Sinopse:
In role-playing games, slimes are usually the easiest monster to kill, and because of that, they yield few experience points. But what would happen if you live long enough to keep defeating them for 300 years?
After many years of being a corporate slave, Azusa Aizawa abruptly passes away due to severe exhaustion. Seemingly headed for the afterlife, she meets a goddess who bestows her with immortality alongside a peaceful life in another world. There, Azusa enjoys her days tending to her farm, protecting the nearby village, and killing about 25 slimes per day—a routine that continues for at least three centuries.
However, this rather monotonous cycle begins to change when Azusa suddenly finds out that she has reached level 99—the maximum possible level—from slimes alone. Despite desperately trying to hide this fact in fear of ending her slow life, rumors of her strength spread nevertheless. Soon enough, various people throughout the continent, like the dragon Laika and the elf Halkara, start to appear at her doorstep—some seeking a battle, others asking for her assistance. Meeting friends and acquaintances who soon become family, Azusa finds she can live a life far better with others than when she was alone.

How do I even start with this review... Simply to put it in a few words, I don't like this anime. It's not because I hate this anime, but because there's nothing I like here. Hear me out. There's nothing really going in this anime. And that frustrates me because of how locked the perspective and the whole premise of this show is. Something like this can easily be fit within a 12 minutes cour season. Not a full 24 minutes cour season. To put it simply, this anime is just a huge waste of time. There's really no point in this anime existing. What's the pointhere? There's no conflict, no plot moving forward, nor any important plot threads that puts together a coherent story. Nothing.
It's just a boring story about a boring protagonist and her boring life.
Slow life, more like painfully tedious life. Again, I've said this before in some of my reviews, but stories need to have a reason to exist, otherwise what's the point of it existing? Sure, you can make unique stories with that mindset, but who cares if it doesn't follow the basic story-telling.
There's a reason why cliche stories still works to this day, because of how they twist the formula, but still keeping it the same.
But this anime is a SOL, so if I say it to this anime, won't it apply to all SOL anime as well?
Well, no actually. Some of SOL anime yes, but most of them have a reason to exist.
Whether they actually tell a story with moral lessons with the disguise of being SOL anime (Mushishi, etch.), or SOL anime that is romance-based. Of course, these two are two of the some examples, and even then, the anime would still suck if it isn't executed well.
Well, moving on. The characters. Oh boy, oh boy. I really don't like how one-dimensional the characters are. They are basically just a set of archetypes, so it's not really that interesting to watch them. Honestly, even my dumb dogs have more personality than all of these cardboard characters. There's basically no personality in the cast nor the side characters because they all basically agree to one another with few exceptions.
The animation is decent. It's just real cutesy and moe sh*t. The animation is really decent at best, so I don't have anything to say about it.
The music is also decent. I find the ost to be super lacking, but the ed is surprisingly decent. The opening though, I can't put my fingers to it, but I don't like it. It's not my cup of tea.
Overall, just a bad anime without any purpose to exist.

