That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime was one of the most popular Isekai series to release in quite some time as it reshaped most of the opinions on the subgenre by putting a new spin on it. Rather than focus solely on its overpowered protagonist much like the rest of the Isekai anime series, much of the progression in the series was displayed through how big the rest of the village was getting around him. Rimuru the Slime was such a huge hit, in fact, that a second season of the anime was confirmed to be in the works shortly after the first ended.
