[8] Hoping to adapt the
series into an anime similar to Steins;Gate (which White Fox also produced), and having a positive impression of the studio as one that did faithful adaptations, Tanaka then formally approached them about producing the show. White Fox's president contacted Yoshikawa for his opinion, and Yoshikawa recommended they accept, as long as the series "doesn't violate any broadcasting regulations. "[7] Production on the anime began sometime after the release of the fifth novel in October 2014. [9][11] Masaharu Watanabe was chosen by Yoshikawa to direct the series because he had previously worked for the studio doing key animation, while Kyūta Sakai was chosen to be the series' character designer and chief animation director because Yoshikawa felt that she would be able to do the novel's art justice whilst maintaining a consistent animation quality throughout the series' 25-episode run. [7] Masahiro Yokotani was brought on board as the main writer, with the series being his first time composing for a "reborn in another world"-type story. [12] Yoshikawa
warned him about the violence in the series, but Yokotani was still surprised by the violent and disturbing scenes in novels three and beyond, having only read the first novel when he agreed to work on the project; he delegated the script writing of those episodes in the second cour to the other two scriptwriters. [12] Yoshiko Nakamura joined the project sometime after Yokotani had completed the script for episode 3. When it proved unfeasible for Yokotani and Nakamura to write the scripts alone, the decision was made to bring another scriptwriter on board. Gaku Iwasa, the president of White Fox, asked them to hire someone "younger," leading Yokotani to suggest Eiji Umehara. Nagatsuki had recently been playing Chaos;Child, which Umehara had written for, and he approved the choice, suggesting that they let Umehara write the "painful parts"; Umehara was invited to join the project around the time that the scripts for episodes 8 and 9 were being written. [12] Re:Zero was the first light novel adaptation that either of the screenwriters had worked on.
The movie focuses around a young teenager and his young sister, as they try to survive after losing their home to an air raid. That could
have been a good story to watch unfold, but it wasn't the case with this movie.
Instead, we're introduced to the main character Seita: a lazy, pathetic, worthless and immature brat. While the movie has no technical villain in it, he is one himself. He tries to do
what is best for his sister, and due to that, blindness becomes his biggest fault. That could have been admirable, but not with a character as horrible as Seita.
[65] Anime artists occasionally make deliberate modifications to body proportions to produce
super deformed characters that feature a disproportionately small body compared to the head; many super deformed characters are two to four heads tall. Some anime works like Crayon Shin-chan completely disregard these proportions, in such a way that they resemble caricatured Western cartoons. Wikipe-tan (#1) portrayed in various anime art styles. Counting from No. 2 to 9, each art style base: original work, Kyoto Animation, Naruto, Type-Moon, Case Closed, Sailor Moon, Fujiko Fujio, Studio Ghibli, and Makoto Shinkai. A common anime character design
convention is exaggerated eye size.
