Early 2021 brings us 2 Slime shows at the same time.
Slime Isekai (Tensei Shitara Suraimu Datta Ken) returns for Season 2 in January and Slime Diaries launches in April.
What are you all looking forward to in the shows this winter? New adventures for Rimuru? Intrigue caused by the Demon Lords? New buildings constructed by Goblins?
Is this too much Slime?

wait what?
300 years of slime genocide, until the last survivors get Stockholm syndrome and agree to become your personal-use lolis.
Haha. This may be in store after we all get sick of this series.
That they're going the DanMachi route of 2 shows about the same universe means that - if successful - we're in for a lot of Slime in the near future.
All the big isekai will hopefully attract the shitposters and make other threads more productive.
It's set to air in April.
This is correct. But there will be 2 Slime shows on the air at the same time.
I'm an animeonly but my understanding is that the new Slime show is about Rimaru's sidestory adventures
imagine making s2 and a spinoff instead of s2 and s3
fuck these jap jews
Where's the thread?
s2 part 2 airs in Summer 2021 though, so that is not an issue.
this one is beyond hope so don't use it
That's a lot of slime
I'm excited. I love the slime. I didn't know about Slime Diaries though. Is there a novel spinoff too or is an anime thing?
It's a boring side story about some chick that explores his city to write a blog about it, IIRC.
Ditto. I'm not the biggest isekai guy but was shocked by how much I enjoyed Slime.
MC is not a fag, the anime's S1 was competent and enjoyable, and there's a good balance of world building / political intrigue / characterization to keep the show interesting.
>Is this too much Slime?
I don't think so. I love the series so I would like to see it get adapted in full one day. And if they end up doing that, that means a lot of episodes of Slime.
Indeed. We can hope.
As far as I know, Season 1 + OVAs covers Volumes 1-5, right?
No. Season 1 only covers up until the end of volume 4. I imagine season 2 might also only cover 3 volumes unless they cut a lot of stuff again.
Hyped for slime
Has the manga reached the point where I can read the spinoff mangas without being spoiled?
Gotcha, good to know. How were the LNs converted? Any missing arcs or plot points? Seemed like the last episode was super rushed.
Reading the tea leaves on the business side, it looks like Bandai Namco is the money behind the project. They joined Eight Bit for producing Slime Diaries, my guess is they will bankroll the series and have exclusive merch rights, allowing them to make money long-term via merch.
Barring the series befalling poor anime execution or falling out of fashion with the audience, I'm guessing we're going to see 80-90 episodes minimum a la My Hero Academia or Attack on Titan.
Most of what was cut from the first 4 LN's were political stuff so that they could show off more of the action and end right before the Farmus invasion. I'm not sure how accurate it is but I had heard that they were planning on adapting some of the stuff they cut first thing in the beginning of season 2 which is why I think it'll only end up covering about 3 volumes.
Yeah, I love the world building and politics and stuff. And none of the characters are offputting. Rimuru is the best and in the books( the couple I've read so far) he's even better. I always find it funny when he just doesn't care about Gobta. Gobta is pretty capable though.
Gotcha, that makes sense. Thanks.
I haven't watched the OVA series yet because IIRC the last episode comes out next week.
Ditto with the "Veldora's Diary" episode which I just haven't seen yet.
It would be interesting to see if they put the political stuff into either Season 2 or into Slime Diaries, which I'm guessing takes place concurrent to Season 1.
I've read the slime diaries manga too. That's going to be all slice of life shenanigans.
Wrong, that's a different spin-off. Slime has 3, more or less "canon", spin-offs and 2 AU spin-offs, as well as one crossover short-series.
Nice. Rimuru is great and while the many other characters aren't super distinguished, the ensenble cast is huge and has real gems like Shizu and such. Looking forward to seeing more.
Gobta getting flexed on is also a great gag.
Cool. I'm OK with seeing this. More characterization would definitely be helpful.
As an aside - the only thing that bugs me about the series tbqh is lack of farms. Cities don't spring up overnight and it's wild to believe they have a hunter gatherer society + small city but there's no farms
You literally see some of the cut content in the trailer.

I think the anime left this out, but when the dryad's joined the federation, Rimuru was given access to the treants which bear magical fruit that can keep a person satiated for just 3 days for one fruit. They used these and hunting to feed the massive population they gained when they defeated the orcs until they could set up some farms. The slime diaries might actually show off some of the farming. I think I remember it having a big focus on food and how they developed alternatives to rice and potatoes to feed the populace.
Also, you mustn't forget that any transportation troubles are rendered moot by the presence of the orcs.
Neat. I'm a fan of political intrigue so this looks cool. Thanks for the heads up.
Glad to know my "Where's the food?"-autism will be satiated at some point
Next week for the next OVA? Excellent. They've been pretty good so far and this cliffhanger for the last one has been killing me, even though you know everyone will make it out okay.
