The Japanese anime television series with the same name was inspired by Fuse’s light novel series of the same name. Eight Bit selected the series for the series, while Yasuhito Kikuchi and Atsushi Nakayama are the co-directors of the anime adaptation. Rimuru, a man who is killed and then reborn as a slime in another universe, is the centre of the story. The series began airing on Tokyo MX and other networks on October 5, 2018, and it concluded with its last episode on March 22, 2019. There are 24 parts in all of this series.
The second season, which ran from January 12 to March 30 of the following year, included a total of twelve episodes. The second 12-episode season aired from July 6, 2021, to September 21, 2021. The programme received positive reviews from both critics and spectators and had an IMDB rating of 8.1/10. There have been several rumours about the third season of That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime. In the meanwhile, here is what we currently understand:
The anime’s final episode of Season 2 aired about nine months ago, but a decision on whether or not it would be renewed for a 3rd season has not yet been made. News of a second season started circulating even before the last episode of season one was published. There have only been 19 volumes released, thus there isn’t a lot of material in the light book series to use for an anime adaptation. It is anticipated that That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime would shortly receive a third season.
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime’s Season 3 Plot
Before we start the new season, let’s take a look back at what happened in the last one. In the season 2 finale episode, we saw Rimuru and Clayman engage in their final battle. Clayman received new abilities after completing an awakening that made him stronger than ever. But when Rimuru prevails in the decisive match, the narrative comes to a happy conclusion. According to preliminary data, if the show’s renewal is granted, we could anticipate it to continue where season one ended. The Octagram Soars’ last episode of Season 2 Beautifully complements the light novel’s last book. The third season is most likely to adapt to Volume 7 because of the speed of the anime and the finish of Season 2.
The official synopsis of Volume 7
The news of Clayman’s defeat by Rimuru has shocked the Holy Empire of Lubelius to its core, especially because Hinata Sakaguchi, the head of the Imperial Guard, recently mounted a daring attack against Rimuru. Things got much worse when a priest Rimuru sent to a crucial gathering of Lubelius power brokers is killed. No stakes are higher for either side than those in Tempest, where one mistake might spark a full-scale conflict.
