Second film in the saga: Rimuru and his companions are invited by the Sorcerous Dynasty of Thalion, but their rest on a private resort island is cut short by the arrival of a mysterious girl.
The film "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: The Tears of the Blue Sea," directed by Yasuhito Kikuchi for studio 8-Bit, brings the popular isekai franchise to the big screen with an original story set after the founding of the Federation. The plot follows Rimuru and his allies during a vacation on the private island of the elven empress Elmesia, where the arrival of the mysterious Yura turns their relaxation into a new crisis to face. The movie surprises with its narrative choice of sidelining protagonist Rimuru to give space to characters like Gobuta, who proves to be a credible hero, and with a clear upgrade in visual quality, especially in the marine and action sequences.
Distributed in Italy by Crunchyroll in April 2026, the film stands as a successful experiment, accessible even to new viewers but particularly appreciated by fans for its deeper exploration of secondary characters.
