After a street stabbing kills him, a Japanese office worker wakes in a fantasy world as a blue slime. He takes the name Rimuru Tempest, befriends a dragon sealed in a cave, and helps a goblin village.
Starring Tomoaki Maeno, Yoshitsugu Matsuoka
Viewers tired of grim fantasy will settle in fast, because Rimuru plays even his own death for laughs and keeps up a running commentary the whole way. He would rather talk a fight out than start one. In one scene he swallows the dragon Veldora's prison to study the barrier, while Veldora pushes against it from inside him.
Season one builds steadily from a gentle opening; later seasons spend more time on politics and negotiation, which slows the pace.
