Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu

When Subaru Natsuki leaves the convenience store, the last thing he expects is to be wrenched from his everyday life and dropped into a fantasy world. Things are not looking good for the bewildered teenager; however, not long after his arrival, he is attacked by some thugs. Armed with only a bag of groceries and a now useless cell phone, he is quickly beaten to a pulp. Fortunately, a mysterious beauty named Satella, in hot pursuit after the one who stole her insignia, happens upon Subaru and saves him. In order to thank the honest and kindhearted girl, Subaru offers to help in her search, and later that night, he even finds the whereabouts of that which she seeks. But unbeknownst to them, a much darker force stalks the pair from the shadows, and just minutes after locating the insignia, Subaru and Satella are brutally murdered.

However, Subaru immediately reawakens to a familiar scene—confronted by the same group of thugs, meeting Satella all over again—the enigma deepens as history inexplicably repeats itself.

Welcome back folks to my next review of one of the most tormented characters in anime! Now, for an isekai, this is somehow one of my favorites. I mean seriously, the plot of the story is just average joe (I mean he's a little special but maybe that's just pain tolerance) who dies over and over again until we reach that sweet happy ending. Ha, like that would ever happen. But the environmental storytelling and worldbuilding of this show is amazing the further you watch. The obviously broken characters are very much addressed as op and still there is meaning behind a story with a ... do-over button. Outside of Madness might rank among my favorite episodes from music and emotion alone. Now as for relationships, it's everything for the story. Subaru getting to know people is why the show is so good. And yes I will say Subaru may be one of the people you won't rank as high when compared to the rest of the cast. But overall, I can't wait to keep watching as the series goes on.

Animation - 9
Characters - 8
Relationships - 9
Plot - 9
Use/Absence of fanservice - 8 (2 for marketing because whoever decided to make all those rem and ram figures needs to be investigated)
Total - 9

yea grate anime good emotional depth love this anime for emotional depth only and only caveat for me is I don't fit subaru and his clinginess makes the show fell bad.
the story was unique it has its good plot and unique characters for me though subaru is the only caveat .
the art style is good .
the charters back story is -very good and the emotional trauma they had to endure was hard.
so , flaws subaru is some times cringy and the fan base is toxic . strength mainly the emotional depth and the back stories.
subaru's reaction with the witches feel a bit too under whelming ... and emilia come on 1 kiss was all it took to break through you'r trauma.
other than that the characters react in a good unpredictably predictable.
yea good reccomend

I admire Re Zero not because it's good. Because it's one of those animes who used the techniques to trick the audience into thinking the story is amazing to its maximum effect. I want to credit the author but WhiteFox shamelessly elevated his fraud writing. Birds of a feather.

They found the perfect formula to make a hit. They used the Isekai premise but used the deconstruction excuse to avoid backlash. They added all the cliches of the genre but used parody to make Re Zero appear different from the usual slop. Same technique as Eminence in the shadow. Add the harem, add the loli, add ... the same copy paste Isekai world buts it's déconstruction.
They made the protagonist the weakest to trick people that it's not the same food they are eating.

Second technique they used which a lot of authors use is gore porn. Now, another technique they also made the protagonist suffer beyond belief because some watchers confuse empathy with relatability. Just because you feel bad for Subaru doesn't mean he is a well written character. Very smart. How do you make your protagonist suffer beyond belief without killing him ? Return by death. The author and WhiteFox are experts in fraudulent writing.

Third technique they used is a technique they saw was very successful for another serie AOT, shock factor. Here comes the abuse of cliffhangers to make the audience coming for more.
All these techniques are great for kids but they don't have the same effect on older watchers. After the drug effect wears off, people realise this story is average at best.
