Review Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken OVA

Finally, after a grueling wait, it finished airing. For the record, this OVA was released along with a lengthy schedule and also in a weird drip-feeding manner. the second episode was the first one to air, and then a pause that spanned almost 4 months was issued until the second episode finally aired. That's when I was able to move along with my life, and start anticipating the wrap up of a sadly, average screening. Taking away everything that made the parent series so popular and lovable, the massive world-building, the built-up confrontation and the breathing surrounding the world, these two episodes enticed their gaze and providedmanufactory fan service that fed the ominous thirst some of the characters give off. I'm looking at you, Shuna.¨ Two whole episodes of mindless guilty pleasure, what really sales most of the shows from this genre. I would argue that the second episode was the better one, screening the awaited “beach episode”, while the first one had an erotic display of sumo wrestling, going as far as involving with butt-sumo-wrestling which couldn't stop me from thinking about Keijo!!!!!!!!. Trash only leads to trash. Either way; you can't really be harsh on an OVA, it was still fun and enjoyable. A lot of humor and “cultured” sightings. There is a huge audience for that.

TL;DR SCORES: - 7 for Story - 8 for Art - 8 for Sound - 9 for Character - 7 for Enjoyment - 7 for the Overall merit of it. My opinion of Slime much differed from the others. I found it a casual watch, but I also understood why others revered it as an amazing anime of the year it came out on. To me, it was a satisfying grind which much resembled the satisfaction of building up a new home, with funny and likeable characters. Essentially, Slime was Civilization: The Animation. How does the 5 OVA episodes hold up, though? To put it simply, there are 3 story arcs within these5 episodes. Each of them are highly memorable and whilst the first two don't expand on the world all that much, the final one is well-worth the watch, as it highlights the academy that Rimuru had the pleasure of teaching after Shizue's promise. Expect the usual artwork, voice acting, and music. The OVAs are still a blast to watch through - minus the fanservice. I've read a review on here saying it was "pure fanservice", but I beg to differ. These are still watchable even if you're not avid on it, as they will only take place towards the later segments of the first two episodes. The artwork and voice acting are still as fantastic as usual. Slime does not deliver Ufotable means of entertainment in its art, but regardless the unique style of Slime makes a nice contrast from the other anime of our time. Finally, if you're a Sub or Dub viewer, then expect amazing voices from both ends. As a person who saw Slime in both Sub and Dub for certain portions, I can confirm that they both hold their same level of emotion and value. In short: This is the traditional Slime experience. Regardless, if you - like me - thought that Slime was a satisfying watch, then these OVAs are something to consider. They were a fun, short, and sweet ride which expanded on certain characters and introduced new ones. Don't expect any Season 2 buildup, and see these as "Paralouge" missions that appeared midway through the main two arcs of Season 1 for our loveable cast.

It is hard to review this short series, because it is split into two diametrally different parts. And this split is why the series got such a low score. The two halves clash with each other so poorly. On one side, first two episodes of plotless, unfiltered ecchi. On the other, the rest episodes of fun children adventures. Let me repeat it again, pure, wholesome children adventures preceded by porn-lite. Of course thei time gap between emission kind of justifies that. But binging them one after another gives a huge whiplash. If only second part had its own series I'd give it much higher score. But even with it present,I cannot bring myself to rate the goddamn awful first part any higher.

This review is 100% subjective. (Bad English) This anime really represents all I wanted for in an anime,a perfect (for me) combination of Isekai and SoL (maybe for the 1st season) where you can enjoy every seconds watching it, a story where you unites different kind of creatures spesifically monsters (of course I wanted them to be goodlooking:). I really like the anime's concept (game system + isekai), there's so many skill and there isn't any level for the skill's power, which I find simple and enjoyable. Also, I think the rich in diversity of the creatures is the main reason I liked this anime. Iliked how they work together to create a world where different kinds of creature can live happily together. And for this OVA, I think it doesn't move the story so far, it just tell Rimuru's daily life which they skipped it at the 1st season. After all, it's just my personal opinion, thank you for reading:)

Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken OVA (2019-2020) Albeit it has taken a pretty long time to get all these OVA's it is a great marketing tactic before the next season to keep the show fresh in mind. The 5 OVA's are all very enjoyable and meet the expectations as you want without interfering directly with the main story so that season 2 can start where it wants to start. In theory season 2 could time skip and it would still work. The art is a great level that is wonderful on the eyes to see. Although edges of faces and such can be a bit crudeat times it is generally visually spectacular. Especially the user of magic which looks great on screen. The sound continues on with the spectacular SFX used. 'Dragon Buster' by Milim for me as part of the series as a whole remains an example of the effort put into the show. Generally, other sounds have improved slightly too. The characters all continue development as expected from before. It is nice to see more of the ways of the world and progresses that can be made whilst seeing some joyful and hilarious moments from the cast. Milim remains my favourite character for her over the top attitude although most others contribute too. As it is what it is I would recommend watching this if you wanted to see the second season and if you are new watch it after season 1 but all before season 2. 9/10.

