Anime: That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: Scarlet Bond (Movie)

Hi everyone!
Long time no see! lol

So today I went to watch the new and first movie to That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime. 

Be Warned!! :: THERE ARE SPOILERS AHEAD. 
IF YOU DON'T WANNA KNOW WHAT HAPPENS IN THE MOVIE, THEN DO NOT READ ON!

K, thanks! lol~



It centers around Benimaru's "brother" (basically not a blood brother but still an 'aniki' to everyone that lived there. Souei, Beni, Shion, etc...) who they thought died a long time ago when he left the village to work as a mercenary and likewise, their brother now named, Hiiro, thought they were all annihilated when the Orcs destroyed their village. 

Hiiro was saved by the Queen of a country not too far from Tempest and had vowed to kill all the Orcs one day. Time goes by and while out on what seems to be a scout to see if they can save his new country by going to the Jura forest, he sees the Orcs building a new road for Tempest, of course, not knowing they're this whole huge country now and that the Orcs are no longer the evil minions of Clayman, He thinks they're actually destroying and like, stealing from the Jura Forest. 

A fight ensues and when he's about to kill Geld, Benimaru steps in and so... as you can imagine a very cute reunion commences with a small celebration. Then formal meeting and a plea from Hiiro to help save his new country. 

Rimuru goes and does is OP thing, lol, and all seems well, when finally an evil plot is slowly uncovered by Rimuru's "meddling".

It's a very nice addition to the series. I don't think it changes anything or if it's even canon. like.. if it was ever mentioned in an extra somewhere, like... if it was in the web novel, in the official Light Novel, a small side story somewhere in the manga extra booklets or whatnot, It could have even been a radio special, OR.... haha, an actual original story to the universe. But in any case, It was suuper cute and I really enjoyed it. It was funny, although really predictable along with a little annoying with how fucking GULLIBLE Hiiro was at one point that really had me rolling my eyes way too hard. lmao

The ending is a cliche anime ending. They fight the big fight, win the big fight, looks tragic but it all ends in a happily ever after. loll... that's basically it.
But again, it's so fun overall and I still really enjoyed watching this little addition to the series. 
If you're a fan of the series I would definitely say to give it a go. It'll be entertaining.
