Hm. A typical japanese expression for shock, heard in almost every Anime ever, but a second longer than usual.


That got you butthurt today?^^
Oh, well...don't let it get you down.

Leave the people approving things alone, tho.
They're fine.

I mean it's just an exaggerated version. You most likely won't hear this much exaggerated reaction in irl conversations but people still do them in japanese media, tv shows, etc. It's not that uncommon.

it's disbelief/shock/astonishment and quite typical, it should to be prologued when used for this purpose
complete explanation:

“eh” (えっ or エッ) is a common expression in Japanese and is widely used in everyday conversation. Its meaning and tone can vary depending on the context and intonation. Here are some typical uses:

1. Surprise or Shock

• えっ?!
When something unexpected or shocking happens, “eh” can be used to express surprise or disbelief.
Example:
• A: 明日休みだよ。(Ashita yasumi da yo. - “Tomorrow is a holiday.”)
• B: えっ?! 本当に? (Eh?! Hontō ni? - “Eh?! Really?”)

2. Confusion or Not Understanding

• えっ?
When someone doesn’t hear or understand something, they might say “eh” to prompt clarification.
Example:
• A: あそこに行って。(Asoko ni itte. - “Go over there.”)
• B: えっ? (Eh? - “Eh?” / “What?”)

3. Hesitation or Puzzlement

• えっと (etto)
A variation often used to buy time while thinking or hesitating, similar to “um” or “uh” in English.
Example:
• えっと、次はどうしよう… (Etto, tsugi wa dō shiyō… - “Um, what should I do next…”)

4. Disbelief or Skepticism

• ええっ?!
A prolonged “eh” with emphasis can convey disbelief or doubt.
Example:
• A: 宇宙旅行に行く予定だよ。(Uchū ryokō ni iku yotei da yo. - “I’m planning to go to space.”)
• B: ええっ?! すごいね!(Eeh?! Sugoi ne! - “Eeh?! That’s amazing!”)

Tone Matters:

• A short, sharp “えっ” often signals surprise or confusion.
• A prolonged “えええっ” amplifies shock or disbelief.
• A softer “えっ?” might indicate someone is politely asking for clarification.

It’s an essential and versatile part of Japanese communication, so you’ll encounter it often!

It's cringe.
Just like sudden, loud bowel movement used for purpose to shift subject of discussion into "let's eat something". Not sure which one is worse.

Honestly I agree with you. It's a dumb cliche. I don't think the expression itself is really cringe or stupid, it's the fact that everyone is saying it extremely loudly at the exact same time that makes it so dumb. It's way too exaggerated and that's what makes the trope bad. I wouldn't say it's the worst thing in the world but it feels really artificial so I can see where you're coming feom

If you ever go to Japan, walk around for 10 minutes and you will constantly hear Japanese say “ehhh?” as a reaction to everything.

No responses from the OP. This should be removed for trolling. It's official, re zero is too popular. Every other post in my home feed is re zero while the rest of the new shows get almost no discussion. The sheep will ruin any good thing for the others who have been enjoying it for years now.

His point is it's cultural and not just anime. It's also very far from cringe. Only thin cringe here is the original post

@DayRivia I really don't care about whether it is a cultural thing or not. In anime it is unbearably cringe and definitely does not translate when used as a comic relief. It basically assumes the generic "loud = funny".

@Piromysl
Only cause they didn't translate it properly to "You whaaa?!" or "Bwah"

But reviewing the seen, it is indeed very cringe. Goes a second too long.

Lolol apologize for the random joke but when there's an opportunity then why waste it

But anyways my main point being, for example, in most anime, regardless of the world setting, a cool warrior almost always has a katana and is called a samurai. But we don't bat an eye because that's true and very common. Same with this 'Ehhh' reaction. It's a reality and not a cliche anime thing. A LOT of people use this. Men go with the small 'eh' and use it for comic timing while women go for a longer 'ehhhh'

@SATAN19 For the third time I say in this thread, that loud =/= funny.
And for the second time, that I don't care if it's a "real world thing", because it definitely does not work in anime as comic relief.

for that, I'll just say comedy is never objective. It is subjective. You can have an opinion but you can't expect the world to bend to your liking. So just deal with it 🤷

It's just the usual cringey cliche which is usually found in anime for teenager audiences.

I'm not surprised this anime has it, especially with that kind of overreactive MC.
