Long Version:
Slime 300 is another Isekai with Slimes being a main theme. Oh boy, how many anime have we seen with this combo in the past 12 months. We already have By the Grace of the Gods, Tensura Slime and Slime Diaries. This is the 4th anime with this combination. What makes this anime different? The MC, Azusa Aizawa is ridiculously OP thanks to grinding for 300 years and the fact 90% of the population of the world is female. Yeah, the premise of the anime is I guess inspired by Tensura Slime on the first episode alone. I think the reason this anime is slightly slept on is because of its genre and theme being done to death for the year.
The plot mostly consists of the MC helping people after the events of knowing that she is max level. The other characters do a semi-decent job in separating themselves. There is a red dragon maid, 2 slime lollis, a dumb blonde elf that is screaming fan service, a demon, a ghost, and a blue dragon maid. After their episodes, they kinda blend in with the background. Character development is kind of thin. It's mostly on the Character of the Day and they only have 1 episode to have that. There is a lesson on every episode in one way or another. Nothing groundbreaking however.
What it excels on is the looks, the atmosphere and some of the comedy.
The anime looks fine. Very colorful. It is also very comfy and laid back. Well, not as much as Laid Back Camp which I think is ok. Voice acting is good in both English and Japanese. If I have to nitpick, it's Ep. 11. It's something to do with how the VAs handle a certain character in a certain state (Spoilers if I tell you who is affected). It's a small annoyance but it didn't detract from my enjoyment. The comedy works here. The funniest parts are the one when they exaggerate certain actions. Not all jokes land though.
The music and sound is at best decent. It's neither good nor bad to be honest. Honorable mention is the sound effects. They replaced real sounds with a human imitating the sound which makes it somewhat funny.
This anime is a lot of fun to watch. If you want an anime that isn't plot heavy, somewhat laid back and set in a Dragon Quest-like world, you should watch this. Though if you have watched a lot of Isekai anime, this does not break new ground at all and should skip this. Maybe I could have put a more positive opinion if it wasn't in the middle of the slime-themed Isekais. Despite all that, I would like a Season 2 of this anime since there's still material that isn't adapted yet and it is still ongoing.
