Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- (light novel)
| I personally feel it didn't live up to the hype, and I want to hear other people's opinions. |
 |
| I would rate it fairly high, however I was quite bored by the 2nd season. -No clear picture of where the plot is going -No clear picture of the significance of some characters - |
| Do we really need this thread? This is just going to attract toxicity |

| Extremely boring (S2 at least) and awful pacing on this arc imo |
| Hmm well side characters aren't interesting at all . The second season is dialogue heavy and the dialogue is not good at all . Subaru and Emilia are the only ones I like in the entire series . This season is very different from Season 1 which I actually liked . I lost my interest in EP 5 and it felt like a drag to complete the whole season . Haven't watched Part 2 yet though , maybe it'll be even worse . And no its not that I don't like slow pacing and dialogue heavy series . It just isn't good as a dialogue heavy anime . Anime like Monogatari series and AOT have good dialogue heavy episodes I like . People love to insult anyone that doesn't like their beloved Re Zero as a shounentard . |

| Not enough death Not enough gore Not enough rem 9.8/10 it has a little something for everyone. |
 |
| 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. |
 |
| I still gave the first season a 7/10 (although it has been a while since I've seen the first season), but if I were to put it into bullet points: -The characters are very uninteresting and bland. Their development is superficial and I can't get behind their motives and backstories. Most of them seem to just be sob stories and I simply just can't connect with them. -The current arc is really boring. The dialogue is especially uninteresting and pretentious. I do not know what the end goal for that is. -I already didn't really like Subaru as an MC and this arc isn't helping with that at all. Of course, there is nothing wrong with enjoying Re Zero. I just don't think it lives up to the hype it has. |

There has been a lot of revelations about how this whole arc was setup by a certain character behind the scenes, so it wasn't supposed to be simple like Emilia clears the trial and arc is over, there has been more layers to the plot this season and I don't understand why people seem to think that's a bad thing. |

| I like the show but I don't think it's flawless at all. subaru is a cringelord most of the time. emilia is the blandest thing in existence, she might just be air. from s1, I really hated the mansion arc at the start. it was long and boring. I grew fond of rem, but she's gone now. s2 started out lame, got better, but the current arc is dragging on forever again. I thought the first part would end with subaru yelling at emilia. it happened 2 episodes later than expected. it's that slow. |

| I strongly dislike all the characters, except maybe Crusch and Wilhelm. |
| People really be complaining about Season 2's pacing like it's the next Chimera Ant smh... |

It's wasting my time because most of these long, drawn out conversations that have dominated the entire season could have been shortened. The creative team behind this adaptation obviously have never heard of the "show, don't tell" film-making technique. They might as well just project the text from the light novel onto the screen. |
|
| at least in my opinion on paper the concept of the show sounds dope but once I’m actually watching it I find myself bored; I just find this current arc about the trials too long for my liking |
 |
| I really REALLY hate all the characters... My priorities: Characters > History > Technical aspect (Soundtrack, animation, background, etc) I rated 8/10 the first season, but I'll not see the second. |
| The truly intelligent person is one who can pretend to be a fool in front of a fool who pretends to be intelligent. |
| Every character sucks , they are all annoying especially Subaru but Rem exceeded that annoyance when they ran away and she gave that treacherous monologue .most of the fandom is toxic ,the story isn't unique it has same thing as steins Gate,Madoka Magica and somewhat of erased just they don't have to die. People say stupid things like love Subaru because he suffered the most . Not watched s2 and never would . |

| I don't dislike Re:Zero but I definitely don't find it as great as what the fanboys claim it to be. Its a decent show, an above-average isekai with a pretty cool concept. It has got some very cringe dialogues and conversations but I can look past that. First cour of season one was so damn good with great pacing but the anime only went downhill from then on. Subaru. I do dislike Subaru. His character is too bilateral. One second you see this man suffering like he is in literal Hell and the next moment, he acts as though nothing bad had ever happened. Even for a coverup for his bad memories, the drastic shift in his personality is hard to perceive for me. |

| 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. |

You can give criticism if you have any but you can't disregard opinions such as " Subaru is a boring MC " or " Its is very slow for my liking " like a fanboy . Good thing this isn't in Re Zero forums or else I would've been bombarded by people telling me to shut the fuck up . |

| I enjoyed the first season quite a bit, but it wasn't anything special. The second season for me was a HUGE disappointment. The pacing was really bad and it was as if white fox tried to speedrun the story without giving it the proper time it needed to settle. The story also didn't have a proper direction that it was leading up to, and things just ... happened. There are no standout characters when it comes to character writing and the entire Beatrice side plot in season 2 was boring af. It didn't intrigue or invest me and felt really dumb and forcefully dramatic. Also, I really hate how the re:zero fandom acts like its an obvious masterpiece when there literally is nothing special about it. I don't think there are any parts of the story that only rezero can handle. Its a story that anyone could have written. Even a 12 year old. It is just a basic story. still i don't hate it, it just didn't live upto the hype |

BerriesSan said: I have a bit of confusion. Can you please tell me why exactly the characters have to go through trials and overcome their pasts in order to free the sanctuary? That was literally explained in Episode 3 of Season 2, to free the Sanctuary. The Sanctuary has a special barrier that holds all half-bloods inside, whenever they try to get out their soul is separated from their body, since Emilia is a half-elf she herself cannot get out. |

By basic, I mean that there is nothing "special" about rezero. Its just a gimmick and the story is written pretty straightforward for a mystery time leap show. Its world building is also decently good but not the best, even though it tries. Looking at it as a whole, it feels basic. |
|
| The first season wasn't that good, because it relied a lot on gory elements rather than expanding on the world, or developing some of the side characters. The second season begins to improve on this, as we actually get some good development. Part 2 is my favourite so far as it has really expanded on the character of Emilia, and the side characters such as Garfiel and Otto, and creates a great atmosphere. I can understand why people don't like the new seasons due to pacing and such, but I personally am enjoying the direction Re:Zero is taking, and hopefully from here on out it only gets better. I didn't really find the Beatrice arc that well done, but that's just me not liking Beatrice on the whole. |