An amazing bunch of OVAs. A nice change of pace and then some. The characters and animation are all the same as the first season, so I won't say much about that. However, a few new characters were introduced in these OVAs, but are what you'd expect in the quality of this franchise. I'll be talking about the contents of each OVA the most (without spoilers), as that is the most important part: The first episode is a change of pace from our usual fiasco. This episode is mainly just all fun and games and is used to give our characters more spotlight time. A very entertaining ep,from beginning to end. (Shion and Treyni got me wildin' tho) The second episode is the same case as the first, with it having a clear end goal for the end of the episode. I won't say much about the contents, but I will say this: "If an anime doesn't have this type of episode, then is it really an anime?" (you'll understand). This anime is also just used as spotlight time for our cast. The last three episodes, however, are different than the other two. These episodes have a plot that follows through each episode and has a clear endpoint that is discussed in the third episode. Between the starting and ending points of these episodes, they give the students more time to shine, while broadening their relationships and such. These episodes are where the new characters are introduced as well. Overall, a very good bunch of OVAs. The first two are for dumb fun, which gives us a break from the usual. The last three I kinda wish were part of the first season, as they would fit there more, but it's fine. A good watch after completing S1.

The OVA for That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime is an OVA that consists of two parts. The first two episodes are pure fanservice episodes that have no real relevance or connection to the story. The second two episodes follow immediately after the first season and are about an event that happened while Rimuru was a teacher. These last three episodes are connected to the main anime in the sense that they give more detail about Rimuru as a teacher but there's also other connections with the main story making these episodes worth watching if you're interested in the story of the anime. Thecharacters are all the same as in the anime except for extra teachers and minor characters. The animation, voice acting and sound are all the same as in the anime. Overall the first two episodes are worth watching if you like fanservice but you can just skip them if you don't. The last three episodes have more of a connection to the story making them worth watching for anyone who's interested in the story or just likes the anime.

This OVA starts with the first episode being almost completely fanservice, where Rimuru sets out to make a small beanbag version of himself. Following this, we have another fanservice episode - Rimuru introduces everyone to sumo. The final three episodes are what is important though - because this would be believable to be part of the main season. Rimuru's Class S has a competition against the other classes, with twists and turns along the way. There is essentially a miniature arc just for Class S' adventure and it is HIGHLY enjoyable. Usually, OADs like these have a much worse art style thanthe main series itself, but this does well at staying on the same path, following the art style as if they were part of the main series, as opposed to the Veldora OVA which is slightly worse. Audibly, there is not a great contrast from the main series - it has the same opening and ending themes and keeps the classic background music - it does well at relaxing the soul. Rimuru Tempest (Satoru Mikami) - Died and reincarnated as a slime in another world filled with monsters.

The first OVA episode was pure comedy relief and an episode that adapts yet another real life concept. The last 3 episodes of these OVAs provides us with some insight into what the children are capable of doing with their own abilities, it had great sound effects and further led on to the mystery of a certain character, it builds up the hype to find out its purpose. In comparison to other anime's specials, this one has been made with a focus on still adding progress to Rimuru's nation and personal connections. It stays engaging and we really start to see the a glimpse ofhow one slime will impact every character in its world.

I won't say much about this since it is just an ova. But if you liked the humor or gags in the main show, then this ova actually has the best joke in the entire series. I was laughing so hard when I saw it. The joke made all five eps worth it. If ya like humor, watch this and it will provide an amazing joke for you. Though the content overall is still great even without the joke since it is still the slime isekai after all. Also has some of if not the best fanservice in the series if ya like that.

Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken OVA This makes it a lot easier, as all Ova episodes can practically be accommodated in one rating. The first 2 Ova episodes are mostly humor-oriented and have no relevance to the main story. Among other things, they have a significantly higher fan service share. Especially as you would expect from a "Beach Episode" and "Sumo". Nonetheless, they were at least humorous and the fan service was ironically very balanced. It was actually amusing how both the men and the women got into exactly the same situations. The other 3 Ova episodes do not have great relevance to the main story either, but theirevents are addressed minimally in the first episode of the second season. For the most part, they were average and corresponded to the level of a normal everyday episode in this story. You can watch the Ovas, but if you are not interested in the characters' screen time but in the story, you should skip them.

It's not an entirely pleasant experience. At the beginning, it focuses on a lot of fanservice, and we realize that it will be an OVA without content. However, when the episodes start showing an event at the academy, where the Tempest students will participate, the story becomes more enjoyable and not so much of a waste of time. Unfortunately, since the beginning of this animation has two episodes focused on fanservice, without content, the overall rating is lower than it deserves for its last three episodes. The score is justified by its beginning, not by the academy arc, if only this arc is considered, the score goesto 6
