Rimuru's Voice Cast Comes to Los Angeles
Bandai Namco Filmworks (Cowboy Bebop, Mobile Suit Gundam) will set up shop at Anime Expo 2026, running July 2 through 5 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Their booth in South Hall (SH-2406) will hand out a free "Bandai Namco Filmworks Anime Mag" 2026 Summer Edition, a magazine with a new Rimuru cover illustration. The magazine also spotlights other Bandai Namco Filmworks titles.
The bigger draw for TenSura fans is a pair of cast appearances on Saturday, July 4. Miho Okasaki (Rimuru) and Megumi Toyoguchi (Raphael) will hold a signing session starting at noon PT in the JW Marriott Gold Ballroom, then return for a panel at Petree Hall from 3:00 to 3:50 PM PT. Producer Shinichiro Narita joins them on stage for the panel.
Can't make it to LA? The panel will be livestreamed on Twitch and YouTube through Anime Expo's official channels.
Episode 84: The Evolving Tempest
The show also released its preview for Episode 84, titled "Shinka Suru Makoku Renpō" (The Evolving Tempest).
With Mariabell's control over the Western Nations Council now broken, Tempest has risen to become the council's largest faction. Problems are piling up, but Rimuru steps away to tour various territories for a breather. It doesn't last long: Ramiris sends an urgent message.
Kenji Yasuda provided storyboards, with migmi directing. Kouin Saito and studio 8bit handled the script.
