There are some important distinctions between them though.įor example, the main character of Kumo desu ga stays in the cave for a considerable amount of time by herself while other characters have stories completely separately from her, while Rimuru in Slime is out of the cave fairly early and recruits some followers and makes friends.Īlso in Kumo desu ga, an entire classroom of kids is wiped out and reincarnated into the same world and most of them quickly find each other, unlike Slime in which Rimuru is reincarnated by himself but does find very few other people that are also from his world along his journey.īoth are mostly focused on light-hearted fantasy comedy with energetic and charismatic main characters that steadily evolve and become more and more powerful. They take place in strikingly similar fantasy worlds that include dragons and demon lords, as well as magic schools.
The clear similarities include the main character reincarnating in a fantasy world as a monster, first waking up in a cave, learning abilities by defeating cave monsters and possessing a robotic female voice in their head explaining game/world mechanics and new abilities.
#Animes like overlord series
It's an easy series to sit back and relax to, and enjoy an adorable little slime kick ass and lead a village to greatness. Tensei Slime has all of the politics, comedy and badass moments of Overlord, with none of the torture, sadism or purposely unlikable characters.
While in Overlord, Ainz chooses to use this power to take over the world, Rimuru Tempest is an optimistic, compassionate guy who can't say no when he's asked for help. Inevitably, that kind of combat power grants you political power, and both MC's become leaders of a group that follows them religiously (albeit in very different ways). As a result, the conflicts in both series have to come largely from something other than fight scenes, since we all know who will win the vast majority of the time instead, both series focus on what one would do if they had that kind of power. In both series, the main character is purposely made to be extremely overpowered, to the point of having little to nothing that poses an actual threat to them. "Tensei Slime is just Overlord on a Lawful Good playthrough." >Momonga is an overbearing undead skeleton while Rimuru is a cute harmless looking slime. >The New World in Overlord is more game-like (levels and such) than the world in TenSura >TenSura protagonist dies in his old world whereas Overlord protagonist (most likely) does not. >Momonga is overpowered from the start and has no power growth, whereas Rimuru is overpowered only in his vicinity and has to grow to keep up with increasingly powerful enemies. >Rimuru prioritizes friendship and good ties more than overpowering new acquaintances. >Overlord is more dark themed while TenSura is more light, with occasional dark theme spikes. >Both of them unknowingly/accidentally end up doing incredible things.
>Both have the potential and ability to create a harem, but refrain from doing so for valid and personal reasons. >Both are good natured people but take extreme action when needed. >Both of them build a country from scratch. (Both of them are also named Satoru lol) Both are also virgins who never had a girlfriend.
