 It was announced at the Summer School Festival MF Bunko 2015 event that a TV anime adaptation of fantasy light novel Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu (Re: Life in a different world from zero) has been green-lit. The series is written by Tappei Nagatsuki and illustrated by Shinichirou Ootsuka. It has also spawned several manga adaptations. Synopsis Suddenly, high school student Subaru Natsuki has been summoned to another world on the way back from the convenience store. With the biggest crisis of his life being summoned to another world, and with no sign of the one who summoned him, things become even worse when he is attacked. But when he is saved by a mysterious, silver-haired girl with a fairy cat, Subaru cooperates with her to return the favor. When they finally manage to get a clue, Subaru and the girl are attacked and killed by someone. Subaru then awakens in the place he was summoned and notices he gained the ability "Returns by Death" and has become a helpless boy that only has the ability to rewind time by dying. Beyond the despair, can he save the girl from the fate of death? (Source: jCafe, edited) Source: Yaraon Re: Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu on MAL |

| Seriously? I was just thinking of trying the manga version and the LN getting an anime? Might as well wait for the anime. |
 |
| That synopsis actually sounds really interesting |
| Looks interesting. |
 |
| The announcement comes to no surprise as the domain name "re-zero-anime.jp" has been registered by Kadokawa some time ago, but I'm really glad to finally see some official confirmation. Announcement visual: On another note, I'm really hoping summoned/reincarnation fantasy light novel series receiving anime adaptions do not become mainstream, the English-speaking fandom currently is pretty tame and friendly and I don't want that tainted by anime-only viewers (like how it happened with the VRMMO genre). Nonetheless, if it promotes sales of the original source, I can grin and bear the negativities. A lot of series do need that boost. In the meantime, perhaps I should resume translating the Re:Zero novel again... |

| The synopsis does indeed sound interesting.Any LN-readers here who can confirm if it's good or just wasted potential? |
 |
| It's going to be 1 cour. Anyways, the festival is still ongoing. I don't expect any other anime adaptations to be announced tonight but maybe more info on another already confirmed/existing series to be revealed... |

| Imagine a berserk anime by Yoshiaki kawajiri at Madhouse. Now take a look at Berserk (2016). YOU HAVE MY PERMISSION TO CRY. |
| Nice. It finally gets an anime. I've only checked out one of its manga adaptations so far. |
| Seems interesting, I'll give it a go. NeoAnkara said: Before anyone say it. No! HakoMari won't have anime. How about Psycome. ;c xD |

| So its basically all you need is kill/edge of tomorrow but with a fantasy setting? |

Sad taste you have there kid you came up to me in the first place making you look more like a kid who got slapped without me even knowing it and start crying about it to me |
| sounds good, looks good 2/2 |
 |
| OT : I won't try the anime, It still sounds like your average LN with little twist in the end, you know like Edge of tomorrow. Mod Edit: Off topic comment removed. |

| Another otaku-pandering light novel? Hmm. |
| Thank the gods. Didn't expect this. |

| You got me at "silver-haired girl". |
| hmmm, sounds interesting! |
| Lol another Otaku-Pandering Wishfullfillment shit. LastChapter said: It's good and hopefully the anime will keep Subaru's monologues as a good portion of the novel does have him strategize in saving X, getting out of loops, etc. It gets pretty gruesome later on too when Lol, this will be LN version of Akame ga Kill, but with more edgy death characters with no depth. |
| Do you play Azure Lane? Then please join my fanclub https://myanimelist.net/clubs.php?cid=74907 |
| Calling it now, there will be a comedic scene where a girl gets angry at the MC and kills him, but it's totally alright because time reversal. |

Because a grand amount if them are just the same empty and soulless otaku pandering crap. I haven't read this so I don't know, but fantasy world, girls with colored hair, maybe magic... These thing have been used over and over to the point is frustrating. Don't get me wrong, I'm no LN hater by default. Look at my favorites, Hyouka is up there and it's a LN. Btw, "guys like you"? In what sort of stereotype are you classifying me in? Lol |
| Sounds interesting. Will watch it. |

