Damn, it must be a very busy year for a ‘reincarnated’ Aoi Yuuki as well as for slimes. I mean, other than a certain reincarnated slime getting its second season, not only was Aoi Yuuki busy being reincarnated in an isekai genre as a spider of another anime, now we have her again being reincarnated in an isekai genre as a slime master! Oh boy. Looks like the isekai trope is still going strong. And hence when you add Aoi Yuuki and slimes together, you get Slime Taoshite 300-nen Shiranai Uchi Ni Level Max Ni Nattemashita! Phew. That was a mouthful to say but I guess it is still better than that Last Dungeon (damn, forgot that long ass title already, too freaking long to remember). And just like the title suggests, Aoi Yuuki has been reincarnated and killing slimes for 300 straight years and now she’s maxed out all her stats in every possible and becomes an overpowered isekai character! Go, Aoi Yuuki! Go, slime master! We’re making slimes and isekai tropes great again! HAHAHA!!! Sighs…

Episode 1
Long story short, Azusa Aizawa works as a corporate slave till she dies at the young age of 27! God feels bad for this and decides to reincarnate her as per her wishes. Hence she is reincarnated into an immortal witch who will live a slow and lazy life in the highlands. In the village of Flatta, she kills lowly slimes and then joins a guild to have a stable income. Her stats are level 1 despite being an immortal. Okay. Cool. Doing the same things every day, in a blink of an eye, 300 years passed. Now she has been nicknamed Witch of the Highlands and the villagers love and respect her as her medicine helped saved them from plagues, etc. When she takes her stats reading again, it seems she is now at level 99 and her experience points over 10 million!!! WOAH! Well, if she kills an average of 25 slimes every day for 300 years… You do the math! She hopes Natalie the guild receptionist can keep this a secret since she wants to live a peaceful life. However, adventurers soon show up on her doorstep to challenge her. She accepts so as to dispel the rumour she is the strongest. However just a slight little magic blows them away! Ernst the adventurer is the one who eavesdropped and spread the word that she’s the strongest. So now a red dragon named Laika is here to challenge her! Once again, Azusa accepts just to get this over with. Although Azusa freezes her mouth, this causes Laika to panic and crashes into her house. Mad Azusa forces her to rebuild it or else! Laika admits defeat and will return with the money. For the time being, she stays in the village as the villagers celebrate with her. Next day, a cute young girl is here to see her. Turns out to be Laika in human form! Other than compensating with her treasure, Laika also wants to be her disciple. She laments she has grown arrogant, hence her defeat to Azusa. Azusa accepts as she believes it’ll be good to have a helper around the house. So in addition to repairing her house, she has Laika expand it. Laika works hard and would’ve worked through the night too until Azusa puts her foot down and says no. I guess after 300 years, overworking is still a traumatic incident. Azusa adds that when night falls, it is this world of telling that you’ve done enough for the day. Besides, she didn’t grow strong by working hard but putting in moderate amount of effort every day. So if you’re tired and can’t keep going, just stop. So that’s permission to slack off, right? Once the house is fully completed, they head to town to celebrate.

Episode 2
Azusa shows Laika how it’s done to kill slimes. Easy. Later, Laika realizes the magic in Flatta is very weak so if an evil mage decides to attack, a spell is enough to destroy the place. Hence Azusa puts up a magic barrier and it immediately catches a thief?! The villagers praise her but she refuses to take all that credit and shares with Laika who is also of course being too humble as she credits her master for doing all the work. They continue their easy life and why do I have a feeling Azusa jinks it by saying she hopes to live like this forever? Because a loli comes knocking on her door claiming Azusa to be her mama! Azusa denies but Falfa insists she gave birth to her! Oh, so what’s this that her sister, Shalsha is out to kill her?! Because Azusa killed her many times?! This is getting confusing! Apparently Shalsha has been learning some evil magic specifically targeting at Azusa. You can’t miss her. Here she is with that evil aura. So it is revealed that the sisters are spirits of the slimes Azusa killed. Born 50 years ago, Shalsha has been training for this day of revenge. Wow. Shalsha’s magic nullifies Azusa’s? Not wanting to get the rest involved, Azusa flees. But then Shalsha cuts off her magic! Laika in her dragon form comes to defend her master. A simple punch knocks out Shalsha?! Oh well, she’s only been training in magic and hence weak in all other departments. When she wakes up, looks like all her magic’s gone. Got to wait decades for them to recover. In despair, Azusa tries reverse psychology. Had she been successful in her revenge, her life would be meaningless. Hence Azusa being alive means she still has a goal. But Shalsha is in a dilemma since Azusa helped bandaged her wounds. Falfa claims they can both live happily together since there must be a reason why they were born. It’s be more fun that way. And so Azusa’s family has increased but don’t worry, Laika built a bigger house with lots of rooms so they can accommodate more. Yeah, thinking of adding elves and even demons to the family? You don’t say… Oh, I take it that Azusa prefers this noisy life than her peaceful but lonely one.

