Today's pick in the Daily Anime Pick-Series where I pick one anime each day that I think is worth watching is Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu!
This is another another world anime: A shut-in NEET gets dragged into a fantasy world and receives Returns by Death, a power that revives him at an earlier point in time whenever he dies.
With him thinking that he is some kind of superhero he soon gets himself in a partially self induced partially externally caused mess. In this anime you'll see Subaru Natsuki, a non op and actually flawed character, struggle against an unknown force that is out to kill him and his newly obtained beloved ones. The execution is close to perfect and you can feel the effort White Fox put into this.
It needs to be said that this anime appears to be very family friendly at first but later on in the series you'll see a lot of brutal stuff happening to the characters, so keep that in mind. But if you can handle a bit of gore then I urge you to watch it.
Description
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.
