Re:ZERO – Starting Life in Another World
Launched as a light novel series in 2012, Re:ZERO – Starting Life in Another World has since become one of the most popular isekai (alternate-world) franchises in anime. The story follows Subaru Natsuki, a seemingly ordinary young man who’s suddenly transported to a fantasy world. Instead of being overpowered like so many isekai heroes, Subaru discovers a brutal curse—whenever he dies, time resets, forcing him to relive events until he finds a way to survive. It’s part fantasy, part psychological thriller, and all heart-wrenching drama.
What sets Re:ZERO apart is its balance of high-stakes action, time-loop mystery, and deep emotional storytelling. The characters—like Emilia, Rem, and Beatrice—have become icons in their own right, driving a passionate global fandom. With anime seasons, OVAs, manga adaptations, and an ever-expanding line of collectibles, Re:ZERO has secured its place as a modern anime classic.
“I will save her—no matter how many times I have to die!”
- Subaru Natsuki, making bad life decisions, but with great determination.
Every loop tells a new story.
Fun Fact
Subaru’s “Return by Death” ability creates an endless time loop, making him one of the most unlucky (and resilient) anime protagonists. Rem, one of the twin maids, became so popular with fans that she often overshadows even the main heroine in polls.
