The That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime OAD event will be on January 26, 2020, with the voice actors of Rimuru (voiced by Miho Okasaki), Ranga (voiced by Chikahiro Kobayashi), and Chloe Aubert (voiced by Azusa Tadokoro) in attendance. Tickets are currently available to be applied for through a lottery system with general sale starting on December 26 for 3,000 yen (US$28).

 

 

The second OAD, “The Tragedy of M?”, is available to stream on Crunchyroll right now, with the first OAD being available to stream on December 4. The first OAD was to be released in March 2019, but was delayed to December 2019 due to "various circumstances."

 

The synopsis for the first OAD is:

 

“Mikami Satoru, an ordinary businessman, was stabbed on the street and died, but found himself reincarnated in a parallel world... in the body of a slime! Thus he began his new life as a slime named Rimuru, flung into a new world teeming with creatures of many different races, and made the decision to start a new country where all races could enjoy life together.

 

In the midst of his everyday life, Rimuru suddenly realizes that there's nothing to do for recreation in Tempest. He suggests sumo wrestling as a way for everyone to have fun together, and his friends are immediately on board with the idea. Thus begins Tempest's first sumo tournament, in which everyone competes enthusiastically in hopes of winning the grand prize! Passionate contests break out not only among Benimaru and the men, but also among women like Shuna and Shion, and even Rimuru ends up joining in! This is a special episode in which all the citizens of Tempest come together for some fun.”