Slimes. Everyone knows what it is. They are more often than not, one of the first creatures one will encounter in video games of fantasy worlds, bar none. As such, they are easily defeated. It’s only when one faces more than a blob of slime that they can get to be a problem, because they attack in groups or in tandem with other types of monsters. In essence, simes find great power in numbers. So why does one kill them if they are too stupid to mean any real ill will? They’re not just holders of experience and loot. Some kill them because they reproduceextremely quickly. They are capable of asexual reproduction once every few minutes, and it is often used as a means of self defense (as can be seen in Secret of Mana). Otherwise, they just kind of go and do it as they please. A single slime can create hundreds of clones a day, and those clones can create further clones, and so on, and so forth.
There are mandates in most fantasy worlds to kill slimes on sight, as to help keep their populations down. It is also ill-advised to keep one as a pet, regardless of how insanely cute they may be. Without the right training, a pet slime can grow to be a big problem very quickly. There is no known way to “neuter” them; they just keep reproducing willy-nilly until they are killed. But if slimes are good, these prove that they can be noble, hardworking creatures if they absolutely have to.
In the meanwhile, one will keep coming across their brethren on the battlefield and slicing open their gooey centers for gold and EXP (mostly that). But from this point forward, one can do so knowing everything about the little creature he/she is slaying. Know that he/she must kill them to further their adventuring career and to help the environment! It is cruel, but it is the way of virtual nature.
Now take a look at Slime 300. Yet another Syosetu work, which means that it's no doubt an Isekai. But to see someone who has consciously died in real life, only to get resurrected in another world just to kill slimes for 300 years as means of protection for her village brethren, that's some insane "God"-like feature that one can only dream of grinding the monotonous way just to be OP. And all that hinges on 27-year-old Azusa Aizawa, overworked with stress to the point of humanly death, to get rebirthed and killing slimes as an immortal, and dubbed the "Witch of the Highlands" due to her expertise on medicinal knowledge. Talk about OP in the most generic and literal sense, though I'd believe that only a handful of gamers actually did MAX their levels this way. You're a genius if you could just bear grinding and levelling up with just slimes alone. I tip off my Fedora hats to you.
The basis of Slime 300 is just what it is: a fantasy, comedic, slice-of-life CGDCT. What, you only realize now that the entire character cast consists of only females? Man, you're slow on the uptake. That said though, Azusa "the Witch of the Highlands" Aizawa has had quite the objective to just grind slimes for 300 years for boredom's sake until level MAX, so much so that as low-key as Azusa wished she'd live the stress-free life, people come knocking on the insanely powerful girl's doorsteps instead. From challenging her as a sorta "Final Boss" treatment to recruitment because she is a great asset to the group, Azusa is constantly bombarded from mere humans, to even monsters and creatures. Atta girl.
One by one, Azusa's "family" gets bigger after the numerous amount of attempts to sink or reel her in, and her adoptions are as follows. Minor spoilers be warned, but honestly it's no biggie:
- Firstly, the shape-shifting red dragon Laika. Like many challengers who've come and failed at the same time, Laika is no different in this department. Getting thumped and whomped by the Witch of the Highlands is embarrassing enough, even for a dragon species, and if that's not enough, she carelessly destroys Azusa's house in the process. Seeing as though that's her fault in her first place, Laika makes amends to help repair her house, and at the same time, requests to be the Witch's apprentice/pupil. Family no. 1 adopted.
- Secondly, the slime spirit girls: the turquoise Falfa and lime-green Shalsha. Having had their brethren killed for 300 years without a cinch, the 2 slime spirit girls are noticeably sad, and one of them hatches a plan to get revenge on Azusa, which again, like Laika before her apprenticeship, fails to do so. The acknowledgement that other brethren slimes that doesn't originate from them are allowable to be exterminated, and Azusa adopts the slime daughters, which Falfa appropriately called Azusa their "mother". Family No. 2 and 3 adopted.
- Thirdly, the nonsensical elf apothecary Halkara. She is easily the funniest character of the family due to her abrupt mood swings, aside from having a busty build of a body. In the real world, think of those insurance agents who go out of their way to chase people into purchasing their products, and Halkara is the exact same: marketing her products to people around her and not giving two Fs about it...until she manages to piss off someone (that we'll comeback to soon) and seeking for protection when threatened. The mushroom-knowing but scatterbrained and accident-prone elf you are, all the blame's on you Halkara. Her purpose to stick around in the family is so until her business can get moving again. Family No. 4 adopted.
- Fourth, the demon girl Beezlebub. Having been naively bought into Halkara's nonsene of a product, the side-effects caught onto her, and as such for compensation, she seeks revenge against this scatterbrain of a character, to which under someone's protection, deems that she is a potential enemy. As expected, it does not take too long for the misunderstanding to get fleshed out, and with the constant challenges that racked up more losses overtime, Beezlebub is stuck into following Azusa's growing family as well...and still purchasing Halkara's product, because that's a thing. Family No. 5 adopted.
- Fifth, the blue dragon Flatorte. Even within the dragons themselves, different beings will have different temperaments, and that's definitely the case with both her and Laika. Going out of hand to gate-crash a wedding between red dragons, this feud is unstoppable, until both Azusa and Beezlebub had to intervene by attacking Flatorte's brethren blue dragons and eventually making peace within both red and blue dragons, much to the chagrin of the latter, which stems from her discipline problems (that slowly overtime gets better). Family No. 6 adopted.
- Last but not least: Sixth, the ghost girl Rosalie. Initially, she was hampering Halkara's business, so much so that it scared workers off, and so Azusa and her indirect family has to solve this issue directly on-site. It was tough NGL, to get the restless ghost out of her comfort zone and relocate her to Azusa's house, which, you've guessed it: Rosalie eventually becomes part of the family, completing the family relations as adoption No. 7.
Phew...this is a lot to take in for a growing budding family of 8 girls, but we're not done yet.
Under Beezlebub's command are 2 girls: Fatla and Vania, both are Leviathan women, and the former is the older sister-cum-secretary. Despite very much looking like whales that stem from the myth that they are water creatures, they are in fact air dwellers, employed for living transportation with a resort on their backs. This is common in the Demon Realm that serves Beezlebub and privileged guests to their designated places, and both sisters have to work in tandem with one resting and one working as transport. Rounding this up with the Demon King: a loli Pecora, whom is like PriConne's Illya in every way with the natural kid-cum-mature adult transformation. The small, petite girl that can be interacted with informally and cheerfully, she can be a viable threat when she goes all-in. The other females (the shy immortal "Witch of the Cave" Eno, music singer almiraj ministrel Kuku) that pop by once in a while in the show aren't limited to Azusa and her extended adopted family, but are like stopgaps in the slice-of-life, comedic fantasy of a journey that just keeps the ball rolling forward into enjoyable episodic adventures. Seriously though, this is a definite CGDCT trait through and through.
If anything, this resembles a kids type of show in every way with the light-coloured pastels of visuals, and damn, does Revoroot do such a good job replicating the source material with its kiddy-like themes. Animation might not be much, but who cares when the visuals are so brightly coloured that it looks dazzling to the eye. Even that trait trickles down to the light-hearted OST with Aoi Yuuki and Azumi Waki's happy-go-lucky OP/ED songs, and need I say much that Aoi Yuuki has had quite the recent MC explosion of a reputation from "So I'm a Spider, So What?" lead MC spider Kumoko to this show, being yet another lead MC witch Azusa Aizawa. You can't deny that you can instantly recognize Aoi Yuuki's voice now.
While this may be a generic fantasy Isekai through and through, it's kiddy themes are the anime's strongest suit. Pair that with the diverse cast of female characters with different personalities, and you have the makings of a relaxing chill of a lovely Isekai to watch. So why not come in, breathe in and breathe out a sigh of relief, and just gander at a show that doesn't require too much from your brain? On-point fantasy comedy, with the slice-of-life tones, this show knows what it's doing, and it does to a very good extent while being miidly OK at best. Still though, a stress reliver of a show.
