The anime adaptation of the manga That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime from Fuse and Mitz Vah got underway in Japan with its October 1st, 2018 premiere and we learned not long after that more was coming. One of those things is The Slime Diaries: That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, which was bumped as well from its January 2021 date to April 2021 because of the Pandemic.
