The show is based on the novels by Tappei Nagatsuki that began in 2012 with Yen Press releasing them and the manga in North America.
Plot Concept: The series follows Subaru Natsuki, an ordinary high school student who is lost in an alternate world and rescued by a beautiful, silver-haired girl. He stays near her to return the favor, but the destiny she is burdened with is more than Subaru can imagine. Enemies attack one by one, and both of them are killed. He then finds out he has the power to rewind death, back to the time he first came to this world. But only he remembers what has happened since.
Yes ! I have been waiting for a English Dub for Re:Zero for So long! The English Dub voice cast is actually kinda more unexpected than I thought. Never heard of Sean Chiplock & Kayli Millis (maybe I did) but to voice Subaru & Emilia, I am unsure about these two but it could good.
Now I wonder who is going to voice Betelguese & Julius & Theresa?
