Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- (light novel)
ColdBreeze said: This sounds too perfect. I'm so hyped for this show. Unfortunately it's not really known here on Mal and only a minority awaits Re:Zero. The majority don't have it in the plan-to-watch list either which is a shame. I really hope the audience grows when it airs! I know I kinda praise this as the second coming of Jesus but it's just that this has so much potential it's crazy. Still I'm gonna wait and see how they'll do this, I have faith tho :) Sadly that's the case. The manga is as far as I know untouched for a while now and well the light novel got licensed by YenPress so any attempt to fan translate got deleted. Therefore it's no surprise not many people know it. Only those who stay up to date with the popular light novel series in Japan, know the language know of it and gave it a read know about it. That's why this show now has a difficult position. It has barely any backup by source material readers like for example Boku No Hero Academia so it will have to get its viewership on its own. Personally I expect this to become a smaller version of the popularity Erased got right at the start combined with the twist of School Live ( You know, the majority thought it is your usual Moe stuff but the twist in the first episode brought so much attention to it ). It was kinda the same situation back then in Winter with Erased just with the tiny difference that there wasn't really much of a competition. This season Re:Zero has to compete with a lot of anticipated shows and giants like JoJo ( although the Japanese anticipate this even more than JoJo ) so I doubt its boost will be as big as Erased but still good. Anyway let's just wait until the first episode airs and it will surely spread like a wildfire that this isn't your usual "another word fantasy harem" but a sadistic story drenched in blood and suffering. The first episode has more than enough scenes that grasp ones attention and drop their jaw. Oh boy I just can't wait to see peoples' reactions to this. Also why am I a moderator. Wait we all are mods. |

ColdBreeze said: Yeah, spring season is definitely stronger than winter. I'm sure this series will be one of my favourites of the upcoming season if not the best. And if I may say so, Erased wasn't really exceptional good imo. I think Re:Zero has a, like you said, huge/bigger potential. I still believe most people will watch at least one episode of all the airing anime, so it can hook them probably. It airs on Sunday, right? Can't wait for the reactions, too. Mod: Well, it's April after all.^^ Yeah I agree on that one. I just wanted to address the attention it got early on :). It definitely has a bigger potential because of various reasons. It's a longer, more unique story and if we talk about the anime 24+ episodes is reason enough. I don't really know. Crunchyroll says Sunday but apparently it airs on Saturday. So I guess the subs will take a while. Oh...I walked right into that one. Kudos to you MAL :P |

Yeah because of the time zone its kinda weird, Japan is ahead of us. I don't think it will take a while, crunchyroll usually are fast even for the first episode, its funimation who are slow at the beginning ! |

Also, Japan's times go past 24 hours, so this is aring at 25:05 of Sunday (April 3) in Japan, which is actually 1:05AM Monday (April 4). |

I guess AniChart screwed me over big times because it claims that this will air in one day and 2 hours my time. So far AniChart was always accurate with its airing times so that I could trust on it completely but maybe they've done a mistake this time. Well whatever this is such a small matter, not worth to get ourselves worked up about it. I'll just keep a look at CR tomorrow evening :) |
It is confirmed to be 60 full minutes, I doubt they just round up to one hour. I think |

ColdBreeze said: So, is the first episode 60min + 30 min special? or 30min+30 min special? Bit confused know. I'm confused myself. I just know that this article http://otakomu.jp/archives/362059.html says it will be a one hour first episode special. The people from the pre screening also said it was a 1 hour episode + 1 hour talk after it. Also the fact that CR will take 2 - 2 1/2 hours this week instead of 1 hour to release it supports this too. |
ColdBreeze said: That's exactly what I read on an other site. The conversation here is kinda confusing. I really hope it's like they said. But we'll see it soon. I think I know now what's up. It seems like it will really air on Sunday for us, it's just that AniChart messed up. I went through the official twitter website and I found tweets about a pre-special event tonight in which the cast, I think, sits together and talks about the show and then there is a tweet of the official twitter account that says "1 hour special for the first episode". Now there are two possibilities: 1. The pre-special event today and the 25 minute anime episode are split but counted as an 1 hour special. 2. The pre-special event isn't seen as a part of the first episode and we still get a 60 minutes episode. Personally I think it's the latter because the pre screening episode clearly was one hour long. Still a lot of people are now confused when it will air and when not. |
ColdBreeze said: Thanks for the update. I found this: "The Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu anime will broadcast its first episode on Monday, April 4th at 1:05am JST on TV Tokyo." So, where I live it will air at 6pm, sunday. MAL had the infos already though: http://myanimelist.net/news/45258438 Well clearly I'm too dumb to find a simple article then lol. Thanks for the information. Guess it's really a 60 minute episode then, thank god. So in other words 30 minutes special with the cast ( today ) + 60 first episode special ( tomorrow ). I'm so fine with that. The only things that bugs me is that it is now on the same day as BNHA and when I've learned one thing from OPM then that other good shows which air on the same get lost in the hype. |

