Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- (light novel)
| Season 2 will be postponed to the Summer Season (July) later this year as a consequence of the COVID-19 virus hampering the production schedule "greatly". Official Twitter Source: https://twitter.com/rezero_official/status/1236940635606671362 Official Site: http://re-zero-anime.jp/news/#news-200309-tv-3 What a bummer honestly (my most anticipated show of 2020, in fact) but it's completely understandable, in my opinion. Expecting more disruptions in the industry but here's to hoping this will be it. How about you? I hope everyone will come to understand this. Moreover, the release dates for the Op and ED of the season will be postponed from the originally set date of May 13th too, no surprises there. https://twitter.com/Rezero_official/status/1236940574680395776 New Release dates are as follows: 2nd OP theme “Realize” song: Konomi Suzuki - August 26, 2020 (Wed) 2nd ED theme “Memento” song: nonoc - September 2, 2020 (Wed) Edit: In case if anyone is wondering if the Henshuu-ban Programme (Recap Summary currently airing with 13 episodes) is affected by this, it's hard to say as of this moment, but Episode 10 is due to air on the 11th of March as scheduled so not for this week at the very least. Only a change of broadcast time on TV Hokkaido (30 minutes push). Inferred from this post: https://twitter.com/Rezero_official/status/1236940077520941057?s=20 Edit 2: Word from the Creator himself: https://twitter.com/nezumiironyanko/status/1236941223509635073?s=20 https://twitter.com/nezumiironyanko/status/1236942161788067840?s=20 |

| Just saw the news, damn dunno what to say. Well I guess waited this long so another two months won't kill me. |
 |
| than you so much corona-chan, well what can I do, let hope the staff can handle this situation |
 |
| At this point it really wouldn't be a surprise if the Olympics are postponed or cancelled as well. I expect more studios to be severely affected by this as well. Lerche and JC have already been hit really hard. Glad I ended up messing up my PhD application and won’t be able to start Waseda until April. Don’t think September would’ve been good anyway. |

| Sąd news. But I'd rather wait four more months than have another Seven Deadly Sins situation. |
 |
| So, We've to wait 4 months now, damn I was too excited for April, now gonna wait till July. Hoping the staff is all well and fine, and we've at least ToG, Kaguya-Sama and OreGairu in April. |
 |
| Oh wow. Will this also affect the quality of the show? For better or worse? |
 plz @ me |
| Summer will also have shitloads of delays due to Olympics in Tokyo. Unless it will be cancelled. What's next spring show to get delayed. |
 |
| It's a sad news indeed but it's reasonable. I wouldn't be surprised if the worst happened and it is delayed up to 18 months or so. So many events worldwide are being postponed/cancelled indefinitely. Need to take care of themselves first so it's understandable. |
 |
| At least it's still releasing this year... |

| Oh wow I’m upset.😔😑 I was really looking forward to playing Animal Crossing late at night while watching this show. Now that dream is dead.😭 |
| Down on the West Coast They got a sayin' |
| It's a terrible day for rain..... |
| Damn, that's rough. Hope that everyone is okay. I can wait for another year just to see it done perfectly. |

024 said: I’m not sure how anime production works but surely most of the episodes are done before air date? Season 2 has been in production since early 2019, so the push back is most likely due to promotional scheduling conflict as well (merch, cafe collabs, stage shows etc). All public events that can’t be happening due to the virus. I mean two public events promoting the show were canceled already prior to this.Oh wow. Will this also affect the quality of the show? For better or worse? At the back of my head, I got feeling this might happen but you know I didn’t think they were going to actually delay the show. |

| "My disappointment is immeasurable, and my day is ruined". This famous quote describes my situation right now...it tastes so bitter....god i cannot believe this actually happened but i guess its understandable. Everyone from Japan, stay strong <3 |
Ushiromiya Battler, right now, on this island, no one exists except for you. You're the only one alive in this island. However I'm here right now, and i'm about to kill you. Who... am I? |
| Damn this one does hurt pretty badly but I guess it can't be helped, let's just hope everyone stay safe |
| Saw this on twitter and it's sad news. I hope everyone stays safe. |

| production problems is what cause the delays more likely since China and South Korea are heavily affected by the virus too and we know this 2 countries are also the main outsourcing places of the anime industry so expect more production delays of other anime |
| This is stupid. Have proper hygiene procedures at work. Make sick people take time off. Instead they are just going to delay anime out of fear. There is going to be even more cases of Coronavirus by July than there are now, so are we going to delay summer anime now too? Even if the situation resolves by fall, you're going to have so many delayed series it won't be possible to air them in the season, so shows will get delayed further, or delayed indefinitely. At some point they're just going to say fuck it, we're working anyway because we aren't making any god damned money. Anime companies taking time off for virus fears, meanwhile lowly people like myself still have to go into work everyday, dealing with hundreds of different customers a day. Such a joke. Galvanometer said: we've at least ToG, Kaguya-Sama and OreGairu in April. Until they are delayed too. |
| Sad, sad news, but what can we do about it. Priority is people's health than production issues now. Let's really hope the people working on this can be at their most healthiest. |
 |
| Damn the disappointment. First time Corona has actually affected me besides football. But there's nothing we can do about it. Hope everyone is well! |
| NO!!!!!!!!!! Damn you COVID-19, Damn you! |
| Nothing in this world lasts forever, and it´s time you accept that. It's better to not cling to these things that you will eventually lose. |
Piromysl said: Sąd news. But I'd rather wait four more months than have another Seven Deadly Sins situation. There completely different circumstances. Re Zero isn't being delayed due to low production value, I highly doubt that this delay will even affect the show much at all. SDS however should have stayed in the oven a little longer. |
| I didn't expect Konomi to have a song in S2 since she moved to MAGES. |
| The only thing I'm surprised about is why they didn't announce this at the livestream a few days ago. Maybe it's because they didn't want to disappoint a live audience. Anyways, this is the second TV anime to be delayed a full season. Really hoping Railgun S3 doesn't get more delays because of the virus going on even with the production right now in question. |
 |
| It’s not that great problem for me, it’s better to prevent everything in the correct way. |
 |
| I remember a lot of korean names in the credits of the first season so I guess the outsource guys are affected by the mass quarantine that's going on in SK. |

That's the issue. Deen had barely a year to complete the project from scratch, while deadline was already set. Here, however, fans of Re:Zero expect nothing less than a masterpiece, and I am fully willing to spend four more month to set it in stone. |
|
| I understand why they did this, but this is a let down. |

JayD2106r said: What about the OVA movie(The Frozen Bonds) which was scheduled to be releasing the DVD/Blu-ray version in April? Will that be affected? No word on that. However, during the live stream yesterday, I believe they announced that it'll be coming out on the 1st of April (don't take my word on this though) so I'm guessing that's clear for now at least. |
#Anime4Life be my Life Motto! #PrayForKyoAni |
| well, a little bit disappointing but at least it gives me more chances to follow other new stuff from this Spring instead. |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| Goddamnit, was expecting this one. |
