ACTUALLY IT IS VERY GOOD THAT THE SHOW IS BAD AND ANYONE WHO DOESN'T REALIZE WHY THAT'S GOOD IS AN IDIOT. JUST ENJOY THE BAD SHOW INSTEAD OF THINKING.
It did make me laugh how much they were telegraphing the elves were going to be totally different from what he expected, but then nope, they really are just boobyelves

Yeah, if you're looking for high stakes or deep interfactional conflict, this isn't really that story. I mean, you do get that way later on, but with how far this show plans to go we're probably only going to see one example and even that is resolved in a pretty tidy manner.

That said, it helps to keep in mind that most of the people Rimuru's incorporated so far are considered subhuman monsters by the majority of the world. It goes some way to explaining why everything is so copacetic at this stage when you remember that, from their perspective, a benevolent deity showed up on their doorstep, told them they're deserving of basic dignity, and then helped them build a thriving community. Plenty of people in our world would jump at that deal.

Yes, it's all idyllic bordering on naive, but in 2018 I could really do with a story where almost everyone gets along and everything mostly works out for the best.

This is Everything Went Better Than Expected, the Anime.

There's a ton of gif potential with the dwarf guys nodding their heads and scratching their beards while the hot girls fight over Rimuru.

It’s nice having a main character that you don’t hate and they actually justified that everyone in the series thinks he’s the poo poo.

This show doesn't really run on levels, but predator still works, yes.

They have full-on power level numbers later on.

I dunno, it's a series where nothing bad ever happens to anyone and that's kinda why it's popular, I think.

Hopefully the second season will be paced better than the first.

I think the pacing is why it is so popular though. That and the fact that basically nothing bad ever happens to anyone.
