Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World (Japanese: Re:ゼロから始める異世界生活, Hepburn: Ri:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu), often referred to simply as Re:Zero and also known less commonly as Re: Life in a Different World from Zero,[d] is a Japanese isekai anime television series based on the light novel series Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World written by Tappei Nagatsuki and illustrated by Shinichirou Otsuka. It premiered on 4 April 2016 and has aired three seasons across television networks such as TV Tokyo, TV Osaka, TV Aichi, and AT-X.

The series has been streamed by Crunchyroll outside Asia, which released the anime on home media in the United States and through Anime Limited in the United Kingdom. In Southeast Asia and South Asia, the series is licensed by Muse Communication.

Plot

Subaru Natsuki is a NEET who is suddenly summoned to a fantasy-like world. Just after arriving, he is killed while trying to help a young half-elf he befriends, Emilia, who is a candidate to become the next ruler of the Kingdom of Lugunica, only to revive some hours in the past. After dying a few times, Subaru realizes that he has the power to turn back time after his death. After successfully helping Emilia, Subaru starts living in one of the Mansions of Roswaal L. Mathers as a butler. Out of gratitude and affection for Emilia, Subaru makes use of his newfound ability to protect her and help on her ambition to be successfully appointed as the next queen, also providing assistance to other friends he makes along the way, while suffering due to the pain inflicted on him every time he dies, and carrying along the memories of everything that happened before his power activates, which is forgotten by everybody except for him.

Cast and characters

Production

Development

The possibility of an anime adaptation came up early during development of the light novels; Shō Tanaka, a producer at Kadokawa Corporation, asked Ikemoto about properties which might lend themselves to being animated, and Ikemoto recommended that Tanaka read Nagatsuki's web novels.[5][6] Despite an initial miscommunication which led to Ikemoto believing that Tanaka was not interested, talks of adapting the series began soon after the web novels began the transition to print.[6]

As part of talks for the potential anime adaptation, Ikemoto and Tanaka spoke to Tsunaki Yoshikawa, an animation producer at studio White Fox, about the possibility of his studio animating the series.[6] Hoping to adapt the series into an anime similar to Steins;Gate (which White Fox also produced), and having a positive impression of the studio as one that did faithful adaptations, Tanaka then formally approached them about producing the show. White Fox's president contacted Yoshikawa for his opinion, and Yoshikawa recommended they accept, as long as the series "doesn't violate any broadcasting regulations."[5]

Production on the anime began sometime after the release of the fifth novel in October 2014.[7][8] Masaharu Watanabe was chosen by Yoshikawa to direct the series because he had previously worked for the studio doing key animation, while Kyūta Sakai was chosen to be the series' character designer and chief animation director because Yoshikawa felt that she would be able to do the novel's art justice whilst maintaining a consistent animation quality throughout the series' 25-episode run.[5] Masahiro Yokotani was brought on board as the main writer, with the series being his first time composing for a "reborn in another world"-type story.[9] Yoshikawa warned him about the violence in the series, but Yokotani was still surprised by the violent and disturbing scenes in novels three and beyond, having only read the first novel when he agreed to work on the project; he delegated the script writing of those episodes in the second cours to the other two scriptwriters.[9] Yoshiko Nakamura joined the project sometime after Yokotani had completed the script for episode 3. When it proved unfeasible for Yokotani and Nakamura to write the scripts alone, the decision was made to bring another scriptwriter on board. Gaku Iwasa, the president of White Fox, asked them to hire someone "younger", leading Yokotani to suggest Eiji Umehara. Nagatsuki had recently been playing Chaos;Child, which Umehara had written for, and he approved the choice, suggesting that they let Umehara write the "painful parts"; Umehara was invited to join the project around the time that the scripts for episodes 8 and 9 were being written.[9] Re:Zero was the first light novel adaptation that either of the screenwriters had worked on.[9]

Original author Tappei Nagatsuki was very active in the production of the anime, attending script meetings and recording sessions.[5] When the staff would encounter a problem with a scene, he would occasionally write lines for them to use as reference while writing the script.[9] The series was not initially intended to have 25 episodes, but was extended to give more time to the battle with the White Whale (which was expanded from two to three episodes) and to the content of episode 18 (episodes 16 to 18 were originally supposed to be covered in two episodes).[9] Watanabe's main directive to the staff was to "capture the mood of the novel as much as possible";[7][9] the scriptwriters had discussions about how to compress the dense source material without losing the central elements of the story, and Nakamura recalls working with composition notes that "went on for pages".[9] While planning and scripting the anime, choosing a proper conclusion was one of the most difficult parts for the staff, and a significant amount of time was devoted to choosing what to cover in the final episode,[5] which included material not yet covered in the light novel.[e][12][13]

