Re:Creators (Japanese: レクリエイターズ, Hepburn: Re:Kurieitāzu, stylized as Re:CREATORS) is a Japanese anime television series produced by Troyca. The series is about a high school student who becomes involved in a battle between several characters from manga, anime, and video games who somehow appear in the real world. It aired from April 8 to September 16, 2017, and was exclusively streamed by Amazon on their Amazon Video service. A manga adaptation by Daiki Kase was announced on February 18, 2017.

Plot

Sōta Mizushino is a young high school student and anime fan who dreams of writing his own light novel. While watching the anime adaptation of the mecha light novel Elemental Symphony of Vogelchevalier to look for inspiration, the tablet computer he is watching it on sputters and drags him into the anime's world, where he witnesses a battle between the anime's character Selesia and a mysterious girl wearing a military uniform. After returning with Selesia, Sōta discovers that other characters from different stories and forms of media were also brought to the real world, with some of them aligned with the military uniform girl, who promised them the ways to end the strife in their worlds and a way back home, unaware of her true intentions. To stop her, Sōta and Selesia agree to find the other characters and bring them home; lest the military uniform princess will bring untold destruction to every world that exists.

Characters

Main

Sōta Mizushino (水篠颯太, Mizushino Sōta)
Voiced by: Daiki Yamashita[1]
A 16-year old high school student who likes to draw, but suffers from artists block. He was once friends with Altair's creator, Setsuna. However, he grew jealous of her because of how everyone liked her drawings while his mostly went ignored. As a result of this, he brushed her off when she was accused of plagiarism. However, after learning that she committed suicide, he was left traumatized with self-loathing. As a result, upon learning Altair's true identity, he initially kept this a secret from the others, unable to face his demons. However, he eventually pulls through and resolves to stop Altair to atone for his actions. Following the final battle, he begins moving on and once again starts drawing, having learned that his own approval is all that matters.
Altair (アルタイル, Arutairu) / Military Uniform Princess (軍服の姫君, Gunpuku no Himegimi)
Voiced by: Aki Toyosaki[1]
A mysterious young girl who brought the other creations into the real world. While she claimed to do this to force their creators to alter their worlds, she wants to destroy the real world out of spite over the death of her own creator. It is eventually revealed that she originated from the music video Altair: World Étude created by Sōta's deceased friend, Setsuna. Being a creation without a story, she is able to adopt powers from fan-fictions about her; she calls this ability "Holopsicon". However, overusing these abilities will cause her to fade from the real world, though she can bypass this by getting her viewers' approval. She nearly succeeded in her goal, until she was confronted by a creation of Setsuna who convinces her to stop. Instead, she created a new world where the two of them can be together for eternity.
Setsuna Shimazaki (シマザキセツナ, Shimazaki Setsuna) / Yuna Shimazaki (島崎 由那, Shimazaki Yuna)
Voiced by: Ayaka Ōhashi
The late creator of the online video called Altair: World Étude, from which Altair originated. She and Sōta were friends until they drifted apart once she became a popular artist. However, her popularity caused those jealous of her success to accuse her of plagiarism, causing her to commit suicide prior to the start of the series. Her death sets the events of the series into motion, causing Altair's hatred towards humanity and leaving Sōta traumatized.

Creations

Creations (被造物, Hizōbutsu) are fictional characters that are taken out from various forms of 2D entertainment such as anime, manga, light novels, and video games by the "Military Uniform Princess". Much like in their respective worlds, they are able to use their own powers, making them unbalanced with normal humans in the real world. Characters that can be taken out are those who receive approval and 'enough' popularity from their readers and viewers.
