Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World

Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World (Japanese: Re:ゼロから始める異世界生活, Hepburn: Ri:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu, lit. "Re:Starting Life From Zero in a Different World") is an anime based on the Light Novel with the same name written by Tappei Nagatsuki and illustrated by Shin'ichirō Ōtsuka.

Plot
When Subaru Natsuki leaves the convenience store, the last thing he expects is to be wrenched from his everyday life and dropped into a fantasy world. Things aren't looking good for the bewildered teenager; however, not long after his arrival, he is attacked by some thugs. Armed with only a bag of groceries and a now useless cell phone, he is quickly beaten to a pulp. Fortunately, a mysterious beauty named Satella, in hot pursuit after the one who stole her insignia, happens upon Subaru and saves him. In order to thank the honest and kindhearted girl, Subaru offers to help in her search, and later that night, he even finds the whereabouts of that which she seeks. But unbeknownst to them, a much darker force stalks the pair from the shadows, and just minutes after locating the insignia, Subaru and Satella are brutally murdered.

However, Subaru immediately reawakens to a familiar scene—confronted by the same group of thugs, meeting Satella all over again—the enigma deepens as history inexplicably repeats itself.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) A unique premise where the main character often dies, and miraculously comes back to life, even as much he had to lose his sanity every time he's revived.
 * 2) It has great world building and continuity.
 * 3) Great and likeable characters such as Subaru, Emilia, Rem, Ram, Echidna, Puck, Felix, etc.
 * 4) Phenomical voice acting in both sub and dub.
 * 5) The series is filled with emotional moments such as Subaru and Rem's conversation in episode 18 of Season 1 and Subaru conversation with his father.
 * 6) Well done animation especially for certain moments.
 * 7) In the series we explore what turning your life around really means through Subaru.
 * 8) There's plenty of memorable quotes throughout the series.
 * 9) Spine-chilling Soundtrack from the Openings and Endings to the OSTs.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Sometimes, the series cuts some important scenes from the the original Web and Light Novel, not to mention but Subaru was a little bit unlikable in the first episodes.
 * 2) The three thugs, Ton, Chin and Kan are just generic "hooligans" who mostly existed for filler just like the novel. Even so, whenever they encounter Subaru to corner him, they act like cowards since they stabbed Subaru in time loops.
 * 3) There was a 4 year Hiatus between Season 1 and Season 2.
