Do you wish you had a reset button that could take you back to a time when you hadn’t made any mistakes? If you answered yes to all of those questions, Re-Zero is the anime for you!
A novel with an unfastened plot, which does not take place in a unique environment, will stand out among other books because of its wonderfully fleshed-out characters. All of the main characters’ personalities develop, and all of the minor characters are amusing and distinctive.
However, things aren’t all perfect for Re-Zero’s protagonist. The story’s numerous gore elements are a result of the characters’ actions.

Watch Order
Re-Zero consists of two seasons, with 25 episodes each. The first season was aired from February to June of 2016, and the second season is now available. A director’s cut has been released in April 2020, in addition to the two seasons. Each episode is an hour long.
Which Cut is Better? The Original vs. the Director’s Cut- What to Watch
The original TV series has 25 episodes and runs for 25 minutes each. The Director’s cut, on the other hand, is made up of 13 half-hour episodes. The storyline for both films is essentially the same, with only a few extra sequences and minor modifications to the director’s cut.
While the narrative is largely identical, the director’s cut is of higher quality, with better animation than the original. It’s best if you watch the director’s cut first, then go back to the original unless you want a second viewing of the same story.
If you’ve already seen the film, it’s completely up to personal taste. The director’s cut is the way to go if you haven’t watched the anime in a long time and want to get ready for season 2. Alternatively, if you’re a few episodes behind, the director’s cut is available after episode 6 because that is when major modifications begin to appear.