Episode 3
Oh look, a busty elf just showed up at Azusa’s doorstep. Apparently Halkara needs her help to save her from a demon, Beelzebub. Oh sh*t. Don’t want any trouble. Go away! I guess with Halkara bugging her, I suppose she is forced to let her in and listen to the rest of her story. Halkara is good in making medicine. So she made one that is a strong energy drink. Beelzebub drank it and nearly died. Almost went to hell. What. The. F*ck?! So she’s seeking revenge on her and hunting her down. Azusa agrees to shelter her but doesn’t want to go through the trouble of fighting a demon. Halkara is made her disciple. We see he teach Azusa some finer points of mushroom gathering in the woods. Too bad she ate the wrong poisonous mushroom herself and is feeling horny. Too bad for us folks, Azusa won’t allow any yuri fanservice and blasts the lewd elf. We also see Azusa teaching her how to kill slimes (boobs jiggling all the way) and the men in town keep starring at her (ahem!). Oh, there’s a wanted poster put up by Beelzebub? It pays very well. It doesn’t describe much about Halkara except for her humungous boobs. So looks like she has made her move. Realizing the battle is inevitable, Azusa has Laika take her daughters away and then put a barrier around the house. When they return, looks like all the food and energy drinks are empty. It’s not Azusa. Azusa confirms from Halkara about Beelzebub being the lord of the flies. Look at that suspicious fly buzzing around. Yup, that’s her! Apparently Beelzebub has been here since Halkara sought refuge. She was just trying to make sure she is the elf she is looking for. Now she wants her back, Azusa says she’ll need to deal with her first. Okay, let’s fight outside. As Beelzebub brags about her prowess, she accidentally gets zapped by the barrier! WTF you were saying about fighting fair and square?! Oh, Beelzebub feels sick and passes out. Azusa takes her in and heals her. Once she is well, she explains that she drank the energy drinks because she was working overtime. She fell sick because of all the stress. But it is the energy drinks that kept her going. In fact, so popular that all the demons love it! That’s why she is looking for her to ask her to make more! So I see Halkara assumed the rest, eh? Let’s have a long talk, elf babe… Subsequently, Halkara decides to not only live here but move her factory here to avoid paying high taxes. Okay. We have lots of spare rooms, right? I guess this means Beelzebub wants to stay too because it’s fun here. Just when Azusa thinks her happy family is expanding well, suddenly the next day Laika drops news she is leaving for home. Family’s falling apart!

Episode 4
Actually, Laika is returning to attend her big sister’s wedding. Wanna come? Of course! Upon arriving, Laika introduces them to her friends and family and of course her sister, Leila. However the wedding is soon interrupted when the blue dragons attack. Yeah, different dragon tribes have this penchant for fighting each other. Led by Flatorte, the blue dragons wreak havoc. Flatorte jealous because someone’s getting married while she is still single? Oh well, any reason’s a good reason to fight. Normally, Azusa would stay out of this internal affairs. However when they threatened to rough them up for being friends of the red dragons, Azusa takes this personally to protect her family. Oh damn, see her beat up those blue dragons! Screw Goku! Screw One Punch Man! Azusa’s your b*tch!!! Eventually she defeats Flatorte and sends her gang running away. But it isn’t over yet. Flatorte’s other group is harassing the volcano nearby and there lies a famous hotspring spot. They go check it out and everything looks quite peaceful. Turns out Beelzebub reigned in the dragons for harassing. Yeah, she’s here to enjoy the hotspring and they sure have the guts to ruin her holiday. Once done, they ‘negotiate’ with Flatorte to pay all the damages as well as a nonaggression treaty between the dragon tribes. With Beelzebub enforcing the contract, you know what it means if you break it, right? The party continues with an all-you-can-eat buffet and the dragons this time in their human form. Flatorte reluctantly giving her blessing and peace offering to Leila. Laika feels lonely because now that Leila is married, there is no one to be her lap pillow like her sister did in those days. Oh well, time for Azusa to play that part once in a while. With Halkara drunk as hell, I guess the gang has to retreat to the hotspring to rejuvenate and stay for the night. Azusa pointing out the family roles for each of the girls. Except for Halkara. Is trouble making junior a family role?

