Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-

In "Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-", Subaru Natsuki's life takes a surreal turn when, after leaving a mundane convenience store, he is abruptly uprooted from his ordinary existence and deposited into a fantastical realm.

What begins as a bewildering journey quickly turns ominous when Subaru, armed only with a bag of groceries and a now-defunct cell phone, falls prey to a group of assailants who administer a merciless beating. His prospects seem grim until a mysterious and resolute figure named Satella intervenes and saves him. Satella is on a relentless quest to recover her stolen insignia, and in gratitude for Subaru's assistance, he offers to aid in her mission. Their alliance leads to the discovery of the insignia's whereabouts on that fateful night, but lurking in the shadows, an insidious malevolence tracks their every move.

Tragically, Subaru and Satella's efforts culminate in a gruesome end, as they fall victim to a brutal murder. Yet, in an inexplicable turn of events, Subaru awakens to an eerily familiar scene, confronted once more by the same band of assailants, and the enigma of his predicament deepens as history unexplainably repeats itself. "Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-" embarks on a gripping odyssey that fuses elements of fantasy and time loop, as Subaru's plight takes on an increasingly perplexing and sinister dimension.
