Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- (light novel)
| I didn't like how cliche everything was. |
| I hate the kind of characters like Subaru, the ones who get trusted by everyone on show or whatever so I didn't enjoy watching the show a bit, also the story is kind of boring for me so I gave it a 6 and I might edit it and make it 5 |

| People who put MAL stats in their sigs are losers lol |
| haven't finished it yet, but for being the "main girl" Emilia really has no development or screen time compared to rem. It's kinda silly actually. I dunno wtf they were doing with felt but she just vanished from the anime, same with reinhardt. Setting them up as important characters just to give them the boot lol. Probably will have much more importance later on but still come on. |

If I were to also say lack of character development for Emilia and Beatrice then I can, again, easily make a counter-argument saying that they will get one. Arc 2 and 3 just wasn't their time. Arc 4 is when Emilia and Beatrice truly shines. Which all of your points hint at shiet pacing cause of its repetitive nature of starting from 0 :/ Also the amount of pointless dialogue in each episode is annoying. The fights didnt stand out. |
 Oshii is probably the only director that loves dogs. He thinks he's a dog himself. That's right, its slime! It will dissolve your clothing slowly before my eyes! |
| I think few of my major criticism of re: zero is, that re: zero is kind of inconsistent at times, Like for example how some people says the main character smells like the witch, but how would they know what the witch smells like if they haven't meet the witch before. Another problem I had is that even though it has good ideas, It try's way to hard with seid good ideas, Like it doesn't know how to just to let sied ideas play out, It just protays everything in such an blatant way It almost like its winking to the audience, Saying hey hey hey guys look at this cool idea we did, Look what we did. Like for example In the twin arc, Where there baseing rem and ram story arc on the old Japanese folk tale, the blue and red oge, Which I thought was a very good idea, But though the entire arc they continue to draw reference that story a lot, And I am like ok I got the first time, Especially after the part where the main character talks about that story, Because by that time I am pretty sure that as many people are aware That One of the twins puts the other on a pedestal, because they feel they have no self worth in compared to the other. |
 |
| The biggest problem for me was Subaru. Subaru was annoying as heck, he needed to tone his obsession with Emilia down by 40%. Also, he was too arrogant, he needed to slow down a bit. He knew he was weak but that didn't stop him from doing reckless stuff. Subaru made the anime extremely hard to watch and several times I wanted to stop watching Re: Zero. The repeated scenes also got a bit annoying at times. I guess this anime wasn't for me. |

| - Subaru's inconsistent character - Subaru's magical recovery from fucked up trauma just to revert back later - Subaru being an idiot in the first half of arc 3 - Subaru not being fap material - Subaru not being Reinhard, Wilhelm or best bro Julius - Subaru being Subaru TL;DR Subaru being Subaru. On a more serious note, - Emilia lacking screentime (yeah yeah Arc 4 bla bla) - Unneccessarily gory at times - Most of the girls felt underdeveloped, even without taking Rem into the consideration - The romance of Subaru and Emilia is lacking (yeah yeah arc 4 bla bla) - Subaru's sudden turn in EP12-19 - Wilhelm and Julius deserves more screentime! |

