A new edition of the first season of Re:Zero was announced.It was also confirmed to have extra content that wasn't covered in the original adaptation, and is going to be episodes of ~45 minutes each.

Shouldn't it get a MAL entry?

We will have to wait and see how it actually turns out. Psycho Pass' new version also didn't get a new entry after all. And it makes also sense that the episodes will be longer since they want to fit 25 episodes into 1 season. So let's just wait and see. If we're lucky, we would maybe even get a new opening!
Trying to watch all available anime series so you won't have to anymore, the list of anime I can recommend is still in progress, tho

Though it might contain new scenes which will differentiate it from the original.

IIRC Break Blade also got two entries even though they are exactly the same besides the way they were cut

Type is very important in the decision.
Almost every hentai that got core mixes are denied all the time b/c they are OVA --> OVA
Psycho Pass was TV -> TV

Break Blade was movie --> TV
Aoi Bungaku TV -> Ningen Shikkaku Movie
Dallos OVA -> Dallos Movie

Re:Zero is not in a good place being TV -> TV. But if enough is changed it can join.

It's! 13 episodes, 50 minutes each

Will it have new content like they said it would have? And if it’s just combining the episodes, how will they do the cliff hangers like the original season?

The entries have been denied since this version is nearly identical to the Blu-ray release, which we do not list on MAL. BD director cuts don't add any significant amount of new animation to warrant an entry. Section II: Anime Types c. Movie states that "Series that are released in their entirety in one format (TV/OVA/ONA) and later compiled for a subsequent theatrical release will have an additional entry for the movie", which would be the only way for this version to be added into the database. This is essentially the same situation as Psycho-Pass rebroadcast. According to Shymander's article, the first 3 episodes have no new content and only minor changes, most of which came from the BD. Unless there are any significant changes or new content in the later episodes, there won't be a separate entry added for this version.

Regarding Break Blade, please read https://myanimelist.net/anime/22433/Break_Blade/moreinfo

The final episode has 4 minutes of new content. Is this enough for the new entry to be accepted, or is this too short?

Even if it is too short, it still should get some mention in the DB. Otherwise, how should other users find out about it?

Indeed, there are featured articles and you might also find it in the recent forum discussions, but that is not enough. EDIT: Maybe it is even mentioned in the MAL news, but it is still not enough for it to get enough attention, imo.

Unfortunately, the amount of new content is neither long enough nor significant enough to warrant a separate entry for the Director's Cut. The rebroadcast was exactly the same, story-wise, aside from the last 4 minutes of episode 13. If we were to add a separate entry just for those 4 minutes, it would set a troublesome precedent for the future. Instead, the new content is now mentioned under the More Info tab.

What lanblade said. And even if it wasn't mistake, this entry was added in 2011, and the current mods do not agree that such entries should be added to the DB. I've asked cyruz to delete that entry, thank you for mentioning it :)

Please reconsider.. I personally think some of the stuff that manages to make it on MAL is ridiculous, yet Re Zero's Director's Cut *still* not qualifying is kind of frustrating and seems pretty unfair :/


Absolutely agreed... So many music videos, random specials that last like 10, 20 sec have their entries on MAL, any kind of recap episodes, movies etc, so why not this...? I don't get it. I understand your argument of "it not having enough original material" but MAL is supposed to be an anime and manga database. Considering every little thing that makes it to this database, is it rally fair to exclude what's really a full season of anime? So what that it's almost identical to the original? It has a different release date, different name and tiny, minor but still.. differences. I think its extremely hypocritical to stubbornly refuse to add it to the database regardless of many fans asking for it, where other way less significant entries exist.

They're not gonna approve it even if it had extra scene.

It's just gonna be like a copy and paste between Tv version and BD version which equal deny in most cases.

"Episode 1 was previewed at a screening at TOHO Cinemas Shinjuku on March 20, 2016. Regular broadcasting began on April 4, 2016."
This is the only thing mentioned in the More Info tab. No mention of the Directors Cut.

Also, just to add, not having a separate entry means that people trying to set up anything like an Emby Server (like a friend of mine) the meta data scraper cannot find any information of this version and keeps mislabeling it.
This means people will use other websites just to get one anime title to work (and usually they are really bad and don't have enough information to properly label them, hence why my friend wanted to find the Directors Cut on MAL.)

Is there a way that the information can be added so that meta data scrapers can find the correct information? Even if the full amount of information is added to the regular version some how, like the suggestion of the information being in the More Info tab.
Get excited, I suppose.

@KikiSohma It looks like someone moved the information from the More Info tab to the Background section under Synopsis. I've added the title to the Background, so hopefully that helps!