Episode 5
Halkara seems to be acting strange. From the way she says things, could it be her turn to leave home?! Hence they throw a farewell party for her and start crying. And of course as we all know, the twist is that she isn’t looking for a new home but a place for her factory. Phew. But soon we see her coming back late at night and very spooked. Because a ghost is haunting her factory! As people are too scared to work, at this rate she’ll have to operate the factory herself. Wait a minute. Her factory operates at night when the ghost appears? I guess it’s time to beg Azusa mama to help. Of course she also summons Beelzebub as help. So they visit the factory. Azusa and Halkara being scared at everything and making them look so annoying. Why don’t they just on the lights?! Jump scare when?! Eventually Beelzebub manages to catch the ghost girl and make her visible. She is Rosalie and has a bad attitude. Apparently she committed suicide in this room and is bound to this place. So she’s protecting it because it’s her turf? Her back story was that her parents lied to her about wanting to marry her off to a noble but sold her for a chump change. Beelzebub can exorcise her but looks like she still wants to stay in this world. Azusa offers her to live at her place but how to leave? Beelzebub suggests possessing the weakest person as a vessel. Why is everyone looking at Halkara? And so the spooked elf gets possessed. And just like that she is able to leave the place. After introducing herself to the rest of the family, it seems Rosalie is stuck! She can’t come out! As this would strain Halkara’s body, at this rate she will die! Oh no. Better do something. And no, not Rosalie killing herself!!! It’s not Rosalie who will die! So they try lots of method to make the ghost leave the body. Yeah, all seems to be close to killing her… The closest was a priest’s exorcist but they can’t have her go to the afterlife yet. In the end, it is suggested to put the body to sleep. Easy. Just a glass of alcohol to knock her out. Halkara regains her consciousness. To throw out the ghost, Beelzebub throws her into the cold water. That did the trick. Halkara is now able to operate her factory and just needs to wait for the rumours to die down. But after seeing Rosalie’s telekinesis power, Azusa has an idea. Rosalie introduces herself as a ghost to the townspeople and helps out with their chores. Now they love her. Rosalie so grateful to Azusa she found happiness after death that she is glad she died! That sounds so messed up…

Episode 6
To recognize Azusa’s efforts in making peace between the dragon tribes, Beelzebub announces she will be awarded with a medal of honour. That will take place in the demon realm. Everyone gets scared about demons but Beelzebub assures that demons now are nice people. Just be on your good manners. Oh dear, everyone looking at Halkara. Sure they can’t just leave her home? But first, because Rosalie can’t change her dress, they consult a ghost expert. Long story short, the clothes she is wearing now is part of her. But Azusa of course has a way. She has this creation skill. First she makes Rosalie imprint this dress in her mind day and night. When it’s time, Azusa casts the spell and voila! She’s now wearing a new dress. Beelzebub arrives on a giant flying whale to pick Azusa and co to the demon realm. She shows them around this mini resort on the whale while chastising Vania the leviathan who is slacking on the job. This place has a nice hotspring bath. But don’t soak too long or you’ll melt! The girls have a great time with their hospitality and food. Next morning, everyone worries that Halkara is not around. Rosalie said she was going to take a bath at midnight. Holy sh*t! Did she melt?! Turns out she was sleeping underneath the bed. Phew. Morning scare! We now arrive at the royal capital of the demon realm, Vanzeld. It’s like Halloween 24/7 with demons going about with their daily lives. The girls are worried because Azusa insists in taking them to meet the Demon King as part of the protocol before the ceremony. Yeah, everyone pray that Halkara doesn’t do or say something offensive or stupid! Though, Beelzebub claims the current Demon King is not that petty so just act like yourself. In the throne room, before them is a demon loli. Halkara talking to her and because she is worried she’ll be late, accidentally rants her mouth about wanting to trick the Demon Lord or something. Turns out this loli is the Demon Lord! Nice to meet you, Provat Pecora Allieres! Instant prostration from Halkara. Everyone is worried for her but it seems she is piling up her sins. Pecora still jolly and forgiving, though. So as she tells Halkara to raise her head, elf girl swiftly does so and knocks Pecora out! OMFG!!! You dead this time!!! The worst has come true. Halkara imprisoned and will be executed!!!

