RE: Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken Adaptation Style
I have faith in 8bit's capabilities, though I haven't seen the source material for this, the first episode already proved to be more remarkable than its other counterpart from the same genre (smartphone boy, death march, smartphone boy v2.0) even though the basic premise remains almost identical with the exception that this one got a slime as a protagonist. I guess it speaks to the capability of the studio to deliver.
Another reason why I am confident with 8bit is because of their show last season, Yama no Susume, that demonstrated their excellent animation and great attention to details, the fact that they animate movements that one could write off as trivial is what makes those movements more satisfying to watch.

I think what made me the wariest about the studio was their previous adaptation of Knights and Magic. This was probably unfair to them since it was a pretty faithful adaptation, but it just wasn't fun at all compared to reading the light novel.
The Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken adaptation has been much more imaginative, but there are also quite a few changes to the narrative that feel either useless or confusing. What really confuses me is why the opening references so far into the story.
I was already surprised by the anime adapting so much content. But are you telling me that this 24 episode anime isn't going to have a second opening? Anything that bothers me is mostly nitpicky, and I still think it's going to be one of the best isekai anime adaptations of all time.
That's understandable, I felt that the show was rushed and can't get a good hold of its pacing but regarding this one, if I were to compare this one's pilot episode with the ever growing isekai anime shows, it will rank fairly high and only Re:zero and SAO's first season comes to my mind that clinches it (I am referring to the first episode only).
And yes, the opening song is the biggest spoiler so far, though I gotta admit that the animation sequence is total eye candy.
Didn't know it will have 24 episodes, this definitely is going to be another powerhouse this season alongside the controversial Goblin Slayer, fan favorite to hate/ love SAO 3 and the much awaited Index 3.
