The release date for That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime Season 2 will be a great day indeed for anime fans. Affectionately known as Slime Isekai or TenSura, the Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken anime has managed to engulf the hearts of fans in a predator-like embrace.
While it could be argued that the isekai anime section has been flooded with stories about overpowered characters gathering up harems in alternate worlds, TenSura is an original take on the concept even though it follows some of the standard tropes of the genre.
Besides the character development being more interesting than usual, the focus is on Japanese man Satoru Mikami awakening in a fantasy realm as a blind slime monster.
Suit-wearing funnyman turned OP slime Rimuru Tempest is hardly a bland potato-kun. Similar to Momonga/Ainz Ooal Gown or Diablo (see our articles on Overlord Season 4 and How NOT to Summon a Demon Lord Season 2), it’s the personality quirks of the main character and how he uses his powers which drive the story.
While some characters exist only for comedic relief, that does not mean the other Slime Isekai characters are simply a cardboard caricature meant for viewers to fill in with their own desires. The anime even goes so far as to emotionally build up characters with backstory only to kill them, which is rare in the first season of any anime.
Thankfully, anime audiences will have plenty of opportunities to watch the characters from That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime grow. The first season was a two-cour anime with 25 episodes that will release in four Blu-Ray volumes starting January 29, 2019.
Oddly enough, the main story for the Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken anime ended with Episode 23 on March 11, 2019. Episode 24: Black and Mask, was a bonus episode. The episode is an original prequel story by author Fuse about the meeting between Diablo (voiced by Takahiro Sakurai) and Conqueror Of Flames Shizue Izawa and it teases the darker nature of Slime Season 2.
The fact that Takahiro Sakurai was hired to voice Diablo was also a large early hint that TenSura Season 2 was planned early on. After all, the voice actor is known for main roles in popular anime like Code Geass, Ace Of Diamond, and Psycho-Pass (which is finally receiving Pyscho-Pass Season 3). Diablo is hardly a bit role since he’ll play a major part in Season 2.
The final episode, Episode 25: Veldora’s Diary, will be a side story from the perspective of the Storm Dragon Veldora Tempest (who is now a huge manga fan). This episode is not anime original since it’s adapting the Veldora’s Diary segments that appear at the end of each manga volume.This article provides everything that is known about That Time I Got Reincarnated As A Slime Season 2 and all related news.
