The "Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-" anime series is based on the popular light novels from MF Bunko J (written by Tappei Nagatsuki / illustrated by Shinichirō Ōtsuka). It is a dark fantasy depicting Subaru, who is suddenly lost in another world, facing a harsh destiny using his "Return by Death" ability to rewind time upon dying.

The first season of the anime aired in 2016, becoming a massive hit that led to a second season and multiple OVAs. The third season was broadcast in two parts: the "Attack Arc" in 2024 and the "Counterattack Arc" the following year in 2025.

Episode 71: "Stick Swinger"
[Synopsis]
By solving the "Trial" related to the constellations, the white space of the third floor transformed into a massive library lined with countless bookshelves. Upon touching one volume, Subaru relives a memory that seems to personify the cruelty of innocence. Deciding that finding specific information among the vast collection would be too difficult, the group prioritizes clearing the other floors. The next "Trial" begins as a sword is pulled from the chalk-white domain of the second floor, "Electra."
