Re:ZERO Season 5 Anime Officially Announced

Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Season 5 has been officially announced. An ultra teaser visual was also released. Tappei Nagatsuki also released a comment, which you can read below.

Congratulations on the production of Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- Season 5! Congratulations! And thank you very much! I’m the original author, Tappei Nagatsuki!

Season 5! What an incredible number! I have nothing but gratitude for everyone who has supported the series all the way to this point, and for all the staff and cast members who have continued to bring the story to audiences. And of course, that gratitude also goes to the characters who keep challenging their cruel destinies!

The sixth arc covered in Season 4 has been called one of the most difficult parts of Re:ZERO, but don’t worry! The journey through the seventh arc is every bit as brutal, with the difficulty cranked all the way up to inferno. The story continues with the same reassuringly heart-breaking design you’ve come to expect—yes, “heart-breaking” is intentional!

Of course, it won’t all be hardship. There will also be plenty of new encounters, exciting developments, and scenes I can’t wait to see—and show you—in anime form!

Let’s make the journey ahead one that goes beyond anything you can imagine!

Now then, Natsuki Subaru—the next battle begins!

For Season 5, shake with anticipation and excitement together with the author as we wait!
