no, but it'll be one of the best this season, for sure....there's still the likes of Bunny Girl Senpai and Jojo (the latter of which I'm not really caught up to AT ALL, tbh)

It already is for me if we exclude sequels (I'm expecting JoJo to be better but I still need to catch up). KazeTsuyo has chances to beat it later but in depends on the 2nd cours of both shows.

No. Not even close. Objectively, even in a relatively weak season like this it's pretty standard Isekai fare with nothing that stands out as worthy of memorable merit.

But of course if this exactly what tickles your fancy it will be the best show of the season for you.

i'm liking it slightly better than goblin slayer, but i wouldn't say it's the best this season.

I like it slightly better than goblin slayer just because it has more world building and character development.

It doesn't mean the story is any better or any less cliche. At first I enjoyed slime a LOT more than Goblin Slayer, but as they both progressed, they evened out.

I like Zombieland Saga better than both of these. The only question is whether or not Irozuku ends up blowing my mind by the end of it. Beelzebub could also end up relatively high up on my favorites. It could definitely be better than both of GS and Slime anyways.

Did you want criticism? I thought we were just comparing anime based on what we enjoyed most?

I could criticize this if you want.
dude becomes friends with final boss and eats him. carries him around like a pack mule with none the wiser.

Entire world in disarray because of it. Rest of anime is slime cleaning up after himself without actually coming out and explaining anything to anyone.
Tries to sweep it under the rug as if it's actually good for the story, because why not? What else would we write about? IDK. I doubt I could do any better.
It's damn entertaining, but I for damn sure have my fair share of complaints about the anime. lol.

All depends on what you like.If you like Isekai,then it probably is.If you like others,then maybe not.
For me,having read the LN and the Manga(English),I think it's quite a good adaption,and since I like them,I like this,a lot.
But saying that,I also like Goblin Slayer and Bunny Girl Senpai,Goblin Slayer because I read the LN and the Manga,and Bunny Girl simply on the strength of the show so far,so asking if this or that will be AOTS is a bit numb,as everyone has their own preferences.
Personally,i think it has the potential to be AOTS,based on the anime so far,but we'll see,could go so far downhill from here it'd be subterranean,though I doubt that.

I highly doubt that Veldora is the strongest being the show's universe. That would defeat the purpose of giving Rimuru enemies to fight. I haven't read the source material, but I'm pretty sure on this one. And I have no idea what you're even talking about with the rest of your comment.

The rest of the show has been "as a result of Veldora's absence"

The fighting between the goblins and wolves, etc. All of that shit going on around the slime is cuz he ate that damned dragon.

Sure it could have been written in another way, but this was the way it is written.

I don't expect it to be any good for this reason. It will probably end up cutting short with a half-assed resolution that is just thrown together.

It will just be more of the same. More monsters that are warring over dominance of the territory with Veldora's absence. More isekai slime breaking up fights and naming naive monsters.

It's just a means to an end. It's ironic, yes, but only to us. I mean the whole world building monster harem is damn cool, I just wish there was more interactions in how and why.
The slime is the only one that knows what he's doing with Veldora, It's annoying knowing all he has to do is show a dominance of power(AS HE DOES ANYWAYS). Why doesn't he come out and admit he ate Veldora? I think everyone would respect him more for it. T.T;

The problem is that the formula has been established as a means to an end without any clear resolution in site. The theme is very shallow so to speak so that I can predict that it won't have any true climax.

Well, unless he actually does what I've been wanting him to do from the beginning... I guess that would kind of make up for a lot, but i seriously doubt that will end up happening. It's unlikely that he'll ever mention Veldora or release him for the rest of the series. I expect the rest of the show to be about the slime showing dominance and naming his subjects.

Even the Demon Lord isekai anime had a climax last season. But this one? I expect not. IDK why this anime is getting so much hype...especially considering the one last season was just as good if not better. Probably something to do with the ecchi(negative points for tastelessness), which is ironic cuz when I heard about slime, I naturally thought it was going to be an ecchi.

Saying that the story will have no resolution is an assumption, and even if you were correct for the anime specifically, that would be expected because it's an adaptation of an ongoing manga/LN. It probably wouldn't even be a good thing if the anime DID have a resolution because it would be an anime original ending, which are almost always bad, and it would destroy any hopes for a S2.

Again, WHY is it flaw of the show that he's keeping the situation with Veldora a secret? How would him disclosing this change anything?

These two criticisms are based on expectations and assumptions, not on facts and what has actually been shown and told to the audience.

