Anime like That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime
The Saga of Tanya the Evil
World War I and II are certainly not time periods that most people would choose to be reborn into, especially if you’re simply a Japanese salaryman.
After failing to believe a self-righteous entity is truly a god, the unnamed salesmen is condemned and reborn into a harsh, war-driven world. Instead of a man, he becomes Tanya Degurechaff: a mage with a gift for the magic that flows through this world.
Comparing Tempest and Tanya von Degurechaff’s past and present lives are interesting, as they feature key similarities and differences. Where Rimuru is more reserved and kind in both lives, Tanya is stubborn and cold-hearted.
Considering the climate both former Japanese businessman now find themselves in, it is probably a good thing that each of them have those specific traits. Contrasting their personalities and stories is a perfect through-line for anime fans to enjoy both series.
