Delaying this post to the middle of Spring 2019 inclines me to brevity. (God willing, I shall be able to give my dear readers a proper mid-season review!) A good number of you may have already forgotten some of what you watched by now! Well, this post concerns what I thought best of Winter 2019, and I hope that some of your own favorites are below.
5) That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime ★★★ 1/2
I love the characters in this anime, but this half of the season lacks the tension of the first. Much is made of Rimiru being overpowered, but the first season offered us more real stakes and real hardship. One feels like the second part should be retitled “The Daily Life of a Slime” or something else as benign.
At any rate, I love the worldbuilding and characters enough to look forward to the next season. The preview offered at the end gives me hope of some good conflict to come.