Episode 7
Oh my. Halkara will be impaled and burnt alive?! And her whole elf village will be destroyed?! Extreme! Only Pecora can undo such orders but she is out cold now. Hence, Azusa makes a bitter potion that will wake her up. Beelzebub has sent Vania to assist Azusa by masquerading as a doctor. However other demons feel something fishy. With Vania panicking, the gig is up. No more pretending. Azusa kicks all their asses! As she is about to pour the potion into Pecora’s mouth, she wakes up as she senses danger. Furthermore, Pecora thinks she is trying to poison her! The only way to settle this is via duel. Azusa seems to be just avoiding and defending. Until Pecora threatens that Halkara’s life is at stake. Nobody messes with her family. She takes Pecora down in full force. It’s my win so rescind Halkara’s death order. By now, Pecora is infatuated with Azusa and wants her to be her onee-sama. She’s tired of everyone serving her so now she finds it liberating and refreshing there is someone stronger than her. But Azusa has to do so in a sadistic way and hence Pecora rescinds all executions and orders all demons to treat Azusa’s family well. Later as a reluctant Azusa spends time with happy Pecora, the latter wants a kiss as read from those yuri books. Azusa reluctantly does so because this brat won’t stop whining. Only, everyone else walks in and sees this! Annoyed Pecora is now in foul mood. Execution! When the slime daughters thought mama has never kissed them, Azusa does so on their cheeks and they return the favour. The rest Azusa hugs them. Next day at the award ceremony, Pecora shocks Azusa and Laika by calling Flatorte to the stage too to receive their peace awards. But there’s more, she wants Azusa to stroke Flatorte’s horns. This custom for blue dragons means total submission. A humiliated Flatorte lets Azusa does so. For the sake of peace! On the way home, why is Flatorte following them? Since Azusa is her new master, she must now live with her and protect her. If she is ordered to go home, she will kill herself! Yeah, it’s the custom. Later Azusa talks with her about the blue dragons’ custom that is their pride. Azusa orders her to live freely and throw away all submissive thoughts. It might be contradictory but an order is an order. In that case, Flatorte has a request: To lie on Azusa’s lap and pet her horns. Flatorte descending into child mode and probably enjoying this until Laika throws her off and they start arguing. This place isn’t big enough for 2 dragons! Oh well. Feels like home now. Welcome aboard, Flatorte.

Episode 8
Azusa’s peaceful morning is broken by the dragons fighting. Over which cookies of theirs are better! Oh Azusa, will you help settle this feud? Okay then. You’re both winners! That’s not going to cut it, right? Soon, Natalie comes by with a request since the longhammer boars are bothering the people. Since they’re just animals and not monsters, killing them would give you not magic but meat. Instantly the dragons decide to go on this hunt. Since Flatorte finds he clothes through the jungle to be cumbersome, she strips naked! Freedom! Only, a few girls at the river saw her. She puts back her undies but continues to streak in this way. This time, she gets chased by boars as they throw her clothes in the river. Now that it’s come to this, she strips naked to fight them! Okay girls, it’s your cue to intervene. All the boars are killed and they cook its delicious meat. Meat festival. Later the dragons admit they had a contest among each other to see who could sleep with Azusa. Oh well, Azusa lets both of them sleep with her. Later that night she realizes they’re gone but catches them red handed eating the boar meat. Azusa heard that there is a Witch of the Highlands going around helping people. Definitely a fake and you bet her family finds this unforgivable. First, to find info. Azusa and Laika step into a sadistic bar. Yeah, they have to verbally abuse your customers if they want some info. Don’t worry, Azusa is a natural. Those masochistic pigs love it. Laika is even more natural and tells them off for bothering Azusa. MORE! Eventually this leads them to the phoney who turns out to be an old lady. Azusa calls her a fake so she runs. When caught, she turns into her true form: A young with named Eno. Seems Eno is making some pills and wants to be famous for it but doesn’t think a witch is supposed to advertise herself. Laika finds this contradictory but Azusa understands all about human vanity. In other words, Eno wants to be admired, stand out more and be treated like an honorary citizen! To help her, they have her sell at the market. Uhm, magical girl cosplay? Well, it’s her way to overcome her public speaking fear. Meanwhile the dragons are at each other’s throat trying to sell and outdo each other’s cookies. And Rosalie is an even better insulter for those masochistic pigs. Eno’s stall becomes successful and a few days later, Azusa receives a thank you mail from her that she was so successful that it has become an international phenomenon and she can’t produce enough to keep up. She is figuring how to overcome that and Azusa is glad she managed to draw out her latent talent.

