That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

## That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime **That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime** (転生したらスライムだった件, *Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken*, commonly abbreviated as *TenSura*) is a 2018 anime television series produced by 8bit, adapted from Fuse's light novel series. It is one of the most successful isekai anime of the modern era and stands out from its peers through a more thoughtful, strategically-minded protagonist whose appeal lies not in brute combat power but in creative problem-solving and emotional intelligence. Satoru Mikami is a 37-year-old corporate drone who has lived an unremarkable life. While saving a coworker during a random street stabbing, he is killed — and reincarnates in a fantasy world as a slime, the weakest and most contemptible of all monsters. However, his slime form has a unique ability to absorb and mimic the powers of any creature he ingests, and the godlike magical being he meets on awakening — the Storm Dragon Veldora — grants him extraordinary latent potential. Naming himself Rimuru Tempest, he sets about navigating this new world with the wisdom and emotional maturity his previous life gave him, building a nation of goblins, wolves, and other outcasted monsters into a prosperous, cooperative community. A feel-good power fantasy executed with real craft.
