entertained even though I usually detest clip shows. This show is just a joy to watch.
