Our list starts with the sequel of Re:Zero. Re:Zero starts when an average otaku, Subaru Natsuki is transported into a fantasy world. Tormented by the trials that drive Emilia to madness, Subaru’s sanity is stretched further by the visions he sees of his past deaths when he used Return by Death. In order to give his loved ones a “happy ending” whether it involves him or not, Subaru was about to make a deal with Echidna which was interrupted by Satella. This upsets Echidna and the series ends with a teaser of “The Witch” and Subaru wishing to make a contract with Beatrice instead. We still don’t know who The Witch is. Are Echidna’s plans ruined? Should Subaru be grateful to Satella? Is his death the only solution to a happy ending? We’re all eagerly waiting for the next season!
