Meh, I can't really say that this anime convinced me that much. Another surely hit its genre by being a horror and suspenseful series, but it simply wasn't enough.

I really liked the animation and the art; the characters are well-designed and appealing. The bloody scenes looked very realistic and brutal, so no minus here.

But the story was concluded terribly. The slow pacing in the first eight episodes really made watching them feel like a chore. The last five episodes built up some really good tension, though, just for the ending to be really unbearable. I can't imagine that this was the best conclusion the anime ... could've ended with.

All in all, I can't really say that the story had plot twists or reveals that left me astounded, going like, "What, really?!" e.g. the reveal of Misaki's true nature and, as already mentioned, the ending. I didn't really think there was much mystery here at all.

Overall, I can't really recommend it, knowing that there are way better shows in this genre.

I really can't tell if that's supposed to be the anime I started watching in 2017. For me, Re:Zero is an isekai that deals with surreal mystery while also containing some really good horror elements and showing us some great action scenes. I really liked the first and second seasons—they were truly impressive. I would even consider a handful of episodes absolute peak.

After I finished Season 2, I couldn't wait for the third. Will Rem wake up? Is Echidna still alive? What is this curse Subaru is possessed by?—These were a few of the questions I asked myself.

Now, the third season… absolute garbage. What is ... this?! What do these 16 episodes have to do with the storyline at all? The first 8 episodes are neither bad nor good, building some tension but being painfully slow in my opinion. After Episode 8, there are 8 more episodes of nonstop fighting, which weren’t even good. The fight with Regulus Corneas was awful, and the way Subaru came to the conclusion of why he’s invincible was so unconvincing.

My appeal: If you want to know how Season 2 continues, don't watch Season 3. It has nothing to do with it. All in all, it feels like a filler season to me. I hope the Re:Zero that I love will return in Season 4.
