A few months ago, I decided to lớn dive a little further inlớn this genre I had heard so much about. Starting with the likes of Code Geass, Erased or Hunter x Hunter, I found myself awed by the acting performances & the storytelling, sometimes surprisingly on par with the best TV shows currently on air.
In April năm nhâm thìn started an anime named Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu or Re:Zero Starting Life in Another World, as it’s been dubbed in English. The anime tells the story of Natsuki Subaru, a young man who finds himself summoned to lớn another world. He soon discovers that he acquired a power named ‘Return by Death,’ an ability enabling hyên ổn to lớn reverse time each time he dies.
Re:Zero is unlượt thích many anime, based on a Web Novel, written by Tappei Nagatsuki, which is available in Japanese for không lấy phí online. The anime begins as a basic story of try và repeat, with Subaru trying khổng lồ learn from his mistakes each time he dies. While this storytelling technique can often become tiresome over time, Re:Zero quickly grows beyond this concept khổng lồ offer a thrilling story, that sets up an engaging universe & interesting lore.
Often, main characters in manga are depicted as almost flawless, smart, powerful with a strong sense of values. Subaru is none of that at the beginning of the story, & this is what makes Re:Zero so quality & apart from what we have sầu been used to see on screen. Subaru is a good-for-nothing who finds himself overwhelmed by a power beyond his understanding. Subaru cannot tell anyone about his power for reasons we discover early on, and it is going lớn weigh on hyên ổn quickly.
You are certainly going lớn hate hyên ổn because of his questionable decisions, & God knows he deserves lớn be punched in the face sometimes. Subaru is going lớn get beaten up a lot & hit rock-bottom several times, but this is what this story is all about: seeing how this young man is going to grow into a real adult và mature inkhổng lồ the leader he is supposed lớn be with his power.

The beginning of the story might not make much sense right away as the anime takes its time khổng lồ establish its universe. However, once getting past the middle of the season, we start lớn realize that there is a real mystery surrounding Subaru’s power and the reason why he got here. The universe of Re:Zero is surprisingly alive, in the way that it giao dịch with politics, religion, and beliefs of this world, making it a character on its own. You will quickly realize that Subaru is somehow connected with the history of this world & the kết thúc of the season raises even more questions regarding the significance of his “Return by death,” but I will let you judge for yourself.
Obviously, the story does not only rely on Subaru and establishes several key characters: allies, foes or love interests that will challenge hyên but also be crucial in his evolution throughout the story. Re:Zero goes to many places; hence, you will rarely see Subaru interact with the same characters for too long. The anime does not let you settle inlớn a comfort zone, and that is a good thing.

If you get through the kết thúc, the last episode might seem a little abrupt, but the journey is from start to lớn finish, an incredibly well-written story worthy of your time and one of the best anime of 2016.
Update: During the festivities of Anime nhật bản 2019, the Re:Zero official Japanese website updated with a key visual & trailer announcing a second season of the beloved anime. No word yet on a release date but now might be the perfect time to catch up on its thrilling story.
