In any case, this new film can be watched without having seen any of the previous chapters, though that’s mostly because the plot is cookie-cutter generic.

3/4

Director Yasuhito Kikuchi’s stand-alone movie catches you up on the mythology enough to keep up with a diverting, one-off fantasy adventure that throws everything into its blender.

While the central conflict and villains lack depth, the emphasis on Gobuta, along with the continued exploration of Rimuru’s unintended impact on the world around him, provides enough emotional and thematic substance to elevate the experience

Rimuru continues to prove he's a boss you enjoy being around and who tries to make the world a better place, but the movie ultimately feels like a rather long filler episode that doesn't really add much. [Full review in Spanish]

For a stand-alone film in the series, it is one, surprisingly better than the other film and two, oddly connected to the at the time on going television series. This felt like a nostalgia trip in a way, this film reminded me of what multi-media anime films use to be. The film is stretched out a bit, having two major settings and placing emotional investment more in the less important city. Hints of the Little Mermaid fairy tale. Warning. These are not deep characters, you either like them and are able to forgive the shallow depictions or you will hate this franchise.
