So, let me tell you about my personal experience with the Re:Zero anime. I was really excited when I heard that there was going to be an anime adaptation of Re:Zero, as I had already read the light novels and was a big fan of the series.
The anime is produced by White Fox, a studio known for their work on other popular anime such as Steins;Gate and Akame ga Kill. I think they did a fantastic job with the animation and overall production quality of Re:Zero. The animation is smooth and the character designs are faithful to the original illustrations from the light novels.
The anime was announced in 2015 and began airing on April 4, 2016. It ran for a total of 25 episodes, with the final episode airing on September 19, 2016. The series is split into two cours, with a break between the first and second half. This allowed for a more focused and cohesive storytelling, as each cour covers a different arc of the light novels.
The opening and ending themes of the anime are also worth mentioning. For the first cour, the opening theme is “Redo” by Konomi Suzuki, and the ending theme is “STYX HELIX” by MYTH & ROID. These songs really set the tone for the series and are catchy and memorable.
In the second cour, the opening theme is “Paradisus-Paradoxum” by MYTH & ROID, and the ending theme is “Stay Alive” by Emilia (voiced by Rie Takahashi). These songs continue to capture the essence of the series and complement the intense and emotional moments.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching the Re:Zero anime. It stayed true to the source material and brought the characters and story to life in a captivating way. The voice acting was superb, with each character being perfectly cast. The emotional moments hit hard, and the action scenes were exciting and well-choreographed.
The anime left a lasting impression on me, and I’m eagerly awaiting news of a second season. I highly recommend giving it a watch if you’re a fan of fantasy, suspense, and intricate storytelling.
