This review will contain Spoilers for the show
A good isekai which sadly turns into a chore later on :v
SPOILER AHEAD STORY:
Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken Which I will be reffering to as Slime is a show which started off strong. The characters seemed interesting the way the world was building built around us was also something quite impressive. I remember being incredibly impressed when I realised that the whole first episode was basically just in a cave talking to a Tsundere Dragon. It felt like so much has happened.
To summarise the plot: A lonely loser dies. Turns into a slime in another world. Gains powers. Makes a village. Gains more powers. Helps everyone due to his OP powers.
Though sadly watching this show turned more into a chore. This is due to the fact that we can always predict what happens at every encounter.
Everytime an enemy appears we KNOW that at first Rimurus friends/allies WILL try to defeat the monster themselves fail and then Rimuru will step in and either eat them or turn them into allies. Every time.
Later on we see a diversion from this formula but its a bit too late. Rimuru tries to save the kids that Shizue taught. This arc was more character building and led up to a set up for a Season 2. What seems to be an Evil Spirit goes into one of the kids. Most likely Rimuru will have to deal with that later on.

CHARACTERS:
Slime has many interesting and cool characters.
A lot of them just appear to advance the plot and build up the world more while others serve as punching bags for enemies.
Rimuru is the main a 37 year old loser who died and appeared in this world as a slime. He gained many powers throughout the series and now is the most OP character in the whole entirity of that Universe. Rimuru tries his best to be as diplomatic as possible but when the need arises he does pull off some OP moves and eats the enemy. He also has a Great Sage in his mind which helps him analyze situations and materials.
As mentioned before there are also characters which just serve a purpose of being punching bags. Which basically consists of every other character that is allied with Rimuru. As I mentioned before everyone tries to defeat an enemy but fails forcing Rimuru to step in and win. There are too many characters to individualy talk about.

ART/ANIMATION:
Slimes Animation is quite dandy not bad but also nothing too good. The combat scenes felt smooth and fluid which made the viewing experience a little bit more enjoyable which is always a positive The art style too is quite good. At time can be a bit too simplistic but can also deliver with great detailed and colourful scenes.
As shown in the Gif below this is the kind of quality we can see from a lot of the combat found in this series. Well choreographed scenes with juicy details.

MUSIC:
Not gonna lie...I forgot the OST for Slime.
So lets move on to OPs and EDs.
They dont sound bad they sound quite decent. They deliver quite a large amount of Hype when watching the series which is nice in my opinion.
The same idea applies to the EDs I liked the OPs more since they delivered much more Hype to the series but both were decent as mentioned before.

OVERALL OPINION:
Soooo overall opinion time.
Slime is an Isekai which started off quite good with amazing character and world building but become quite boring and repetetive after a while due to the predictable outcomes of every encounter.
