The movie isn’t unusual-looking or surprising, but my daughter assures me fans of the show will not want to miss it. The rest of us will be immersed in warm confusion as things we just don’t understand unspool before us.

Compensating for there being nothing in the way of any Narnia or Harry Potter-style flitting between realities, this film has crunchily animated brawls every five minutes and a playful embrace of sword’n’sorcery hokum that gives it a little lift.

Critics just hate anime lmao. It was a really good movie. I took a few friends with me that had never heard of the franchise and they loved it. Granted, they play video games and like anime. As for a fan of the franchise, it was awesome! They introduced characters earlier than the book series did, but it was well done and not overwhelming to the story. If you've seen the anime or read the books/web novel, then I highly suggest going to see it!

I had never heard of this series before the film came out, but I enjoyed the film immensely. The story is well written, with interesting twists and heroic characters I can respect and root for. There is interesting magic that could be used in a role-playing campaign. There is plenty of action. The humor is handled far better than in a typical Marvel film and is actually amusing. My only complaint is that the stakes could be higher, but this is a good, fun film that I recommend to any fan of anime. If you want some background on the origin of the slime, you can find the first television episode on YouTube or at the CrunchyRoll web site. I hope this film does well at the box office; I'd love to see a sequel.

Scarlet Bond collapses into the hourlong, supposedly epic but ultimately low-stakes multifront battle de rigueur in too much anime right now. That leaves no room to explore the story's most interesting character: Rimiru himself.

It’s visually striking, and at times somewhat overwhelming. Expect numerous sword-based battles, ogres, dragons, ancient curses, distractingly voluptuous supporting characters and, of course, slime.

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: Scarlet Bond mostly lacks the animating unpredictability and sugar-rush energy of its source material.

Since this is one of my favorite anime's of all time, i was excited to see it on the big screen with my friend. While i did enjoy my time watching it, I didn't come away feeling like this had any reason to be a movie rather than maybe 5 episodes. The animation is really good compared to the show so it was a good cinema experience, but in a couple weeks i will ultimately forget most of what happened besides the wack ending.