This last one is just nonsense because it barely has any ecchi, definitely not as much as other isekai anime, and the ecchi it does have is really lowkey and not in your face whatsoever.

So there are a lot of assumptions going on here, some true, some not. It would certainly be more interesting if Veldora's diary was included as a 2 minute post-credits sequence. It would give a lot of context as to what Veldora is even doing and what his thoughts are about Rimuru and his actions. It also explains the hows and whys of "Rimuru's" power.

"As a result of Veldora's absence" was the premise until the Orc Lord arc started last episode. Last episode, and even more-so this episode, gave a lot of information about what is actually happening in the world. In case you missed it, demon lords are a thing, and they barely give two shits about Veldora (cough cough). They are acting on their own, and they always have if Shizue's backstory wasn't enough to illustrate that point.

---

Now, as for whether this is the best show of the season? This series works better in paper format due to its intent and pacing. The animation and sound quality has been very disappointing so far. As much as I like this series, no, I do not believe this is the best series this season. I don't believe that honor goes to Goblin Slayer, SSSS Gridman, SAO, Karakuri Circus, or Bunny Girl either. Despite me not really liking the series, from a more objective point of view that honor probably goes to Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru. Despite some animation flaws it is a very pretty series and has a very relatable cast. From a very subjective point of view I look forward to Beelzebub every week because Azazel is a cuddly bear.

Having such blatant formulas as a means to an end being clearly evident to the viewers is a flaw in and of itself... but then again it is isekai, so who cares.

Like I said, it's just annoying that the slime keeps it swept under the rug solely because it's part of the formula. It's like the slime knows he's in an anime, and it's off-putting. I mean, yeah he knows he's a reincarnation, but he doesn't have to keep it secret that he's housing Veldora. He could use that as an advantage, but apparently the author thinks it's more interesting for the story if he kept it to himself and displayed his own power.
It doesn't even try to suspend any disbelief in the process. It's not relatable at all. In fact, the one relatable thing about the human character that he WANTED resolved isn't being addressed. All he really wanted in his next life was a social life with women because he was disappointed about dying a virgin at 38 or whatever. Can forget that ever happening. lol. Yeah maybe he'll have some monster harem, but he'll still be a virgin at this rate.
Most of the beauty of isekai comes with being able to so easily self-insert in fantastical worlds. However, I feel like the self-insert was ruined. too much is going unaddressed and slime knows the formula to the anime. Annoying.

no love for irozuku or zombie saga? I love Beelzebub too, definitely one of my favorites. As for Run with the wind, I surprisingly find tsurune more entertaining out of the two. Irozuku is the "prettiest" anime this season without a doubt. Maybe you don't have Amazon prime? :P

It is the best show of the season, in my humble opinion.

I watched a lot of isekai and harems in the past, but as the time went on, I become tired of the genre eventually and just couldn't watch those anymore.

And here I am, watching the isekai (and harem) once again.

Why? Is it really better than others? Objectively, no, it is not better, and it is not even trying to be better, and perhaps that is what I really like about this show. It's not trying. Anime that either try to be better or have potential to be better end up being much worse. Case and point Goblin Slayer, which is technically not a harem and not an isekai, but ends up being same if not worse than them

Signature removed. It was too good for this cruel world.

Beelzebub LOL!! It is trash. Dropped it after 1 episode. ANother shitty slice of life with no story. It also rated low in MAL (I don't care that much about MAL score, but the point is that this anime is not liked by many people)

Irozuku is ok. Not best aniem of this season or even close

Zombieland Saga is just mediocre idol compedy (episode 8 was good though)

Yagate Kimi ni Naru is likely to be the anime of the season.
Sono Toki, Kanojo wa is a somewhat close contender while Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken, Irozuku Sekai no Ashita kara and Kaze ga Tsuyoku Fuiteiru are currently on par on the third place. I'm excluding JoJo for apparent reasons. But there are also another 6 or so shows that are above average which makes this one of the best seasons in recent years.

I'm wondering how you expect me to reply to this. You surely don't expect me to value what you have to say.

Don't think you thought this out well enough.

You talk trash on the genres of 2 of them, and use a MAL score to justify it. ...lol
then say show is "ok" .. ok. thanks for your input.

Beelzebub LOL!! It is trash. Dropped it after 1 episode. ANother shitty slice of life with no story. It also rated low in MAL (I don't care that much about MAL score, but the point is that this anime is not liked by many people)

Irozuku is ok. Not best aniem of this season or even close

Zombieland Saga is just mediocre idol compedy (episode 8 was good though)

You talk trash on the genres of 2 of them, and use a MAL score to justify it. ...lol
then say show is "ok" .. ok. thanks for your input.