Criticizes Re Zero = Hater, Likes Re Zero = Fanboy Why can't we criticize or commend the work without throwing one another into one of these extreme, particularly with the ad hominem? |
| I have no real faults. It was good compared to other examples of the guy in a track suit in a fantasy world genre that I've seen so far. It was also the only remotely interesting show that was on at the time. That said, I can't really find anything to praise either, except Subaru being slightly more competent than the average for this type of show, especially without any special powers such characters usually get. |
| Personally it would be easier for me to mention the things that I did like. The latter is just far too many. Rem and Ram = <3 :D I like how they accentuate suffering and the toll dying numerous deaths deals on Subaru. The background music is also great and I simply love Betty. Other than those, god forgive the series. |
When life hands you a muffin, pay the world a smile. |
| the differences from the novel/manga but thats every anime |
 |
| Things I hated - BEST GIRL NOT WINNING. with that out the way, Dislikes - Emilia's static character Subaru's mental state being fixed so fast Lack of Felt after she pretty much looked like a relevant character in first arc Subaru still having no combat skills (would like to see him get strong enough to not rely on others as much) No Rem in last few episodes |
TheEntropy said: No Rem in last few episodes Oh, yes, that reminds me, I do have a serious criticism! Spoilers ahead. |
| I really enjoyed RE:Zero, but there were some issues that aren't overlookable. 1. Character depth. Subaru aside, it was atrocious. Rem, the second most developed character, didn't really go much farther then passionate near-yandere. And I loved Rem, but this fact really stings. Everyone else merely were the embodiment of character archetypes and stereotypes. This was most extreme with Emilia, the supposed 'lead' female character, who's largest development was being nice to Subaru and being the victim of some danm fantastic racism. 2. Storytelling quality fell off around Episode 22, just after the White Whale was defeated. It not longer had anywhere near the same flow or pacing. This was worsened by Beetlejuice's (Yes, I know that's not how it is spelled, it's intentional) crazy antics, which by this point were more commonplace then anything else. The last episode was the most egregious, as if we were just going through the motions to set up for a 'perfect' ending. I agreed with Subaru during the last-last battle. "How many times am I going to have to defeat the final boss!?" 3. Darkness-induced apathy. Rem is mercilessly twisted and warped into a broken mannequin? That's f*d up. She 'crawls' to Subaru and uses the last of her life force to free him? That's touching and terrible. Subaru dies from a Kaizo trap? Shame. Subaru accidentally kills Emilia. I'm not THAT surprised anymore. Beetlejuice threatens to warp Emilia's corpse to make Subaru talk. Sorry, but I find myself not caring as much, I've already seen that trick. Having one super dark moment show up right after another made me feel a bit numb to the gravity of the situation as the incidents piled up. Neutral point (not a negative per~se, but could have been better): Art and animation were just 'ok'. The CGI was obvious, but not ugly. |
"I'd take rampant lesbianism over nuclear armageddon or a supervolcano any day." ~nikiforova |
| Major issues that weigh the show down: 1: Emilia being virtually dropped for 10 episodes while we develop side characters. I know that they need development, but not at the cost of completely overshadowing our main heroine. 2: Betelgeuse was so silly that I could not take any events involving him seriously, which was quite a shame since most of the high-emotional events involve him. 3: A general lack of cohesion or flow, particularly during the second half of the show. Minor problems that just annoyed me: 1: Whale fight is underwhelming since it's not foreshadowed at all apart from a brief mention. 2: The return by death abilities in itself is a double-edged sword. While it creates a lot of opportunities, it also makes the story artificially slow. All of the events of the last half of the show happen in 3 days realtime, yet it feels like eons. 3: Characters in general are uninteresting and there's very little tension between anyone. Everyone reacts in a professional way, which is more realistic. But it's also uninteresting at the same time. 4: No explanation for many things in the show. After the 100th random detail I simply have to accept exists, it gets old. Fights don't really have tension as a result, and comes down to what new crap people can pull during them. I feel like this is a first season issue though, so I won't harp on it. Despite all that, I still enjoyed the show. It's not great, but it wasn't terrible either like hatemob claims. It's just a little above average. |
| It just a teaser. It build up many things about politics and stuff (including that female assassins in the first episodes) but then never been concluded as the series ended. Even the main heroines doesn't get much screentime to make her relatable which the show does trying to. I know I know it's on the next 2,3,4 arc but series should stand on its own and telling read the source material will contribute nothing. Plus, I dislike the design and the costume. It is bland for fantasy and for Subaru, is unffiting. Also I don't understand why many people say this was the new SAO, or at least get recognition as much as that show. It won't get that outside the otaku culture, because at the very least, SAO's concept could pretty much happens in the near future as MMORPG is improved over the year while Re:Zero on the other hand is unrealistic as fuck and I believe not many people could relate to it. In the end I agree with this one. Renaultclio101 said: Too much hype for an average series which in the future there will be many similar titles with this sort of plot |

