Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Break Time 2nd Season

Each episode of the second season of Re:Zero had a corresponding episode in this short chibi series. Essentially, these are short comedy skits with the characters in the chibi style, this is mainly done through Otto's diary as he is writing about the adventures.


Even though a lot of people may say the art style is too basic, it needs to be remembered that this is on purpose. Moreover, I would like to point out how clean and smooth the actual animations are - the art style itself is actually of a very impressive quality, even within such a simplistic form.


I personally feel like there were ... not nearly enough sound effects/music in this. Whilst I am aware that the episodes are only 3 minutes so there is not a lot of time to put them in, it just feels like it is lacking sound other than a doorbell like sound at the start of the episodes and the voice acting.


Otto Suewen - A merchant who just couldn't sell his oil, got kidnapped by a cult and saved by the main story protagonist, Natsuki Subaru.

Aaah, Re:ZERO... what a series I had been missing out on! After having watched the first season in less than 2 weeks, I immediately continued on with the second one and boy, was I satisfied! The second season of this work of art is (almost) as amazing as the first. Now knowing all the possibilities of this new world presented to us, we are shown much more character development outside of Subaru himself. I have to say that it's a shame season 2 ends on such an abrupt note, but I suppose every nice thing has an end. I was disappointed that Rem never returned ... from the state she was put in, but again, the future seasons will probably resolve that issue! I do think season 1 was more enjoyable and it certainly was more of a rollercoaster of emotions, but season 2 really teaches us who our main cast is and why they're involved in this story. Overall I recommend this series to anyone that can handle seeing their favorite characters die... multiple times... Re:ZERO was amazing, and I'm looking forward to season 3 already :)

It wouldn't be a re:Zero season without one of these I guess, or should I say, it wouldn't be a popular TV series without one of these, period.

Seasonal fatigue is a real thing, and for completionists, it's even more so a curse in the form of a challenge.

“Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Break Time 2nd Season” is as its predecessor promised, Chibified commentary over the events of the corresponding season, although, this one spans both parts of season 2, so be careful about spoilers. The first 13 episodes revolve around re:Zero seasons 2 part 1, so it's better you watch it after that and even more critical ... to stop at the 13th episode.

The 12 last episodes are mainly commenting on part 2 of season 2, some of them even unexpectedly explain critical plot points that were either left vague or undisclosed in the main season which I found as a weird and questionable direction call.
I won't be missing this one in all honesty, don't look up to anything spectacular. Govern your expectations and buckle in.

Overall: (4/10).
