# Where to Watch That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime

**A slime who gathers displaced monsters into a new home gives this 2018 isekai its unusually warm nation-building focus. For legal viewing, the first season is on Crunchyroll, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video. Its 24 episodes balance action and comedy with the steady pleasure of seeing a community take shape through alliances, negotiation, and the occasional reluctant fight. The lead is enormously powerful, but generosity drives the story more often than intimidation. It is a good pick for viewers who want fantasy progression without constant cynicism, especially if town building and cooperation sound as appealing as combat.**

## Synopsis

An ordinary office worker dies and awakens in a fantasy world inside the body of a slime. The form looks unimpressive, yet it can absorb creatures and gain their abilities. After meeting a sealed storm dragon and receiving the name Rimuru, the newcomer begins helping monsters who have nowhere safe to live. Goblins, wolves, ogres, and other unlikely neighbors gradually gather around that refuge. Survival soon grows into the harder work of forming a nation, making agreements, and protecting a mixed community from threats. The premise leaves plenty of room for jokes, but the continuing hook is watching kindness become a practical method of leadership.