On_the_Lam said: Lobinde said: Yes, Re:zero's fanbase is pretty bad but so are the people who go out of their way to hate on it just to look "cool". Not to imply that TAS is doing that, but some of the "criticisms" I've seen for re zero are clearly from people who have never even watched it in the first place. What criticisms? I personally enjoyed the first cour of the series, and even recommended it to people in real life. Now I trash it to everyone who dares mention it. Stuff like: "Why doesn't Subaru just tell everyone that he can see the future?" - The show establishes fairly early on that Subaru can't tell people about his return from death ability, and even if he could it's doubtful that anyone would believe him. "Why doesn't Subaru just keep killing himself until he can learn everything ever?" - Subaru feels the pain of each death and it's fairly clear that he doesn't exactly enjoy dying, maybe it would be logical to do this but it's not what the MC wants to do and to be honest I don't think long montages of anime suicide would make for good television. It would feel like a cop out basically. "It's a harem" - it's not a harem. Only Rem wants Subaru's dick and there has to be more than two girls after the MCs dick for it to be a harem. I understand that TAS probably didn't say this stuff (I didn't watch the video but I imagine he hates Re: Zero because of the premise and "edge") so I don't mean to strawman him and if you dislike Re:Zero now then I'm okay with that (I like Re:Zero but at the same time I acknowledge why some people hate it), but this doesn't negate the fact that some people are uninformed about what Re:Zero actually is. |
TyrelSep 22, 2016 3:46 PM
| Right now the only thing I dislike about Re:Zero is Subaru's attempts to win Emilia. I'm not into Waifu Wars, so my dislike is firmly rooted in Subaru manipulating his way into wooing her. The entire reason the kid suffered is because of his childish feelings for her, and I'd hate to see the series end with the two of them together. Other than that, Re: Zero is great. |
| Pointing the obvious? Tricking me that it was rare show where main character changes his love interest in middle of the show, but NOPE author trolled me and changed it to regular 'princess saving'.When i first watched episode where Rem confesses and i heard subaru anwser i was like: PS. And the constant Subaru changing from insane to calm in a split of second, like wtf. |
TyrelSep 22, 2016 3:41 PM
| I didn't like how long it took Subaru to understand what he needed to do. It felt stupid watching him desperately try stupid stuff without thinking things through all the way. anyone who has seen groundhog day will give you 900 things they would do with Subaru's power, but honestly it's like the writer wanted to make him do the most useless things for the sake of it. It was enjoyable show, but suffers an annoying MC, just like 90% of all anime.. |
| I don't care. |
i like this show. but the things i dislike

| I'm pretty disappointed that there wasn't a gut-wrenching twist after that happy happy ending. Having the despair and shock hit then would've been pitch bloody perfect. |
Ckan said: I'm pretty disappointed that there wasn't a gut-wrenching twist after that happy happy ending. Having the despair and shock hit then would've been pitch bloody perfect. Funny because that's exactly what was about to happen in the last few minutes of the final episode. Shame they weren't able to extend the episode just a bit more to show it. |
| This series was a disaster. Skipped through last episode. A worthless garbage anime that was produced to make bank and not art. |
| -the ending : after all the things that rem does for subaru guess what? they didnt even show her in the last ep -that anime tried so hard to not be generic but still failed : the first girl win //plot armor // garbage villains // subaru still a idiot generic mc for me |
 |
| If Rem had been shown in the last episode that wouldve drastically complicated adapting the 4th arc. Where as nudging it (sloppily) by mentioning the blank letter and ommiting the big shock everyone was pissied about left both doors open.

| I hate watcher here complain that the answers are not told at the end of this season, the author said there will be total of 11 arc, we are only at the first 3 arc, why do people expect all answer will be told in the first season?. I hate watchers that don't understand how Subaru RBD Ability really works, they think Subaru RBD ability have no consequence. can he even choose where and when he wants to RBD?. Until there is more season of the anime we will never know all the answers. I think Most watcher didn't pay attention to the plot of the story, 1 example is why is there a "Blank Letter"? who wrote the "Blank Letter" why it became a "Blank Letter" and no one ever mention their beloved waifu during the last part of the season 1. it is hinted so clearly and no one notice it. |

You should judge something for what it gives not for what it might give you, right now they are right on telling that the show doesn´t answer important questions and that is mostly true, but if there is a season 2 that answer those questions they might change their thoughts about the show. |
| The very concept of "Return by Death" since it makes literally anything bad that ever happens completely irrelevant and therefore robs the series of any and all (actual) drama. Rarely did I find myself caring so little for any events in a series, since I knew nothing of the "terrible" stuff would be permanent anyway. An important character getting killed? I don't give a shit, that character will be back by the beginning of next episode anyway. The author seems to realize this problem as well. Since it's nearly impossible to get a reaction out of the viewer with the actual fact that someone died, the death has to be particularly brutal to somehow faze the viewer. From the general reception of the show, this actually seems to work on a lot of people. To me it just comes across as pointlessly brutal gorn....and I still don't care about it. Subaru not exploiting the shit out of this, instead losing his mind for no reason other than "getting killed hurts for a moment" made him even more insufferable than he already was, personality wise. But seriously, Return by Death is one of the worst plot devices I have ever seen in any work of fiction. Way to rob a series of all tension right from the very beginning... |

