Get ready for more slime-tastic adventures! Fans of “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime” can rejoice – Season 3 officially slithers onto screens in spring 2024. The release date was announced on the official Slime Twitter account on February 22, 2023.
What You Need to Know
“That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime” is an anime series based on a popular light novel series of the same name. It’s a captivating blend of action, comedy, and the ever-popular isekai genre. The story follows Rimuru, a slime who’s anything but slow. Rimuru isn’t your average goo monster – he’s a powerful leader who builds the nation of Tempest, a haven where all races can live together in harmony. His ultimate goal? To become a Demon Lord, a powerful entity who can protect his people.
Fans have already enjoyed two action-packed anime seasons and the movie “Slime: The Movie – Scarlet Bond.” The animation team at Studio Eight Bit and director Yasuhito Kikuchi are returning for the third season. This means we can expect the same top-notch quality and thrilling adventures that made Seasons 1 and 2 so addictive.
When Can I Watch It?
Mark your calendars! Season 3 of “That Time I Got Reincarnated As a Slime” officially arrives in Spring 2024. While we don’t have an exact date yet, April 2024 is the earliest we can expect it. Stay tuned for updates, and we’ll be sure to let you know as soon as the official release date is confirmed.
The success of the recent movie, “Scarlet Bond,” is a positive sign for Season 3. The movie’s impressive box office performance in Japan (grossing over ¥1.5 billion or US$11.4 million) demonstrates the series’ enduring popularity. This bodes well for the animation quality of Season 3 – we can expect the same level of amazing animation and thrilling action that made Season 2 an absolute blast.
What Can We Expect in Season 3?
Get ready for even more excitement! Season 3 will explore the aftermath of Rimuru’s victory over the demon lord Clayman. Clayman’s defeat has destabilized the Holy Empire of Lubelius, and one wrong move could trigger a full-scale war. How will Rimuru and his allies navigate this tense situation? Will they be able to find a peaceful resolution, or will they be forced to fight to defend Tempest?
The anime series closely follows the light novel, and Season 3 will likely adapt volumes 7 to 9. With the light novel still ongoing, there’s plenty of source material for even more Slime adventures in future seasons. The light novel series is nearing its conclusion, but there are still 1 to 2 volumes left to be published. This means there’s a good chance we’ll see at least Seasons 4 and 5 to fully adapt the story. Since the anime has only adapted less than a third of the light novel so far, and the series is incredibly popular, there’s a strong possibility of an even bigger anime adaptation in the future. Here’s hoping we get a full adaptation of the light novel!
Can’t Wait? Here’s What To Do
If you’re hungry for more Slime action, don’t despair! You can pick up the manga or light novel series in English and continue the story right where the anime left off. Start with volume 7 for the most seamless transition. The light novel series offers a deeper dive into the world and characters compared to the anime, so it’s a great way to experience the story in even greater detail.
