Copyright and fan content
Who owns what, why this archive is written the way it is, and how to ask for something to be removed.
Rights in the underlying work
That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, its story, characters, settings, artwork and all related material are the property of their respective rights holders, including the original author, the illustrator, the Japanese and English publishers, and the anime production committee.
No claim of ownership over any of that is made or implied here. Trademarks and character names are used descriptively, to identify the work being written about.
What is original here
Every summary, dossier, continuity note and editorial judgement on this site was written from scratch for this archive. The archive deliberately describes cause, motivation, mechanism and consequence rather than retelling scenes, and it reproduces no prose, no dialogue, no official artwork and no anime frames.
The illustrations used for era and record atmosphere are newly generated images made for this site. They are not official artwork and do not depict licensed character designs.
Original text and images on this site remain the work of the archive's operator. Please do not republish them wholesale; a link and a credit are always welcome.
Support the official release
This archive exists to help readers follow a long and complicated story, and it is built to send people towards the official books rather than away from them. Where the archive names a volume, it links to the publisher.
If you are enjoying the story, buy the official volumes. The series continues because people do.
Requesting removal
If you are a rights holder, or act for one, and believe something on this site exceeds fair use or otherwise infringes your rights, write to contact@tempestarchive.com with the page address, the material concerned, and the basis of your claim.
Requests from rights holders are taken seriously and acted on promptly. There is no need to begin with a formal legal notice; an email will get a response.
