The first cours of the new season will begin airing on AT-X at 10:30 p.m. on July 8, followed by Tokyo MX, BS11, and Sun TV, among other stations. The second cours will premiere in January 2021.

Cast
Garfiel Tinsel: Nobuhiko Okamoto (Kami no Tou)
Birma Ryuzu: Aimi Tanaka (Himouto! Umaru-chan)
Echidna: Maaya Sakamoto (Fate/Apocrypha)

The second season was originally scheduled to premiere in April 2020, but was delayed due to the effects of the COVID-19.

The anime series adapts Tappei Nagatsuki's adventure fantasy light novel, which debuted in Spring 2016. Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu: Memory Snow, the first original video animation, screened in Japan in October 2018. Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu: Hyouketsu no Kizuna, which covers the prequel novel included with the first Blu-ray volume, opened in theaters in Japan last November.

Nagatsuki launched the novel on the Shousetsuka ni Narou website in April 2012. Kadokawa began publishing the series with illustrations by Shinichirou Ootsuka through its MF Bunko J imprint in January 2014. The 23rd volume is planned for a June 25 release. of Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu has a cumulative 7 million copies of its volumes in circulation.

Great stuff! Definitely was worth the wait...

I support the split-cour decision wholeheartedly here considering the state of the world at the moment and, in my records, it just makes Winter 2021 just that much better really.

Cast Additions are top-notch as expected. Boy, I just can;t wait for the 8th of July anymore...

This is a good day. Seeing Maaya Sakamoto & Nobuhiko Okamoto being added to the Re:Zero cast is already an awesome thing. We're also getting Umaru~n VA and curious to hear Kouhei Amasaki.

PV is just amazing and we even get to hear the full anime-length song. I can't be more hyped than this most likely!

Wooh!! Finally, it's confirmed and we have a set release date. I don't mind it being split cour though because at least they're going to be able to keep the animation consistent as opposed to having it run for 25 weeks straight and having the animation quality drop by the 2nd half.

No. I can't chose not to watch this show, that's why I called it torture. I like the story and I want to know its continuation, but the bastard will make it so hard for me, I tried to ignore his ass throughout the first season but I simply couldn't, he ruins my enjoyment of the show so much that I never wished for a MC to be sent to kingdom come as much as this one so I can watch the show in peace.

Well..... I'd hope so, but I'd be fine with just less screen time for him.

Split cour? Are they insane? 4th arc has no place where it would be okay to stop once it gets rolling. This will be the ultimate torture they put upon us.

It is actually better this way than a full 25 episode run if the animation quality suffers midway through. Better safe than sorry I guess.

Maybe it best to wait until April 2021? lol

I was a fool to start watching S1 and thinking about watching S2 at the end of the year... I should have waited for one more year lol, since I hate split seasons.

I wonder where this legend that the animation quality has to drop midway comes from. S1 was fine within this perspective.

Greaaat you're one of "those" fans.

As all the Web and light novel readers can tell you is just wait and see. You will either entirely see Subaru differently this season and root more for him. Otherwise detest him more....to be fair this season or "Arc 4" has its fair share of detestable characters so buckle up because you're in for a ride!

I can agree, animation doesn't necessarily drop because of the episode count, it's usually poor scheduling or in the case of Re;zero season 2, scheduling issues

It's probably the producers wanting to get the season out as soon as possible, while keeping in mind the issues that have been going on

It's not strictly a legend if I had could have worded it better. As much as 3 months can go into producing one episode. Things get super hectic once the show starts airing and the studio runs into crunch time. If the studio is handling multiple projects (since this is a large variable), the attention to a single show drops. It's just a general trend.

Check this out if you find time.
