What the audience says

Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- has pulled the kind of numbers most Japanese series never see.

What the critics say

Early viewer reviews on TMDB lean strongly positive.

Is it worth starting?

This is a first season — Japanese animation, leaning drama, not one for younger kids. Tight enough that it's an easy yes if you're undecided.

Story

Natsuki Subaru, an ordinary high school student, is on his way home from the convenience store when he finds himself transported to another world. As he's lost and confused in a new world where he doesn't even know left from right, the only person to reach out to him was a beautiful girl with silver hair. Determined to repay her somehow for saving him from his own despair, Subaru agrees to help the girl find something she's looking for.
