And there's a trick: he can't tell anyone about it, of course, if he does, he kills that person instantaneously (he should have done it to his enemies lol, unless they're beasts and can't comprehend language). This boy main character is trapped in a new world that he deems interesting, until he finds out he has no power whatsoever except dyeing and resetting the game from the closest setpoint, a survival game in which he is utterly defenceless, his only weapon: not giving up if one can. It's sickening and vile but also you can't stop watching it. It has a wade variety of sweet characters that live in a world of combined fascination and shit, dunno about the fascination part but there's so much shit here that it engulfs pretty much anyone and everyone. It's probably the most game-like out of the game type anime but it feels the least like that when you watch. Hah, it's possibly at the heart of this anime's creation. PS: Has anyone played Diablo? Now that was an awesome game with all sorts of uber-super-duper demons. Although it's hard to compare them, except Goblin Slayer and SAO which are good too, the rest are all excellent. So update: That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime = The Rising of The Shield Hero > Log Horizon = Overlord > Goblin Slayer > SAO. Absolutely worth the recommendations people give it. The 2nd season surpasses the 1st and it's not finished yet! I'm a put it on par with the best game anime I have seen thus far. The fights are cool, the story is as good as one could hope for in a game, and for once humanity is not at the center of things (even less than in Overlord), if anything, they are a hindrance and bad at that too, mostly no more than mere pawns. It's cute, it's well drawn, it's awesome at times, it's well written. It's as well as one could expect such a game world derived from 3-4 games like War of Warcraft, Diablo, Dungeons and Dragons and who knows what else. I am up to date, towards the end of the 2nd season and I really can't say it can be better. That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime 8.5/10 - Much more than cute, meanwhile the cute has gotten a real kick in the but. hack or what's it's name yet, I tried before just couldn't find it. The Rising of The Shield Hero > Log Horizon > Overlord > Goblin Slayer > SAO. And when they do finally get dragged into a difficult quest of goblin slaying, not one admits how stupid they've been and how demanding goblins can be in large numbers and opened field.
There is one thing I found particularly upsetting: upper heroes thinking quests for trolls, thieves and dragons are more important because they are harder to defeat and give better rewards, when they don't do half the damage to human communities combined as goblins do alone.
He's not The Mandalorian, forced by creed! Why does the main hero always have to be wanted by all the girls even in this case where he seldom shows his face? I've much preferred if he would have been somewhat disfigured so with a good reason to wear the helmet protection nearly at all times. It's probably at the same quality of Sword Art Online 1st season, could've been epic, not the case, still nice. It's definitely under The Rising of The Shield Hero and slightly under Log Horizon, being of the same sort of RPG game anime. I'm about to start Goblin Slayer, I'm hearing good things about it. I like how anime these days cut straight to the chase/cheese, I hate when they prolong the introductions like in the so called "big series/top anime". They have a sort of bankai called domain expansion. Jujutsu Kaisen 8.5/10 - Quite the cool costumer this anime. Although this anime's message is real: when it comes down to survival, it's hard to blame someone of doing whatever it takes to survive. It's not bad, but not all that good either.
Shiki - 7/10 - An anime with shiki = vampires.
