  It's a very bland show

  This review has UNMARKED SPOILERS, read at your own accord

  This show was very bland, multiple of the side characters were way more interesting and would be fun to follow, rather then the protagonist of the show. It moved pretty slow, and like i feel theres a lot more to do in a fantasy setting, espesially when you've just died, rather then just like. "make a laundry service" "make slime technology happen" like i feel like since its a low level tameable monster, a lot of the stuff would have already been figured out, that theres a foreign influence from another world to make most he did really dosn't seem like it happened.

  The story really only happens with the same cast every episode, but like i feel like it'd be more interesting if they actually had some characteristics except for "one character trait + praising ryouma" The only difficulities we saw was literally just like "but your grace, what about the geneva convention" and "i froze someone since i was fucking 5 years old and dont control magic good, so now i'm sad because people think i meant to do it, younno, the 5 year old, meant to freeze that other kid, yeah totally, very epic"

  Like i get its like a rehab for ryouma and stuff, and he has his aspirations, but like come the fuck one. Theres so many more ways of him reaching his goals and leaning about slimes and stuff. He got a super rare slime and used it fucking once until the season ended he didn't even touch it, and used only like a few types of slimes the whole way trough. Like yeah ok free money and whatever, but they have literal magic, i feel like some sort of magic to clean stuff would be possible, no?

  Here's how you make the story good, FOLLOW THE ADVENTURING PARTY THATS ALWAYS IN THE ENDING CREDITS OR FOLLOW ELISE WHEN SHE WAS TRAINING AND GOT FUCKING OVER 100 WOLVES, HOW COOL WOULD THAT HAVE BEEN, like theres actual characters in this that are like already good and stuff, and its an interesting idea being like "ok what if there was this one kid, and he had a bilion slime companions", like it is a good idea, before you clearly see the limits that's on that idea. Like not even that, its just that the creator couldn't make up anything else with them. Like theres such a clear thing of seeing the creator almost gave up on the slime idea, SINCE THEY LITERALLY CAUGHT BIRDS IN THE LAST EPISODE, NOT JUST THE GIRL BUT THE PROTAGONIST TOO

  I really hope the continuation to this story in the light novel was better. Since this was like the most boring anime i've seen in a while, they literally just went all like "congratulations, congratunations, congratulations" at the end too, and ryouma saying goodbye really had to say every individual name to show "oh but he cares about them" which really only padded out time, since he keeps naming everyone super slowly. This isn't the end of your youtube video where you say everyones name from your patreon boy, its a finite time for like a 20something minute per episode show.

  Though it was interesting seeing them showcase how fucked working enviroments in japan is, and like how better he has it in that world, like thats really cool and good and it has a good message, its a very like supportive show.
  But it's also quite boring, and i wouldn't say it's because of it, but them forcing and dragging on the supportive messages definetly is a part of it.

  Final thoughts: If you wanna watch it, wait to see if it gets a dub, and just have it in the background while doing something else.

  A surprisingly delightful spin on the classic isekai formula that commentates on Japan's oppressive work culture.

  It's become well-known that Japan is fixated on isekai. The rules regarding the isekai differ depending on the work, but they all embody the idea of touching on another world in some form. On paper, there is nothing wrong with such a concept. In fact, this type of story framing has been around for hundreds of years. Many western classics like Alice in Wonderland and Wizard of Oz also touch on this concept. It's a tool designed for escapism, and it rightfully works to varying degrees depending on the work. I get the appeal, but it often leaves much to be desired on my end. So, how does KamiHiro fare against the tidal wave of isekai that has placated the masses over the years?

  On the surface, it's pretty much like the typical isekai. The MC is noticeably overpowered and everyone points out his amazing feats. However, that's where the commonalities end. The series doesn't feature harems or even romance for that matter. Most of the series explores the fantasy world, especially in regards to the varying uses of slimes for an improved standard of living. It centers around a guy named Ryouma, except the story itself is catered moreso towards commentating on Japan's oppressive work culture.

  The world of Sail Fall is quite different from our own world. It contains no oppressive multinational corporations or safety nets designed to benefit the average worker. It's a world where most people are totally at the mercy of their employer, but everything remains strangely idyllic. Magic exists, but there's very little practical use of magic. Enter Ryouma. He observes that people are annoyed with slime stench on their clothes and armor, so he opens up a laundromat service. He notices that his employees had to travel from distant cities to work, so he offers them to live in-house. He remembers the painful experiences that brought him to this world, so he gives his employees vacation time even though they were content with working without breaks. Ryouma perfectly understands the struggles of Japan's oppressive work culture, so he actively attempts to address this issue. Ultimately, this is still a wish-fulfillment fantasy. This show never pretends that it isn't, but is that necessarily a bad thing in its own right?

