First look: Re:ZERO Season 2 Collector’s Edition Blu-rays

It’s an exciting time to be a fan of the isekai powerhouse series Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World-, with Season 3 about to start in October. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves… what you need in your life right now is Season 2 of the series on Collector’s Edition Blu-ray, right?

We announced last October that we intended to follow-up our previous, incredible popular, release of the first season in Collector’s Edition form with a release of Season 2 that followed a similar pattern, and today we’re ready to reveal precisely what we have in store for you. There’s no need to relive this moment over and over to find out what we’re up to though – simply read on after the jump as we reveal all!

Before we start though, a TL;DR – you’ll be able to pre-order all of Re:ZERO Season 2 starting next Thursday, 26th September – check out the direct product listings on our online store below!

Our Re:Zero Season 2 release plans

For you long-standing supporters who collected the first season of this hit series back in day, you should recognise our plan for Season 2 in Collector’s Edition form, as we’ll be releasing the show across two Collector’s Edition Blu-ray sets (Part 1 and Part 2), complete with a glorious AllTheAnime.com exclusive storage box to allow you to house the entire series in a single box that will sit perfectly alongside that Season 1 release.

We will, of course, also be releasing Part 1 and Part 2 of the series in a Standard Edition form alongside these Collector’s Edition sets, so if that’s your preference you won’t miss out or have to wait as these editions will be available day and date alongside their Collector’s compariots.

Re:Zero Season 2 Part 1 Collector’s Edition

Shockingly, let’s start by taking a look at our Part 1 Collector’s Edition – feast your eyes on this:

Isn’t she lovely? (And no, we don’t mean Echidna)

This first part of Season 2 features episodes 1 to 12 of the series with both English and Japanese audio with English subtitles, split across two Blu-ray discs. Now, when we said this release was similar to Season 1, we did omit one minor detail which you’ve probably already spotted above – a third disc, containing the first part of the Season 2 Original Soundtrack on CD!

Beyond the discs, there’s a lot to enjoy here – those three discs are presented in an artwork-adorned three-tray Digipak, you get an A3 poster of Echidna (okay, so maybe she is lovely in her own way and we wanted to celebrate that) courtesy of one of the series’ key visuals, and you’ll also find a 52-page art book jam-packed with character artwork and info, backgrounds, props and a collection of key animation.

Here’s a proper look at that part 1 slipcase, featuring Subaru and… I’m actually not sure who that girl on the back is…

Then, we come to the piece de resistance – that webshop exclusive storage box. Behold!

Honestly, I almost forgot to carry on writing this article, I was so captivated looking at the incredible artwork that adorns this storage box – and soon it can be yours to admire on your own shelf! Needless to say, this box will ship with the Part 1 Collector’s Edition contained inside it, and space for Part 2 to be added separately upon its release.

As a final reminder, this storage box is exclusive to our AllTheAnime.com store, and will be strictly limited in number, so pre-order early to avoid disappointment!

Meanwhile, you’ll be able to find the regular Collector’s Edition and Standard Edition across all of your favourite UK retailers.

The retail release date for Re:Zero Season 2 Part 1 is currently scheduled for 18th November 2024, but more importantly pre-orders open on Thursday, 26th September at 5PM, so set yourself a reminder!

Now, on to….

Re:Zero Season 2 Part 1 Collector’s Edition

Now you’ve seen that storage box, let’s show you what will be filling the space within it to complete the series!

As you might expect, our Part 2 release closely mirrors Part 1, with two Blu-ray discs to complete the remainder of the series (episodes 14-25), alongside the second half of the Original Soundtrack on CD, all of which reside in a three-tray Digipack within a rigid slipcase. Also included is another A3 poster and an additional 52-page booklet of artwork, info and key animation.

Here’s a look at both sides of the slipcase:

You’ll be able to pre-order both our Collector’s and Standard Edition Part 2 releases at the same time as Part 1, with pre-orders on our store opening on Thursday, 26th September at 5PM, while the retail release date for Part 2 is currently schedule for 9th December 2024.
