The popular arc "Founding the Demon Capital" of the TV anime "That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime Season 3" (Tensura) has started. To commemorate this, a key visual, promotional PV & CM, new characters & cast, and OP & ED theme song information were released. The OP theme song "Renacer Serenade" is performed by Momoiro Clover Z, and the ED theme song "Miracle Soup" is by MindaRyn.

The key visual shifts from the serious atmosphere of the Hinata battle to a thrilling and exciting vibe as the opening festival approaches. New characters "Elmesia," "Momiji," and "Masayuki" also appear, and the second PV showcases the new characters in action with their lines.

The new cast includes Hisako Kanemoto as Elmesia, Moe Kahara as Momiji, and Yoshitsugu Matsuoka as Masayuki.

Hisako Kanemoto's Comments

Q: How did you feel when you were chosen to play Elmesia?
I was very happy. Elmesia is a relatable yet responsible character. She sometimes acts like a playful girl but also shows a stern side when necessary. It's a challenging role, but I hope to portray her dignified aspects well.

I was a bit nervous joining a long-term series as a new character, but I hope you enjoy the interactions between Elmesia, Rimuru, and other characters in the anime!

Comments from Sound Producer Motoki Omori (Mrs. GREEN APPLE)

I wrote a difficult song. During the recording, Tamai-san and Sasaki-san even complained a bit. However, Momoiro Clover Z sang it beautifully and charmingly, and I am honored.

Being the same generation as the members, I have been watching their activities for a long time, which made me emotional while composing. I hope you enjoy this intricate song that feels both nostalgic and fresh.

MindaRyn's Comments

Q1: How did you approach singing the theme song?
I sang "Miracle Soup" while reflecting on the journey of Rimuru and his friends. They have overcome many challenges and have a strong bond despite different backgrounds. Tempest is like a "Miracle Soup" made of the best ingredients.

Q2: Any message for Tensura fans?
I'm MindaRyn, and I will be singing the second ED theme for season 3! Thank you for always loving "Tensura!" This is my third Tensura theme song, and I'm honored. "Tensura" has brought me to meet many wonderful people worldwide. I'm happy to be part of this family and want to continue sharing Tensura's charm globally!
