Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- (light novel)
| I don't not like it, it's been a solid 7/8 out of 10 season as a whole, but this cour has dragged at times. WhiteFox have been given 30 minutes per episode to adapt the source material, and instead of making the dialogue punchy and impactful, it meanders and the character exchanges are repetitive and mundane. Conversations that should take 30 seconds end up taking far longer, and to the point where I just want to hit the fast forward button on the app. Otherwise, it's a very good show. Pandora's an interesting villain, and it's nice that we're actually exploring Emilia's character more, because up until this cour, she was very one-dimensional. |
| I don't really like the kingdom setting in general, so I really disliked those waifus in the first place. I also don't like the protagonist. Like his ability is to revive himself and to do that he just kills himself, like it just feels so pathetic. |
 |
| probably cause alot of people think Tappei is a hack writer when he isn't. |

| I do remember disliking it the first time I watched it because of Subaru's way. Now, I'm just sharing what was my experience at that time, my opinion changed a lot since then. He repeated a lot of mistakes and that made him look like a dumbass. He seemed mindless in his thought process. At least, he was clearly chasing Emilia, but he was pretty stupid about it. I get that he loves Emilia but man, he loved to put himself in danger in every way possible in a world he knew nothing about. His actions were offputting in a fantasy setting and frustrating in the romance genre. Without any background, he wasn't that likeable of a main character, Emilia had every right to push him away multiple times. He was awkward and cringy. He was caring but still trying too hard to make an impression on someone. By Betelgeuse arc, he was a better version of himself. I couldn't dislike him but couldn't like him either. The same thing happened with the sisters. I found them boring as hell. Maybe not that much for Ram since she was hanging with Roswaal and it was intriguing. I couldn't find Rem interesting for the life of me. She was nice to have in a battle that's it. Her speech with him made sense, but I didn't care. The story kept me watching. That,s why I like it now. I rewatched it twice and don't feel that way about the characters. Well, Rem is still not that interesting to me. Maybe we will get more of her in the future. |

| Well, i don't like rezero because i haven't watched it |
 |
| Characters and world aren't nearly as interesting as the story tries to make them seem. So much talking and back on back flashbacks for mundane things. Basically, it fails to make me care about what it's telling and showing me. It wastes my time. |
 |
| for me, it's a bit dark. don't feel good watching it. |
| Protesters, assemble!! |
| Subaru didn't bang Felix Nuff said dude 1/10 show  |

| they didnt have lolis 😢😢 and thats the main reason it sucked |
I don't know if you're joking or not, but because there's no Yaoi in Re:Zero it's a 1/10?... |

| The gratuitous violence and rem torture I never enjoyed but the characterization of Subaru is why I kept watching. if a show has you feel physical pain over the actions of its characters it's doing something right. |
| The main problem is that Subaru never grows out of being an awkward self-hating manipulative "nice guy" stereotype, despite numerous other characters acting as if he progresses. That dissonance is plot breaking, and really goes far to illustrate the intent of the author writing around a harem and failing to disguise it, where Subaru is the typical Captain Save-A-Ho. I'm not going to lie, the world, the setting, is very interesting. But the narrative is trash. I'm sure I would have enjoyed another story in that world that didn't involve Subaru, Rem, Emilia, Beatrice, the Witches, whom all want to exchange bodily fluids with Subaru. I couldn't help but feel like Subaru isn't really suffering throughout the show, that it's just him pretending to be a drama queen. Put it this way: If each death is an unimaginable pain, then after 3-4 of them, a person would think to maximize his gains from each iteration. That means to gather as much information as possible and figure out ways to solve the mystery. But after hundreds of deaths, Subaru still goes about things in the dumbest ways possible, still gets a boner after Emilia -- it's just... unbelievable. It's almost as if he has a death fetish. |

| The anime was doing good at 10 episodes but after that It become a very toxic show.Imagine hearing I love you for entire episode and at end the MC say :Emilia let's talk.The anime make the scene too too drag. |
 For your Information: |
opal_shimmer said: I want to hear other people's opinions. For my personal enjoyment or lack thereof, let's just say S1 still functions as a thriller on first watch, and for that I did enjoy it (first watch). However, once the novelty of watching someone play a virtual reality dating sim with a lot of brutality mixed in wears off, the show becomes clear for what it is. It is the story of a kid with no notability of ability and no nobility of mind fumbling about a fantasy land chasing skirts with no idea WTF he is doing. The stupidity of the kid in question is painful to watch. None of the support or side characters are portrayed in the anime in a (mentally) realistic manner either, making everybody incredibly unrelated. Never mind that intelligent minds require novelty to be entertained and the show's inherent repetitiveness due to its main mechanic seriously screws this aspect up. For more details about the less subjective complaints I've had, I've written my thoughts down in my reviews for S1 and S2. https://myanimelist.net/anime/31240/Re_Zero_kara_Hajimeru_Isekai_Seikatsu https://myanimelist.net/anime/39587/Re_Zero_kara_Hajimeru_Isekai_Seikatsu_2nd_Season |
| There's no inherent right or wrong in this universe, but when we think with emotions rather than logic, we make things so. |
| S1 is decent and well paced, but honestly S2 was extremely boring with zero subtlety, but just endless, poorly directed expositions (it's like the studio has forgotten what "show, don't tell" is; at that point you're reading a novel instead of watching a show), which is not necessarily a flaw in itself, but the dialogue is just so poorly written that I can't possibly like it. |

