The announcement of the Spring 2024 launch of the third season of the That Time I Got Reincarnated As a Slime TV anime series was made at the last showing of the That Time I Got Reincarnated As a Slime: Scarlet Bond film. The third season of the Scarlet Bond anime was announced at the film’s premiere, and it’s scheduled 2024 airing through NTV and its associated networks were revealed over the weekend. A video teaser was used to introduce the third season, with no more details provided at the time. After a successful run in Japan, the Scarlet Bond film is continuing its worldwide run, where it is expected to make $1.4 million in its debut weekend in the United States.
The second season of the anime will be released on Blu-ray, and the franchise has also announced a three-part Original Net Animation (ONA) called That Time I Was Reincarnated as a Slime: Coleus’ Dream. Taiki Kawakami’s manga adaptation of Fuse and Mitz Vah’s original light novel series first published on the Shsetsuka ni Naru website on February 20, 2013, will be the basis for an anime adaptation in 2023, marking the franchise’s tenth anniversary. The first season of the anime, which is based on the That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime manga, aired for a total of 24 episodes between October 2018 and March 2019. The second season will consist of two 12-episode courses, the first airing from January to March 2021 and the second from July to September 2021.
8bit created both seasons of BLUE LOCK and The Irregular at Magic High School, which were broadcast on Crunchyroll in real-time while an English dub was created by Funimation. On November 25th, the Scarlet Bond film, made by the same company that animated the TV series, premiered in Japan. There were premieres for the film on January 18 in the UK and Ireland, January 19 in Australia, January 20 in the US and Canada, and January 26 in Mexico. Scarlet Bond will be released throughout the Middle East, Europe, South Africa, and Central and South America, among other regions; specific release dates have not yet been disclosed.
Many events have been held to mark the 10th anniversary of the original light novels by Fuse, which launched the That Time I Got Reincarnated As a Slime series. Fuse’s initial idea for the Scarlet Bond film was heavily influenced by Coleus’ Dream, the second instalment of the celebrations commemorating the film’s tenth anniversary. The Coleus Dream ONA will be launched this fall, and the third season of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime will debut in the spring of 2024, making this a highly busy time for the brand.
