I just learned that this series is extremely popular among Japanese boomers. What the fuck...

everyone wants just die and live happy 2nd life without being forced to work 10 hours a day for shit life
it's even worse in the west with niggers

Holy shit slime is beating titan?! That's impressive. No wonder they actually animated it well

>The entire premise is that the MC is a Slime
>MC becomes human around ep. 8

Yeah that's the normie development I was expecting.

To be honest I was only watching this to see a slime. How often does Rimuru take human shape from this point on?

Pretty often but not to spoil anything but it gets a little.... lovecraftian later on

So tentacle doujins next comiket?

>Pretty often

God fucking damn it.

>but it gets a little.... lovecraftian later on

God FUCKING damn it. This is the second isekai in a row that drops the ball around episode 7. On to the next show then.

it seems the real issue here is that you are too young to understand why boomers like this in the first place.

It only becomes lovecraftian in that it calls out to various things from lovecraft's work, in the same way that it calls out to various mythological figures.

Milim... Now THAT'S a character. My pal Sakazaki has a daughter like her.

I swear I've seen this exact thread at least twice before. At first I believed it, but now I'm guessing that your source was your own rectum.

Honestly once he goes human he spends a lot of time as a human for a couple episodes, but then starts going back to slime form more and more.

Probably. It explains why DQ is big over there.

did they fuck?

Getting through that episode was a chore

Is he more slime than human?

Waiting for the Millim spinoff.

>How many mangas try to cram shit in as fast as possible
They have no choice. Chances are that your manga will be axed long before you can finish your world building.

adult adore youthness, stability, and comfortable environment. it's paternal instinct.if you still overly obsessed in dark, grim, "MaTurE" shows, you are in fact still stuck in teenage rebellion phase. Majority cute things being seinen is not for no reasons.

>anime where the male protagonist tells people to calm down and listen to him
>popular among older men
>also gets a young and sexy body
Makes sense to me.

>Do old men in Japan really pick up generic isekai and read them because
they need an escape after working 150 hours a week and isekai provides that in an easy-to digest form with familiar DQ premise.

This is a show where a mediocre human being suddenly gets given godmode to fuck around in an isekai, while never failing whenever the easy way out is taken.

Any boomer would like this shit

Old men in japan don't even have time to look past the title to grab their daily escape literature from the shelf on their way to their 13 hours shift.

>idolshit still dominating
When will nips get over this meme?

So all the hunter Chad posters are little brats then?

When you get older it gets harder to accept a fantasy world as real, which is why shows like Log Horizon and Slime spend so much time and effort establishing how daily life in the world functions.

Personally I like it because the whole "building your own society with different monsters" reminds me of Divequest which is one of those things that has left an empty hole in my heart.

But I quit right after the MC stopped being a slime so what do I know?

Dont let these anons fool you. He looks like he really enjoys his slime form. Only has to stay human for the last arc because he was going incognito on the city. I think he is slime more often than human.

Why wouldn’t they...?

Then I'll watch it until that point and I'm going to view his human form as Poochie.

>8.34 on MAL

I might take a look on it.

watch the first cour then read the manga if still interested, the quality drops and a lot gets axed from then on

3 entire mini-arcs have been cut out in the anime. You find them in manga chapters 40-46, or first half of LN vol. 4.

William Shatner loves MLP and baneposting too, he's an exception in a lot of ways.

How can you say that when it gave a great introduction to best Kufufufu-Buttler?

>generic
Take your dogshit opinion and shove it up your fucking arse.

Nico nico nkill me pls

imagine someone looking at those character designs and calling them generic

Fuck that autistic underage faggot and his pseudo-criticisms. "Generic" doesn't mean bad, it just indicates that OP has disgustingly shit taste. All anime is "generic" as it's a type of audiovisual media.

He doesn't elaborate on why he thinks its generic. It just "is" and

It's just a buzzword for these fucking retards.

Do zoomers not get that genres are suppose to be generic?

nope, they will lose their shit over their favorite shonen and then call this shit generic

>shonen is generic
not sure what you are talking about

It's a demographic actually.

user those characters look basically identical.

The most simple refutation for any case where someone claims a series is "generic":

"Show me five other series that are almost identical to this, including NOT JUST THE SETTING, but also storyline characters, themes/motives, genres, etc. If you can't then you are full of shit, if you can then I MIGHT at least consider the possibility of taking your claim seriously."

not him, retard kun. It's a classification. All anime is generic.

I do that all the time for recommendations outside of /wsr/

fuck just show me one where the main cast is composed of like five separate races and an androgynous protagonist

Boomers have disposable income too, user.

what is slam dunk doing there in 2017?

