Re:ZERO Season 2 Slated for April Release, Edited Season 1 Set for January Premiere

Two good news in one article for fans of hit isekai anime Re:ZERO! The official website for the Re:ZERO -Starting Life in a New World – (Re:ZERO – Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu -) series has just announced that the anime’s second season is confirmed for an April release! Most of the main cast and staff were listed to return for the next season.

In addition to this, the website also announced that an edited first season is set to premiere on January 1. Edits to the 25-episode season 1 include additional footage and a reworking of the episodes to make it fit into a one-hour timeslot.

A new visual was also revealed for the reworked season 1.

A theatrical OVA, Re:ZERO – Starting Life in a New World – Frozen Bonds OVA (Re:ZERO – Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu – Hyouketsu no Kizuna) was released in selected theaters in Japan last November 8. The OVA revolved around Emilia and Puck’s first meeting during the journey to Roswaal Mansion to be a candidate for the royal election. The OVA was announced after the release of the first OVA, Memory Snow, which took place after Subaru and his friends’ defeat of the demon Wolgarm. It also featured Subaru going out on a “scout mission” for his date with Emilia.

Re:ZERO – Starting Life in A New World - is a light novel series written by Tappei Nagatsuki and illustrated by Shinichirou Otsuka. The story revolves around hikikomori (i.e., social recluse) Subaru Natsuki, who suddenly finds himself transported into another world during a trip to the nearest convenience store. Once there, he realizes that he gets “resurrected” each time he dies. An anime adaptation of the series by White Fox aired from April to September 2016, which eventually became hugely popular to fans because of its interesting characters and unique take on the isekai premise.
