How to watch the That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime anime in order

A salaryman is reincarnated as a slime and builds a monster nation in this hit isekai. With seasons, a spin-off, and a film, here's the order to watch it all.

Based on Fuse's light novels, That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime follows Satoru Mikami, who is reborn in a fantasy world as a slime named Rimuru Tempest. With overpowered abilities and a knack for diplomacy, Rimuru sets out to build a thriving nation of monsters.

πŸ• Release Order

Release order keeps Rimuru's nation-building saga on track, including the comedic spin-off and the canonical film.

  1. That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (Season 1, 2018)
  2. The Slime Diaries (spin-off, 2021)
  3. That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 2 (2021)
  4. That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime the Movie: Scarlet Bond (2022)
  5. That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 3 (2024)

The Slime Diaries is a slice-of-life side story, so a story-first rewatch shifts it out of the main path.

πŸ“– Story Chronology

For chronology, follow the main seasons and place the movie after Season 2; The Slime Diaries is optional filler.

  1. That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime (Season 1, 2018)
  2. That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 2 (2021)
  3. That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime the Movie: Scarlet Bond (2022)
  4. That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 3 (2024)
  5. The Slime Diaries (spin-off, 2021) β€” optional slice-of-life

Which Order Should You Choose?

Newcomers should follow release order: Season 1, then Season 2, with Scarlet Bond serving as a canon side adventure before Season 3. The Slime Diaries is a relaxing spin-off you can watch anytime after Season 1. Stick to the main entries and you won't miss a beat of Rimuru's rise.
