The second That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime anime movie has received a February 2026 release window and a teaser visual featuring Rimuru Tempest under the ocean. It was also revealed that the movie’s subtitle is Soukai no Namida-hen (Tears of the Blue Sea Arc).
The existence of a second That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime movie (following 2022’s That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: Scarlet Bond) was announced in September 2024 along with a fourth season. The first three seasons premiered in 2018, 2019, and 2024. There is also a spin-off titled The Slime Diaries and an OVA based on the short story that inspired the Scarlet Bond movie.
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 28 tankoubon volumes as of January 2025.
Synopsis:
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…