Episode 9
Oh no! Falfa turned into a slime and can’t turn back! Summoning Beelzebub to help, looks like they’re going back to Vanzeld to find Intelligent Slime to help them out. Since they are lost in the castle, good thing Pecora is here. If Azusa gives her a kiss, she’ll tell her where. Sighs… Okay, here’s your little kiss. Happy loli points to where Intelligent Slime is. Yeah, I’m sure nobody could’ve found this place. Long story short, Intelligent Slime says to find Magician Slime who lives in some tallest mountain. Upon arriving, Magician Slime is in human form and learns about their problem. Planting her face into Falfa, she can tell the problem was her sleeping posture. So some muscles are damaged and it made it hard for her to maintain her human form, huh? While magic to turn her back will only last for a while, it still doesn’t solve the root of the problem. So to correct her posture, seek out Fighter Slime in the south town where a tournament is held. Azusa and Beelzebub enter that tournament and you bet those macho muscle guys are all just for show because Azusa just One Punch Man them flying into the sky! The semi-finals pits Beelzebub and Fighter Slime. Beelzebub easily defeats her! Azusa is shocked now they can’t get to talk with her but Beelzebub has made some arrangements. Azusa isn’t interested in the finals anymore but Beelzebub tells her not to insult the sanctity of the tournament and they still have a score to settle. So how to get Azusa revved up before to finals? Falfa has turned back into human form! Thanks to Beelzebub talking to Fighter Slime to help out. Now that Azusa can focus on the tournament, the audience will finally get their money’s worth and see an epic battle than easy One Punch Man style wins. In the end, Azusa wins no matter how much Beelzebub has trained for this and fought her best. But Azusa’s win might mean her peaceful life will slowly fade away because now everybody knows her. Later, Azusa thanks Fighter Slime for her help. But Fighter Slime wants to become her disciple and learn her moves. Azusa declines so Fighter Slime wants to fight to see if she is worthy. But before the fight could start, she sees all the slime aura Azusa has killed. So afraid she passes out! When she wakes up, now she wants to become Beelzebub to be her teacher. Of course she refuses. But Azusa thinks if her slime daughters have this problem again, they will know where to find Fighter Slime. And so Beelzebub reluctantly takes her in as her disciple. All’s well, ends well.

Episode 10
A famous minstrel, Schifanoia is going to play here. Turns out to be some death punk rock music! Yeah, should’ve been obvious from the death metal poster!!! So the crowd leaves as they’re unable to take this noise except Azusa and Flatorte since the latter is a minstrel addict. Schifanoia collapses after her performance. With all that shouting, I’m not surprised. After healing her, they realize her stomach growling and bring her back for food. Removing all that makeup, Kuku (Schifanoia’s real name) is just a meek bunny girl. She explains her dilemma. She wanted to become famous as a minstrel but it seems to be hard to make a living. She thinks of giving up music and starting her other life which sounds like a very shady job that utilizes the body. Yikes! And so kind Azusa lets her stay till she sorts things out. With the rest helping, Kuku once again sings her Schifanoia-style music. Yeah, it’s not working. All that noise and screaming… Flatorte has an idea so she borrows her lute (you mean it’s not a guitar?!) and sings a song in a different genre. OMG. Sounds great! Didn’t’ know Flatorte was this musically talented! Hence we see others singing their own versions like Laika’s enka, Halkara’s commercial-like, the slime sisters’ children song and Rosalie’s WTF gloomy and depressing piece. But this has Kuku motivated as she will try to incorporate it all into her new song. When she is done and test performs before them, Beelzebub likes it so much that she wants her to play at a music festival in Vanzeld. Before a strong 20 grand crowd! Oh my. Can Kuku handle the pressure? Before the performance, Kuku is getting cold feet so Flatorte dispenses some advice. She’s done all she could. Now all that’s left is for the audience to hear. And so, Kuku goes out there to sing her new song. Sorry, my bad, I thought it was Oasis’ Wonderwall… After the performance, everyone celebrates Kuku’s success. So great that Beelzebub hands her lots of offers from organizers requesting her performance. Then WTF Flatorte borrows her lute (again, it’s not really a guitar?!) and starts screaming like Schifanoia. So this is her way to say never to give up on her dreams and to sing however she wants? Okay. Kuku’s going to do her best from now on.

