Re:ZERO will be back until next year
Following the airing of today's episode, a new promotional visual for the third season of the "Re:ZERO – Starting Life in Another World" anime was revealed. As previously announced, this third season will be divided into two parts, with the first ending today.
The second part, titled as "Counterattack Arc", will be released until February 5, 2025 in Japan. The visual in question shows Subaru, Emilia, Reinhard, and the Archbishops of Sin, Regulus, Capella, Sirius, and other characters facing off against each other, a preview of what's to come next year.

A total of two seasons and a variety of OVAs have been produced for the anime adaptation, all by WHITE FOX studios.

Synopsis of Re:ZERO – Starting Life in Another World
Leaving the store, Subaru Natsuki encounters a bustling city inhabited by humans and demihumans. The city, which uses dragons and carriages as a means of transport, is evidently not the modern Japan he knows. However, as someone who spends his days engrossed in comics and games, Subaru assumes he's a protagonist in this new fantasy world, harnessing supreme magical powers. Unfortunately, this is not the case and things quickly go wrong when he runs into a group of thugs. Fortunately, a silver-haired beauty named Satella comes to his rescue, as he searches for his stolen insignia.
In return for their kindness, Subaru offers to help them in the search, which eventually leads them to a loot shop. Assuming that the badge was exchanged for money, Subaru enters the store hoping to negotiate with the owner about the stolen item. However, to their surprise, what awaits them is not the insignia, but a brutal killer who leads the two to their deaths. But instead of waking up in the afterlife, Subaru is surprised to find himself alone in the middle of the day, as if he never left the city in the first place. Thus, his life in another world mysteriously begins a second time.
