The Current State of The Re Zero Anime and The Web Novel 

The make it or break it point for Re Zero is upon us

The author has been cooking and he is going to cook now

"Subaru isnt as easy to kill now" Todd: and i took that personally

Arc 6 will have hard time in anime because it relies on narration. But arc 7 and 8 went over the top, and i absolutely love those. Problem with those two is that the spectacle will be impossible to animate and it needs several EX novels as build up.

The animators had a really hard time animating Emilia's assets with one hand for this season ✋😔

good to know we are getting over 25 episodes of RE Zero starting this year.

one thing arc 7/8 are supposed to imitate what happened 400 years ago when sattela was on rampage , Basically the absolute state of chaos.

I'm happy it's at least getting a new season while the NGNL fans and the Noragami fans (me) have been waiting for almost a decade at this point.

You know something is a Masterpiece when you are debating not other show but one up his own arcs before

Arc 5 isn't really that bad tbh. The issue will be later arc 7 and my god..... Arc 8 will be a massive undertaking. The sheer scale of this arcs fights are on a different level.

The only concern I have for season 3 is the stuff that has been cut from season 1-2 that will be making a comeback in arc 5 and 6 not being properly integrated.

I like how web novel readers dont spoil and i am grateful to be in this community

Hard to animate or hard while animating?

arc 8 been crazy

Love the music in the background, it gives a vibe to the video. Just wanted to point out that its a little too loud in some parts (mainly very beginning) Also, the new season is gonna be 🔥 in White Fox we trust! And maybe, just maybe we could see other studios helping with arc 7 & 8. MAPPA? MAD HOUSE? 👀

I will be there no matter what regardless. Re Zero is peak

Looking good so far No point getting anxious from now What i am REALLY SAD about is why dont we get those banger ops we used to get in MT with those beautiful bgs those were really beautiful and i miss how season 1 was directed

This season is gonna be big, Emilia definitely got the memo.

one thing that you seem to have not considered. the LN. I had a fill complains about rezero season two only to learn that my complains were not because the anime was rushing it, but because the LN removed obscene amounts of world building. You even mentioned arc VI and i agree arc VI phenomenal. But i remeber that i was reading arc vi and raise a concern that if the author would end romoving a scene from that arc from the LN ( the one where characters turn on each other). Then someone come saying he had removed but another one corrected and said was kept ( althought others were removed). So using the WN as guide on what expect of the anime seems to be kinda of bad idea since many things can and will be changed in the LN.

Seeing as they only made 2 animes between season 2 and 3 of re:zero, I feel like they've been working on season 3 for at least 2 years so I'm not really worried about how it's gonna turn out tbh

As an anime only I'm hyped for it. Also I clicked your MAL and its really outdated. You should do an update or link a more current list. I would love to see your thoughts on various things. Thanks for all you do Chibi. Keep it up my dude.

The right tunel loop from arc 6 is one of the most visceral read i've ever experienced, this loop will be very challenging to animate... I'm trying to temperate my expectations

Yeah... the latest arcs are something out of a shounen genre. I mean, its an Isekai and all, action should be expected, but sometimes its too much. I much prefer the mystery/horror aspects of Arc 6. Then again, with everything the novel throws at us with Story-Breaker power after Story-Breaker power (like seriously, Soul Marriage is OP as fuck; dragon breathes can be stopped by a curse... somehow...; The main villain has a fucking orbital magic surgical cannon... like seriously, Re Zero world REALLY sucks to live in), I kinda can get through.

The ending of arc 6 is very “anime”. I can already visualize that final scene with some dramatic anime outro playing 😂

Arc 5&6 is gonna be difficult, but I know it’s gonna be lit. The studio should do the fight scenes justice😅

Man I can wait for season 3 ..After watching re zero season 3 ,I will start novel. Because I can't wait 2040 to finish re zero .😅BTW I drops Chibis video before he talk about spoilers. But I promise after finishing re zero novel I will check out Chibis all novel. Based video's 🎉

I'm caught up on the web novel and still can't make up my mind if I love it or not. The story didn't go the direction I wanted it to. But I like hearing other folks' opinions and thinking about it all. One thing is certain, the later arcs are very different from the early ones. The storytelling style is entirely different. Which has its good and bad points. I most enjoyed the style of arcs 1-3 and they remain my favorite. But I loved them so much I can't find it in me to hate anything the rest of the arcs do, even if they don't go where I wanted them to.

