Okay holy poo poo this is really good. In sumnation:

1. Props to not getting hit by a truck like everyone else, instead dying heroically.
2. The interface was apparently made by SHAFT. There's nothing in that sentence I don't love.
3. Aaaahh oh my god the aesthetic is so coooooool!!! (insert a reaction that doesn't make me sound trite)
4. TSUNDERDRAGON
5. Why do I always write these at 2am.

Oh good, this is indeed an anime adaptation of the slime isekai I was hoping for.

Maybe anime wasn't a mistake :unsmith:
Anime's only a mistake when Gimme tries to make us feel bad about watching and enjoying Isekai. :colbert:

Bakarina is an isekai and is great, accomplishments of a duke's daughter is an isekai and is great, slime isekai is an isekai and is great, saying all isekai is bad is basically being the rando non-anime-watcher saying all anime is bad because there are a bunch of bad shows
Is Re Zero great?

Thanks! I'm already a huge fan of it (and know what's coming up), but I wanted your opinion.
Yes there will be a Season 2 the second OVA is setting up for it.

Re:Zero hasn't gotten a new season yet because:
1. The author has been busy adapting his Webnovel into enough volumes to cover the next arc
2. Studio WhiteFox did not think this would be the massive hit it was and thus had no initial new plans. It's why they had the anime end the way it did.
3. There are now 2.5 OVAs being churned out in anticipation of adapting a second season (although that announcement has not yet arrived).
4. WhiteFox decided to do Goblin Slayer first.

Personally I'm hoping for a Fall 2019 release, split-cour for Arc 4, which is one of the best I've ever read.

Devil Part-Timer will only exist further if Netflix crowdfunds it or something. I don't know why it 'flopped' in Japan. Same for NGNL.
And Overlord should've had a better budget/effort put into it so that it wouldn't have looked like CG garbage at times.

Haruhi kind of kneecapped itself with the endless eight thing which, while ballsy as hell, was boring in excecution
Which was accentuated by Bakemonogatari being the biggest 'gently caress Haruhi's formula' possible when it aired the same summer in 2009.

I don't think so, since it's extremely long, starts to get really boring and repetitive in the middle, and has a pretty anticlimactic ending.

I do hope we get one more season because (WN spoilers) Rimuru becoming a demon lord is probably the high point of the whole thing.
I heard that the first few chapters of the manga/LN were seen as sloggish, yet the anime managed to make the opening episodes fun and charming. I think we're in good hands.

Let me put it this way. I already know what's coming from having read the WN's. If not for that, the cliffhanger from LN4 would be like taking a shot to the balls from an NFL kicker.

I won't say anymore than that given everything that happens in that LN and the one after are MAJOR spoilers and I STRONGLY recommend you don't seek any info on it outside of buying the novels.
The Holy Kingdom will loving pay for this.

I interpreted the end fight as Rimuru being an absolute madman and risking everything on his willpower outmatching Geld's. That isn't supposed to make me wearly that Rimuru nearly lost; its supposed to make Rimuru a Kenshiro-level badass.