khaosklub
it's an isekai in name only. aside from the first episode and mention of reincarnation in the last episode, the isekai aspect of the show has no bearing on it. The first episode is a snore, as it explains her being isekai'd and sets things up for the show to actually begin. The ONLY way her being reincarnated in this world factors in is as a motivation for her wanting to live an easy laid back life. So, while this is technically an isekai, I wouldn't consider it one. Our main character reincarnates and the story starts after a 300 year time skip of ourimmortal heroine living in that world. she's lived in that world several times longer than she lived her life as a japanese woman. I can barely remember what life was like 10 years ago, so she really isn't thinking of japan 300 years later. This world is her world far more than her previous life at this point. The isekai part serves no purpose aside from putting it in the genre, it should just be a story about an immortal witch who wishes to live a peaceful life.
It's really just a slice of life show set in a fantasy world. It's just a show about cute girls doing wholesome and cute things. it tries to be funny, but the comedy falls flat most of the time. it has some ecchi, but that too sort of falls flat. it's really just a relaxing anime about cuteness. There are some battles too, as the main character is overpowered. Character interactions are this shows strongest point, but don't go in expecting too much.
Kuten
In the vast sea of isekais about defeating demon lords and getting trapped in a game world emerges Slime 300, an isekai that's all about living a peaceful life... and slaying slimes. Slimes are what's known to be the most common and well, less rewarding monsters to kill in RPG games. However, this anime takes the entire weak concept of slimes to the spotlight and makes the MC slaughter them for 300 years only to achieve the max level. Think that's a good idea? Well, we'll see. [TL;DR] Characters: 7/10 Art and Animation: 5/10 Music and Sounds: 5/10 Story: 6/10 Enjoyment: 10/10 Overall: 6.6 (7)[Characters 7/10]
Let's start with what builds the entire story, the characters. Although the characters are nothing special and are basically what you will expect in an isekai anime such as elves, slimes, witches and dragons, they somehow managed to be interesting enough and sure contributed a lot to the comedy aspects of the anime. They know who they are, they have their own backstory, and all have a unique personality. The only downside about the characters is their lack of character development. I have only seen development in 1 or 2 characters but they are too minor and happens in the exact same episode the character was introduced in, which makes people overlook it easily.
SPOILERS AHEAD:
There's also a "curse" for the characters in Slime 300. If you see a new character get introduced, you should be expecting it to have some sort of cute girl form. From fearsome dragons to bouncy slimes, if it becomes somewhat relevant to the main plot of the story, it has a 101% chance to transform into a cute girl for no reason. I personally don't find this annoying but I do find it weird.
SPOILER END.
[Art and Animation 5/10]
The art in Slime 300 is surely not the best and not the worst either, it's kind of in the middle. Sometimes the art can very well be a piece of art, but sometimes it can also be a piece of trash. The animators tend to not shade the characters in dark areas a lot which creates an effect of weirdness when half of the screen is properly shaded while the other half of it is just coloured in a single colour. There are also times when the character heights are messed up. For example in episode 9, Shalsha appeared only a few centimeters shorter than Halkara for some time when she's meant to be a lot shorter than that. They are also known to occasionally reuse animations. "Wait, what's wrong with reusing animations? It's a smart way to cut down the budget!" Well, I do think so as well, but the fact that they forget to remove the mouth animation of the characters in some reused animations when they're not talking is just a bit more than simply reusing animations to cut down the budget. Other than those, the art in Slime 300 is not really that bad, and the cutesy art style fits the anime. The background images and visual effects look amazingly appealing and I won't be embarrassed to put them on as my wallpaper. They've shown potential to create smooth camera movements without the use of CGI such as in episode 6 when Rosalie is marvelling the night sky. Although the art can certainly be bad at times with maybe a few episodes as exceptions, it wouldn't effect the watching experience much if you just bear with it.
[Music and Sounds 5/10]
Probably the only thing I dislike about this anime is the mass reuse of soundtracks. They have this isekai-themed soundtrack that they use a lot in scenes where the characters hang out together or do something dumb, which I don't actually mind because who has the money to produce so many soundtracks for the same purpose anyways? BUT what I care about is that they literally used this funny soundtrack for inappropriate scenes such as action scenes that felt intense. Think that's actually acceptable since they don't stay long and aren't that important? Well, what if I tell you they also used that exact soundtrack for touching moments (at least they could've been), which completely ruined the atmosphere? There are still parts where the studio did a great job in this category though, such as that literally almost all of the sound effects are dubbed by the legend, Yuuki Aoi. Instead of hearing sparkling sound effects, you hear Yuuki saying "kira kira~". I personally found this approach very fun and unique since not many anime I know does this and it matches the comedic atmosphere of this anime. Slime 300 also has beautiful OP, ED and insert songs (TINY SPOILER: *cough* Episode 10 was a treat. *cough*) and they became the only songs on my Spring 2021 anisong playlist. I've been listening to them for 300 minutes and emptied out my phone battery. :)
[Story 6/10]
The story starts off with Aizawa Azusa suddenly dying for overwork, which is a serious problem in the society right now. The story then proceeds to let us feel severe déjà vu by using the common isekai plot of meeting an entity that reincarnates the MC with some sort of OP ability, in this case being the ability to become immortal. Alright, OP ability acquired, what's next? Forming an army to save the world? Nope. Azusa decides to just live like any other normal person and killing an average of 25 slimes every day as a source of income. 25 x 365 x 300 x (2 + 2) = Lv 99. She maxed out her level after 300 years and here's where the real story starts. The story in Slime 300 is pretty simple and straight forward, it is what it is and doesn't have any hidden meanings behind it. This can be both a good thing and bad thing depending on what kind of entertainment you are looking for. A new problem arises almost every episode, and the story is all about Azusa and the "family" solving them and putting the problems into a close. Besides getting reincarnated into a game world by a goddess with some OP ability, the rest of the story is quite original and interesting enough to keep me watching without urging to watch something else. However the sequence of most episodes are very predictable (much like a lot of other animes I guess):
A new problem arises -> Azusa summons Beelzebub into the bathtub? -> Tracks down the troublemaker -> Troublemaker transforms into a girl -> Troublemaker apologizes -> Troublemaker either disappears for a few episodes before reappearing or joins the family -> Yay, ED plays!
Yes, that's exactly how the original "family" of 4 expanded into huge numbers. If you look at the episode list, you might realize that the first few episode names all start with "Along came the blah blah blah", "A blah blah blah appeared!", etc. and I think you know why now.
[Enjoyment 10/10]
"What? Why a perfect score?" Well, it's because this anime brought me the most laughs this season and made me feel better and recover during sad times in the 3 months of it airing. Don't get me wrong, even though I gave this anime an overall score of 7 and pointed out a lot of its downsides, it was the only anime this season that made me feel hyped for the next episode every week. Even during rewatching a few episodes to confirm my statements in this review, it still made me laugh a lot in the process, although I have already seen it all and know what is going to happen next. It might not have good character writing, it might not have good art, it might not have a good plot, but it does a great job in keeping the viewers entertained and relaxed.
[Overall 7/10]
Admit it, no one watches this to get excited or to feel severe emotions (maybe except 1 episode *cough*). We only watch it to relax and get a few laughs. If you're looking for a soothing slice of life comedy, I would recommend to at least give the first few episodes a try as Slime 300 does a great job in that case. Despite having a lot of downfalls, it is still a great series to spend your free time with. If this anime does get a Season 2, I sincerely hope that it will receive better treatment in production.
[Conclusion]
Animes are all filled with gore and violence recently, and Slime 300 is for you to take a break from them.
Thanks for reading my first non-preliminary review and I hope this review was helpful to you. Happy anime watching!

