Re: Zero author estimates the animated adaptation to be eight seasons

Step Vollachie is a popular Twitter user who often provides behind-the-scenes information for the multimedia franchise from. Splits Re: Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu (Re: ZERO – start life in another world). This information is usually the author’s comments Tappei nagatsuki at private events, so it takes a long time before they go public. It happened recently when the user shared some comments from Nagatsuki at an event in 2018. The user explains: «After doing some research, I found out that there is a virtually unknown lecture that took place in 2018 where the author came up to speak and there is some interesting information».

At this event, Tappei nagatsuki revealed that his prediction is that the animated adaptation of the franchise would last about eight seasons of twenty-five episodes each if the intent was to adapt the entire work. It is worth noting that it is only about “the author’s predictions“Well, there’s always an opportunity for the franchise production team to make other creative decisions.

In this context, some users pointed out that a total of seven storylines still had to be adapted to the animation and, according to the author’s forecast, there would be a total of six seasons. Since there aren’t the same number of arches as the seasons, this would suggest that one of the arches could be rushed, and most agree that it would be the fifth. In the end, it doesn’t hurt to point out again that this is just the opinion of the author, who has no authority over the anime’s creative choices.

Summary of Re: Zero Kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu

Leaving the store, Subaru Natsuki comes across a busy city inhabited by humans and half-humans. The city that uses dragons and carriages for transportation is obviously not the modern Japan he knows. However, as someone who spends his days in comics and games, Subaru expects to be a protagonist in this new fantasy world that has the highest magical powers. Unfortunately, this is not the case with him and things quickly go wrong when he encounters a group of thugs. Fortunately, a silver-haired beauty named Satella comes to her aid as she searches for her stolen badge.

In exchange for his kindness, Subaru offers to help him find what ultimately leads them to a bag shop. Assuming the badge has been exchanged for money, Subaru enters the store hoping to negotiate the stolen item with the owner. To her surprise, however, she does not expect the badge, but a brutal assassin who leads the two to their death. But instead of waking up in the afterlife, Subaru is shocked to be alone in the middle of the day like he’s never left town. So his life in another world begins for the second time in a mysterious way.