It got a re-release or something, appearently. And the list is for 2018.

>b-but isekai....

Generic doesn't mean carbon copy, you autist. There are specific tropes isekai hit consistently, depending on country of origin and flavor. Japan does Dragon Quest fantasy worlds, harem antics, LitRPG stat screens, the MC picking up skills out of their ass, adventurers guilds, summons to another world and Japanese shit in another world being the best thing since sliced bread.

Like Slime shares the "salaryman who gets reincarnated as a kind of dark entity" with YS (imperialist war maniac loli) and Overlord (lich-king). There's also the skelly one I can't remember the name of. Salarymen/twenty-something NEETs getting isekai'd is as much of a thing as high school NEETs, look back to stuff like Outbreak Company.

The comfy, slice of life style of killing time is a staple from Mushoku Tensei to Konosuba. Challenging antagonists based off the Seven Deadly Sins is a thing in Re:Zero. Meme reincarnation is a thing from swords to wands to vending machines.

literally every genre does this. Shonen does this. Moe does this.

That's just the basic, overall setting and I think that no one denies that they are very alike between syousetsu ni narou isekai. But that doesn't makeall the series generic, unless you unironically believe that stuff like storyline, characters, themes/motiva, etc. don't matter.

You could've just said:
>There's humans in it so it's generic
and it wouldn't change your shitty argument.

You've got to look past the repetition of tropes and start to look at how they are executed. Otherwise once you have seen enough tropes everything will be "generic"

This. If people whine so much about things being "the same" or "lacking originality" then any work of fiction that includes humans would be "unoriginal garbage" by that logic.

Yes, they have taste. Unlike this board

So does the demon also end up becoming a friend? Please don't tell me that he also ends up becoming a friend

People need to understand that "bland" is just an opinion and says more about the critic than the work. And "generic" isn't a real criticism. "Generic" does not mean good/bad, all anime are generic.

I actually do see it this way and find it weird that others don't. Ancient man carved lionpeople and imagined gods with 4 faces; they didn't just cast boring humans over and over.

>Kuro is summoned and given a new name by Rimuru
user, you already have your answer.

Good grief there really is no tension or consequences in this story

>implying there isn't conflict
>implying that a human couldn't curb stomp Rimuru at his current stage
user, there are so many people that could kill rimuru without even lifting a finger.

And I will keep thinking that until proven otherwise
Yes I heard about that, humans invades and slaughter his village. Then he becomes a demon lord and resurrects his village and then becomes friends with the humans, I also heard about him becoming some kind of time looping god so don't you try to fool me.

why can't you nugget brained fuckers admit that you have fun watching a generic series? If you enjoy this shit then whatever but just admit that it pulls all of the isekai tropes possible.

if it takes more than 8 episodes to supply some kind of stakes I'm already gone. There's slow burn and buildup and then there's "oh shit we forgot to add a plot". Maybe it's great, but it's not for me. Frankly I grew to hate it in the time I spent with it.

>power level super-powered dark side horeshit that started off as something completely different
togashi you are a genius of shonen let me suck your cock!!!

>becomes friends with the humans
That does not happen though. Well, at least not before a 15k strong human army gets completely wiped out, getting their souls eaten after which the hostile country in question goes thorough "regime change" by Rimuru installing his own puppet king (Youmu) there, that is.

that's an amazing strawman but you're not wrong really. It's all a matter of degrees for me. If something is completely derivative and brings nothing new, and then it's not even at least as good as other fiction that uses the same elements, then I gotta question the point of sticking with it.

I was refering to the typical whining like "OMG adventurer guild with ranks! DROPPED!" because that's appearently already enough to some people for whatever reason.
Isekai generally start off quite similar to each other but become different the further it gets. Unfortunately the anime adaptations for isekai usually only shows the early parts, which is why they appear "generic", I guess.

A reprint with fancy new covers was published.

Fuck these niggers. Originality doesn't make something good/bad. When you have an entertaining formula you stick with it or tweak it. Doesn't matter if i drink coca cola once or a 1000 times, it will still taste great. I wonder if these retards complain about that.

Most fags on Yea Forums watch generic CGDCTs for much comfy. How is this any different?

Animation must be all unoriginal garbage then because it has a frame rate. Stoop being a sad fucking retard who cant appreciate good works.

Yea like sora yori and yurucamp.

Isekai hate is a meme idiot.

Just because someone comes up with some new shit, that doesn't mean it's automatically good or better than some preexisting thing/formula.

He switches between both. Slime when he wants to be comfy, human form when he wants to put on appearances. His body naturally relaxes as a slime, but he is very comfortable in his human form so he swaps constantly.

Remember to praise her daily.
