Plot Summary:

Suddenly high school student Subaru Natsuki has been summoned to another world on the way back from the convenience store. With the biggest crisis of his life being summoned to another world and no sign of the one who summoned him, things become worse when he is attacked. But when he is saved by a mysterious silver-haired girl with a fairy cat, Subaru cooperates with the girl to return the favor. When they finally manage to get a clue, Subaru and the girl are attacked and killed by someone. Subaru then awakens in the place he was summoned and notices he gained the ability "Returns by Death." A helpless boy that only has the ability to rewind time by dying. And beyond the despair can he save the girl from the fate of death?

It looks like Re:Zero's anime domain address got leaked by Kadokawa. Incoming anime adaptation:

Ok....that actually sounds kind of interesting.

The first part was pretty standard fantasy, but wow....that's quite the special ability. Going to be some interesting repetition going on there with the MC trying to find a path that will keep him and the girl from dying. I can get behind a character trying desperately to save someone even if it means suffering death over and over again. Strangely a lot of the characters I like have gone through something of that nature.

Also be interesting to see the connection between him and the girl as her life is constantly reset while he remembers everything and keeps on struggling. Also kind of curious of the limitations of that ability. I mean if he lives to like 95 does he get reset again if he dies a natural death?

[The One Above God]

Wait...already?! Damn, maybe I should continue reading this soon.

[Izayoi Sakamaki]

Woh, I'm reading the first chapter of the manga & the MC is pretty cool !

[Sacredus]

It has already 6 Volumes and had 10 place in last 'Kono Light Novel ga Sugoi!' in "new works" category, so IMO it's good time to animate this.

[tsunade666]

WOW. Its going to be animated. I hope for a fall season but its too late for that. Please 2 cour and make it as good as steins;gate.

[aohige]

The protagonist starts out as one of the most annoying POS protagonist in all of Narou novels.

Then he has to pay for all the moronic actions, and redeem himself.
It's a Zero to Hero story, and the "Zero" isn't at the beginning of this story... it's well into the story. In fact the chapter was called "From Zero" and it's 120+ chapters in.

Unfortunately this caused a lot of people to stop reading, as they couldn't stand him.
I wonder if the same thing is going to happen in the anime. I'll have to keep preaching that it'll all pay off.

One thing I will say though.
The hardships the protagonists will go through would make Guts from Berserk feel sorry for him and pat him on the shoulders to say "hang in there, bro".

[Marina2]

This one has very depressing story. I finished novel vol.2 and I don't feel like to continue as I heard future volume wil be even more depressing.

[Yamada II]

Wow. That is some messed up power the protagonist has there. This could be interesting. I'll keep an eye out for this one.

[Tenzen12]

I read so far only first arc, but protagonist up that point showed fair share of wits, nothing that would warrant him tittle of moron.

[Wandering Soul]

This sounds interesting and it reminds me of Stein's Gate a little.

Then read more. He's canonically a fool.

[Tenzen12]

That's not possible. I don't understand moon runes (yet)...

doubt they're planning to have only one volume adapted... or are they?..

There's nearly 400 chapters out already, over the course of 3 years.

i'm following only the manga, my reaction came from there

but let's say, how many episodes do you think they could make out of the first volume/ark alone? 3 to 5?

Re:Zero is still a MF Bunko J's light novel, so probably 1-cour spotted.

[ReinZwei]

*Crossing Fingers* for a good studio and staff for this one...

[aohige]

Well, this Sunday 7/19 Japan time is when MF bunko is holding its light novel convention.
2015 Summer School Festival
http://bc.mediafactory.jp/bunkoj/fes2015/

If the anime adaptation is true, they'll likely announce it there.
We may have an answer in day and a half!

[tsunade666]

I hope it will air this fall. It will make a good fall season even without index III.