  The show's biggest appeal is exploring the pains of modern Japanese society and how life can be better if people were actively concerned for others. Ryouma's second life becomes something where people reward him for the stuff he missed in his former life. He is appreciated for his work, and he gets joy out of actively helping others. He makes bonds with the folks around him and have them support his growth. This may all seem normal, and it honestly should be. But it isn't. If Ryouma represents the average person, then the show says a lot about how welcoming others with kindness can fundamentally change people for the better. The fundamental idea behind KamiHiro is one of healing. It's not designed like a typical iyashikei, but it still effectively works as one since it explores an otherwise ideal life that most people should strive towards.

  It's also worth noting how the show touches on the concept of slimes. They are generally regarded as insignificant creatures. Many of them may have astounding talents, but they get written off as low-level monsters. In fact, they are so unimportant that most people are totally unaware of their practical uses. Cleaner slimes didn't exist until Ryouma tried putting his slimes to good use. One particular blood slime was so undervalued that its owner drank himself to tears from lack of prospective buyers until Ryouma bought it off his hands. I hope someone notices the connection I'm making here.

  This mistreatment of slimes is essentially the same disdain that Japanese society has towards its workers. Upon arriving at Sail Fall, Ryouma began taming hundreds of slimes and cared for them all. He dotes on them and treats them beyond their outwardly insignificant demeanor. He sets up an environment for them to actively put their talents to good use. The slimes are otherwise nameless and faceless, but Ryouma cares for all of them like irreplaceable family members. In essence, he created a positive environment built from genuine kindness. The message is powerful and needs to be emphasized.

  Beyond its thematic exploration, the characters are also surprisingly endearing. Ryouma's new family effectively takes him in and cares for him. The bond between him and Eliaria is noticeably sweet as they genuinely care for one another. She also happens to be quite skilled in her own right, like the scene where she successfully tamed a rare bird. It's pleasant enough to come off as cute without any overbearing moments from the supporting cast.

  Ultimately, the show surprisingly had plenty of genuinely positive aspects. I love how it explores working environments and the necessity of kindness in everyday relationships. The iyashikei aspect might turn some people off, but I genuinely find it endearing. It's far from perfection, but I can't deny that I found this relatively delightful.

  A wholesome anime that can really relate to anyone who had/has a terrible work experience and just want happiness.

  Full disclosure on how I rate my anime.
  I rate each anime fairly simple where the premise of the show can be literally about anything (favorite genres are romance and comedy mixed with slapstick) as long as it is entertaining or has meaningful life lessons. I love laughing and feeling the wholesome vibe of what the anime is giving me. Also, in general, I don't take the anime too seriously because, let's be honest, there are an absurdly amount of genres of anime that are just funny and just plain weird to the point of disgust lol and lots of anime (besides the main stream ones) typically have 10-12 episodes for one season and its done (of course, you can go to the manga but I'm strictly speaking on anime). So, obviously, for the premise of the story to be told all in 12 episodes is extremely hard especially when they add so much stuff and I'm sitting here thinking, "wow! that is a lot of cool lore and foreshadowing there. Hopefully they can show all of that in these mere 10-12 episodes along with amazing character development lol". So, with that in mind, I tend to rate these anime with an open mind and take it in as it is. Never harshly. If I find an anime that is not worth my time, I just stopped watching the anime and move on another anime on my list so I can be efficient.

  This anime is about one thing, true wholesome feeling of honest work and having a peace of mind. This is what I feel personally and it was a thrill to watch. It is a relaxing watch and if you are looking for a anime that makes you feel warm in the heart and good feels, I recommend this one. Before the story begins, I love how the main character is a person that we can all relate too and if given a second chance, wouldn't we want to start over or be better? From the beginning I could tell that this show wasn't going to be crazy like the other anime but a relaxing watch and it was amazing. A nice, calm show that made me think about life and what truly means to be content genuinely. I just graduated and my family suffered a loss and from that moment, I began to really analyzed what it truly means to be happy and know what is enough for life. This series truly showed what peace and having good people around you can really do for you for the long term and for your health. We all want happiness and peace and to live a good life and this anime showed that for me and reminded me that I'm doing okay.

  I really hope they make a second season because I really want to see the characters progressed more with each other and show more beautiful slice of life morals that we all can further relate too in our lives.
