    Yeah, in fact I watch at most 2-3 a season.

    Still, pretty uninteresting/simple writing so far honestly and I want to call it out on that and bring it up for discussion. It's rather generic. The only difference is him being a slime, which might soon stop when he can transform into a human.
    At that point, it will also stop being about him "living as a slime" and his human form and slime form will basically melt together - but even now, him being a slime is basically no different from a human with superpowers.... which is again, pretty similar to Ainz being Undead...
    To put it simply, a rather minor trait because Rimuru could've looked like a wimpy human and everyone would've treated him the same way so far.

    And it never really was about him making contact with humans yet, at least I don't remember him declaring that this is his goal (one of the first "creatures" he has seen were humans and he chose to not contact them)- so...that's more or less something that is inevitably going to happen at some point, but what about it?

    Plenty of 'interest' happening. You know that you don't have to watch every anime, right?
    This coming from you was an absolute scream btw.

    Either way, pretty bad advice for me- because I enjoy isekai stories. I just think this has nothing going for it so far that would stand out compared to it's competition. And isekai stories have lots of competition since that's what the lightnovel/anime hype train has been all about in the last few years.
    It's the BattleRoyale-Games of Anime. Especially when it includes the OP character-set.

    They are a weeb's wet dream, but so far I don't see where this is any different from smartphone/deathmarch.

    I mean, lets talk about Ryl's comment here for example

    It's a big difference from the more typical mode of "nerd is great in this tailor made environment."It's a big difference from the more typical mode of "nerd is great in this tailor made environment."

    Great Sage is a super cheat and acknowledged as such. There's also specific advantages that have been granted, with set-ups from the first episode.
    Not only do I think he contradicts himself, because his situation is indeed tailor made (I mean, the very first episode was about how that voice tailored him into something OP because..."luck(?)" and the whole Great Sage stuff smells of a convinient plot tool that will always make something up or develop a new skill when he's stuck), but his Great Sage is hardly different from a game-wiki and thus hardly different from certain other shows I've mentioned already.
    How come this is considered a better/different approach than the other shows for no reason?

    He came to this new world with super abilities.. how is that any different from some gaming nerd who is stuck with his OP maxlevel game character in a world that is loosely based on the game he played.



    Just my opinion on this show so far.