If the animation holds up and Wit adapts it well (which it seems like they will) it'll be popular for sure. The few manga chapters ( I think 12 + 10 ? ) should give you a good little insight on what to expect, though it stops right before the story gets "real". What you've read there is only a cake walk compared what happens later in arc 2 and especially in the third arc. It's School Live all over again. People go in it with the wrong expectations and get their asses handed to them within the first episode. That usually hooks people and the word of it "being not what it seems like" spreads like a wildfire. The slight difference to School Live is that this is on a whole different level in terms of gore, brutality and disturbing content. People like this stuff. Compare this with a revival/time travel topic that can be compared to Erased/Steins;Gate and there you have stuff that makes a really good anime. Of course it depends on how it is done. Is it censored a lot? Doubt it. It would take too much away from the weight of the death scenes and they know it. The channel and the fact that the show airs really really late only support the theory of it being rather uncensored. Also from the PV I already saw a good share of gore. Is it rushed? Since they will wrap up the first arc in 2 episodes they will move on to the really interesting stuff rather fast without rushing anything. I guess they can thank the author and his weird volume sizes that double from volume to volume. It also has 24 episodes with a possibility of a season 2 so rushing content won't be happening. Personally I trust White Fox and the staff behind this although I'm still a little bit careful with the director. It's White Fox. It's easy to mix up with other studios, happens to me too. |

I'm pretty sure of that since it's One Hour Episode. I've heard this thrown around a lot so I'd like some clarification, is the first arc all of volume 1? |

I'm pretty sure of that since it's One Hour Episode. Personally I also think they could totally do that but I just go according to the preview pictures, synopsis, PV and the comments below the pre screening. They all hint towards an end after the second death. bobzanny said: I've heard this thrown around a lot so I'd like some clarification, is the first arc all of volume 1? Yes. I don't really know how the arc to volume relation is since I've only read some of them in a huge box of text. But I know that the first arc is way shorter than the second one and that one is short compared to the third one. What I know is that the author doubles his page numbers with every new volume. Also yeah the first arc is in the first volume 1 and both a rather short compared to the other 2 arcs and 7 volumes, that's why we see it being adapted in the 60 minute first episode. The volumes later on are really long for a light novel but that's because the third arc is huge and it's adapted from a web novel. |

From what I've read, is the first arc just about getting the gem I think it was? Also Re:Zero is originally a web novel? Interesting. |

Oh I love to read the Japanese comments under the new PV. Half of them don't know what to think of the show and the other half comes through and explains the story to them. In literally any comment they call the PV a "fraud" because it's literally that. Someone made the funny but strange comparison "It's like you give a child an ice cream but there are nails hidden in it". |

Well the marketing makes it seem like another trapped in another world like anime, plus the cute heroine so kudo's to White Fox's staff. We'll know in about a day if they delivered on their first episode or not. |

We'll know in about a day if they delivered on their first episode or not. I don't know if it is intentional or not. This may be a strategy from them to create a certain "wow" moment and hook as many people as possible after the first episode. I know that any "happy" or heartwarming moments are followed by pain and just pain. Oh well I know that I'll be sucked into feeling good again and it will crush my feelings again. Oh yeah not long until it airs. I so can't wait for the comment section here and over at reddit as well as the reactions. |
