I don't usually write reviews before I've finished a series in its entirety, but an exception had to be made when I saw how negatively people were reviewing this show.
First off, this show has A LOT of talking. So if you're the kind of person who can't enjoy a show if it doesn't have an epic battle every episode, I'd turn away now. It prefers to spend its run time exploring the characters depth, the philosophical questions posed by the appearance of the "Creations". I honestly prefer it this way, since it challenges your thinking beyond "Which superpower man can punch harder?". That being said,
...
it's the main point of criticism for most, so walk away if it doesn't sound like your cup of tea.
Since the show spends so much time on the characters talking, you can bet they're really well developed. In fact, one character is so heavily developed that even her creator struggles to predict what she might be thinking. And I'd even go as far as to say that she was one of the more underdeveloped characters in the show. It isn't just the characters either, single lines in this show really help develop the environment and setting that this show takes place in. For example, many characters make note of how good the food is compared to "where they come from". Since most shows don't care to explore how the food of their world taste, it makes sense that it wouldn't HAVE taste in the first place. So of course, their food their be infinitely bland compared to real food. Of course, this is just an example.
Regardless of what you may say about the frequency of the fights, when they do come up, they make sure to instill the consistent philosophical underlines into them, case and point being Mamika's mini-breakdown when she gets in a fight in the real world for the first time compared to the fights in her heavily censored kids show. Not only that, they are very well animated and have a decent soundtrack to boot.
If you're reading this without a clue what Re:Creators is, I'd say go for it, but only if what I described above sounds appealing. After all, the act of watching the show and forming a strong enough opinion on it to write a review of it makes me fairly biased. So it may seem worse than what I described. But you miss all the shots you don't take, and besides; what do you have to lose besides an hour or two of a Saturday afternoon?