I don't know if there if any way that I could list all of the great things about this show. I enjoyed it immensely. I can understand why some people wouldn't like it, simply because I always have take into account those that don't like the style and simplicity. It's not going to challenge you, but it will soothe you in a lot of different ways. Here are all the things that I found great about it as I can think of, off the top of my head. If you watch this, I hope you can find them too. The visuals are amazing. The color is maintainedthroughout.
Transitions are wonderful.
It's wholesome x10.
The gradual build to all of the main characters, which reaches a large amount is handled individually and shows up by every episode. The balance of characters is just about perfect.
The dub was spot on. Kudos to the actors that got all of the emotions and expressions and reactions perfectly. That goes across the board from adults down to children.
Like every other gag character, the one here was no exception to my annoyance, though she's still fits a pretty good gap and was a nice way to accent all of the regularness (yep, not a word, but I went with it because it's worth it that's when I was recording this.)
There was consistent attention to detail to the little things that you don't realize is being done. For example, there is a ghost that has blue flames that hang over her shoulders. If she is behind a couple of people and only one flame is showing and she flies just enough for the other shoulder to show, the flame shows as well.
This was mostly a two-part, one episode show, though there are two that take up the whole time slot.
I needed this is a breather from some of the things I have been watch and I made a wonderful choice; simple dumb luck paid off. I've added two more 10/10 shows lately I'm truly tickled. I'm ready to go back to something more like what I usually see.
As mentioned, 10/10. I slap a very hard recommend on this.