Episode 11
Courtesy from Halkara, we’re having a mushroom party! But there is one that Azusa starts to feel woozy when she east. I THOUGHT YOU SAID THEY WERE ALL NOT POISONOUS?! Except this one… Oops! The effect is… Azusa turning into a kid! So cute! Halkara leaves to find a cure. Everyone else is loving it as they treat Azusa as a kid. Soon Halkara returns. She found nothing. Okay Halkara, enough damage done, you can leave. That’s all you’ll be appearing for this episode. Hence Azusa summons Beelzebub. Kawaii mini Azusa! Okay then, time to head back to Vanzeld. Before Azusa can hide her identity from Pecora, she already knows. More cute kiddie smothering. If Azusa wants to return to normal, she has to climb 108 floors of the World Tree and see a pharmacist that deals with every medicine ever known. Pecora as Vania and her sister, Fatla accompany Azusa to the World Tree. Now, from Pecora’s description, you might think it is a very dangerous labyrinth filled with dangerous animals. But WTF?! It’s like a tourist trap! Stalls selling stuffs and tourists having fun! Heck, you need to pay to use the elevator to the next floor?! Yeah, this is definitely a rip-off. And all those dangerous animals are so accustomed to tourist, they’re tamed and even begging for food! But after reaching a certain floor, this is where real tough sh*t starts. But it’s no sweat for Azusa and the leviathan sisters as they kung fu their way to the top. At the top, the pharmacist recommends these pills. But what do you know? They’re created by Eno! What’s this? She took a wyvern to fly up all the way here! Yeah, you’ve been played, Azusa. But Pecora plays innocent. Can we trust that devilish smile? Pecora has a request and wants her to take the pills now in front of everybody. That’s because as Azusa reverts, her bigger body means her kiddie clothes will rip! Scandalous! Azusa has the last laugh as she wants everyone to take a bath now. That’s including you, Pecora. Demon girl being so shy-shy until she has a request that gives her the last laugh: She wants to touch Azusa’s boobs! Azusa won’t allow that in fear it might awaken something dreadful. For the sake of world peace, she must remain pure!

Episode 12
After Azusa and co see Flatta preparing for its dance festival and the slime daughters serving them at a bar, this has Azusa come up with a great idea. They’re going to do their own coffee house! So she has everyone take their measurements and dress up in the waitress outfit. Now, what to add to the menu. You bet the rest has strange menu that isn’t fit for any humans. Okay then, leave the menu to Azusa. After all the preparations, everyone tugs in for the night. Next morning as Azusa gets up early, oh damn, a really long queue outside! I bet it stretches to the next kingdom. Damn, this people got no life?! Heh. Anyway, Azusa and co open their coffee house an hour earlier. We see them serve and awe the customers with their service and tricks. And then here comes Beelzebub. My, she’s not happy. In short, she wasn’t invited to this fun and wanted to be invited. After all that complaining, she dons the outfit and starts serving. Yeah, she’s raring to go. And when customers keep on streaming in and doesn’t even stop (damn, I think the entire world must be coming here!), now who is here to help? That’s right. Your little sister, Pecora! This means the leviathan sisters appointed themselves as head chef and floor managers to help smoothen the flow. More so, Eno giving out free supplement samples and Kuku singing for those waiting in line. The last crowd leaves at closing time. Phew. What a day. Azusa thanks everyone for their hard work. Also cue for her to reflect her new life. How it is now filled with fun and exciting days, blah, blah, blah. Yeah, and it all started because she started killing slimes 300 years ago and maxed out her stats. She would love to live a peaceful life from now on. Peaceful? Don’t count on it! No turning back to those boring days! Then everyone talks about the dance festival as Azusa looks forward to another fun day.

F.A.M.I.L.Y. M.O.M.: For Azusa Mommy I Love You, Mother Of Monsters: Mom-ster!
When you are the most powerful and badass witch in this fantasy world, who else dares to take you head on to rule the world? Yup, nobody. That is why Azusa and her family can continue to have fun filled days like nobody’s business because come on, what else is there to do? I just hope one day Azusa won’t get bored of it all and decides to become the Demon Lord and take over the world! World domination! HAHAHA!!! Only in her dreams, maybe. Yeah, we all know this isn’t that kind of anime to begin with. So the next up plan for the family outing: Going camping in the woods or a vacation at the beach! Oh yeah! We’re just getting started and warmed up here…

