That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime the Movie: Tears of the Azure Sea

8/10

Wish I could’ve watched this at the cinema, but unfortunately it was playing for only a week.

Rated: 7.6/10 ⭐️

I wanted a fun anime fix to catch up on Rimuru’s story before season four. I honestly love this; it brings gorgeous visuals and a surprisingly emotional Gobta arc.

What Worked:
• The CGI water-physics in Kaien look stunning, giving a fresh vibe.
• Gobta’s major spotlight and romantic subplot honestly cracked me up.
• Rimuru’s massive sky attack to take down Zodon is pure anime hype.

The Friction:
• Zodon’s double-cross felt predictable and the exposition really dragged for me.
• With so many overpowered friends around, side characters faded into the background.
• Yura dissolving into bubbles felt abrupt; I honestly just wanted her to stay.

Verdict:
Watch for a gorgeous, action-packed bridge story. Skip if filler arcs annoy you.