| the storytelling is a joke so is the character development 3/10 |
| Having only seen season one, I absolutely loved so much about the show. Having the focus be on a main character who is very clearly meant to be a terrible person is always fun, and the focus on his depression and suffering was legitimately fantastic. What I didn't like was the romance elements. I get that every fantasy isekai has to have some sort of romance shoehorned in, but it just. It truly didn't feel like it had to be there. |
 |
| I like it, but I think it could have improved. Rem's confession seemed so long and excessive to me that it only broke my dive in the end. Another thing that I think is missing is a particular event that is not related to a tragedy to give more logic to the story. |
| Too shonenesque for my taste. I watched the first season and I remember skipping many dialogue scenes between the characters because they didn't have any weight to them |
| "Chimp in state of nature never jerks off, but in captivity he does, wat does this mean? In state of nature he’s too busy, to put plainly. He is concerned with mastering space: solving problem of life in and under trees, mastering what tools he can, mastering social relations in the jockeying for power and status. Deprived of this drive to development and self-increase he devolves to pointless masturbation, in captivity, where he senses he is in owned space and therefore the futility of all his efforts and all his actions." |
| Okay I have mixed feelings with Re:Zero When I watched the first zero I just found it pretty average where I rated it a 5. However when the second season came around I enjoyed it a lot and I rated it an 8. And I am liking season 2 part 2. |
| Its cringe with a beta male self insert protag. |
| It's become one of those shows were I'll just wait for the season to end to catch up. |
 |
| Subaru and the Sanctuary Arc. Every time he comes on screen, I feel like I am the one who is suffering, not him. And the Sanctuary Arc has awful pacing, it is too slow, that I got bored and dropped it. Btw stop making these sorts of threads, people who just want to shit on Re: Zero will spread toxicity and hate instead of constructive criticism. |
 |
| I tried getting into it but the premise of groundhogs day wasn't enough to keep me invested I wasn't a fan of the character designs none of them they weren't bad but I really wasn't into them at all |
 |
| Everyone in that show acts like a little bitch. |
| i think the first season was GREAT but compared to the first season the second is totally average anime in my opinion - its boring - most of the characters are shit and too annoying - what happened to the dialogue ?? its not that good - its too confusing and mostly random - no rem i dont wanna be mean but i think rem made the show 486865 times better and without her the second season is pretty lame |

Weed said: Extremely boring (S2 at least) and awful pacing on this arc imo pluginfish said: I rated S1 a 8. S2 is extremely boring. Subaru didn't make 1 save point in 10+ episode, it is that slow. Emilia might be the most boring/flat MC I've ever seen. epidemia78 said: I liked season 1 a lot. It's similar in many ways to Steins Gate so what's not to love? Season 2 has been a huge disappointment. It's slow, tedious and chock full of badly written dialogue. Are you guys sure its not because you want to see more of Rem? |
I am a useless student of society. Tests are my body and Grades are my blood. I have done over a thousand assignments. Unseen by teachers, nor done properly. Yet, those hands shall never hold an outstanding grade. So, as I pray... Unlimited Homeworks. |
| Some things I dislike and some things I dislike. For me it's too many characters that I just dislike. Even the mc that usually is a make or break for me for a series. I probably wouldn't somewhat enjoy it still if i didn't watch the cut content series on youtube. |
  |
| S2 wasn't very compelling to move as a main story but focusing on characters development. But feels like a drag in most of the dialogue. It lost some of the mysterious suspense build up from S1. Interaction with some of the supporting charas also feels like a bad acting, forceful. Overall feel strange half the time and dragging until the last couple episode got the main event going again. |
| My comment on last episode thread(season 2, part 2, episode 7, page 3) isn't all I had to say, but we will leave at that, since I promised I wouldn't be bothering the fanbois and stop creating expectations about this show, just turn your brain off and enjoy the ride. Actually one last thing that I've noticed and forgot to say there, all the people that really like and defend the show have read the LN, they aren't objective when it comes from an Anime only view, so yeah the LN may be 10/10 but the anime, specially this season not so much and since most of you like to praise yourself by your own (self insert) intellect, I bet that if you didn't had the LN knowledge you wouldn't be giving this a perfect score. |
Gilgameshuu said: Do we really need this thread? This is just going to attract toxicity I do feel like whenever threads like this are made they just attract the attention of haters of a series even if the original poster didn't intend do so. On the other hand it can also be a great place for a good debate among people with a lot of different opinions. As someone who started the Light Novel before season 1 aired, I think that the series more than lived up to the hype and that the second season was so much better than I thought it would be. |

JuuchiYosamu said: I watched halfway thru season 1, and while the whole premise "die in pain, ressurect infinitely and change the future" is kinda cool, the execution is lackluster at best. The characters are boring with no depth, the mc is basically Kirito v2.0, there is direction to the plot, the music is forgettable, the animation is basic. I mean, does it get any better or what? The 2nd half is where it really gets going, you'll get a thrilling dive into the protagonist's struggle for self-improvement and overcoming his flaws. |
