Okay, let's talk about something important. Something that keeps me up at night. Something I feel deeply passionate about. It's about That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime... and its music.
Specifically, its opening and ending themes. Now, don't get me wrong. I adore the show. Rimuru is awesome!
Opening Theme Obsessions
Let's dive right in! Remember the first opening, "Nameless Story"? Yeah, catchy. Super catchy. Like, "stuck-in-my-head-for-days" catchy.
But, and this is a big but, is it the best? I'm not so sure. It's good. Very good. But is it peak anime opening perfection?
Then there's "Meguru Mono". Another banger! Upbeat, energetic, perfect for getting you hyped to watch a slime be overpowered. Seriously, Rimuru Tempest is the GOAT.

I have a confession to make. I might... just might... like "Meguru Mono" a little more. Don't hate me! It's just got that extra "oomph."
Ending Theme Enigmas
Now, the ending themes. These are often overlooked. But not by me! I'm an ending theme enthusiast. I appreciate a good slow jam after all that slime action.
The first ending, "Another colony," is... fine. It's a pleasant song to wind down to. Good, but not great.

“Memories” however hits different. There is just something about the vocals. It feels really emotional compared to the upbeat tempo of the main show.
It’s probably because the anime is about more than just Rimuru's power. It’s about building a community and forging friendship.
An Unpopular Opinion?
Am I the only one who thinks this? Maybe. Probably. The internet seems to love "Nameless Story" the most.

That's cool. I respect that. But "Meguru Mono" just resonates with me on a deeper level. It captures the adventurous spirit of the show.
And "Memories", well, it's just beautiful! I can't help it! It's my heart! It sings for Rimuru. Okay, maybe not for Rimuru.
But you get my point. The music in That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime is fantastic. And some of it is, dare I say it, underrated.

I guess this is just my way of saying, give all the songs a listen. Maybe you'll agree with me. Maybe you'll think I'm crazy. Either way, let's appreciate the slime soundtrack!
Because even a slime deserves good music. Especially a slime as awesome as Rimuru. And that's all folks!
Now if you will excuse me, I am going to listen to Meguru Mono for the 10th time today. Wish me luck!
