In the past, when it came to Anime movies, they were a dime a dozen. Most of the time, each animated movie for popular TV series was easily skippable and at times easily forgettable. Over the last decade, Anime movies have become more popular and important to the industry. This is easy to notice after the success of Belle, Demon Slayer: Mugen Train, and Dragon Ball Z: Battle of the Gods. The last two would be converted and have season-based adaptations. Now, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime is set to have its Scarlet Bond movie debut around the globe.
If you are a fan of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, then you were already probably looking forward to That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime the Movie: Scarlet Bond. The Scarlet Bond movie takes place after the events of season 2. If you are not far then we’d recommend skipping the movie because there are spoilers. We also recommend not reading further.

Anime Background
For those unfamiliar with the series, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime follows Mikami Satoru, an average 37-year-old who dies and is reincarnated as you guessed it, a slime. Upon first arriving in a new world, he is blind, deaf, and is a squishy gelatinous ball. Thankfully due to the two special abilities he is born with, “Predator” and “Great Sage,” he is able to survive and grow. With a newfound power, he renames himself, Rimuru Tempest. Using the powers and abilities he gains from absorbing other beings, he creates new bonds. These new bonds lead to creating both friends and foes alike in a diverse new world.