I mentioned that I don't care about MAL score. In fact I think Beelzebub is insanely overrated. The score should be like 5 or below

I hate Beelzebub because it boring and it us JUst another slice of life cute girls doing cute things with no story at all. Noting good or special about it. It could have been better if had some echii scene (that would not make it best anime in season, but it just make watchable). With all the good anime in this season that have better plot, character and stuff, you say Beelzebub ?! seriously ? Are you sure you watched the other anime in this season ?!

It would be easier for me to mention what I'm not watching.. Out of the first 30 that's listed on MAL.. there's like 2.

Beelzebub is really good moe. Ecchi would ruin it. It's an absolutely adorable show. Also, I love slice of life, it is my favorite genre along with comedy.

You're biased. Chill.

This isekai anime series managed to get an 8+ score (and growing) at a time where people hate on isekai just for being isekai (probably the reason why so few users added the series to their PTW list before the series started). But now even vocal isekai haters start to like this series.

And in Japan this series might be the first LN that managed to get into the TOP10 sales list (by series) with BOTH LN and its manga adaptation. I don't remember any other LN series ever managing to do that, but feel free to correct me if I am wrong, but even if there was a precedent, it would probably be a very tiny amount.

On top of that the anime adaptates the equivalent of 1 LN volume per 8 episodes, a much better pacing than the usual 4 episodes per LN volume adaptations which have to cut out various things.

So objectively speaking this series is doing great. The problem with the term "best" is that people have different preferences about genres, so it's really impossible to really determine this. No matter how high quality a fantasy series is, there will always be people who just don't like any series from the fantasy genre, period. Slime doesn't have any noticable quality issues though. Most criticism I see is either outright wrong, buzzword filled non-sense, or just people voicing that Slime doesn't meet their personal preferences, but I hardly see any objective complains about the quality of the series.

Currently Bunny senpai is my favourite but Slime is a really close second and I'm becoming a bigger fan every episode. If it maintains it's quality it'll be my favourite this season for sure.

As for some other shows I've seen, Goblin Slayer is mediocre with some occasional dark moments but it's fun for what it is. Index 3 is a rushed mess that's an insult to the novels.
I plan to watch SOA s3 eventually(still didn't complete 2nd season) and I have no intention of watching the new season of Tokyo Ghoul because I know it'll be trash.

What's the difference? I thought best equals most enjoyment. Or are you guys talking about highest score on MAL when you say best.

Didn't get to watch Bunny Girl Senpai yet, as ever since Monogatari (which many people seem to compare Bunny Girl Senpai with) I kind of avoid this "kind" of series, because it just doesn't really appeal to me. But the protagonist for Bunny Girl Senpai seems to be better than Ararararararagi (, who I personally find quite boring and is the reason I don't feel like continueing Monogatari), from what I hear, so that might make me watch it, if he can carry that series together with the other characters.

But frankly the comparison between the two series for "Fall 2018" might not be a good idea, because Bunny Girl Senpai is one-cour and Slime is two-cour and even an adaptation whose first cour ending will be halfway into an ongoing arc, so it will probably lack the "climatic finale" that the one-cour series will have, making it a rather unfair comparison.

This is pretty much exactly I also think, except I already dropped Tokyo Ghoul before :re even existed and I just didn't get to watch Index 3 yet, though judging from what you and others say I will probably treat it as more of a slide show that shows the cool fights animated. It will probably be more enjoyable that way, unless the fight scenes are also bad.

Goblin Slayer I delayed until 5 or so episodes were out and watched that in one go and didn't watch any episodes since. Maybe I'll just wait for it to finish airing at this point, we'll see. But up to where I watch I agree completely with you.

With SAO, I was in the same boat as you until recently, as I put it on hold somewhere near the end of the Death Gun/GGO arc and didn't even bother watching the GGO spin-off (and probably never will), but I finished watching SAO II all the way to the end recently (it's quite good actually, as it makes Asuna the protagonist in the last arc and turns Kirito into a supporting cast for some time) and also watched the movie "Ordinal Scale", which is supposedly also neccesary to watch for some things in Alicization to make sense, or so I head. But I have yet to watch even a single episode of Alicisation.

Well obviously it's subjective. Most people don't have the time to check out more than 5 anime a season. One can filter out the ones that are likely to be bad based on the MAL score, obviously it's not absolute but generally a show rated above 8 is much better than a show rated below 7.
In addition people have certain genres they like and dislike and they can somewhat tell if a show is for them just by seeing the trailer so I think even watching 5 shows a season is enough to make a conclusion.
