Think about it. Your favorite characters from TenSura living a normal life—well, as normal as life can be in that world—doing everyday chores and other things. There’s a saying that great moments are found more in day-to-day life than anywhere else and that’s exactly what Slime Diaries does. It takes this fantasy world and shows that they have different seasons too. They face boredom too and want to just do something to overcome that. It’s the perfect bridge between an isekai world and our own world because we’re able to relate to these characters and the things they’re saying on a whole new level through this anime!

One complaint that many TenSura watchers had was how the side characters of TenSura, though incredible and interesting, were not fleshed out during the anime because of lack of episodes and other material to adapt. However, Slime Diaries makes up for it where we get to know more about our favorite side characters like Benimaru, Shuna, Shion, etc. We get to see their reactions to different situations that would arise every day by adding an extra layer of depth to the characters that was very much needed.

When TenSura first came out, it was known not only for its isekai goodness but also because of the many Slice of Life elements that it chose to adapt throughout the anime. That’s one of the reasons TenSura has become so special in all our hearts. Slime Diaries just amplifies that Slice of Life-ness and shows us mundane moments of daily life in the most interesting way possible. From going to the beach for the summer to not having to do anything for a day, Slime Diaries shows the behind-the-scenes moments of what happens when they are not fighting to protect their town.
