There’s like three episodes spent on Ryouma setting up a laundry business with his slimes, and it all just happens without any narrative twist or anything. We watch him go to some merchant lady to get funding, acquire a building and renovate it, open the business, hire some staff, and so on. It’s about as interesting as watching someone actually start a laundromat. I know you can say it’s slice of life, and that it’s not supposed to be some sort of edge-of-your seat Death Note thriller, but again I go back to the issue of the characters. Non Non Biyori is just a story about some girls going to school, but I like the characters and their interactions, which is what makes it a successful slice-of-life show. In Kami-tachi for the duration of this “Laundry Arc” we mostly just hear characters tell Ryouma how great his business will be and how they can’t wait to use it. I get no sense of characterization or desire be a part of this world where everyone seems to exist only to praise Ryouma.
There’s not much to say other than that. The world is uninspired, of course, though they do sometimes decide to bore us with pointless lore factoids about the different slimes and such. The music was forgettable, the art and animation was serviceable but bland – with the notable exception of the crappy CGI horses – and the voice acting was similarly generic. And I mean I don’t think anyone was expecting otherwise.
