I liked the horror mystery arc and the balls to spend an entire episode of just a dialogue between two people and nothing else.

Not just an entire episode, but an episode with a slightly extended runtime because they felt they had to do it enough to get the broadcasters to agree to mess with the schedule and/or advertising.

If you don't mind a slow first half of a show, it ends up great.

Re:Zero undermines the isekai power fantasy in its own way. The guy who made it is a friend with the guy behind Konosuba, and there's similarities in how they treat the MC even though the shows are completely different in tone.

First and foremost though, it's a must-see for people who enjoy time fuckery like Groundhog Day, Stein's;Gate and All You Need Is Kill / Edge of Tomorrow.

it's a bit too torture-porny to me but I do appreciate what it's going for

Not that I'm complaining tbh

not only is the answer "no," they go out of their way to establish that Rimuru literally has no genitalia.

e: Just addressing a general request.

Yeah, I feel like the writing's getting more comfortable with jokes that aren't just physical comedy with Rimuru's gooey figure. Show's rounding into form nicely IMO, consistently pleasant watch. I really hope the show doesn't lose sight of this village building goal we've got right now, building a friendly village of monsters and humans by doing good deeds for people with skills or connections ala Ni No Kuni 2 or something seems like a very charming and likable sort of premise, fits will with the show's overall demeanor.

the goddess misunderstood what he was trying to say and just thought he really really wanted to eat everything he saw and well, slime is actually pretty content with eating things

I recognized more than a few of them, yes. His fantasy was all references, even if certain characters didn't quite match up (his Deedlit was noticeably bustier, for ex)

That skill damage report was A+ gag. And I think anime original to boot, though its been a while since I read that chapter.

Not anime original, no, it was in the Manga. Not sure about the LN/WN but it was every bit as good animated as it was in the manga.

Same, but for the dwarfs. I thought they'd be cave trolls because Rim was expecting majestic, classic dorfs. Then, I thought they were saving the twist for the elves.

Instead of using the daydreams to play jokes on slime-sama, they establish that he's fully on board with this fantasy setting, and that works too.

Well he didn't seem like he was using it much anyway. Zombie attack maybe? It took a big bite and spat it out before leaving disappointed?

I don't think you understand. The slime is perfect and everyone loves him for it. Having the slime around makes everyone's lives better in every way. This was already discussed vis a vis the wolf not holding a grudge.

Considering he saved an unknown number of people(including relatives) with a literal barrel of healing potions, I think even if they were wary, they're playing along.

In the manga he is but Rimiru waves this away by saying 'You made the sword, I just copied it. If it wasn't for your skill these copies wouldn't be so good.'

There's a couple of small details that seem to be getting cut to keep the pace up in the anime and to adjust it's gratuity (example: more MANLY FLEXING, less Slime Sitting in Buxom Beauties' Lap.)

We aren't done with the host club yet, there's a very good chance that a line may make its way into next week's episode.

Not everybody can afford your fancypants resurrection magic, some have to settle with raise dead and what happened to your body while dead.

In slime news, I encountered two new slime mangas, Doctor and Slime(hakase to suraimu) which is highly recommended, and Slime life, which is a brief chapter story of a blackmage and her contracted slimes day to day life. Fun, but incomplete.
