The Japanese light novel series りいぜろ kara hajimeru isekai seikatsu (Re:Zero – Starting Life in Another World From Zero) tells the story of hikikomori Subaru Natsuki who is whisked away to an alternate world on his way home from the convenience store. He soon becomes entangled in the story and is forced to attempt an adventure to find the source of his magical powers.
The earliest Re:Zero manga adaptation, by Daichi Matsue and published by Media Factory, began serialisation in August 2014 in their seinen magazine Monthly Comic Alive. The first level of the manga adapted the first Arc of the series, and was followed closely by two more arcs and several side stories. The manga has been translated into English by Yen Press. The manga was later adapted into an anime television series made by White Fox, which ran from April to September 2016, and an additional OVA has been released.
Re:Zero is a light novel and video game series written by Tappei Nagatsuki and illustrated by Shinichirou Otsuka, and based on the original web series that started out as some web novels on Shosetsuka ni Naro. The series was first self-published as a website novel in 2012, then acquired for print publication by Media Factory in 2014. Since then your series has received thirty-two light novels published, five side story volumes, and eight short story collections. The series has also been adapted into three anime television series, two OVAs, and one visual novel video game.
In the Re:Zero universe, Subaru is a 17-year-old shut-in NEET who is 1 day transported to some other world after leaving his room to purchase some snacks. He soon discovers he is within an alternate world where he is being offered the possibility to become a hero. As he begins his journey, he meets various people like the half-elf princess candidate Emilia and her sister Rem.
Character Design and Animation
The animation in Re:Zero is quite good with some nifty visual effects and character designs that basically stand out. The story itself is pretty solid as well and the characters are very likable with a strong sense of personality.
Regardless of the story being easy, it manages to pack within an epic level of action and emotion. There are also some interesting plot twists along the way, but these aren’t the key focus of the story.
It’s also easy to see why it is a massive hit in Japan. The story is quite well-written, the art is great, and the soundtrack is top notch.
Apart from the main story, Re:Zero includes a large variety of different quests and missions which can be completed throughout the span of the game. These can assist you to unlock characters and gain more experience or access to new areas.
Several of those are more difficult and require you to use better weapons, which may be a good thing, but others are only for fun and won’t do much when it comes to helping the story progress. Whatever you decide on to do, you will still have to produce choices throughout the game and the consequences of one’s decisions tend to be felt.
