That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: The Movie – Scarlet Bond,[a] often shortened to Tensura: The Movie – Scarlet Bond,[b] is a 2022 Japanese animated film based on the light novel series That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime by Fuse [ja]. 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.

Plot

Following their desertion from Clayman's army, an Ogre and his fellow mercenaries are attacked by Clayman's soldiers, whose leader Yamza severely injures the Ogre. He is found by the people of the Kingdom of Raja and is given the name "Hiiro" by its queen Towa to recover from his injuries. Ten days later, Hiiro escapes Raja to return to the Ogre Village, only to find it destroyed by the Orcs. Wanting vengeance against the Orcs, Hiiro returns to Raja four days later and swears loyalty to Towa.

Rimuru, who recently defeated Clayman and has been recognized by other Demon Lords as one of their own, is informed by Souei of an attack toward Geld and his fellow Orcs. The Orcs are fighting against Hiiro and his two Raja subordinates, during which Geld learns that Hiiro seeks revenge against his race, so he drops his weapons and accepts his fate of being killed by him. However, Benimaru saves Geld and pacifies Hiiro, who actually is his childhood friend. Hiiro reunites with Benimaru, Shion, Shuna, Hakuro, Souei, and Kurobe, and reconciles with Geld after learning that the Orcs are no longer their enemies. During a feast hosted by Rimuru, Hiiro reveals that he had arrived at the Jura Tempest Federation as Raja's messenger to ask permission to cultivate a part of the Great Jura Forest to serve as a food source for the kingdom. He informs that Towa is suffering from Curse Poison, the effect of using the power of her tiara to purify a lake filled with toxins from the country's gold mines. Agreeing to help, Rimuru decides to visit the kingdom.

Rimuru, Benimaru, Shion, Shuna, and Ranga arrive at Raja. After analyzing her condition, Rimuru gives Towa honey from Tempest to restore part of her health. At the lake, Rimuru reveals to Towa that the toxins are not from mines, as he then splits the lake into two to reveal a hidden structure with an old magic circle that produces the toxin and destroys it. These events have angered Lacua, the merchant behind the poisoning, and schemes to create another disaster to earn praise from the Primordial demon Violet. The lake is poisoned again, so Towa uses her tiara to purify it, resulting in her health deteriorating. A neighboring country takes advantage of her worsening condition to attack Raja and seize the gold that the kingdom mined. Having learned of the news about the encroaching enemy, Rimuru mobilizes his allies, while Diablo heads out to meet with Violet, who created the tiara and the magic circle at the lake.

Hiiro is tricked by Lacua to ingest a Curse Orb, being told that it is for transferring Towa's soul to his healthy body, and is fed by him with memories of his village being destroyed to fuel his transformation. Rimuru chases after Lacua, while Benimaru fights Hiiro and Shuna protects Towa. Meanwhile, Diablo confronts Violet, who reveals that she had given the tiara to a previous queen of Raja as part of a game with Raja's royal line in which if the possessor is fully inflicted by the Curse Poison, then she can take over the body and be physically reborn. After failing to defeat him, Violet agrees to Diablo's terms of leaving Raja alone while also voiding the contract with Towa and her line after learning that Lacua interfered with her game against her wishes instead of observing only, severing ties with him. At Raja, Rimuru defeats Lacua, who blows himself up to destroy everything around him. However, the explosion is contained by Rimuru. Hiiro removes the orb from his body and destroy it. Raja's doctor, who is actually in allegiance with Lacua, is killed by Ranga.

Towa uses the full power of the tiara to revive Hiiro from the Curse Orb, causing her body to be covered by the Curse Poison and vanish. However, Violet revives Towa after voiding the game as an apology for her subordinate's actions. While celebrating, Rimuru offers the kingdom's ministers help in rebuilding Raja in exchange for Tempest buying their iron ore. Rimuru returns to Tempest, finds it partially destroyed after Veldora and Milim played together, and punishes them before collapsing from exhaustion.

Production

Initial talks for an anime film version of the light novel series That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime began in the second half of 2019.[14] Light novel series author Fuse [ja] was informed about this project during the premiere of the third original animation DVD (OAD) of the anime television series on January 26, 2020. He was initially opposed to the idea of continuing the story that was seen in the second season with a film and then the latter would be followed by a third season, believing that there "would be a missing link in the TV series", and had shown hesitation in making an original story that would not connect to the main one.[14] Bandai Namco Filmworks producer Nobuaki Sugimoto stated that the film based on an original story would help in attracting new fans to continue the series itself, while he affirmed that the main story would remain in a television format.[14] Fuse was formally asked to write a draft for the film in early 2020. The first draft that he submitted was rejected in September 2020 because it was "not really suitable for a film". Fuse then wrote the key lines in two days and submitted it as the plot instead of writing the draft as a novel which a script could be based on because he had no time due to the deadline being set to December 2020.[15] Production on the film began by the end of that year.[15]

The official Twitter account of the anime series announced the film to the public in September 2021.[16] The title of the film was revealed in March 2022 as Gekijōban Tensei Shitara Suraimu Datta Ken: Guren no Kizuna-hen (劇場版 転生したらスライムだった件 紅蓮の絆編).[17][c] The film was also confirmed to be based on an original story drafted by Fuse,[18] which features the character Benimaru's older brother named Hiiro, and a new small country ruled by an unnamed queen and located west of Jura Tempest Federation called Raja (ラージャ).[19] That month, Eight Bit and Bandai Namco Arts were announced to be producing and distributing the film, respectively, while Miho Okasaki, Makoto Furukawa, Megumi Toyoguchi, Tomoaki Maeno, Sayaka Senbongi, M・A・O, Takuya Eguchi, Hōchū Ōtsuka, Junichi Yanagita, Kanehira Yamamoto, Asuna Tomari, Chikahiro Kobayashi, Taro Yamaguchi, Jun Fukushima, and Takahiro Sakurai were set to reprise their roles from the anime series.[19] In June 2022, Crunchyroll licensed the film under the title That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: The Movie – Scarlet Bond.[20]

