I watched this last season and found it to have some interesting concepts. It also followed in the trail of routinely very brutal shows emerging in the past few years. At first it felt like Redo of Healer pasted onto a different story, which I guess is fine when you have something new to say.
In short it's about a witch named Zero and their magic.
Just now I decided to watch Re: zero because it's well known and I felt like I may be missing something, even if the theme didn't seem interesting to me. Halfway into season 2 I started seeing a lot of similar concepts presented here, the same kinds of things I've noticed before with character types being reused as if they all exist in a shared universe despite being different stories. Some of this is too obvious, with the 300 year old loli witch in Dawn of the With and the 400 year old Beatrice in Re: zero.
The mc is constantly subjected to extreme violence, getting his limbs cut off, crushed and so on, only to be healed again. The whole point of watching Re: zero was to see the "original" "Re" anime.
