Initially, things are pretty grim. He’s blind, deaf, and weak. But by combining his two special abilities, “Predator” and “Great Sage,” the newly named, Rimuru Tempest, will use his blobby powers to gain both friends and foes alike in a diverse new world. The stand-alone story takes place following the ending of Season 2 of the anime series, currently streaming on Crunchyroll.com. More details about the film will be revealed in the coming months.  

Film Synopsis: 

A long-running conspiracy is swirling over a mysterious power wielded by the 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! 

Run time: 110 minutes  

The recent arcs regarding the Demon Lords in That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime has been thrilling to watch and the movie has been an agonizing wait. The latest release will be so exciting to see especially as Rimuru’s evolution has yet to debut his full power. Crunchyroll has blessed fans by starting the new year with the first movie of the franchise and there is a lot of hope that season 3 won’t be far behind. To have Slime available in cinemas will truly offer an experience that only the big screen can offer so ensure you find your closest venue as soon as possible.

Long time fan of Tokusatsu fan since Power Rangers was first released in the 90s. Whereas most Superhero fans grew up with DC Comics and Marvel, my childhood was surrounded by releases from Saban Entertainment such as Beetleborgs, along with anime, and other various fads of the generation. Anime is also a great passion with Digimon, That Time I Was Reincarnated As A Slime, and Demon Slayer being significant favorites. It was the love of both Power Rangers and Digimon that led to the path of becoming a Senior Writer for The Illuminerdi.
