Summertime Rendering
| the MC is definitely not better than Subaru |
| My thoughts: Steins;Gate >>> Summertime Rendering > Re:Zero Okabe Rintaro > Ajiro Shinpei >>> Natsuki Subaru |

| No doubt about it, this show rides on the coattails of Re:Zero and Steins Gate. But Summertime Render is also very battle shounen-y too: deaths don't matter and nothing is left to the imagination; everything is explained verbally ad nauseam. This aspect of the show seriously hampered my enjoyment and is why I gave it a 6/10 |

| It becomes a huge mess the further it gets towards the end. I can't even say it was fun now, it was too confusing. They needed six more episodes to really flesh things out, I don't think covering this series in only two cours was a smart idea. SG and RZ both have masterful pacing while Summertime is a rush job. And the ending, uh, wow. All good ideas on paper if they're properly explained though. Even sakuga moments felt rushed. This series takes a machine gun and punches out logical consistency in the end. Barely anything left but bits and pieces of what it formerly had. I wonder if that was the intent in the manga? |

| "Going back and forth in time to save the MC's friend" is the most common time travel troupe in any media. On this basis every time travel will seem like a copy of something, even though their story and theme has hardly any similarities. |

X and Y anime share a similar theme. The average troll: X ANIME IS A COPY OF Y ANIME!!1!!11 Every time. Every fricking time. ---- For crying out loud having a few similar themes does NOT make one anime a "copy" of the other. Mod Edit: Removed baiting. |

| summertime render is nowhere even close to Re:Zero it felt more like a cheap copy than anything. Re:Zero has one of the best MCs in anime, ever. Putting Shinpei above him should be a crime. Steins Gate is just incredibly well written, probably one of the only anime out there with no plot holes to date. The recency bias goes hard on this one. |
Ameenzaruba10 said: Dyonata said: I agree with most of what you said (I speak from experience since I watched both works). I just think it makes no sense to compare the works because they both have different proposals, just the fact of having "time travel" present in both works is what makes them similar. But Summertime is really much inferior to the works mentioned, full of conveniences, etc. After watching, comment here so I know what you thought. I already watched bro. Until now after I watched Re:zero & STR, I still feel the deepest pain & suspense watching Steins;Gate. The chill is totally different than those two. Steins;gate is where you play with reality and physics which is most of the people are trying to do until now but in Steins;Gate, Okabe the only one managed to do it alone. And yeah, he has to keep on suffering and travelling just to get to the world line where both girls alive. And that’s why, Steins;Gate by far the best of all time time-travel series Literally lists the exact same things that happens in Re:Zero, except nobody can help Subaru even if they wanted to |

I think you'll be surprised |
Miry4316 said: Ameenzaruba10 said: Subaru better? U must have problem here bro. Many people out there know how useless & dumb Subaru is. Aside that, helpless it's not like Subaru is THAT dumb, but at least shinpei has a brain, and imo, shinpei even suffered more than Subaru. Subaru saw people he's only known for like months die over and over again, shinpei saw his literal family, sisters, friends (so people he's known for his entire life) die. Agreed that their power is pretty much the same, but Shinpei's has a limited usage. while Subaru can die over and over and try everything again, shinpei had to calculate everything, every moment, just so he could save everyone and not make the same mistakes again, also because he can't die as mamy times as Subaru. That's just my opinion, I love both shows. But I definitely prefer summer time rendering So dying again and again does nothing to your head? You're supposed to be fine and roll with it? Shinpei was smart yeah, but he had the worst representation of 'what death does to a mf'. Subaru was about as confident until his 7th or 8th death, after which shit started to go down. And are we just gonna ignore the fact that Subaru is in a completely different world with no idea how to get back home, and gets repeatedly killed 5 times the first day, and he can't tell anybody about it? (literally no one except the witches know about his ability) Subaru undoubtedly underwent more trauma here |
| Surprised how much people are gassing Rezero and Subaru, I found it practically unwatchable from cringe at multiple points despite the good things the anime does. I preferred Summertime Render characters simply because they didn't make me want to turn the anime off |

| just started watching it really brings the vibe |

| I see Summertime Render as it's own thing really. It's not like groundhog day loops are rare in anime. Summertime Render starts off with more Higurashi vibes to me and then develops into an action show. I wouldn't compare it as much to Re:zero and Steins Gate. They feel more otaku orientated. |
