Major Isekai Anime Confirms Release Date & Episode Count Ahead of Crunchyroll Return

One of Crunchyroll’s biggest Isekai anime franchises is returning with a brand new season later this April, and the anime has finally set a release date for its big Season 4 premiere. Isekai is one of the most popular subgenres as there are a number of new shows fighting for fans’ attention every few months. But then things get even more competitive as those successful Isekai franchises then can go on to have multiple sequels of their own too. There’s no better example of this than with Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World-.

Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World- Season 4 has now confirmed it’s going to be making its debut on Wednesday, April 8th in Japan. To celebrate the confirmation of its release date, the anime also revealed how long this new season is going to be sticking around. Not only confirming it’s going to be lasting for 19 episodes in total, Re:Zero has also revealed a breakdown of the arcs that fans will be seeing in action with the new season too. Check out a new look at Re:Zero -Starting Life in Another World- Season 4.
