What happens

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime the Movie: Scarlet Bond, often shortened to Tensura the Movie: Scarlet Bond, is a 2022 Japanese animated isekai fantasy film based on the light novel series That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime by Fuse. Produced by Eight Bit and distributed by Bandai Namco Filmworks, the film is directed by Yasuhito Kikuchi from a script written by Kazuyuki Fudeyasu, who adapted an original story drafted by Fuse. Set after the second season of the anime television series adaptation, the film follows Hiiro, another surviving member of the Ogre Village, and Towa, the queen of a small country located west of the Jura Tempest Federation. Talks for an anime film version of the light novel series began in 2019, with Fuse being asked to write a draft in early 2020. Production began in late 2020, and the film was revealed to the public in September 2021. The cast reprising their roles for the film were announced in March 2022, with Yuma Uchida, Riko Fukumoto, and Subaru Kimura joining them in August to voice the original characters. That month, the staff involved in the production were revealed. That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime the Movie: Scarlet Bond premiered in Tokyo on November 9, 2022, and was released in Japan on November 25. The film received mixed reviews, with critics praising one of the original characters (Hiiro) and visuals while criticizing how the character Rimuru Tempest was written. It grossed over US$13 million worldwide. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
