| So Subaru revived, ran to the loot house again in a panic, and then promptly forgot about his death and stopped caring. He also didn't care about the witch who entered the shop having the exact same voice as the person who just killed him? It's confusing to imagine someone going through that scenario and not taking every precaution to avoid it, while also employing a sensible level of suspicion. Maybe it will eventually be explained. Besides that, it seems to be consciously aiming to deconstruct video game isekai, with a main character who has a meta-awareness of the genre and a vaguely sarcastic assortment of characters made to juxtapose Subaru's initial assumptions of the world. Given how Satella was suddenly perturbed at her own name, Subaru either gets teleported to a completely different universe with only infinitesimal differences when he dies, or his death results in imperfect time travel that corrupts and alters specific details of the past. |

| Episode 1 definitely throws you into the world, but for me, the landing was somewhat of dud, especially with regard to the characters. The main character, Subaru Natsuki, begins as a complete blank slate. He is an otaku who has been transported to another world, a pattern we have seen many times before. His initial self-centered, perverse antics is off-putting. We don't get a sense of who he is or why we should support him. Subaru meets Emilia, but their initial interaction is shallow. He falls in love instantly, but it is more like lust at first sight than a genuine connection. This makes it difficult to care about their budding relationship. The episode introduces some potentially interesting side characters, such as Satella and the alley thug, but they remain a mystery. We never get a chance to understand their motivations or personalities. Although this episode set up the premise of Isekai and Subaru's predicament, the lack of depth in the characters, especially Subaru himself, left me feeling disappointed and unsure if I want to see more. |

| Coming to this anime from a friend recommending it to me, im honestly blown away. This was an outstanding episode. Now ive had my eyes on Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- for some time and i was planning to watch it soon so im glad my friend told me to start it. Coming to into this anime i expected another basic isekai, though i was dead wrong. This first episode starts off nice and friendly with the main character appearing in a fantasy world and he doesnt know anything. I thought that he would be OP, (as he himself thought aswelll) but it turns out he has no special powers. As this episode goes on we meet a nice girl and her spirit cat. Suburu follows them trying to help her find something she lost, which is kind of him. And as they follow leads they end up in the slums at a building thats supposed to have what there looking for. Suburu says he will go in first to get it and as he goes in he sees someone dead and in the next second he gets fatally injured along with the girl he was helping who came in after him. And seconds later hes back were he started. I guess this is gonna be one tragic anime with the main character returning after each death again and again. Im honestly hyped for the next episode as i loved everything about the first. |
