In a recent interview, Masahiro Shinohara ,
the new director of the anime adaptation of “ Re:ZERO
– Starting Life in Another World ”, shared his thoughts and
expectations about the third season that will premiere in October of this year
with an initial episode 90 minutes long.
« Going into the third season, I was asked
to become the new director, and for a popular series like “Re:ZERO – Starting
Life in Another World”, there was a lot of pressure to live up to its
reputation », he commented. Shinohara. « But I think, just as
we went from season one to season two, I wanted to keep that same momentum
going into season three. And instead of trying to keep things
relatively calm or not try too hard in the first episode, I wanted to do the
opposite: really push forward and make sure that season three starts strong and
continues strong. That really motivated me to become the new director ."
In addition, Shinohara announced some changes and
new features that fans can expect in this new installment. « In the
third season, we will not only focus on Subaru and his company. The other
companies will also be part of the plot and will be in the spotlight. It's
not just about Subaru, the other companies and characters will also have more
opportunities to show their highlights . »
The “companies” to which Shinohara refers are the
teams that accompany each of the contenders for the Royal Selection, which will
define the forty-second queen of Lugunica, Emilia being one of them. « In
the previous season, there weren't as many opportunities for that. So I hope
everyone can have high expectations. I hope everyone has fun, enjoy and look
forward to these new changes », concluded the director.
The third season of “ Re:ZERO – Starting
Life in Another World ” promises to bring new emotions and further
expand the universe of the series, offering fans a rich experience full of
surprises. With Shinohara at the helm, the series aims to exceed expectations
and leave an indelible mark on anime history.
