That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime the Movie: Scarlet Bond

It's a shame, the movie is very bad compared to the amazing tv series.

I was very excited for the movie because I'm a very big fan of the series and I'll give a 1000/10 for the tv series, but it turns out the movie wasn't that good.

The MC didn't get much screen time, I believe all of the people and I wanted to see Rimuru on action, wanted to see what will Rimuru do and what happen after season 2, since there's a lot of amazing things happen in Season 1 & 2, i thought the movie will be as great as the tv series. But this movie is more of a Special episode version than a Movie, this doesn't supposed to be a movie.

They give too much screen time to new character and it even took like 1 hour just to show another character story, and the action or the fight scene is too plain and there's not much action going on.

At the end when Rimuru fighting the villain, I thought there's gonna be a big fighting scene happening since Rimuru is the one that fighting, but it only took Rimuru 2 seconds to finish the fighting and using beelzebub skill, and that's it.

I've been a big fan of the series, and the movie is a perfect bridge between the 2nd and upcoming 3rd season. Rimuru is the best protagonist possible. His story is a common one; An overpowered main character who easily solves problems. What makes this so compelling is not what he does, but the character he displays. Rimuru helps people because he wants to, but he also encourages others to step up and become better people by example. He succeeds because he empowers others, and is trusted and loved by his friends, allies, and subordinates. Without knowing the background of the character and his friends, no one could possibly understand how deeply the relationships built over time and through suffering dictate the flow of the story. Sadly, I can't understand why the only other review posted is by someone who never bothered to watch the series. Ill admit that the larger themes and fun might not be obvious under those circumstances. The fans can do better!

Let's get on on an adventure of reviewing with rimuru san!

Sypnosis : it's about our fav mc, rimuru tempest and a new character from ogre clan that's facing an entire new problem.

Pros: it's a japanese isekai movie. Of course the animation, soundtrack, sound effects, fight scene, choreography of it will be good and great. The voice actor, timing and the best part.. when they retconning, u didn't feel weird cus it's isekai, shii should be like that.

Cons: it's isekai so the ending kinda typical. Overpowered mc, overpowered sidekick n overconfident opponent. Recipe for a typical isekai anime. Also, idk about the connectivity of it. Is this fillers or this'll be included in the main plot.

Overall, a great anime to watch with other avid of the shows. It's a pillow gripping film and a good enjoyable movie that can be watch in cinema. Recommendable to watch w your anime buddies.

I was surprised that the movie is so good and I loved it. The animations are as good as the music . The characters are well written and the development of them is really good. The movie has some funny and sad and combative scenes. But I would recommend watching the series first, how many jokes you only understand after watching the series. The jokes in the films are sometimes easy to see, or sometimes they're in the background. I loved the series and it was good too but the movie is much much better. I would recommend watching the film in a group who have watched the series or love anime but you can also watch it alone.

I finished Scarlet Bond, and here are my thoughts! I was in awe when the new character (Hiiro) was introduced and was even amazed about the problem, the poisoned land, and the tiara's mystery tied to the royal family and how it all ties to the Goddess (AKA the Demon Primordial Violet herself). Interestingly, the animation was exquisite (aside from a few anatomical distortions), but the plot seemed rushed in contrast. How can I say that? Two things, even though the characters' emotions and actions look realistic and justifiable. The execution of how the resolution looked very forced. For that long movie, it is sad that some scenes were wasted on unnecessary talks (of course it is okay if it is put in the series). Secondly, the build-up towards the resolution. We've known Rimuru already and it is very unlikely that he prolongs the end of his battles with his enemies (but if they are powerful, that's okay. However, his battle with Lacua looks awkward to me as the viewer. Well, maybe because the movie forced to include the part where Lacua gulps the orb or that Rimuru is still recovering his drained magical from his fight with Clayman previously (which is extravagantly unlikely knowing he has evolved into a higher magical being now). It is also quite disappointing when he just finished all the other obligations and knew that he has to go to the dying Hiiro right away but that scene of them talking was just so long and I am like imagining Rimuru doing a moonwalk with Ranga because of how slow they are to get there. Maybe it is because of how great Rimuru is in my head that I think he can swallow them and absorb the problem then release them once it is done, Beelzebub. Of course, I know he can, but the movie just forces it to not do that for the reason of being foolishly cringed. Get the Tiara to wish Hiiro to resurrect and then when Tora crumbled, the Goddess gave her her life back. Like, Rimuru/Raphael has the secret art of "resurrection" now, right? As long as there is enough magicule. Speaking of cringe, I am getting tired now of the other villainous characters looking down at Rimuru or when Spirit Queen entered, and they (the ministers) belittled her. Get over it. But, a silver lining, she always listens because she showed up right away. Also, my attention dissipated when the main leads kept on dying and then getting alive again. Nonetheless, I am excited to watch the 3rd Season and maybe even read the manga even though how busy I am! Love lots to everyone who worked on this series!
