The story
It’s been a while since any Season 5 announcement for the anime Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World, and that fact itself has become a hot topic on a thread in 5ch’s Nandemo Jikkyo (Anything Goes) forum. The thread’s original poster noted that Season 4 was announced right as Season 3 wrapped up, with broadcasts starting a year after that — but this time, since there’s no Season 5 announcement at all yet, a gap of more than two years is now guaranteed. The thread lit up with complaints about Season 4’s animation and character designs, plus comparisons to other isekai anime like Mushoku Tensei and That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime, with the opinion that ‘Season 1 was the peak’ standing out.
What people said
This time a gap of 2+ years is locked in.
Are people still watching that trash show?
Same poster — this one's ID also ends in 'd' just like Re: #3, right
So obvious lol 🤣
She came back, but then it got retconned so it wasn't actually a 'Return by Death'
I couldn't get emotionally invested in Shaula at all
I don't watch Mushoku Tensei — it brings back memories of dropping 130,000 yen on a slot machine set to 'setting 6' (supposedly the best odds)
Go get reincarnated in another world already, trash
They're both good, come on
To be precise, I actually dropped it twice since I gave it a second chance and still couldn't handle it.
First time was the scene where Subaru gets beaten up in the arena, then says something he doesn't even mean to Emilia in the infirmary.
Second time was the trial scene where Subaru meets his parents.
That's when I realized this just isn't an anime adults can handle.
Your ID suffix isn't hidden, you know
Feel that
Julius had me cracking up
It just looked kinda cheap
Forget the animation quality — isn't Subaru's face just creepy in Season 4?
Something's off with his eyes
Season 1 was better across the board — character design, direction, animation, all of it

Yeah, this is an anime where everything peaked in Season 1
Guess you really liked that phrase I came up with lol
I dropped Slime by Season 2
I'm done with the stale 'recruit more allies, aren't I amazing' formula
Even in the anti-fan threads, hardly anyone's actually read all the way through the source novels
Every single time, someone shows up thinking Yuuki is the final boss
Background and Key Points of This Discussion
Re:Zero − Starting Life in Another World is a popular anime that’s gone through multiple seasons, and what sparked discussion this time was simply the fact that there’s been no Season 5 production announcement so far. Looking back, Season 4 was also announced right as Season 3 ended, and it still took a full year after that announcement before broadcasts began — so the thread pointed out that the current delay might just mean the announcement itself is late, not that the show has been cancelled. At the same time, complaints about Season 4’s animation and character designs fueled the view that ‘Season 1 was the peak,’ mixing genuine opinions about the show’s quality with frustration over the production schedule and announcement timing. Comparisons to other isekai anime like Mushoku Tensei and That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime also came up, broadening the discussion to the genre as a whole. Readers should be careful not to jump to the conclusion that ‘no announcement’ means ‘the sequel has been cancelled.’
