There’s more plot and less whimsy than you might expect from a movie called “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime the Movie: Scarlet Bond,” an underwhelming spinoff of the popular anime series adaptation of Fuse and Mitz Vah’s illustrated young-adult “light novel” series. This movie still resembles its source material, given its pile-on of high-fantasy characters and backstories.

Your mileage may vary depending on how much you like watching various ogres, orcs, and other magical creatures cast spells and breathlessly explain their supernatural powers’ range and limits.

Then again, “That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: Scarlet Bond” lacks the light touch and anything-goes humor that usually make the series’s plot seem so fleet and dynamic. This movie doesn’t even focus that much on series lead Rimuru Tempest (voiced by Miho Okasaki), a sentient water-molecule-shaped slime who, in a former life, was a human named Satoru Mikami,...

It hits the ground running with a top-knotted ogre mercenary (voiced by Yuma Uchida) being cut to ribbons in the woods, rescued by Queen Towa (Riko Fukumoto), healed using her life force and given a ritualistic name: he is now known under her service as Hiiro.

Hiiro soon learns that Towa’s waterfall-bordered kingdom Raja is in a tight spot: it’s dependent on gold mining that releases toxins into its lakes, which the queen must neutralise using a magic tiara that in turn poisons her.

It’s a dramatic/ coming-of-age film which narrates the story of two completely different people who’re seeking happiness and completeness. As they’re learning the meaning of love and compassion, they welcome the viewer to a world full of emotional roller coasters and teach him plenty of meaningful things about life.

The plot revolves around Sakura, a young and cheerful girl, who has a fatal pancreatic disease and a short life span. However, she manages to befriend one of her classmates and they spend a lot of time together, living to the fullest. They have a strong chemistry with each other, so romantic love can’t help but make an appearance…
