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

This is one of the best movies and keep in mind i'm a guy who rarely watches movies espically for anime, I've finished seires like Naruto, Sissors Seven, Demon Slayer, & Etc. I loved the anime but I don't watch the movies because it just doesn't really fit into the story as its supposed to in the anime, demon slayer kinda does that somewhat well i'm not sure how I would rate the story connection but that movie was also good. This movie i've just watched is spledid the storyline makes me think this is at the very end of season 2 and it continues an amazing story that makes me more hyped for season 3! It was fun to watch overall hope you watch it too! If you don't like it try anything else afterall not everything is someones all time fav.

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!

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!

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.

All over this and i still can't get enough of this anime, it's like a fountain that has beautiful maiden i still get invited to it, hahaha not really though is more like the story yes mainly like half of the animes had this reincarnation vibe but the cache here is the slime being so fortunate that he actually found the one thing dreaded by every nation to be his friend, typical anime setting the rest is just there to keep you entertained throughout the whole anime mostly the comedy is primary reason but the show itself has some elements that's why I just stick with. Demon's are something else entirely when it comes to mischief and play, they'll hurt anyone for the sake of fun but one monster stands out to make a difference his name. Just keeping my fingers crossed for more is all.
