 Re:Zero - The Frozen Bond OVA [SUB] (2019) 8/10


Hello everyone. I’m going to make this review short so here we go. This is the second OVA for Re:Zero: Starting Life in Another World - The Frozen Bond. (the first OVA was Memories of Snow, which was just a snow day OVA taking place before the stuff with the White Whale). The Frozen Bond was released on November 8, 2019, with this being a prequel to the events of the main story with Subaru. The Frozen Bond is a little over an hour long with this basically being an origin and background story for Emilia and how she met Puck and the prejudice she had to overcome. This is a very heartfelt backstory for Emilia and makes you feel for her more than what the first season already did.

I do appreciate this OVA and how it builds up Emilia to be a much more capable person. You see her break down and hate herself for what she is and then Puck is there to build her back up. I’ve already liked Puck a lot but this OVA gave me a lot more respect for him. The art direction and animation is similar to that of season 1 Director’s Cut, which I’m perfectly fine with. Music is decent but forgettable. Honestly my only gripe with the OVA is that I wish we got to see Puck vs Melaquera last a little bit longer. If you enjoyed the first season (I don’t see why you wouldn’t) then you will enjoy this OVA. Also this OVA seems to be crucial for season 2 (a specific plot point at that). Anyway, stay safe out there.


Thanks for reading and I’ll see you next time.

This is Zorgak, signing off.