Isn't it is same for all mediums, repeatating same things?At this point nothing is original, all you hope for a show actually using its potential if there is one. Don't get me wrong, I'm no LN hater by default. Look at my favorites, Hyouka is up there and it's a LN. I am not even a LN reader, I just find it amazing how quick people are to jump on the "pandering" bandwagon. Btw, "guys like you"? In what sort of stereotype are you classifying me in? Lol Don't worry, you will see those stereotypes in this thread crying with their usual "criticism" -otaku pandering shit -Japan shit taste -wish fulfillment Most will be from the same place on MAL. |
| I saw that license announcement coming a mile off. |
| There is no such thing as shit taste. Only idiots who think everyone should have the same taste as they do. |
| Sounds like Edge Of Tomorrow a bit, in which case I'm all for it. |
| "Protagonist being summoned to another world" is my all time favorite type of anime so I'm really looking forward to this! |
| sounds great :) |

| Mod Note: Discussing another light novel which is not getting an adaptation without even attempting to discuss the subject of this news item is off-topic. Do it and your post will probably be removed. |

| News Update Added preview to the news post: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vFfXjuVA1Jk |
|
| Hard to tell the studio but the voice sound like Hanae Natsuki. Another one added to my read list I guess. It's one of those low priority titles I'm putting off for later. |

Calling it now, there will be a comedic scene where a girl gets angry at the MC and kills him, but it's totally alright because time reversal. NOPE. There would be tears, there would be blood, and there would be so much suffering that Berserk would look like K-ON in comparison. Unfortunately, this also means that the original author doesn't know how to write anything other than pure unadulterated suffering, so he's lonely in his pedestal among the best of his genre that you can't really determine if it's good or not after putting aside the fact that it's utterly gut-wrenching. |

| So your average high schooler gets transported to a fantasy world, who receives a mysterious power to save the world and included love interest? Gee, where have I heard that before. The artstyle is basically the same as any LN adaptation. The time travel aspect COULD make it worthwhile, if done right. I just doubt it is. |
| checking it out after seeing the pv :D |
| :3 |
| Transported into another world, saved by silver-haired beauty, blablabla. Can we get more 90s manga adaptions instead of the standard LN drivel, please? who_dat_ninja said: So your average high schooler gets transported to a fantasy world, who receives a mysterious power to save the world and included love interest? Gee, where have I heard that before. The artstyle is basically the same as any LN adaptation. The time travel aspect COULD make it worthwhile, if done right. I just doubt it is. Time travel is almost always not done right, so not exactly something to be positive about. Loli-Sazanami said: Lol, this will be LN version of Akame ga Kill, but with more edgy death characters with no depth. So basically Akame ga Kill in even worse both in terms of writing and characters? That seems like a feat, and not a good one. |

| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| More 'self insert high schooler MC reincarnated in another world where he meets ton of girls who totally don't want his dick' LN crap? Pass. Expect the next few announcements to be mostly crap, since the MF Bunko Event is going on now, and they're an LN publisher. Don't get your hopes up for anything good to get adapted. |
Transported into another world, saved by silver-haired beauty, blablabla. Can we get more 90s manga adaptions instead of the standard LN drivel, please? More like saved by silver-haired beauty, fucks up, gets silver-haired beauty killed, gets himself killed, resurrects to a previous time, fucks up, gets silver-haired beauty killed, gets himself killed, resurrects to a previous time, fucks up, gets silver-haired beauty killed, gets himself killed, resurrects to a previous time... you get the point.

Yeah, totally MATURE and not a shitty edgefest for misunderstood teens at all. This is Grisaia levels of bad, nice. I will enjoy laughing at this, thanks for the heads up! |
| Steel Ball Run anime when? |
| So this will be a shittier version of Steins; Gate? Or an attempt of All you need is kill? Seriously, they should stop making time travel series about constant death, it's overrated. Virtues last reward and Steins;Gate are the only 2 things I saw that pulled it off well. TL;DR Use time travelling for something else, a new concept. Edit: animation looks purty though, so I'll probably pick it up. |