If you are reading this, please do not be dissuade with the rating of the Series it is by no means a terrible watch. Just like the quote say "Do not judge a book by it's cover". That being said, before proceeding to watch this Anime, I would like to emphasize that if you are looking for an adrenaline fueled Isekai I would recommend looking for something else. That being said, if you really want to watch this Anime and want a relaxing/passive/auto flight (or what ever you want to call it) Isekai genre I would definitely recommend this Series. I've Been Killing Slimes for 300Years and Maxed Out My Level emphasizes on the "Slow Life" feel throughout the show, meaning it gives the viewers a relaxing feel where you just want to retire in a Country-side, only that it's Fantasy-based. It has an OP FMC and yes it contains the traditional Isekai formula that most Isekai Anime that was recently released. That being said, it gives the viewers an opportunity in visualizing through Azusa what it's like to retire in place where one can relax and think without any worries, which in my opinion is the Strong point of the show.
Sometimes in life, you just want to relax and escape from the harsh reality that this life gives. This anime offers you that experience.

Edit: The actual rating of this is a 5, my opinions on this have changed after dropping the second season. Reason: I can't deal with the high pitched voices and bright colors anymore, sorry. Slime 300 is a bit misleading because it does the bare minimum to consider itself as an isekai. This can be seen by the start of the story, which only asserts itself as such before moving on and quickly forgetting about it. The setup involves an ephebophiliac deity who takes pity on a woman named Azusa who has dedicated her life solely towards her job. In fact, she dedicated so much time toher job that she just collapsed then and there due to the amount of both physical and mental stress she underwent. She took the literal saying of “don’t work yourself to death” and collapsed with it. Afterwards, the deity asks the now incorporeal soul if she has any wishes, to which she expresses her desire to be both youthful and immortal. And so, her wish is granted, and past life as an office worker which has been cut short, can be reshaped to form an idealized life free from stress… or so she thought.
In her newfound slow life (in her words), she is spawned into a world that allows her to live the life she pleases. Now reincarnated as a witch, she moves into a large unoccupied house with many rooms. Given that she isn’t quite adjusted to her new slow life yet, she passes the time by making it a routine to kill slimes. Upon killing a slime, a handful of blue crystals would drop, which leads her to inquire about the currency in the city’s adventurer’s guild. To be a bit misleading again and to play around with the semantics, it’s not as much of a killing slimes anime because it’s more akin to a found family CGDCT. Semantically, “I have” would suggest that the slimes have already been killed. However, the story has to be set up in order for the killing to happen, so it strays away from the brief mention, even for a brief moment. The thing is, the story addresses this matter in a really uninspiring manner because it just skips over everything. Obviously, not all 300 years can be shown, but a little bit of scenery or a small compilation of time skips could’ve helped make the story feel more immersive. The story is set up in a way similar to that one kid in school that would claim they did 100 push-ups but only claimed to do so because they started at 97. Regardless, Azusa gets caught up on killing slimes and unknowingly maxes out her level, hence the title.
After the time skip, she possesses both a great amount of powers (or perks) and respect from anyone around her, much like any other generic isekai protagonist. Being a witch, most of these perks pertain to witchcraft, with the most notable of these (besides immortality) being elemental powers resembling witchcraft. She was so caught up in her work that she neglected checking her progress with the adventurers guild for 300 years. There's no lore reason as to why Azusa couldn't check for level for over 300 years, but it at least adds to the overall absurdity of the plot itself. The world seems like a time capsule because it has remained practically unchanged for all 300 years. The only notable event that occurred throughout the three centuries was a plague, which is historically appropriate for a medieval-esque European village. Given Azusa’s reputation in the village, her quest for a slow and easy life slowly diminishes. As the series progresses, more and more otherworldly beings “take an interest” in her and join her family. Parenthood is appealing to a lot of people, but its practically the antithesis to a slow and easy life. Basically, she got set up.
Azusa as a character mostly ties into the story’s theme of “don’t work too hard and take it easy.” She’s also a humble person that doesn't like to brag, even though she can be a bit assertive here and there. Most of her character focuses on finding a balance between work and leisure. Given the tragedy in her previous life, she encourages others to not work too hard as well. This can be seen by her very hospitable nature, which makes her question the possibility of starting a “found family” under the pretense of acquiring both companionship and an easier life. The theme is very simple, and the repetition of said theme could come of as grating to some, especially in episode 1. However, the series has a few "mini themes" in the later episodes (ex. episode 10 "don't be a sellout").
***Episode 1 spoilers***
The first character Azusa meets, Laika, reinforces the main theme. Much like those before her, she attempts to challenge Azusa in an attempt to make a statement that she is the strongest in the highlands after catching word of a spilled secret. The only difference between her attempt at it and other measly humans is the most notable: she’s a red dragon. Azusa attempts to dismiss this challenge under the pretense that it was simply a rumor and that she is simply seeking a slow life. However, Laika’s juvenile and prideful attitude makes her insistent in the face of hesitancy, which makes the unwilling Azusa give in. As the battle commences, Laika is shown to naturally possess the ability to breathe fire in her dragon form. Additionally, her size would prove that a good deal of agility would be needed in order to defeat her. Considering the witch’s newfound powers and humble attitude, she handles this in a timely manner. After playing defense for a bit, combining the elements would prove to be successful. Afterwards, Laika’s dizziness causes her to collapse on Azusa’s house, which rightfully pisses her off. Laika, scared by her confrontational tone, pledges to repay her by helping rebuild her home. To her surprise, she shows up the following day in human form. The endeavor of reconstructing her house is a time consuming process, and without Azusa’s instructions to prevent Laika from exhausting herself, it wouldn’t have been done. Upon completion, she transforms into a dutiful maid to help Azusa ease into her new slow life. The message of not overworking oneself to death is transmitted from disciple to pupil.
***End of spoilers***
There are six other characters that join the family, but they’re either cute or forgettable. As of now, a well needed second season is in the works to hopefully flesh out the characters, since a good chunk of them join Azusa’s family halfway into the series. Despite the basic description provided earlier, I do have a favorite out of the seven, and that favorite would be Flatorte. Much like Laika, she too is a dragon. The most notable differentiator distinction that is found between the two would be Flatorte’s blue color and tail that pops up in her human form. In relation to the color blue, she also has weird hair loops that are reminiscent of Satania’s from Gabriel Dropout. Nevertheless, it is her personality that makes her stands out from the rest of the girls, mostly because she’s the most brash of the bunch. Much like Laika, she joins the family after losing a battle towards Azusa, the only difference is that a moral code was broken. Rather than be dishonorable, she pledges her oath towards Azusa under the ruse of fulfilling any of her orders. Given that Azusa is more adjusted to her new life as the series progresses, she finds a loophole and instructs Flatorte to live in any way she pleases. She mostly exists to compete for Azusa’s attention with Laika.
The audiovisuals are good because it aligns with the series’ intentions to be a cute moe thingy. Since its purpose is to be cute, the character designs must be well designed. Well, the series excels in this regard, since the character designs are Slime 300’s most commendable aspect. Excluding the slime twins who have similar character designs for obvious reasons, the rest have a distinct style that sets them apart from each other. Were it not for Azusa’s design, I probably wouldn't have picked up the series to begin with. The thing is, her design is occasionally swapped out with something more formal depending on the situation she finds herself in, with the only downside being the loss of a hat. Additionally, the backgrounds use a lot of soft colors that help the characters pop out. The only downside to the art itself is the dip in quality when it uses a bunch of different camera angles, because it makes the outlines vary in thickness. The animation also has a few dips in quality depending on the scenery, but it’s not as notable as its overall decency.
In conclusion, Slime 300 is a series that succeeds due to its simple premise and character designs. As the genre suggests, it’s an isekai by its name, but the premise of it is almost alluded to which can be seen by the brief mention of it at the beginning. Afterwards, it’s not mentioned at all and only serves as a motivator for change for the main character and her seeming subordinates. The message of a slow life is simple as its told, but after the first episode, there are a few more messages that tie into possibly making one’s life easier. The characters tie into the themes, Azusa even more so, which is why her character could be considered thematic. Not to suggest that her character role is limited to conveying these themes, because while it is important, the series does a good job of making her character seem human, which can be seen by a great deal of both her egotism towards herself and compassion for the people she cares for. The artwork, which uses soft colors stands out because the series understands it’s the main appeal. Overall, the series is a bit simple, and more-so juvenile since it’s the basic moe slice-of-life shtick, but it works wonderfully based on what the series is trying to achieve.
Truthfully, it's one of those shows that can be watched in the background, so it might help with the laundry.

