Unless I missed it, it looks like no theatrical release then? A shame.

If they say "screen" then that generally means "in theaters." (Note that they do specifically say "stream" instead when talking about s4 later in the same paragraph.)

Besides, I saw a trailer for the next Slime movie when I went to see Scarlet in theater last week.

Got to work on my reading comprehension! Thanks for confirming it will be in theaters. Can't wait.

I'm a little confused on the chronology. Is this a side story or a mini plot arc wrapped in a movie as long series tend to do? They're screening it in the US in May but the next season starts in April, so if the movie is plot-relevant, anime-only viewers will be at a disadvantage.

Iirc, the last movie was mostly a side adventure with a few light references coming up during the third season.

Was there ever a English release of the first movie over here? Probably not, but want to make sure.
