That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime is commonly regarded as one of the best isekai anime around, with a fairly close adaptation of the light novels even in the slower bits, with no signs of stopping after season 3. As confirmed by the That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime X (formerly Twitter) , the hit anime will soon return for season 4 and its second anime movie in the franchise. With the season 3 finale releasing on September 27, 2024, this continues the trend of popular new anime, confirming an immediate return of its next installments.
Rimuru's adventures have so far carried viewers through to the ninth volume of the light novels, and despite some issues with the pacing, fans can agree that it's a faithful adaptation. With the series continuing to carry the banner as one of the top isekai anime of a generation increasingly saturated with it, this comes as a welcome development. As details are yet to be fully fleshed out for That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime's film adaptation, it's best to stay tuned for updates while waiting for the newly confirmed season 4.
What Fans Can Expect From That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 4
The Story Continues to Adapt the Long-Running Light Novels
With season 4's confirmation, fans can reasonably expect adaptations of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime volume #10 and beyond, with the light novels still leaving plenty of ground for future anime seasons. With Rimuru setting up a human and monster "co-prosperity sphere" and Tempest's Opening Festival concluding, the protagonist sets their sights on the Council of the West. Given the recent season's pacing of 7–10 episodes per volume, one can reasonably expect volumes #10-12 to be adapted in That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime season 4.
Conflict will brew soon during season 4, with even volume #10, The Majin Behind the Scenes, indicating Rimuru's bid to the Council will meet opposition. But beyond these initial episodes, more conspiracies lie in wait in That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime season 4, with demon lords pursuing those close to Rimuru as a slight tease of more tense conflicts ahead. Perhaps the most exciting aspect of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime is getting a fourth season and a second movie, which is a more obvious answer.
Why That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime Season 4 Will Be A Big Deal
A Likely Return to Form for the Series
With much of the third season buried under exposition and feeling like it drags in spots, fans who have read the corresponding light novels are excited about the action picking up in season 4. However, the series getting quick confirmations of new projects following the conclusion of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime season 3 means fans are reasonably hopeful that a full adaptation, with payoffs for their patience, is imminent. That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime doesn't face the same woes other popular series like Black Clover face regarding confirmation of new seasons.