The name of the queen of Raja was revealed in July 2022 as Towa (トワ).[21][22] In August 2022, Riko Fukumoto joined the cast as Towa, as did Yuma Uchida as Hiiro and Subaru Kimura as Lacua, a peddler who frequently visits Raja.[23] Additionally, the staff working on the film were also announced, including Yasuhito Kikuchi as the director, Kazuyuki Fudeyasu as the screenwriter, Ryōma Ebata as the character designer, Takahiro Kishida as the monster designer, Yūichi Tanaka as the chief animation director, Ayumi Satō as the art director, Yumi Jinguji as the editor, and Hiroshi Satō as the cinematographer, with Bandai Namco Filmworks attached as the distributor.[24] In October 2022, Sekai Yamamoto of the J-pop male group Fantastics from Exile Tribe, in his first voice acting,[25] and the Japanese comedy duo Tom Brown (Hiroki Nunokawa and Michio) were confirmed to be making guest appearances as Fuji, Hiiro's subordinate and assistant, and the Raja miners, respectively.[26] By December 2022, Miyu Tomita was confirmed to be voicing Violet.[27] That month, Crunchyroll revealed Jonah Scott as the English dub for Hiiro.[28]

Music

In August 2022, Hitoshi Fujima was announced to be composing That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: The Movie – Scarlet Bond.[24] In September 2022, MindaRyn was announced to be performing the theme song of the film titled "Make Me Feel Better", while True and Stereo Dive Foundation were also announced to be performing the insert songs "Jōka" (浄歌, lit. 'Purifying Song'[29] or 'A Sacred Song'[30]) and "Sparkles", respectively.[29] The album Eternal Bond (永遠の絆, Eien no Kizuna), which includes the three songs, and the original soundtrack album, titled Tensei Shitara Eiga no Sound Track Datta Ken (転生したら映画の音楽だった件), were released in Japan on November 25, 2022.[31]

Critical response

The review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes reported an approval rating of 53% with an average rating of 5.8/10, based on 15 reviews.[68] On Metacritic, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: The Movie – Scarlet Bond has a weighted average score of 41 out of 100, based on 5 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".[69] Audiences polled by PostTrak reported 77% of audience members gave the film a positive score, with 58% saying they would definitely recommend it.[67]

Demelza of Anime UK News gave the film a score of 7 out of 10, feeling that it was "a fun installment of the series, but it's not without issues and certainly isn't something you can enjoy without having kept up to date with the TV series. It's an interesting story that's held back by being divorced from the canon material and unable to leave any lasting effects." She lauded the well-written stories of Hiiro and Towa, the animation done by Eight Bit which she felt was "just as good as its TV counterparts", the well-fit new music compositions, and the "energetic" theme song. However, she criticized how Rimuru was written in the film, feeling that the character was "far more powerful than anyone else in this story and that overshadows the struggles Hiiro faces" and wishing he "had stayed behind in Tempest and just sent the group of Ogres by themselves, which would have made for more compelling drama in the end."[70] Richard Eisenbeis at Anime News Network graded the film "C+", feeling that it was "above average as far as original, tie-in anime films go. There were apparent attempts to connect the movie in a meaningful way to both the past and future of the story, and the film's newly created lead, Hiiro, is a character worth exploring. But other than that, everything about the film is forgettable, from the villains and the one-off heroine to the plot and setting." Eisenbeis praised the film for depicting a "justifiable" motives of Hiiro, its visual that he felt was "a step up from the TV series", and the theme song. However, he criticized how Rimuru was utilized in the film, feeling that the character was "so powerful he gets in the way of the story the film wants to tell", and the music for being "forgettable".[71] Phil Hoad of The Guardian gave the film 3 out of 5 stars, feeling that it was similar to "having the contents of a Dungeons & Dragons manual screamed at you by your 12-year-old nephew after a Haribo binge – but it's kind of fun trying to keep up." Hoad felt that the film being in medias res was "not helpful", but he noted it had "crunchily animated brawls every five minutes and a playful embrace of sword'n'sorcery hokum that gives it a little lift" and found a "po-faced mope of a lead" in Hiiro.[72]

Wendy Ide of The Observer gave the film 2 out of 5 stars, believing that familiarity with the previous adaptations of the source material was needed to understand the work. Ide felt the film was "visually striking, and at times somewhat overwhelming."[73] Richard Whittaker at The Austin Chronicle also gave the film 2 out of 5 stars, feeling that it "collapses into the hourlong, supposedly epic but ultimately low-stakes multifront battle de rigueur in too much anime right now." Whittaker also felt that the film was not accessible to first-time viewers and would not make long-term fans satisfy. He criticized the "clumsy" comedy, "airless" script about Towa's poisoning, and cramming of cameos for every background characters, believing the film "might have been better as a season."[74] Simon Abrams of TheWrap felt the film was "underwhelming because its creators don't seem to know how to translate their show's ever-mutating high-concept appeal into a feature-length movie." Abrams also felt the film did not compare well with the light novel, noted how Rimuru was written as a secondary role in his film, and found the characters Hiiro and Towa were not meshing well with the recurring characters.[75]
