>has already reached insane power levels

Are we ready for our slime to fight the merchant council, /a/?

Why does he still look like a girl

I hate isekais with overpowered protagonists that barely break a sweat when fighting bad guys, well except for isekai ojiisan but that was a self aware show
>>
>>286498632
Because traps sell

>>286498632
Because he enjoys pleasuring men

>>286498660
So you hate a solid half of isekai

>>286498588
The pacing of this show is a bit fast for me and focuses on city/festival planning and inter-territory disputes, which is "eh". I'd rather they just have a good time fucking around.
>>
>>286498632
because he got his body shape from eating a girl. If rimuru wanted to look like a boy he'd have to eat a guy, so he'd have to eat a penis and that's gay.
>>
>>286501677
You'd think he would have absorbed at least one of those numerous people he murdered.

>>286498660
This is what shounenshit conditioning does to you. You become an underdog tensiongger whose only stimulus in life is the exact literally same dynamic of man vs man conflict and "struggling against adversity" in the same exact fashion with only aesthetic differences in flavor every single time over and over again.
It made you unable to appreciate any other types of conflict or other sources of excitement than "Oh no, MC IS ABOUT TO DIE FOR THE 89289323298th time! WHAT WILL HE DO?! WHOOOA! SO EXCITING!"
Well in your case you can also apparently still appreciate "ironic self-aware comedy" so you are not the worst case scenario, not just because of that, but also because zero-attention-spam tick-toggers that don't even watch or read anything anymore and only watch summary-shorts or """watch""" the anime adaptation at 2x speed while doing something entirely different are the true absolute lowest. Still, the limitation itself is apparent in you.

Pretty much. I only like self aware or comfy isekais. It's hard to take the concept seriously that's why tryhard isekais like moshitku tensei or sword fart online fall flat for me, which coincidentally also have gary stu protagonists.

He absorbed my penis' cum countless times though.

>>286498632
IIRC, he can shapeshift to a more masculine form if he really wants. He just doesn't bother since everyone is used to his "normal" form.

He is obviously masculine, he looks adnrogynous but is a competent leader and hetero
>>286501739
murdered? cluster bombing enemy army who attacked and killed your civilians is not mourder
killing surrendering soldiers would be a war crime, but this was a unique situation, it was the only way to save his companies killed by them

It's good you knew what the problem was.

He can technically age up and masculinize/feminize the form anyway he wants. But the kid-girl form kind of just became the default and he just stuck with it.

Why are men like this? Wanting to be cute little girls?

This so much

yes

>>286501932
Your isekaislop does not have any other sort of conflicts either. That's the problem. It is blasted for lack of tension in battles because the only part of he world that does not already bends yourself to comfort and validate MC is the villains he has to beat in those battles.
>>
>>286509034
I get the feeling he prefers to be underestimated.

>I dont understand those who complain
I liked the first season, but I dropped it around the Clayman arc iirc (End of S2;P2 I think?). I can't remember my exact complaints, but I think one was that the anime felt too contrived; like things were too perfectly set up to go in a way that benefits the MC. Due to this, I couldn't find myself able to respect his accomplishments, and this lead to the events that happened feeling shallow.
>>
>>286510598
It's the opposite. You got so used to the world bending over backwards to obstruct the MC and have the MC be in constant hard mode all the time to make things ""exciting"" that a world that is just neutral suddenly seems like it's bending over backwards in favor of the MC instead.
You also got so used to MCs being status-quo defenders who are reactive and only make a move to obstruct antagonists that you can't even recognize the MC being proactive and disruptive, creating conflicts by doing so.

Hinata barely killed him. Also if Falmuth army wasn't retarded enough to tightly group up, knowning that enemy may have a magical eqivalent of artillery/bombs and have not communication between army units, they would win.

what you dont like watching some androgynous jap salaryman self-insert break the world record several times over in the category for getting your dicked sucked by as many forgettable mob characters as possible in a single episode while you struggle to stay awake?
>>
>>286511364
>>286513497
And that's a big advantage of this anime; moments like these are satisfying every time.
Also whats wrong with self insert?
Author of the LN wrote that he based Rimuru on the boss he would like to have, so it can be also "your boss/commander insert".
>>
I really wish I liked the show. Finishing season 1 was such a slog.
MC is such a cute plapable brat, it's such a waste.
>>
>>286513497
If that were the case, Tensura would have countless competitors that do some or all of the same things people "accuse" Tensura of, yet in reality all those others either flop, barely stay afloat as mediocre existences or pivot into some other direction to find success while Tensura keeps being the indisputable #1 best-selling isekai. And the CEOs of both Kodansha and Bandai are huge fans of the series themselves. So the accusations don't quite add up now, do they?
>>
>>286513497
People unironically hate tensura?

>>286513831
>Japanese have better taste than most of anons
Many such cases

I think it's less about nips vs international audience and more about who the target audience is. Tensura seems disliked or at least not very popular not just on 4chan but also with the likes of 2ch. Places like plebbit have some fans of Tensura but they are the 2nd-lowest bottom of the barrel among fans that just lust after Rimuru, with the only group that's even worse being the jewtube randos who just like it due to those fake powerscaling videos where all content is just made-up randomly.
The real audience is silent, but it's not just average normalfags either. It's a niché of at least above-average earning rich individuals, often managers of all levels for whom it seems to hit just the right spots. This can be concluded from sales data and the fact that it has like ~10 spin-offs by now which only makes sense with an audience that has an upper ceiling in terms of pure quantity, but who also have a lot of money to turn per person compared to the average series. I mean what other explanation is there for such a huge amount of spin-offs? It's the only way the handling of the franchise makes sense.
