As the isekai genre continues to grow with new anime franchises hitting the medium, old favorites are continuing to drop new seasons to expand their stories. Re:Zero -Starting Life In Another World- is a big mover and shaker that falls in this category and this year’s Anime Japan has confirmed that a third season is on the way. Luckily, on top of the confirmation, the anime franchise has dropped a new trailer to give fans a sneak peak at the upcoming episodes that bring back Natsuki Subaru and Emilia.
While Re:Zero Season 3 will once again bring fans back to the magical world that helped to make the isekai a success, the light environment hides a seedy underbelly as has been seen from the series so far.

With the new trailer and confirmation, the isekai hasn’t revealed exactly when fans can expect season 3 to arrive though the return of the Re:Zero anime has been a long-awaited comeback.

As he’s lost and confused in a new world where he doesn’t even know left from right, the only person to reach out to him was a beautiful girl with silver hair. Determined to repay her somehow for saving him from his own despair, Subaru agrees to help the girl find something she’s looking for…”
