Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-


After Subaru Natsuki goes shopping one night he is suddenly transported to another world. However, unlike most other Isekai heroes he is not blessed with powers, but has a curse placed on him instead. This curse allows him to go back to a certain point in time if he happens to die. Soon after he comes to this world he meets a half-elf girl who introduces herself as Satella. She asks him if he knows anything about her insignia that was stolen. While Subaru is unaware of what happened he agrees to help her look.  He eventually finds out where it is and after revealing his intentions to give it back to the owner he is promptly sliced open by an assassin known as The Bowel Hunter. After multiple failed attempts that result in his death he is finally able to return the Insignia with the help of a knight known as Reinhard Van Astraea.

I am not going to lie Re:Zero was definitely an anime that was incredibly hard to watch for me. I think the anime could have been amazing if Subaru had used his brain. He eventually does around episode eighteen and from there it became easily watchable for me. However, there were many things that could have been fixed if he had made minor tweaks to his strategy like not revealing that it was his intention to give Emilia the insignia. Had he done that rather than completely changed his plan from the first time things would have gone a lot smoother. The season is visually clean, though there is a lot of swearing. There is a bath scene, but none of the girls are involved. It is just between Roswaal Mathers and Subaru. Overall, I feel like I have seen many Isekai's that are better than this one, but a lot of people like it. If you think it sounds interesting you can give it a try.
