Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu - Memory Snow - Manner Movie

[How to Behave at the Movies – Re:Zero Version]

This manner movie was shown before Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu - Memory Snow began, this three minute movie explains to the audience what manners are unacceptable.

Demonstrating these manners will be the entire cast of Re:Zero, i.e., Subaru, Emila, Beatrice, Pack, Rem, and Ram. And, in standard fare, these demonstrations are performed by their cute and tiny Chibi versions, where they narrate and perform wacky skits, jabs, and puns.

Providing most of the commentary is Yuusuke Kobayashi, who voices Subaru, and he does a fantastic job, especially when he starts encouraging everyone in the audience to yell “E.M.T”. ... Other special mentions includes Rie Takahashi, Satomi Arai, Inori Minase, Yumi Uchiyama, and Rie Murakawa, who voice their respective characters beautifully, providing individual commentaries on which manners are unacceptable.

As mentioned earlier, the Chibi art style is very cute and well animated, although the animations are stiff and jerky, but that's charm of most manner movies. It's a low budget movie whose purpose is to convey a very simple message: please behave and follow the rules.

These are the rules that the audience should follow:

- Mute/silence your mobile phone.
- Please refrain from making conversation while you are watching.
- Smoking and use fire is prohibited.
- Carrying dangerous things is strictly prohibited.
- Recording and flash photography is strictly prohibited.

Thank you and enjoy the movie.

I've decided that I want to review every Re:Zero related piece of animation on MAL, and I'm going to start with this short(?)

For those of you unaware, this short is just a small reminder to be respectful to others while the movie "Re:Zero- Memory snow" is playing in theaters. Obviously their really isn't much substantial content here, and to be quite frank with you the only reason I watched it was to add it to my mal account. With all of that being said though, this short does have the main VAs reprising their roles as each of the main characters, which is more effort ... than I was expecting from this, so there's that.

You can easily find both of the "Manner Movies" on youtube, and they each only run for about 3 minutes. They're decent fun, even if they are honestly pointless to watch.

Lastly, something interesting to note, is that both Re:Zero movies each have their own little short "Manner Movie", and that they're actually different from each other. I was honestly expecting both "Manner Movies" to be exactly the same, but this one(The memory snow one) features the main cast of the series, while the Hyouketsu no Kizuna one, features Betelgeuse.

Have you ever been told by your parents what to do and what not to do? I guess, as all of us grew up, we got used to people telling us all sorts of things under the title of “manners”. Well, behold, this Re:Zero dude is trying to educate the mass on proper movie etiquette but listing a bunch of DOs and DONTs.

I guess the budget was just that big it started swelling in form of these types of shorts that really serve nothing else but act as an annoying branding ploy. At least, I gotta hand it to the marketing department responsible for this, ... they are not quitting until Subaru or anyone of his waifus is finally a universal mascot.

I did not watch the feature movie in a cinema, me watching this was solely for the purpose of checking something off my watch list, not that I'm complaining, thank got it took no time sacrifice to be scarce.
