![]() I don't usually like spin-offs, and this is one of those that I don't like. Rimuru shows that anyone can enjoy life in a fantasy world, even if they're just a blue bounching slime. If you wanted to experience a diary adventure mixed with slice of life comedy, then right here is the right place. Tensura Nikki Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken is the type of anime this franchise needed as a brief break before the second half of the main anime airs agian. Really, just watch this with an open mind, and let this anime be what it is. Even when there's drama, it's mostly protrayed as lighthearted comedy, rather than with heavy emotions. There's really minimal conflict (if at all) compared to the main show. As the season changes, we also get to see how the characters spend their times during Winter. And by beach episode, you can expect the girls dress to impress, especially Shion. Nonetheless, this spinoff offers a simple way of storytelling such as community farming, Summer festivals, and of course, the obligatory beach episode. ![]() Rimuru's character interchanges between his human and slime form to give viewers an idea about how he lives his life. Characters such as Gobuta also returns with a cartoonish role that makes him look like a fool at times. Because they retain the same personalities, expect hilarious rivalries on screen such as Shion vs Shuna. Watching the returning cast is also a joyful delight especially for characters such as Shion, Shuna, Milim, Benimaru, among others. And because of that, Rimuru has the respect and affections from many of his friends. He isn't trying to rule his community with an iron fist but instead geninuely cares about his people. But Rimuru still retains the personality of a free spirited character. It's not an easy task but if you're familiar with Rimuru's character, then you'd know that he would often exceed expectations. Every day in Rimuru's life, we get to see how he helps his community. It's here to relax and make the most of its slice of life themes. This show isn't here to tell a complex story after all or make a character study of the cast. The personalities of all the cast remains the same and don't expect any real character development. Rimuru returns as the main protagonist alongside a familiar cast from the original series. ![]() This is Yuuji Haibara's debut as a director and can we just say how adorably charming the spinoff is? By just glancing at the promotional material, you can say the show is easily decorated with a slate of charm and lighthearted humor. That's because Rimuru is back to entertain the audience through his daily adventures. ![]() Facing this concept, you should relax your mind and watch this as a slice of life. And as you can guess, anything can happen in their world that defies the logic of natural order. Every episode itself feels like diary entry bought to life. It tells and shows the daily life of Rimuru like a diary. The English title 'Slime Diaries' sells exactly as the way it sounds. One important concept you should know about Slime Diaries is that it follows a non-linear storytelling format and is advertised more as a fantasy slice of life than a fantasy adventure. If you're a fan of Rimuru and his daily adventures, then prepare to bedazzled again. main TV anime received not only a second season with two parts but also this charming little spinoff. What does that tell you about Tensura Nikki: Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken? Well, it is a spinoff and is based on the TenSura franchise set in the same universe. Being loyal to a brand is part of our DNA and although not everyone follows that mindset, spinoffs usually at the very least must fundamentally meet the expectations of the what it tries to sell. This can apply to any media, whether it's anime, live action movies or TV shows, and even video games. Spinoffs made these days carries a certain level of risk and this is especially true for fans of their favorite franchises.