After joining the project, both Nakamura and Umehara had to adjust their views of the main character, and were forced to rewrite scenes where they had made Subaru appear "cool". At Watanabe's direction, Nakamura was made to rewrite Subaru's telling of The Red Ogre Who Cried in episode 6 multiple times.[9] The staff also had difficulty deciding on a song to use for Subaru's ringtone that plays during the closing scene of episode 19, considering songs like "Kanpaku Sengen", "The Beard Song", and "M" by Princess Princess, before settling on "Yoake no Michi" from Dog of Flanders.[9]

Soundtrack

While choosing a composer to produce the series' music, director Watanabe wanted to choose someone who had "hit a nerve" with him. A fan of drama series, Watanabe was struck by a piece of music in the medical drama Death's Organ, and found that the series' composer, Kenichiro Suehiro, had also worked on a number of his favorite anime and drama series.[14] After Suehiro was attached to the production, Watanabe gave him three major guidelines: use human voices during the Return by Death sequences; compose the music like he would for a drama or a movie to capture the emotional scenes; and "pull all the stops" for the suspenseful scenes.[14] Additionally, for the first cours, Watanabe asked for music with a "suspenseful" vibe, while requesting music with a "romantic" feel for the second cours.[14] Both Watanabe and Suehiro are fans of Italian composer Ennio Morricone, and Suehiro tried to take inspiration from his works while composing the soundtrack.[14] Watanabe also requested that there be songs that mimicked Hans Zimmer's score from The Dark Knight.[14] While Suehiro used music that was not very "anime-ish" during most of the series, he was asked to use more traditional anime music during the slice of life scenes.[14] A number of times during the series, such as in episodes 7 and 15, Watanabe made it a point to use an entire song, something which is unusual in most anime.[14]

The series makes limited use of its opening and ending themes, and Watanabe has said that he wished he could use them more frequently.[7]

Home media release

Funimation announced during their Katsucon 2018 panel that they would release the first season on home video with an English dub in North America as part of the two companies' partnership.[60][61][62] Funimation released the first part of the first season on Blu-ray and DVD in North America on 19 June 2018,[63] and the second part on 5 February 2019.[64] Funimation later released all of season 1 on one Blu-ray on 9 June 2020.[65] In the United Kingdom, the series is distributed by Anime Limited,[66][67] who released the first part of the first season on DVD on 25 June 2018[68] and the second part on 20 May 2019.[69] Anime Limited later released both parts on Blu-ray on 19 August 2019,[70][71] with a complete collection being released on 15 February 2021.[72] Both Funimation and Anime Limited's Season 1 Part 1 Blu-ray releases received negative attention after it was discovered that they showed visible color banding and compression artifacts.[73] Madman Anime released the first part of the first season in Australia on Blu-ray on 8 May 2019.[74]

Reception

The series was the 21st best selling anime on home video during 2016, selling approximately 68,791 Blu-ray and DVD sets.[75] The OVA, "Memory Snow", released in 2018, sold a total of 10,429 Blu-ray and DVD copies.[76][77]

The first season ranked first in a poll of 820 people conducted by the Japanese website Anime! Anime!, to determine the best anime series of spring 2016.[78] Andy Hanley from UK Anime Network considered the anime adaptation as one of 2016's best series.[79]

The Managing Editor from Anime Now!, Richard Eisenbeis lists the anime as one of his top picks from 2016 for its "culturally complex" world and characters that have "their own plans, faults, and motivations." He praised Subaru as the "most complex character of the year" due to provoking the audience to "cheer him and despise him" in a world that portrayed him as the "least special person in it."[80]

The series took second place in the 2015–16 Newtype Anime Awards. Additionally, director Masaharu Watanabe took first place, as did Subaru, Rem, and Puck (in the best male, female, and mascot character categories, respectively). Masahiro Yokotani's screenplay took second place, while the series' character designs (by Shin'ichirō Ōtsuka and Kyuta Sakai) took third place. The series' soundtrack and second opening theme both took fourth place in their categories.[81] The light novels and the anime both took first place in their respective categories in the 2017 Sugoi Japan Awards.[82]

In a survey of (primarily female) Otamart users, the series was ranked second on a list of the most successful media franchises of 2016.[83]

The series was nominated for "Anime of the Year" at the Crunchyroll's inaugural Anime Awards in 2016,[84] and was also the service's most-watched series of 2016, topping Yuri on Ice.[85][86]
