A popular anime series known for its ‘isekai’ (another world) theme has unexpectedly cancelled an upcoming episode scheduled for later this May, despite being available on Crunchyroll. With the spring anime season in full swing, fans are enjoying new installments of many beloved shows, including blockbuster hits and ‘isekai’ favorites like That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime. The fourth season of Slime is currently airing and will be the longest season of the series yet.
The new season of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime has begun, but the episode originally planned to air on May 1st in Japan has been replaced with a special recap episode. The production team stated this change is due to scheduling issues.

Due to a change in plans, the release of Episode 5 of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 4 in Japan on May 1st has been affected. It’s expected to air about a week later than originally scheduled. As of now, a new release date hasn’t been announced, and the reason for the delay remains unclear. Fans should stay tuned for updates as the season continues.
Season 4 of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime will be the largest season yet, with plans for a total of five parts (or ‘cours’) of episodes over the next few years. Two parts are scheduled to air this year, with the remaining three coming over the following years. This season will be massive, as Rimuru and the nation of Tempest prepare for a major conflict that the anime has been developing for some time.
What to Know for That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 4
You can now watch Season 4 of That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime on Crunchyroll, the same platform where you can find the previous three seasons, OVAs, and the movie. An English dub is planned, but the release date hasn’t been announced yet.
I’m so excited for the new That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime: Tears of the Azure Sea movie! It’s coming to theaters across the US and Canada on May 1st, and they’re even releasing it in both Japanese and English! While the next episode of the series is being pushed back a bit, at least we’ll have this awesome movie to enjoy in the meantime.
