That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime movie arrives in 2023
In September 2021, following the conclusion of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime season 2, it was announced that the franchise’s next project would be a theatrical movie.
The film is titled “Scarlet Bonds” and is set to premiere in Japanese theatres in November 2022 and is penned to be an original storyline from the series’ original author Fuse.
“A long-running conspiracy is swirling over a mysterious power known as “Queen” in Raja, a small country west of Tempest. When a slime who evolved into a Demon Lord named Rimuru Tempest crosses paths with Hiiro, a survivor of the Ogre race, an incredible adventure packed with new characters begins. The power of bonds will be put to the test!” – Scarlet Bonds synopsis, via Crunchyroll.
The film’s website also shared this description of Hiiro: “Suddenly, he appears in front of Rimuru and the others in the form of a demon and calls himself Hiiro. One of his horns is broken, and he carries a long sword that is as long as he is. Hiiro is a survivor of the Ogre Village and he was once the big brother of Benimari and his friends…”
Thankfully, Crunchyroll has just confirmed that they will be bringing the That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: Scarlet Bonds movie to cinemas around the world (excluding Asia) in early 2023.
A specific release window has sadly not been revealed, but fans can expect the film to open in early-February 2023, in accordance with the typical delay between the domestic and international premiere.
