The official website of the Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken (That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime) anime series revealed on Wednesday additional cast, opening theme song, and a promotional video for the Coleus no Yume (Coleus' Dream) original video animation. All three episodes are scheduled to release on November 1.

Cast
Aslan: Masaya Matsukaze (Hunter x Hunter (2011))
Souther: Atsushi Tamaru (Gakusen Toshi Asterisk)
Zenobia: Natsumi Hioka (Busou Shoujo Machiavellianism)
Paul: Nobuhiko Okamoto (Ao no Exorcist)
Satoru: Takuma Terashima (Log Horizon)

Takuma Terashima (Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken) is performing the opening theme "Hikari Hanatsu," which is previewed in the promotional video below.

Atsushi Nakayama (Absolute Duo) is returning to direct the anime at 8bit. Toshizou Nemoto (Log Horizon) is handling the series composition. Ryouma Ebata (Mahou Sensou) is the character designer. Hitoshi Fujima (Senki Zesshou Symphogear) is composing the music.

The original video animation adapts the story included in the bonus booklet of the second season's Blu-ray release. The story takes place between the first and second seasons, where Rimuru confronts the swirling conspiracies in the Coleus kingdom.

Tensei shitara Slime Datta Ken adapts Taiki Kawakami's manga adaptation of Fuse's adventure fantasy novel series, which began in Shounen Sirius in March 2015. Kodansha published the 24th volume on September 8.

Fuse originally launched the novel on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website in 2013. Micro Magazine began publishing the series in May 2014, with illustrations by Mitz Vah. The 20th volume shipped in September 2022, and the 21st volume is scheduled for an October 30 release.

I was wondering where she came from, but now I see she appears in the movie (which I haven't watched, so I guess that's why I wouldn't recognize the character).

Arigato!

@69S7B4A5A Do they contradict something or are you saying this only because it was written later by LN?

They do not contradict anything but they are also not universally canon.

@69S7B4A5A But doesn't that make it canon at least in the anime universe?

@69S7B4A5A I wanted to know if I should watch the movie because it is listed as a spin-off to the second season.

The movie is not actually Canon as it's an original story written by the author except the character mentioned above so Strictly Speaking, it's not really necessary to mandatorily watch it. Unless of course you are interested in knowing the character more so go for it.
Also if you are going to watch the OVA then I guess you kinda need to watch the movie.

@69S7B4A5A So, if she appears for the first time in a film, is it really needed to understand the plot?

I don't really understand your question but she is a prominent character in the LN so I think Yes as it kind of serves as a backstory which she didn't got in the LN

@Kenchiin I would like to think of it more as Rimuru's adventures with Luminous just being a little part of it.

Sep 27, 2023 12:39 PM by 69S7B4A5A

So this is some kind of side story for Luminous I guess. Does anybody know who's the other girl?

(Use spoiler tags if needed)
