Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken celebrates its 10th anniversary this year
With Corius' Dream being adapted into an anime, it's worth noting that "Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken" celebrates its 10th anniversary this year. Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken first came out on February 20, 2013. Since then, it has expanded into various forms, including novels, manga, anime, and games. And now, finally, it has reached its 10th anniversary this year. The cumulative number of related books published has exceeded 40 million copies, demonstrating the length and depth of its 10-year history and the fact that Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken is beloved by many. To commemorate this milestone year, the "Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken 10th Project" will be launched on February 20, 2023, the 10th anniversary of the series.
Animation Adaptation as Part of the Project
As part of this commemorative project, it has been decided that "Coryus's Dream" will be adapted into an anime. "Coryus's Dream," a novel written by Fuse, the original author of "Tensei Shitara Slime Datta Ken," will be adapted into an anime consisting of three episodes. It is scheduled to air this fall. This work was originally included in the bonus booklet for the second season's Blu-ray. This will be a highly niche part of the anime, which is sure to be a delight for fans. As mentioned above, in this work, Rimuru takes on the role of a character named Satoru and embarks on an adventure in the Kingdom of Corius. The opening theme will be performed by Terashima Takuma, who has provided many songs for That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime. The ending theme will be performed by Okazaki Miho, the voice actress for the main character, Rimuru.
Here are some other projects!
Another special story written by Fuse, titled "How to Spend a Certain Vacation," is currently being published on "Let's Become a Novelist." The story takes place between volumes 9 and 10 of the novel. Fans are curious about what happens between these two volumes. Some are probably enjoying imagining the story. A work that meets these fan expectations has been released as part of this project. By the way, this work was announced first in the project's chronological order, with "Coryus's Dream" being the second.
Summary of the Process Leading Up to the Anime Adaptation of the Original Novel
This project, launched in celebration of the 10th anniversary, is packed with information that TenSura fans won't want to miss. In particular, "Coryus's Dream" is an anime adaptation of a novel originally written as a Blu-ray bonus, so many fans were probably surprised that it would be adapted into a film. It looks like we'll get to see a new side of Rimuru and his various exploits, so I'm looking forward to it! That's all for now. Thank you for reading.