my reason is simple, because i enjoy this after watching battle / gore anime like Goblin Slayer, and of course i will rewatch it again in the future, [ Story : 6/10 ] well, no chara progression, and start at max level ofc it would be boring, but it's also enjoyable especially when all the chara is cute xD, [ Art : 8/10 ] well, the art also good, not that much far-off from the manga, [ Sound : 8/10 ]the OP and ED also good, tbh i really like that non-sense blabbering on the first part of opening xD ( maybe it's just mytaste :x ), [ Chara : 8/10 ] Halkara and Vania sisters are best waifu <3, [ Enjoyment : 10/10 ] really enjoy this while playing other games, also good with tea and snacks xD usually watching this while playing GBF or offline RPG games, really enjoyable :), [ Overall : 8/10 ] good anime, recommend to watch, especially after working / if you have nothing to watch, this review is based on what i do daily, and i really think this anime is enjoyable :)

If you want to watch an "easy going" anime, a slice of life that takes place in a fantasy world with cute characters, you should give a try to Slime Taoshite ! Don't watch this for its isekai tag since it's almost non-existent, it's litteraly mentionned once in the very first minute of the anime, and afterwards, the reincarnation of the MC doesn't bring anything to the plot, except a few comic reliefs here and there. I've seen some bad reviews that criticise this anime for its lack of plot/character development, but this feels unfair. I mean, I could understand this can be seen asa flaw for "thriller" animes, ones like death note for instance where strategy has a big place in the plot and the viewer expects some nuanced characters in order to truly understand their motivations. But come on, if you've watched the trailer or read the synopsis for Slime Taoshite, the anime doesn't promise that kind of things at all. As a matter of fact, this show is only trying to depict the life of the MC in a fantasy world where she'll encounter new friends and each episode/chapter will narrate a small "adventure" in their everyday life, which is always resolved by the end of the episode.
Now I'm not saying this anime is enjoyable for everyone, it's a specitic type of anime, one where the plot won't have high stakes even in this fantasy world, and it's okay if that doesn't appeal to you, but all those reviews giving low grades to the anime because it was too "plain" feel innapropriate.
All in all, Iv'e enjoyed watching Slime Taoshite, I rate it 8 out of 10 because while being a nice watch, some episodes did feel a bit slow at times, or some scenes/jokes were too cliché, this is clearly not a master piece, but it remains entertaining.
If this anime sounds interesting to you, you can watch the first ( or 2 ) episodes : if you enjoyed them, you'll like the whole season, otherwise, you should probably drop because chances are you won't enjoy the rest of the season.

I'm not sure if the anime is this bad or if I'm experiencing whiplash because I watched 3 amazing movies in a row. Sadly, I think it's the former. Slime 300 is categorized as a slice of life out of necessity. It's too unfunny to be a comedy. There's no conflict, no drama, no plot so there's no chance of it being anything else. I hate calling it a slice of life too because in reality, it's a slice of nothing. The protagonist is immortal, the strongest, loved by everyone. She doesn't do much, doesn't want to and doesn't have to. The show isn't suspenseful, complex,funny nor entertaining. You get to watch an assortment of anime girls do really boring and uninteresting things for 12 episodes. Each one of them feels like it lasts forever because NOTHING of note happens.
I know that in slice of life, nothing important happens either. But that's not what I mean. I actually do enjoy slice of life when done well. However, slice of life anime usually has unimportant but entertaining events. I don't want them to save the world, but I want them to do something I care about. Sadly, I cared about nothing here.
If you wanna watch anime girls do really boring things, go ahead. Otherwise, skip this.

