The anime appeared all over my social media timelines. I always thought it was a bit of a joke so I didn’t give it a second thought. However, after much deliberation and recommendations here and there I thought to give it a shot.
Isekai shows can be hit or miss, but That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime focuses on world building and working towards peace. Rimuru (the slime) wants to change how monsters and humans live in a world – the goal is to create a peaceful world of monsters and men.
The slime basically tries to find ways to find his place in this world – after all he once was human only to die and come back as a powerful ball of slime… Like that plot is already so interesting!
You’d think it’d be a dud and have nothing to offer, but it parallels itself with real-world issues like breaking barriers for a perfect world. Talk about socially responsible, in a low-key way. I think I’ll keep watching – I mean a slime saving the entire isekai genre is unreal.
