The anime adaptation of the light novels That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime from Fuse and Mitz Vah revealed back in December 2018 that it was going to have some additional life beyond the broadcast side. The official site had revealed that the upcoming 11th volume of the manga adaptation, due out o March 29th, 2019, will have a limited edition release alongside the regular. Unfortunately, the site has now updated to reveal that the limited edition has been canceled and only the regular edition will be coming out. The bundled OAD on DVD has now been set for release with the 13th volume of the manga coming out in December.
Now, another OAD has been scheduled and this one is set to arrive with the 12th volume of the manga that’s out this summer on July 9th, 2019, which is amusing to watch unfold as it’ll be coming out sooner than the OAD that was announced earlier. But it also means two OADs out this year while fans await the second anime series.
Yasuhito Kikuchi directs the TV series based on the series composition by Kazuyuki Fudeyasu. Ryouma Ebata is handling the character designs with 8-Bit working the animation production.
