Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu 3rd Season

One year after the events at the Sanctuary, Subaru Natsuki trains hard to better face future challenges. The peaceful days come to an end when Emilia receives an invitation to a meeting in the Watergate City of Priestella from none other than Anastasia Hoshin, one of her rivals in the royal selection. Considering the meeting's significance and the potential dangers Emilia could face, Subaru and his friends accompany her.

However, as Subaru reconnects with old associates and companions in Priestella, new formidable foes emerge. Driven by fanatical motivations and engaging in ruthless methods to achieve their ambitions, the new enemy targets Emilia and threaten the very existence of the city. Rallying his allies, Subaru must give his all once more to stop their and nefarious goals from becoming a concrete reality.

I as a person I really like anime I really like Re:Zero I started the third season befor few weeks at the very beginning I was supries from the episode from his time hour and a half I said to myself I'm not sure if I Will manage to watch the episode because it's a long time but then I said I'll see why not there's nothing better I can do And I started the first episode at the beginning the episode was like that it lacked action but as the episode progressed and progressed it started to get crazy The episode got better ... minute by minute and the things they read were cool, I couldn't stop watching because I enjoyed every minute When we reached the end of the episode, I was shocked by what happened, I didn't expect the episode to end like this, it ended in a crazy way, I really strongly recommend you to watch this anime because you don't know what you are missing I really like the way they made the anime I also really like how they did the plot and my favorite thing is how they did the third season for sure it's my favorite season from the first and second season I really recommend the anime, I really like the animations and I like the action in the series the most In conclusion, I really recommend watching this anime, it's amazing

Much to my surprise, Re zero season 3 has managed to restore the series to a watchable state.

In my previous review of season 2, I’d said that Re: Zero has a dialogue problem. Tsubaru is an overly-embarrassing, unfunny, long winded character who openly says anachronistic things which should logically remain inside his head and is very conveniently stupid. Most of the other characters aren’t much better, being plagued with far too many anime-isms which only serve to mask the somewhat inconsistent characterization. The banter is mostly stilted quips that make you feel second-hand embarrassment. The author doesn’t have enough faith in ... his audience. The emotional scenes are far too frequent and saccharine for their own good. Attempts at subversion are hit or miss. The plot is often contrived. The second season felt notably dry, and it mostly came down to poor direction and limited animation.

From what I can tell for season 3, all of that remains present to some degree, however, the animation and direction are vastly improved. The direction is of particular note, because previous moments of dead-air are now punctuated by visual flourishes, or dialogue is timed in a way that helps to undercut a lot of the inherent awkwardness. More varied cinematography helps better convey tone, and compliments the theatrical/kitschy writing style. The visual comedy has also improved. The writing may be *slightly* funnier and less awkward, but I’m not sure if that’s down to the aforementioned improvements. There are also some character pairings which have more chemistry than previous seasons, which helps. To clarify, it’s obvious Tsubaru is meant to be a dorky fish out of water, as well as an emotional and brash work-in-progress, but he previously came off as poorly written even with that in mind. He now feels slightly more organically written. That positive is slightly undercut by the insistent tone, such as characters flatly pointing out his development, but Re:Zero has always been like that (note the previously mentioned lack of faith in the audience).

I imagine if you’ve gotten this far with the series and managed to make it through the previous season, you’ll probably be very content with what white fox has produced here. If you were hoping for the writing to improve dramatically, this is more of the same, but presented in a more palatable way. Personally I’m just happy to say I actually kind of enjoyed this and I will continue to watch for as long as the animation and direction meet this standard.

Full disclosure, I watched a lot of this on x2 speed so that might be lending a more positive sentiment. If you’re finding it to be a slough I might suggest you do the same, as the writing still tends to be verbose. And no, I have nothing against dense dialogue, I like Deadwood, the Wire, Aaron Sorkin, etc., but the script could clearly be tighter in places without losing any subtext or meaning.

edit: Shout out to the fanboy who went through laugh reacting every one of my reviews because he's so tilted that I find the writing to be a bit amateurish. I know this fanbase can be protective but let's try to keep it to the review.

I don't usually write reviews, but man. I just can't bear with this shit anymore.
I will preface by saying I never really liked Re:Zero. First season was okay, second season meh, and now the third season just looks like it'll be the same as the previous one, and I can't be bothered to watch 16 episodes of that. I sighed when I saw the first episode was 90 minutes long. I sighed when I saw the loli harem. I sighed when I saw that Subaru still hasn't changed clothes.
The characters are bland and uninteresting, the visuals are bland and uninteresting. Music and animation ... were alright. I forgot the plot because I never cared, and I never cared because the cast never seemed sympathetic. I'm just sad I wasted my time with two seasons of this. Never touching this again.
Characters: 2/10
Animation: 5/10
Sound: 6/10
Plot: I don't know, I don't care/10
Enjoyment: 2/10
