The official Twitter account for the pandemic delayed Re:ZERO ran a trailer which announced July the 8th as the new premier.
Outside Japan, Re:ZERO streamed via Crunchyroll and today they’ve blogged that the start date was the 8th and that they would carry the show.
Re:ZERO is a favourite anime and can be pretty hardcore at times. It’s one of those shows when a guy finds himself inside a game world. He can’t die and instead goes back to the save point to try again.
By brutal, I don’t mean heavy on the gore but that this die-and-suffer loop mechanic shows our hero doing his best to save everyone he can… but you can’t always save everyone.
Season 2 is going to be shown in two parts, and July is just when we’ll get the first part. Frustratingly, it’ll be January 2021 before part 2 reaches us.
The prequel movie The Frozen Bond is still a fairly fresh release and perhaps doesn’t have the same bite as the show. However, it tees up the powerful and meddling entities that are at play in the world.
