Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World
25 episodes
Natsuki Subaru is pulled out of a convenience-store night and into a kingdom of dragons, spirits and witches. Death is not an ending for him — it is a checkpoint, and the price of every loop is paid in memory and grief.
Start here. The Director's Cut recaps Arc 1–2 in 13 hour-long episodes.
TV series (split cour) · July 2020 – March 2021
Re:Zero Season 2
25 episodes
Trapped inside a barrier-bound Sanctuary, Subaru is forced to negotiate with Echidna, the Witch of Greed, while Emilia faces trials built from her own buried past and the mansion burns behind him.
Watch Memory Snow and Frozen Bond before Season 2.
TV series · October 2024 – 2025
Re:Zero Season 3
16 episodes
The water city of Priestella becomes a battlefield as three Sin Archbishops converge on it at once. Every camp of the Royal Selection is dragged into the same night, and Subaru has to fight as a strategist rather than a survivor.
The largest ensemble battle in the series so far.
OVA film · October 2018
Re:Zero — Memory Snow
1 film (~60 min)
A warm, comedic breather in a snowbound village: a botched investigation, a village of suspicious children, and a night of quiet gratitude between Subaru and the people he saved.
Optional in plot terms, essential in tone.
OVA film · November 2019
Re:Zero — The Frozen Bond
1 film (~60 min)
Emilia's story before Subaru: a half-elf girl waking in a frozen forest, and the contract with a cat-shaped spirit named Puck that gave her a name to hold on to.
Best watched right before Season 2.
