Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World- (Japanese: Re:ゼロから始める異世界生活 Hepburn: Ri:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu) is a Japanese light novel series written by Tappei Nagatsuki and illustrated by Shinichirou Otsuka. The story centers on Subaru Natsuki, a hikikomori who suddenly finds himself transported to another world on his way home from the convenience store. The series was initially serialized on the website Shōsetsuka ni Narō from 2012 onwards. Nine volumes have been published by Media Factory since January 25, 2014 under their MF Bunko J imprint.

The series' first three arcs have been adapted into separate manga series. The first, by Daichi Matsue, was published by Media Factory between June 2014 and March 2015. The second, by Makoto Fugetsu, has been published by Square Enix since October 2014. Matsue launched the third adaptation, also published by Media Factory, in May 2015. Additionally, Media Factory published an anthology manga in June 2016. An anime television series adaptation by White Fox began airing on April 4, 2016 with an hour-long special. In August 2016, game developer 5pb. announced plans for a visual novel based on the series.

Both the novels and the first manga adaptation are published in North America by Yen Press. The anime adaptation has been licensed by Anime Limited in the United Kingdom.

Plot

Subaru Natsuki is suddenly summoned to another world. With no sign of who summoned him, he soon befriends a silver-haired half-elf girl. When he and the girl are mysteriously killed, Subaru awakens and discovers that he has acquired the ability "Return by Death", enabling him to reverse time by dying.

Production

Light novel

The series' editor at MF Bunko J, Ikemoto Masahito, first became aware of the web novel in April 2013, when it began to appear on his Twitter feed.[1] He was immediately impressed by the series' use of Return by Death, and how it was a "depressing, yet surprising, twist on the fantasy genre", and began working with Nagatsuki to adapt the series into a light novel.[1][2] Most light novels are around 250 pages in length, but Nagatsuki submitted a manuscript that was over 1,000 pages long for the first novel, forcing Ikemoto to edit it heavily. While Nagatsuki wanted to engage in worldbuilding early on, Ikemoto felt that it was more necessary to make the readers feel engaged with the characters. He ended up rearranging the story so that parts focusing on the world and its lore were pushed back to the third arc of the series.[2]

Prior to his involvement in Re:Zero, illustrator Shinichirou Otsuka worked on video games, which led him to draw the backgrounds first when illustrating the series.[3] After reading the web novel, he submitted a number of character designs for the major characters to Ikemoto.[1] Subaru's initial design made him look like a delinquent,[1] with Otsuka later describing it as "not the face of a boy in his teens",[4] leading Ikemoto to request that the character be "more friendly and less fierce" so that the audience could empathize with him during emotional scenes.[2] Originally, Emilia's character design appeared extremely plain, so a number of features were added to make her more interesting.[2] Ikemoto specified that she must fit the "archetypal heroine" mold.[1] Rem and Ram also underwent significant changes from the first draft: their original designs lacked the characteristic hair parts, and their maid uniforms were longer and more "traditional".[2]

Anime

Development and production

The possibility of an anime adaptation came up early in the development of the series; Sho Tanaka, a producer at Kadokawa, asked Ikemoto about properties which might lend themselves to being animated, and Ikemoto recommended that Tanaka read Nagatsuki's web novels.[1][2] Despite an initial miscommunication which led to Ikemoto believing that Tanaka wasn't interested, talks of adapting the series began soon after the web novels began the transition to print.[2]

As part of talks for the potential anime adaptation, Ikemoto and Tanaka spoke to Tsunaki Yoshikawa, an animation producer at studio White Fox, about the possibility of his studio animating the series.[2] Hoping to adapt the series into an anime similar to Steins;Gate (which White Fox also produced), and having a positive impression of the studio as one that did faithful adaptations, Tanaka then formally approached them about producing the show. White Fox's president contacted Yoshikawa for his opinion, and Yoshikawa recommended they accept, as long as the series "doesn't violate any broadcasting regulations".[1]

Production on the anime began sometime after the release of the fifth novel in October 2014.[3][5] Masaharu Watanabe was chosen by Yoshikawa to direct the series because he had previously worked for the studio doing key animation, while Kyuta Sakai was picked to be the series' character designer and animation director because Yoshikawa felt that she would be able to do justice to the novel's art and also maintain the series animation quality over 25 episodes.[1] Masahiro Yokotani was brought on board to compose the anime, his first time working on a "reborn in another world"-type story.[6] Yoshikawa warned him about the violence in the series, but he was still surprised by the violent and disturbing scenes in novels three and beyond, having only read the first novel when he agreed to work on the project; he delegated the writing of those episodes in the second cour to the other two scriptwriters.[6] Yoshiko Nakamura joined the project sometime after Masahiro had completed the script for episode 3. When it proved unfeasible for Yokotani and Nakamura to write the scripts alone, the decision was made to bring another scriptwriter on board. Gaku Iwasa, the president of White Fox, asked them to hire someone "younger", leading Yokotani to suggest Eiji Umehara. Nagatsuki had recently been playing Chaos;Child, which Umehara had written for, and he approved the choice, suggesting that they let Umehara write the "painful parts"; Umehara was invited to join the project around the time that the scripts for episodes 8 and 9 were being written.[6] Re:Zero was the first light novel adaptation that either of the screenwriters had worked on.[6]