Arc 8 talks and more.. Arc 8 deals with Sphinx and the purpose of Echidna creating Sphinx. It also shows how strong "a clone Echidna" Is.. Given that actual Echidna might be way more menace to deal with. We also got to know that Echidna was Al's sensei!? (Is that really true, I heard people say that on reddit.. I'm puzzled on how can that be possible) Though, the real cooking actually lies in the felt camp side story where they revealed Pandora! Arc 9 should be a massive W that Arc 7 and Arc 8 haters are Probably waiting for.

If blue ray is uncesored like season 1. Ill being buy all of it.

This video hyped me up for the new season. Cant wait for the battles

W RU-vid recommendations 0:40

We surprisingly got the last two chapters of arc 8 yesterday. Arc 8 is over. 5 more chapters to translate and then we’ll get another Re:Zero video by Chibi.

I'm sure it's going to be okey for Arc 6 when it comes out. For anime onlies, Re:Zero was never about action.

Chibi when i read the chapter when Sphinx became the witch of greed, i was so shocked i was moving in circle in my room for a good 5 minutes.

When you said gushing, I thought you're talking about gushing over magical girls

I hope everything goes well

While I agree arc 5 is going to be hard to animate for dynamic/action reasons, I wouldn't agree that arc 6 is going to be any easier. We've got so many creatures and so many absolutely iconic moments that could easily be fucked up...

Ive listened to season 3 arc and it to real. The whole show is amazing and i love it. I thi k this nxt arc will be translate fine. Just do 2 cores and it would be nice is they were the same length as the first season. To me rezero need 45 min eps. There enough action and story telling tht 45min go by quick.

Feels like the breakpoint for this show as an anime only is based on if you're willing to hold onto a series for 20 years. I am, but friends are not

The Current State of The Re Zero Anime and The Web Novel.

I want to remind everybody that anime is line for line adaptation of Light novels not Web novels. If you read story on Witch cult translations and not from physical copy, there is going to be some difference. I often see people say that anime adaptation skipped a lot of stuff but if you read LNs, that is simply not true. I read first 20 volumes and I can only name two noticeable skipped things and those are Echidna's leaving the Santuary and Al's origin. Everything else is perfectly adapted.

I've said it before, somewhere while arc 4 (season 2) was my personal favourite because of the lore and character development we got from everyone involved, arc 5 is probably the craziest arc in the novel (in terms of action and fights we are going to get). I mean just imagining Subaru's first death in this arc is giving me chills. And man people are finally going to realise just how busted Reinhard is.

Curious, how do you like arcs 7 & 8 each overall? As an anime only, I’ve mostly heard that they’re alright/fairly good.

one thing that took away my involvement with the new characters is that they seem to be arc specific characters, like most of them live in vollachia and when this arc ends and the main cast returns to lugnica they wont ever appear again.

Omg we’re cooking daima and re zero!!

I hope they animate Emilia and Regulus ntr scene

Let them cook! 🔥🔥🔥

What’s ur no.1 fav anime chibi? Movie too!

This is the same worry the Vinland Saga author had with season1 to season2. The answer is balance. You add just enough of the content that lures people in who are more the average, not heavily tied into series viewers. Vinland Saga season 2 had very little action but it did very well and employed the strategy mentioned. Re:Zero is going to use the lessons learned from Vinland Saga. I am very comfortable saying the risk is low for failure here.

i hope they dont just go to arc 7 from arc 6 with no EX material in between. maybe several OVA between seasons 3 and 4

Re Zero has also been on my mind lately, since I’ve been doing my rewatch in preparation for season 3 rn. I’m interested in reading it but witchcult doesn’t have arc 3 and the light novels are lowkey prohibitively expensive, especially compared to western fantasy novels (which just offer more bang for your buck per volume). Wish we could get omnibuses for light novels because as a fan of western fantasy novels too, those bois get thiccc, something light novels very much aren’t.

call me an archbishop of sin because my religion is rezero

man i just wanna see reinhard jump back from the moon

Wait, wasn't Echidna already resurrected at the end of arc 4?

The 2023 net sales data for Kadokawa tells a story of management incompetence. It's make or break for Re:Zero because print sales for 2023 are not in it it's top 10. This is a little deceptive because merch is big for Re:Zero but does that go to Kadokawa or the studio? On the other hand, the print sales leader for Kadokawa by a decent margin was Mushoku Tensei but it gave the animation rights to Toho. I think MT breaks SAO's streak. Merch is not that big for MT. Animation makes multiples of print so Kadokawa threw away their largest product by not investing in the animation. Instead, they are rushing out audiobooks,, opening sales in latin american countries and even Italy recently. Toho must be mopping up but that could have been Kadokawa's money.

