Crunchyroll started streaming That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime the Movie: Tears of the Azure Sea on July 31, 2026, in multiple regions including the US and UK, with English subtitles and an English dub. It's the franchise's second film, animated by 8-Bit, and it lands while Season 4 is still airing — the season premiered April 3, 2026 and is planned to run five quarters.
Quick answer
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime is streaming on Crunchyroll, which now carries the TV anime (all four seasons) plus both films, including the new Tears of the Azure Sea (2026, studio 8-Bit) as of July 31, 2026 — subtitled and dubbed. According to SenpaiRanks, the Slime franchise sits on the isekai board's upper tier; Season 4's dual-axis score is still settling as episodes air, so it's a rate-it-yourself pick right now.
Here's the official franchise trailer:
Where to watch
All four TV seasons stream on Crunchyroll, sub and dub. The new film, Tears of the Azure Sea, opened theatrically in Japan on February 27, 2026 and in the US on May 1, 2026 before its July 31 Crunchyroll debut. If you're catching up, the watch order is straightforward: Seasons 1–3, the first film Scarlet Bond, then Season 4, with Tears of the Azure Sea slotting alongside the current run. We keep the platform list neutral — when a title moves to Netflix or another service in your region, we say so rather than pretending Crunchyroll is the only door.
What the new movie covers
Set after the Tempest Federation's foundation celebration, the film sends Rimuru and a group of officials to a resort island, where they meet a mysterious girl named Yura and run into an emerging threat. It's a self-contained arc, so you don't need to be current on Season 4 to follow it.
The voices behind it
At Anime Expo, franchise leads Miho Okasaki (Rimuru) and Megumi Toyoguchi (Raphael) told Anime News Network that even four seasons in, the roles still challenge them — Okasaki noted Rimuru's shifting register as the character gains power, and the pair talked up the on-mic chemistry that's carried the show since 2018.
Where it ranks
SenpaiRanks tracks anime on two axes: Consensus (how broadly a show is liked) and Quality (how well it holds up). It's the split MyAnimeList's single number can't show you. Season 4's board is still filling in as it airs, so the honest move is to rate it yourself and see where your take lands versus the crowd. For more isekai in the same tier, our best isekai anime of 2026 ranking is the hub, and Mushoku Tensei Season 3, Konosuba Season 4, and Saga of Tanya the Evil Season 2 round out what's airing.