Original author Tappei Nagatsuki was very active in the production of the anime, attending script meetings, recording sessions, and dubbing.[1] When the staff would encounter a problem with a scene, he would occasionally write lines for them to use as reference while writing the script.[6] The series was not initially intended to have 25 episodes, but was extended to give more time to the battle with the White Whale (which was expanded from two to three episodes) and to the content of episode 18 (episodes 16 to 18 were originally supposed to be covered in two episodes).[6] Watanabe's main directive to the staff was to "capture the mood of the novel as much as possible";[3][6] the scriptwriters had discussions about how to compress the dense source material without losing the central elements of the story, and Nakamura recalls working with composition notes that "went on for pages".[6] While planning and scripting the anime, choosing a proper conclusion was one of the most difficult parts for the staff, and a significant amount of time was devoted to choosing what to cover in the final episode,[1] which included material not yet covered in the light novel.[lower-alpha 1][9][10]

After joining the project, both Nakamura and Umehara had to adjust their views of the main character, and were forced to rewrite scenes where they had made Subaru appear "cool". At Watanabe's direction, Nakamura was made to rewrite Subaru's telling of The Red Ogre Who Cried in episode 6 multiple times.[6] The staff also had difficulty deciding on a song to use for Subaru's ringtone that plays during the closing scene of episode 19, considering songs like "Kanpaku Sengen", "The Beard Song", and "M" by Princess Princess, before settling on "Yoake no Michi" from Dog of Flanders.[6]

Soundtrack

While choosing a composer to produce the series' music, director Watanabe wanted to choose someone who had "hit a nerve" with him. A fan of drama series, Watanabe was struck by a piece of music in the medical drama Death’s Organ, and found that the series' composer, Suehiro Kenichirō, had also worked on a number of his favorite anime and drama series.[11] After Suehiro was attached to the production, Watanabe gave him three major guidelines: use human voices during the Return by Death sequences; compose the music like he would for a drama or a movie to capture the emotional scenes; and "pull all the stops" for the suspenseful scenes.[11] Additionally, for the first cour, Watanabe asked for music with a "suspenseful" vibe, while requesting music with a "romantic" feel for the second cour.[11] Both Watanabe and Suehiro are fans of Italian composer Ennio Morricone, and Suehiro tried to take inspiration from his works while composing the soundtrack.[11] Watanabe also requested that there be songs that mimicked Hans Zimmer's score from The Dark Knight.[11] While Suehiro used music that wasn't very "anime-ish" during most of the series, he was asked to use more traditional anime music during the slice of life scenes.[11] A number of times during the series, such as in episodes 7 and 15, Watanabe made it a point to use an entire song, something which is unusual in most anime.[11]

The series makes limited use of its opening and ending themes, and Watanabe has said that he wished he could use them more frequently.[3]

Media

Web novel

The Re:Zero web novel was initially serialized by Tappei Nagatsuki (writing under the username Nezumi-iro Neko (鼠色猫?, "Mouse-Colored Cat") [12]) on the user-generated content site Shōsetsuka ni Narō from April 20, 2012 onwards.[13][14] As of April 1, 2016, six novels and two side stories have been published, comprising a total of 429 chapters.[14]

Following the web novel's publication, Media Factory acquired the series for print publication.[13] The first light novel volume, with illustrations by Shinichirou Otsuka, was published on January 24, 2014 under their MF Bunko J imprint. As of September 2016, nine volumes have been published, as well as two side story volumes and two short story collections. Nagatsuki began a new series of short stories, focusing on the character Elsa, in August 2016.[15] Nagatsuki and Otsuka will publish a short story focused on Petra Leyte in Monthly Comic Alive on November 26, 2016.[16] Kadokawa will publish a 272-page guide to the series' first three arcs, titled Re:zeropedia, alongside the 10th volume of the novels.[17] The light novels are published in English by Yen Press, who announced their acquisition of the license via Twitter on December 2, 2015.[18]

Reception

According to Japanese light novel news website LN News, the series had 1 million copies in print as of June 2016,[60] and over 2 million as of September 2016.[61] The light novel series was the tenth best-selling light novel series in Japan from November 2015 to May 2016, selling 263,357 copies.[62] During that period, the first and second volumes were the 35th and 48th best-selling light novel volumes, selling 49,194 and 41,617 copies, respectively.[63]

Theron Martin of Anime News Network reviewed the first book, praising it for being a somewhat fresher take on the "transported to another world" concept, but leveled criticism at it for bumpy and awkwardly timed dialogue and a tendency for redundancy.[64]

The series ranked number one in a poll of 820 people conducted by the Japanese website Anime! Anime! to determine the best show of spring 2016.[65] Andy Hanley from UK Anime Network considered the anime adaptation as one of 2016's best series.[66]

The series took second place in the 2015-2016 Newtype Anime Awards. Additionally, director Masaharu Watanabe took first place, as did Subaru, Rem, and Puck (in the best male, female, and mascot character categories, respectively). Masahiro Yokotani's screenplay took second place, while the series' character designs (by Shinichirou Otsuka and Kyuta Sakai) took third place. The series' soundtrack and second opening theme both took fourth place in their categories.[67]

In a survey of (primarily female) Otamart users, the series was ranked second on a list of the most successful anime/manga/light novel franchises of 2016.[68]
