00:33season which will premiere in October this year with an initial 90-minute episode.
00:37Going into the third season, I was asked to become the new director, and for a popular
00:42series like Re Zero Starting Life in Another World, there was a lot of pressure to live
00:46up to its reputation, Shinohara commented.
00:49But I think, just as we went from season 1 to season 2, I wanted to keep that same momentum
00:53going into season 3, and instead of trying to keep things relatively calm or not trying
00:58too hard in the first episode, I wanted to do the opposite, really push forward and make
01:02sure that season 3 starts strong and continues strong.
01:06That really motivated me to become the new director.

04:51media monitoring team.

04:57social media controversy.

05:04the adaptation faithful to the manga, pointing out several deleted scenes and changes in
05:08characterization.

05:51found his version lacked credibility.

05:57initial verdict of murder, indicating that there were no irregularities in the first
06:01instance conviction.