(little spoiler on the setting/first episode) It's a small, unpretentious anime. It's an Isekai/slice of life: a woman (probably in her thirties) dies from overwork in a Japanese company, she is reincarnated, and since God has a soft spot for her, she (God is a woman, indeed) grants her immortality in her next life and reincarnates her in a quiet corner because our heroine's desire is to live peacefully forever. She arrives in a classic fantasy world, takes possession of a house seemingly left there by God just next to a village, and decides to do the bare minimum each day to live comfortably: so every dayshe kills about thirty slimes, the weak monster of the area, thus earning magic stones exchangeable for money.
And there you go, she does this for 300 years, and 300 years later she realizes she has reached the maximum level and that she is actually super powerful. From then on, as the news spreads, her peaceful life will be nothing but a memory.
The anime is quite pleasant and very relaxing: the concept is that the heroine will gradually gather around her, little by little, a family, and it's super cute.
Apart from that, it's the classic slice of life/fantasy, but in a cute version. Neither more nor less.
I'd rate the anime between 7 and 8/10. In 12 episodes, I enjoyed it, if there were more, it might have become a bit heavy because it's not very original after all.

One of my favorite trash isekai animes. I thought for sure it would be a three and out. But the MC, and her little herd of side characters she picks up along the way, wormed their way into my heart. Why they made this an isekai, instead of just a straight up fantasy, is beyond me. Other than some exec mandated they start this off by pandering to that crowd. But frankly those kind of fans are likely to be severely disappointed and bored here. Sure, our heroine is OP as hell, but it's not like she is blasting her way across the countryside. Shesaves her power for when it is really needed. She can hardly be considered ferocious. She's actually kind of meek. But to balance that out, she is wise as well. Strong enough to be kind.
This is much more an SoL than anything else. Not a slice of YOUR kind of life, but a slice of THEIR kind of life is certain. The MC, and her tribe, have to face a number of challenges that they don't blast their way through. Although they could, if need be. One of the best things about this series is, they are smart enough to not need to, unless really pressed.
So we have good characters and good writing to support them. The art work is on the cute side. Not terribly impressive but easy enough on the eye. The animation is a little above average for a SoL, but will likely disappoint the usual isekai/shonen hordes. I found the voice acting quite pleasing and the whole cast lends to making the series successful.
So while this is nowhere near high art, it certainly will tickle the itch for something laidback and comfortable, with some gentle amusement. fI I were to grade the series, I'd give it 85/100 for a nice solid B. Give this a wave of your magic wand.
BTW. I hear there will be a 2nd season coming soon. I am looking forward to it.

THIS REVIEW MAY CONTAIN SPOILERS! Story: 8/10 If you want to watch a film with the title as same as other isekai films but just 2 or 3 fight scenes, "I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level" is the best film for you. The story is just about the life of the girl with her "family", but the special thing about the story is about the lives of all the characters. The minus point of the film is the story moves so fast. Special is ep 9, this episode is about Falfa turned into slime and she couldn't turn into a human.Her family tried to make her into a human. But near the end of the film, I couldn't see how Falfa turned into a human, just the fight between Azusa and Beelzebub.
Art: 8/10
The art looks good, as same as other slice of life films. But the fight scene doesn't make me enjoy it. The art is so simple and "friendly". It is so boring.
Sound:7/10
I don't know where is Laika's voice when she turns to the dragon. Laika's voice is the same when she turns into a human and dragon. Maybe the studio doesn't have enough money.
Character: 9/10
The characters are built well, special is the seiyuu. They could show us the personalities of all the characters.
Enjoyment: 7/10
The story is good, the art is as same as others isekai films, the characters make me enjoy the film. But the sound makes me disappointed.
Overall: 8/10
THANKS FOR READING MY REVIEW!

To sum it up: It's nothing out of the ordinary, but an otherwise enjoyable watch over dinner, supper or a midnight snack. Wouldn't recommend binging it because the pacing is pretty slow, it might bore you out. Slime 300 feels like a discount Maid Dragon at first, but Azusa carried the show pretty well. Considering this is the 5th anime of the studio, I'll say it did pretty well, but by no means is this a 10/10 AotS. It's just something you can watch if you're bored and just want to turn your brain off, and preferably not in an anime binging mood, because I'll recommendyou something else like ID:Invaded instead.
To go with the usual format:
Story: 5/10
In simple terms, it's Azusa building her "harem", except she's a female MC building a house of female cast. While they're cute and enjoyable in their own right (I don't really find any of them annoying, even Halkara was tolerable tbh), the story is absolutely predictable. Almost every episode you have someone new introduced, and then has a conflict Azusa has to solve (for them), and then they join the family in the end, living together. Yep, that's it. The story is not what's supposed to be the highlight of the show anyway.
Do not expect to see Maid Dragon writing here despite being the same genre/type, because Maid Dragon actually has a background story and the growth of the dragons from being genocidal maniacs to cute little Kobayashi simps are well fleshed out.
Art: 8/10
Being a relatively new anime studio, the art is pretty good, and the animations do not have noticeable problems. Of course, considering Slime 300 is supposed to be carried by the wacky cast, they obviously have to draw them well, and they did just that. You may still find some of them being easily forgettable (more on that later) but that has nothing to do with the art.
Sound:6/10
I remember the music was decent, but then again I don't remember the music. Sounds like a weird way to describe it, but basically it wasn't bad, but it wasn't great enough to make me remember it or save it to my playlist as well.
Character: 6/10
For a show that depends on showcasing the interactions between the wacky cast, it did just that, especially for the first few episodes where Azusa slowly constructs her house. However, later on, there are just way too many characters, and it leads to the point where you might not remember some characters. For example, I personally think Beelzebub is quite memorable, but everyone else except Azusa was easily forgettable. Not that it stops you from enjoying the anime when you watch it, but it is, at the end of the day, just an anime for you to turn off your brains and waste your time on. It's a CGDCT series, don't expect too much from it aside from the characters being... well... cute.
Enjoyment: 7/10
I followed the anime when it was airing, so it was an enjoyable experience for me, although I must say I am not an anime connoisseur. I watch whatever interests me, and whatever manages to keep my interest. Slime 300 wasn't anything special nor some groundbreaking masterpiece, but it definitely was enjoyable while it lasted. I seriously think the anime will be a weak binge though.
Overall: 7/10
Nothing out of the ordinary, but not a bad watch either if you're looking to just laze around and chill, preferably with food, some snacks or Cola. In fact, it's probably something Umaru from Himouto will watch while eating junk food. It can be the onion rings to your pasta, but by no means is it a Michelin 3 star steak main course.

