I don't think that was Misk's highlight. Also you have to note that SnK is primarily action thriller where the intensity overpowers the actual horror.(I mean, by now nothing fazes me, not even the last page of last month's chapter) Berserk is more of a horror, but it too is full of hotblooded action. Re Zero is a psychological thriller with emphasis on the supernatural mystery and unexpected shock rather than just action. Since it is based on intricate novels instead of typical cliche-bait or even manga, there is much more emphasis on the nuances of the narrative. Great effort is put into making the audience see through the eyes of Subaru and intimately witness all the terrible things he is subjected to.

Also more than SnK, it is Akame ga kill that is a comparison, since it was by the same studio. I'd say a lot of the great visual techniques and horror imagery used in Re:Zero were honed in that one. The writing styles of the two are very different however.
