Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Break Time 2nd Season

To be honest, I didn't have high hopes for Break Time 2. Because, the first one was made for the most part just for fun.
How wrong I was. Seriously, it would be a huge mistake to skip this one. It perfectly reveals and complements the Re:Zero universe. It contains a lot of interesting scenes and information.
Yeah, while watching the second season of the anime, I had some questions, and Break Time 2 answered, if not the all, then the most of them for sure.
All of these stuff should have been included in the second season of the main title.
If you like Re:Zero, then you ... will definitely like Break Time 2.

Normally I am not a fan of these chibi shorts that anime sometimes do. They usually involve comedy I don't find funny but are short enough to be inoffensive. this usually leads me to score them at around a 5.

The shorts this time around, however, are the opposite of what I expected sure they do have comedic elements but they also use them to flesh out characters from the episode the viewer has just watched and they pair really well with them.

I found myself looking forward to them after the episode rather than just putting up with them as I do with most ... of the time.

They are definitely worth a watch alongside season 2 if you are watching it for the first time or are rewatching. I'm not sure I would go as far as to rewatch all of season 2 for them though

It wouldn't be a re:Zero season without one of these I guess, or should I say, it wouldn't be a popular TV series without one of these, period.

Seasonal fatigue is a real thing, and for completionists, it's even more so a curse in the form of a challenge.

“Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Break Time 2nd Season” is as its predecessor promised, Chibified commentary over the events of the corresponding season, although, this one spans both parts of season 2, so be careful about spoilers. The first 13 episodes revolve around re:Zero seasons 2 part 1, so it's better you watch it after that and even more critical ... to stop at the 13th episode.

The 12 last episodes are mainly commenting on part 2 of season 2, some of them even unexpectedly explain critical plot points that were either left vague or undisclosed in the main season which I found as a weird and questionable direction call.
I won't be missing this one in all honesty, don't look up to anything spectacular. Govern your expectations and buckle in.

Overall: (4/10).