So I guess the plot isn’t very complicated and in fact, I don’t think there is any to begin with. The first half feels like introduction and Azusa accumulating her own little monster family of her own. Which of course feels very random. And then the second half sees more randomness from trying to get to the bottom of a perpetrator impersonating or using Azusa’s name to finding a cure for her slime daughter and to finding a cure for herself after being turned into a child. They’re all fun, wacky and zany, all in the name of, uhm, comedy? Oh well, what else is there going for Azusa and her happy little family? These little (mis)adventures might sometimes give Azusa a heart attack because she doesn’t need to go through all those troublesome stuffs but I guess a little spice is needed when you live for 300 years. But at the end of the day, these (mis)adventures aren’t anything of a big deal. It’ll get solved in the end and everyone goes back to their normal happy family lives again. Until the next big (mis)adventure.

I think there are some that draw some comparisons between this series and another slime themed series that ran in the same season: Tensura Nikki. Both are isekai genres and have slime as their main theme. Even so, both have this general plot of seeing the reincarnated main character who is also very overpowered living out the peaceful days with the rest of his/her members who are all non-human who worship and adore him/her like a God. Hmm… Doesn’t it all sound too close? Oh well, the coincidence is too striking but thankfully I didn’t get mixed up between both these series.

The characters, they’re cute and lovable in their own way unless you hate this kind of genre but then again if so, why are you watching this? Anyway, they’re not as bad nor do they suck thanks to the comedic nature of the series. So I find most of them funny. Like Azusa, at first she reeks isekai main character ingredients like how she was killed and then reincarnated to a fantasy world with her memories intact but instead of being overpowered the moments she arrives, it took her 300 years to max out her stats. So yeah, she’s overpowered in the end. It sounds all too familiar a component in making such isekai shows these days. But that’s when those similarities ends and the series taking on its own form to differentiate from other isekai shows. Just like how the opening of every chess game is always and almost similar to the point it is boring and predictable. Right? So for Azusa, her 300 years of peaceful living is ‘shattered’ when she starts accumulating her own family and with everyone having different needs, things are about to get hectic. But of course, Azusa being the all-powerful Witch of the Highlands, there is (almost) nothing that she cannot do. But I seem to notice that a big chunk of her role is to play the straight(wo)man and retort all the other shenanigans other characters bring to the table. After all, Azusa is responsible for the family members she brings in. So don’t you ever threaten them because she’ll whoop your ass so fast you don’t know what hit you in the buttocks.

Too many cooks spoil the broth. I guess that idiom is very true because I was wondering if there was a chance Azusa would keep increasing her family. I mean, that was why they built a big home with so many rooms, right? Hindsight, people. Too bad you can expect the family numbers to stop growing if you make an intelligent guess from watching the ending credits animation. Yup, that is all that Azusa will be having for now. Because from slimes to an elf to dragons to demons and even a ghost, damn, I thought Azusa would even get a vampire to be part of the family! And why didn’t we have a bunny girl or cat girl or any sort of beastfolk to be part of the family?! It would’ve been one helluva epic family that would rival the Munsters or Addams Family. But alas as I have already pointed out, too many cooks spoil the broth. Even in some episodes I feel that when Azusa goes on a journey, not all of them follow as some will stay back home. I suppose this is to downsize and cut down unnecessary waste of time and energy. You know, excess baggage? Hence home is the only place where all of them are almost guaranteed to be around. Except maybe for Beelzebub. Still got to be back at Vanzeld.

I believe Halkara’s character is written purposely as a dumb blonde. In many cases, she often gets into trouble because of her own stupidity or clumsiness. They try to distract us with those boobs but she is the epitome of what constitutes a dumb blonde at least for this series. She means well but I guess there is no one else suitable to play the joker and comic relief than her. I mean take a look at the slime sisters. They’re playing poker face most of the time and seeing their role as Azusa’s daughters, don’t want these innocent slime children to be the fall guys or rather fall girls, right? Then we already have the eternally bickering rivalry between Laika and Flatorte. Laika is more responsible and although Flatorte is an idiot, she isn’t as dumb as that elf girl. Beelzebub is cool and calm but she too has her own pitfalls. But seeing she is a high ranking demon, she is definitely not on the same level of dumb blondeness as Halkara. Of course there is this running joke that whenever Azusa needs to emergency summon her, she’ll end up wet in her bathroom. But recently Beelzebub has gotten used to all that and comes prepared to enjoy the bath. If you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em? Say, what ever happened to Fighter Slime? I thought she became Beelzebub’s student or something? Yeah, we saw her bugging Beelzebub in the final episode at the coffee shop but that didn’t really do anything much. Lastly, the latest edition to Azusa’s family, Rosalie. I don’t know it was that easy to bend the rules for a bound ghost to now be free. But if you need some delinquent girl character, she is that character. Not much of an impact in the overall series if you ask me but I guess she makes Azusa’s family a whole. So considering everyone here, who else is more fitting to play the part of the joker? Yup, looking at you Halkara? Don’t cry, because we actually love you for it! So continue on being you!

