I love re zero season 1 and i think it's so different from any other anime let alone Isekai genre. S1 has really good animation, amazing soundtrack (i still listening to some of them till now since 2016) and the art were pretty consistent for what it is until it finished aired.
Re:zero season 2 continues where s1 left off (they followed 1:1 to the novel) and so far its been immensely good, up until recent episodes. I think one of the strongest talking point of season 2 is how the author uses the Trial stuff in the sanctuary arc for a room for character
...
development especially for the main cast.
Not to mention the tension and build up horror moments in some parts of season2 PART 1 is really good despite they animating from home due to covid-19 issue. Few months later, part 2 aired, i dont know i somehow expecting part 2 to have abit better art and animation but the quality remains from part 1.
I belive that animation quality is one of the biggest talking point of how mediocre it is and becuz of that, it lacks the power to convey to the audience.
Spoiler alil bit (I bet no one cares about spoiler at this point)
Emilia's trial was the most hyped part by the Light Novel reader and here i am staring at a long episodes of Emilias trial being so dissapointing given that re:zero's story always never misses. If only the art and animation done better i think i would rate emilia's trial much higher, but doesnt mean 3 mediocre episodes of rezero will immediately lower my overall enjoyement.
Overall, If you liked s1, s2 will give you more enjoyment but if you dont like s1 why bother to watch it in the first place? to hate and give it a lower score? For me personally, i enjoyed for what it is only the last couple of episodes were let down by mediocre art that has less power to convey the story better.
Animation and Art is part of Anime and is bound to have criticism. I am a big fan of the show and i wont let my bias held myself from talking about that part.
Thanks for reading, keep watching your fav anime and stay safe during this pandemic. Cheers.
