More That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime anime will be made. Following the end of the third season, it has been announced that there will not just a fourth season, but a second anime movie as well.
More details about the new productions will come later.
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime is based on Taiki Kawakami‘s Kodansha-published manga adaptation of Fuse’s isekai fantasy light novels, which is serialized in Monthly Shonen Sirius and published under the Sirius KC label. The manga began in 2015 and has 27 tankoubon volumes as of September 2024. Kodansha USA describes the premise as:
As players of Monster Hunter and Dungeons & Dragons know, the slime is not exactly the king of the fantasy monsters. So when a 37-year-old Tokyo salaryman dies and wakes up in a world of dragons and magic, he’s a little disappointed to find he’s become a blind, boneless slime monster.
Mikami’s middle age hasn’t gone as he planned: He never found a girlfriend, he got stuck in a dead-end job, and he was abruptly stabbed to death in the street at 37. So when he wakes up in a new world straight out of a fantasy RPG, he’s disappointed but not exactly surprised to find that he’s not a knight or a wizard but a blind slime demon. But there are chances for even a slime to become a hero…
The first two seasons of the anime premiered in 2018 and 2019, while That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 3 premiered in April 2024 and ran for 24 episodes. The first movie, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: Scarlet Bond, had its Japanese debut in November 2022, and was followed a year later by an OVA based on the short story that inspired the movie. A spin-off titled The Slime Diaries premiered in 2021.
