Re;Zero - Starting Life In Another World From Zero - Director's Cut (Series rating: 10/10)

Natsuki Subaru was just your average NEET who went to a 7/11 and was transported into another world. Since there’s nothing he can do about it, he decided to make the best of it. He’s helping out cute elf girls find their stolen goods. He’s dying. He’s meeting a cute thief. He’s dying. He’s meeting murderous exotic women. He’s dying. Hey… want a minute. What’s with all the dying? Well, turns out that Subaru did in fact get a super power when he got transported. He can return to a specific point in time after he dies. It’s basically a savepoint. But he can’t control it and it moves around at random, though only forward. Now Subaru has to navigate this world while trying his best not do die and keep his new friend alive. Why is he doing this? Because he fell in love with Emillia, the half-elf girl, the second he saw her. Well, Natsuki Subaru is in for a wild ride.

Oh boy, this show. Absolutely loved this show. Watched every episode each week and not one episode disappointed. This show is brutal to Subaru though. Not only does he die, but he get traumatized to the point of insanity TWICE. The guy has some serious PTSD. He’s also not your typical MC. He’s not really a good person. He’s decent, and tries to do good, but he has many flaws and insecurities. And he’s better get over them if he wants to reach his goal of making Emillia the queen. The supporting cast is strong, with the exception of, ironically, Emillia. She’s not a bad character, it’s just that at this point in the story there’s not much for her to do. We’ll have to wait for season 2 to get some Emillia character development. Speaking of which, Subaru’s development basically goes forward, backward, sideways… I’m actually surprised he’s still sane.

A bit of an explanation. This is the Director’s Cut. What the means is that the 25 episode series was spliced into 13 double-episodes. There were a few new scenes that were added that were so short you will not notice them. What was actually added that was brand new was a segment at the end of the 13th episode. That is what you really want if you’ve already seen the series. I’ve also added all the extras I had for the regular version. The subtitles are from Erai with the exception of “Starting Break Time From Zero”. Those have subs from Bluraydesuyo.