The many other characters that only appear once or twice for that certain episode, I have a feeling that one day in the future when they all meet up again, they might become part of Azusa’s family. I might be wrong, but I just can’t help with this feeling. From Eno to Kuku and those other slime profession girls, one day they’ll all just become part of Azusa’s clan. Aside humans, these non-human creatures live very long lives so they can be by Azusa’s side for centuries to come. Who knows, even Pecora might really make Azusa her big sister and then Azusa will become the leader of the demon world! Woah! Suddenly she gains the entire demonic clan as her fellow members! And then she’ll rule the whole world and everybody is now her family! Oh wow. Getting too far ahead of myself, am I? But just imagine, the entire world is your family. How cool is that?!

The art and animation are okay. Everything here looks bright and colourful. Like as though this show is intended for younger audiences. Visually, that is. Also, all the characters here look super cute so can I actually call this cute girls doing cute things genre? This anime is done by Revoroot, a relatively new and obscure anime studio who so far only did Babylon and FLCL Alternative (joint wit Nut and Production I.G).

It is splendid to hear Aoi Yuuki voicing in a recognizable role. This might be old nagging news because for quite a while I haven’t been hearing her cute trademark voice ever since she has been voicing young male characters that need her to sound a bit low and rough (still blaming Aho Girl for that!). So as Azusa, she is back in familiar territory that I am very delighted with. Making my day and double delight is Yukari Tamura who voices Pecora. Again, she is back in her totally squeaky high pitch trademark cutie voice. I don’t know what the last show was that I have seen her having her voice the entirety of a character that uses this trademark voice of hers. It is the kind of voice that I always envisioned her in and loved her as. I wish I could hear more of this style of voice in future shows. Damn, I’m getting old, am I? And the other one I recognized is the goddess who reincarnated Azusa into this world, is voiced by good ol’ Kikuko Inoue.

The other casts are Sayaka Harada as Halkara (Porta in Okaa-san Online), Kaede Hondo as Laika (Natsuki in Val x Love), Sayaka Senbongi as Falfa (Shuna in Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken), Minami Tanaka as Shalsha (Mary in Kakegurui), Manami Numakura as Beelzebub (Narberal in Overlord), Azumi Waki as Flatorte (Special Week in Uma Musume: Pretty Derby), Riho Sugiyama as Rosalie (Tarua in Conception), Ari Ozawa as Vania (Lynn in Plunderer), Miku Itou as Fatla (Miku in Go-toubun No Hanayome), Hikaru Tohno as Eno (Howan in Show By Rock!! Mashumairesh), Kotori Koiwai as Kuku (Renge in Non Non Biyori) and Sayaka Kikuchi as Natalie (Snow in Sentouin Hakenshimasu). More Aoi Yuuki cuteness as she sings the opening theme, Gudafuwa Everyday. I don’t know what she is talking or rapping so fast and the entire song sounds like one messy chaotic frenzy. But that weird combo actually makes Aoi Yuuki sound so cute!!! As for the ending theme, it is Viewtiful Days by Azumi Waki. Sounds rather okay as a rock outfit, I guess it’s not that bad but not the kind that I would like to hear again immediately.

Overall, this show is fun and while it may not be the best isekai theme out there (personally I still think Shinchou Yuusha is still the best one out there), it is all good clean fun for those who want to enjoy some funny stuffs without having to worry too much about the plot or story. Otherwise, if you are at the other end of the spectrum, you’ll view this as another bland generic isekai garbage. After all, it is unbelievable one can max out your stats after 300 years of defeating the same lowly slimes, day after day. Yeah, consistency is key! We must be so envious, huh? I’m sure most of us in real life, the same is applicable. Except that many of us maxed out the wrong stats! I know, I could’ve been a great doctor, lawyer, engineer or politician but I became an otaku instead. That’s what happened when I killed time instead of killing slimes… Sheesh…
