Synopsis — from MyAnimeList
The story takes place between the first and second season, where Rimuru confronts the swirling conspiracies in the Coleus kingdom.
Audience Consensus
The audience generally finds this OVA to be an enjoyable, albeit non-essential, addition to the Slime universe, appreciating its improved pacing and return to Rimuru's core character. However, many feel it suffers from underdeveloped villains, predictable plot points, and a lack of significant stakes, making it feel like filler content.

- Effective balance of Rimuru's serious and otaku nature
- Well-contained action sequences based on characters and emotions

- Good animation, voice acting, and sound
Weaknesses
- Villains are two-dimensional and underdeveloped
- Main cast exits the plot at an inconvenient time
- Unresolved plot threads regarding certain advertised characters
- Lack of stakes or tension, feels like filler to tide fans over
- Power scaling feels off, with some characters appearing underpowered
- Story is cliche and predictable
