Weekly Review: Re:Zero

Our main protagonist of the series is a high school student known as Subaru. Subaru is the lazy type who prefers to stay locked in his room playing games and such. He has no real aspirations for life, he lives one moment at a time. On his way back from a convenience store one night, he suddenly appears in another world. As he looks around him in confusion, he identifies the world as a fantasy land. His gaming instincts kick in as he begins to assess his environment. He discovers that he speaks the same language as the people here, but his clothes and money are useless. The items he has on his person from his world are also unknown to him, items like his cell phone.

As he is sitting in an alley contemplating his first move and waiting for a beautiful woman to present himself to him like in most fantasy situations, he is attacked by a group who want his items. Thinking in a game mentality and that he should have super strength, he pummels the first two and goes for third. When the last enemy pulls out a knife, he sadly leans in front of him and pleads for his life as he is kicked. During that time, he is rescued by a beautiful girl with silver hair who has the ability to wield magic.

When he awakens from his battered state, he finds that he is fully healed, no doubt by the silver-haired maiden. She says goodbye to her while she was looking for a thief, but Subaru begs her to help him so he can pay her off. Throughout their search journey, they help a young woman who was separated from her mother. Subaru also learns that the girl’s name is Satella and that she is a half-elf. Actually, she’s quite surprised when he’s not afraid of her.

Their quest to find a thief, when they learn his name is Felt, they venture into the depressions. They find themselves in an old warehouse that is some kind of center for stolen goods. Subaru says that he will enter the creepy place first, so he goes inside and tries to move around the dark room. What he finds inside is a man, slumped against the counter and blood everywhere. When he realized what had happened here, he had already been cut down and was lying on the ground. Before losing his life, he saw his friend Satella enter the warehouse and also lose his life.

Then all of a sudden he is standing in front of a merchant in the middle of town. Cool right? The story quickly reveals that this is no ordinary person in an ordinary world. Every time Subaru dies, he is taken back to a certain point in time. During the first few episodes, it is the moment where he stands in front of a shopkeeper moments after being transported to this fantasy world.

This is a very well done anime and I would recommend it to anyone looking to find something new and exciting. It has a typical “boy found in a fantasy world” plot, but underneath that is something truly amazing. We get to see Subaru as he tries to figure out what’s going on and how you got to that world. It’s pretty amazing, just saying! PS her real name is Emilia! 🙂