Anime did arc 4 dirty(sesaon 2) but it was still 10/10 masterpiece. But yeah arc 5 is very action heavy it needs great animation it can't afford production blunder like season 2. S3 legit is make or break it for re:zero because the hype is already low because of these huge wait between season and if after all this wait it isn't quality it stinks.

hey Chibi

can someone tell me where can i read the webnovel in eenglish and how far has it been translated compared to the japanese version?

Great 👍🏻 video nice 👍🏻 hype!!!!!!!!!!

Al really is the mvp of arc 8. Bro died tens of thiusands of time to get the good outcomes. Well, he was kind of forced because of Cecilus' actions, but still. Really interesting to see the way he uses return by death compared to Subaru.

Overlord made it boys 😂. Light novel for it is huge in sales i think.

Is there difference between re:zero light novel and web novel? Or are they the same thing?

where exactly can I read the novel? From the start

personally i dont see the fighting scenes being on par comparatively to what the standards been set by other big studios... unless they decide to spend money for big names to work on action sequences. but i do believe the story board will be fine eveen with the massive difference in pacing and action compared to other seasons.

Much like Demon Slayer, I smell Re:Zero movies if arc 5 is successful

Re Zero Doujin > Re Zero Anime & Books

Will the anime fully adapt arc 6 as well?

Isn't the web novel a rough draft?

Hi😊

yeah they are royally fucked in empire arc when anime comes nightmare in terms of content to adapt and just physically impossible to animate.

And My GOAT Cecilus name chapter Will Be Hard Animated Cecilus STAR of Actor is Fast Boy Cecilus speed is like Great 5 Luffy or Zenitsu speed fast Sonic ⚡⚡ Boy 🌟

Where can i read the web novel?

👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾

The music in the background made it hard to listen to you.

"Make it or break it" lmao, yeah because people won't watch it anymore if they don't animate the way internet people want it to be animated.

I have nothing but love for Re Zero, and nothing but hate for Konosuba 😂

I just want them in Fortnite and I'll be the happiest fan while we wait for season 3, will resume on getting the novels sometime soon too perhaps

Kind of loss interest with Subaru turning into a kid and rem not getting her memories back.

I hated arc 7, and I haven't read 8, but by extension, I hate it too. Arc 6 had such a powerful message and had such a climax to continue on from just for a random teleport to occur. I won't go into further details in the interest of spoilers but he literally just threw out the main plotline and added the weakest cast we've ever seen from Rezero. The new characters were hideous. The only exception I would give is to Todd, and if I'm being really kind, maybe Vincent. The plot was random. It threw out the meaning of arc 6 despite it being the most powerful moment in the entire series and the culmination of Subarus development in every arc till now. I'm someone who loves stories more than anything else. I've been excited for new mushoku tenseii, konosuba, the jujutsu kaisen and chainsaw man manga. All of these have been on my mind and it's always rewarding after I've done work to catch up with them. But I haven't thought about season 3 of Rezero once since I watched the trailer. Arc 7 was so miserable to read that I no longer care for the story. Even then I think its a little ridiculous to think season 3 will be good, the action wasn't great in the original source/webnovel but there's surely no chance this studio can manage it. Afterall, as much as I like s1 and s2 of Rezero the fights have always been a downgrade where they take major factors out that make them weird and interesting. Roswaal vs Puck+Ram is the best example it was far better in the light novel than the anime and showcases why Roswaal is such a terrifying figure. My point is even though Im a big Rezero fan and its my second favourite after Konosuba, I'm not sure I'll even watch the new season.

Honestly, the last season of Re:Zero turned a lot of people off the anime and with good reason. I hope this season is far better and rekindles what season one brought us in hype and excitement. They just have to fix the awful pacing issues of least season and this next season will be great.

Get to the point

10:17 Sucks that I have to stop at this point

Really excited to see how White Fox will handle Arc 5 & 6

I didn’t watch the full video yet and ima tell yal in advance the anime will do fine. And the WN is just on a bit of a break because of the anime most likely. We are going to be eating good don’t worry.

If you liked the anime you gunna love arc 5 You liked arc 5 you gunna love arc 6 Arc 7: OMG ITS TODD!!!! LFG!!!!

MT fans smirking because our series source mattirial is finished I feel for the re zero community but the novels are way better love the anime but imagine Nagatsuki sensei takes a few years off to play video games
