That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: A Slime's Guide to Life and Adventure - S01E01-E08 Recap and Review
7. Technical Production Notes
- Studio: 8bit (known for Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?)
- Director: Yasuhito Kikuchi
- Music: Elements of orchestral fantasy mixed with comedic chiptune tracks during Rimuru’s internal monologues.
- Animation Quality: Fluid character designs; Veldora’s dragon form uses 3D CGI seamlessly blended with 2D for scale.
Box Office and Ratings
The episode scored a 4.8/5 on Crunchyroll within 24 hours and held a 9.0+ on MyAnimeList for weeks. The light novel sales skyrocketed 500% post-airing.
Sound Design
Veldora’s roar shakes subwoofers. Rimuru’s pachi-pachi bouncing sounds are oddly satisfying. The voice acting is stellar: Miho Okasaki as Rimuru delivers a gender-neutral, soft but determined performance, while Tomoaki Maeno as Veldora chews scenery with theatrical bombast.
