because when the Lord Satan finally come to the present world that when the fun begin.
This anime gave us perfectly executed comedy that gonna make you gonna laugh

and the future hero selects Aqua. But Kazuma has made a grave mistake—Aqua is completely useless!

different from how it plays out in a game. Instead of going on a thrilling adventure, the duo must
first work to pay for their living expenses. Indeed, their misfortunes have only just begun!
This anime maybe didn’t have great or meaningful story, but the comedy was really really great.
With a lot of parody references about MMO mechanics, and also with the characters who just
parodies a stereotype of any MMO games characters, this anime can make you laugh so hard. Overall
this anime had a good comedy and good characters even maybe the story was not really that great but
still this anime was really enjoyable because of their goofiness, I really recommended it.
1. Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu
is an anime adaptation from light novel with the same name made by Shinichirou Ootsuka and Tappei
Nagatsuki. This anime aired from April 2016 to September 2016 with total had 25 episodes. There
is also a movie that aired in October 2018. Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu tells
story about Subaru Natsuki, a teenager who leaves the convenience store, but then suddenly dropped
into a fantasy world. Things aren't looking good for the bewildered teenager;
however, not long after his arrival, he is attacked by some thugs. Armed with only a
bag of groceries and a now useless cell phone, he is quickly beaten to a pulp. Fortunately,
a mysterious beauty named Satella, in hot pursuit after the one who stole her insignia,
happens upon Subaru and saves him. In order to thank the honest and kindhearted girl,
Subaru offers to help in her search, and later that night, he even finds the whereabouts of that
which she seeks. But unbeknownst to them, a much darker force stalks the pair from the shadows,
and just minutes after locating the insignia, Subaru and Satella are brutally murdered.
However, Subaru immediately reawakens to a familiar scene—confronted by the same group of
thugs, meeting Satella all over again—the enigma deepens as history inexplicably repeats itself.
This anime itself presents an isekai anime that is not too different from most isekai anime.
By taking a setting in a fantasy world that has a variety of different races,
making this anime is no different from the anime isekai in general. However, what makes
it interesting is the main character, Subaru does not have strong ability and intelligence to help
him while in the fantasy world. That way we will always be curious about how Subaru deals with
various events and conflicts that are considered very difficult and severe. With conflicts that get
heavier each episode also makes this anime provide various tense, emotional, and dramatic moments.
The characters in this anime have unique personalities, and the development of the
characters can also be well explained so that the stories that are presented become even more
interesting. For the visual itself it looks very good, the character design that is displayed also
looks cute, and the animation is also smooth. Overall, if you want to find an anime that is
full of emotional and tense conflicts, this anime might be suitable for you to watch.