It's a light comedy anime with Aoi Yuuki, with only a small amount of ecchi, a fairly decent story, bright colours and a funny supporting cast. Sure, it's not Nichijou, but it's better than your average Harem Isekai Generic Marathon; it's a little bit generic, but the good kind - the kind of normality that one could use on occasion. Just some light fluff with an overpowered protagonist and good voice acting. Thus: Good - voice acting, art-style, sound design and characters. It's cute, it's funny, and you do care about the cast. Bad - generic FF setting with little-to-no world building, some plotlines get dropped after anepisode.
Overrall: Give it a watch. What's the worst that could happen?

the girls that get it, GET IT, and the girls that don't....DON'T. that's all I really have to say. it's light hearted girly girl activities fun. cozy and easy to watch. the shameless and fun fan service? camp. character design is cute and completely absurd. the storylines are simple but very wholesome. the themes really align with the tone of the show since it's all supposed to be chill and one-day-at-the-time kind of vibe. don't wear yourself out. overall if you enjoy girly girl girling with the girly girls in girly activities, look no further. it's low-stakes, character driven, and very entertaining if you're intononsensical SOL anime.

Honestly, I'm a bit biased because I love Fantasy & Slice of Life. That said, "I've Been Killing Slimes for 300 Years and Maxed Out My Level" hits different. I'm not that eloquent with words, but what I can say is that this show is great. It's not full of action packed scenes like MHA or JJK (Although there was 1 pretty good fight scene) and it's not a super heartfelt drama like Bunny Girl Senpai. What it is, however, is relaxation. After a crappy week of school and work, I found myself looking forward to each and every new episode. You get a peekinside a well-written fantasy world, where nothing much ever really happens. My eyes didn't need to strain and keep up with high action scenes and I didn't need to focus on every aspect of the show or get super emotionally invested. All I needed to do was watch, and I would laugh, relax and be entertained. This show is one think: pure relaxation.
That's my overall review, but to the individual parts-
The story was well written, nothing felt rushed, all the characters had development in one way or another. This was nice, considering the large cast that there was in this show.
The art was very pretty, a simple style that didn't go wrong. Nothing was atrocious and unbearable to watch, and the in-betweens of the episodes were quite nice as well.
Standing above any other aspect of this show was the sound. The little spoken words of 'Gurgle Gurgle' or 'Sparkle Sparkle' were really cute and nice; the music was relaxing, and fit very well into the whole fantasy theme. The horns, flutes and other instruments were really soothing and nice, even if they weren't the focus of the show.
The characters were well-written, staying true to their nature without arbitrary changes in their nature. In most shows, there's a hateable character, or a character I didn't like because of their writing or actions or just their design in general. For this show, though, I really couldn't find my hateable character. I couldn't dislike a single character. That shows how great the characters are written.
Overall, a big 10/10. The voice actors absolutely slayed their roles, the animators did an impeccable job, the writers and directors did not fail to meet to perfect standards, and the sound design was just wonderful. If you're a super stressed and busy person like me, then I recommend this show. You don't use energy to watch this show, like many other shows. This show is just a perfect Slice of Life, Fantasy and Isekai mix. You can just watch this show and feel one thing only: relaxation.

Maybe many people won't like this anime but in my case I liked it a lot. It doesn't have the best animation or story but it carries it quite well making the viewer (in this case me) want to know more about the main characters and the plot. One of the things I liked the most was that there is a goodness in the family that the characters have, each character has something to contribute, it shows how they each care and love each other, that makes my heart melt with love. The main character is a plus to the anime, she is always there tohelp others and leaves us several teachings in each chapter. It also has scenes that are very funny, for example in episode 6 I had a good time laughing.
I love anime with the found family trope and this one is no exception. I will defend this anime like dirt on a nail because I could say it's one of the best I've seen in 2021. This anime entertained me a lot and every episode made me smile from side to side so a 9/10.
— Spanish versión —
Tal vez a mucha gente no le guste este anime pero en mi caso me conquisto. No tiene la mejor edición, animación ni la historia pero esta la lleva bastante bien haciendo que el espectador (en este caso yo) quiera saber más sobre las protagonistas y la trama. Una de las cosas que más me gustó fue que hay una bondad en la familia que tienen los personajes, cada personaje tiene algo que aporta, se muestra como cada una se preocupan y se quieren entre ellas, eso hace que mi corazón se derrita de amor.
La protagonista es un plus al anime, siempre está para ayudar a los demás y nos deja varias enseñanzas en cada capítulo. Además tiene escenas que son muy divertidas, por ejemplo el episodio 6 me la pase riendo.
Amo los anime con la found family trope y este no es la excepción. Defenderé este anime como mugre en uña porque podría decir que es uno de los mejores que he visto el 2021. Me entretuvo bastante y cada capítulo me hizo tener una sonrisa de lado a lado así que un 9/10