CodeBlazeFate said: Emilia, and most others are absolutely useless at almost everything. There are continuity errors with some of the checkpoints. The entirety of episodes 12-17. Nuff said. those episodes were the most trying of episodes for me due to it just felt like he was dying in gruesome ways to say hey look how gruesome we can make it. And even though there was gore and action, I was bored. I nearly dropped it right around that time frame because it sucked because we were not progressing forward in the plot; it just became about how much of a little bitch Subaru was. |

Zaymos said: What is the story of this show again? The entire first episode of the show. All girls love Suburu cuz he's the new kirito. The 3D CGI which cuses my eyes to bleed. Subura and his OP plot armor. What is Subura reason for doing all of this? 1. It's about a guy who gets transported into a fantasy world where he respawns upon death. 2. What's wrong with the first episode? 3. The only girl who is in love with him is Rem. Emilia and Crusch are just friends. 4. Same fam. 5. Subaru's ability (which is what I assume you are referring to) doesn't give him plot armor. Sure, it prevents him from dying and heals any physical wounds he may have, but not any psychological ones he may suffer. 6. His actions so far are driven by his "love" for Emilia Actually the entire show is about a hikikomori thrown into a fantasy world, while not explaining anything about him, then he magically turned into the most social person in the world. I would argue Subaru is more of an otaku (therefore not completely socially inept), but I do agree that the show could have given more reason as to why he reacts the way he does when he is transported. |
| People who put MAL stats in their sigs are losers lol |
| I can't think of much so I'll likely update my dislike list but off the top of my head: --too many skipped OPs/EDs --Elsa's fanservice-y appearance --"Who's Rem" still triggers me and to a far deeper level than "the dog says 'big brother'" ever did --special abilities like Felt's Blessing of the Wind or whatever were only mentioned/used in episode 1b and 25. Smudy said: - The incredible direction in episode 15. - Dove scene in episode 18 - Wilhelm killing the whale paired with flashbacks in episode 21 - Subaru as Petelgeuse in episode 23 - Ringtone in episode 22 Fuck, wrong one. lmao I was gonna berate the hell outta you for that list. ESPECIALLY Wilhelm killing the White Whale while flashing back to him and Theresia |
 |
| It was a pretty good show with an interesting plot and occasionally some really cool moments, but ultimately it suffers from the "generic syndrome" that the majority of TV anime suffers from. -Lots of exposition delivered through dialogue -Convenient reveals like powers that just show up out of nowhere for the sake of making things work -One-dimensional characters (even Subaru's duality was just black and white, I was hoping for a little more on the psychological side of things) -Some needlessly slow pacing here and there, especially in the second arc. -Uninspired art with the occasional, fluffy digital lighting effects that are standard these days. Ultimately, if someone asked me if it's worth watching I'd say yes, but there are plenty of other shows I'd recommend first. Possibly a decent gateway anime though! |
 |
| I'm just pondering whether or not watching the last episode Is even worth the 25 minutes anymore, as it stopped being even entertaining soon after Subaru became the "competent lead". |
 |
| Episode 18 being both the best episode of the season and the worst. The confession/rant scene went from amazing to absolute garbage thanks to Subaru's last line. Typical bait and switch waifu crap I've seen a million times in LN's. Anyway, decent show. Found it very entertaining despite it's faults. |
 |
| The show started really strong but ran out of steam by the last arc, where I was even getting a bit bored. They overdid that Betelgeuse character. He wasn't very intimidating at all. After a while it was repetitive and boring. |
| How the story progressed, there were a lot of unnecessary episodes and how the characters developed. When they confess they are like a totally different character (like rem) and how a shut-in can command an army, befriend someone who is participating for queen, have so much misery and problems. This show goes to extreme problems to extreme resolves and then again to extreme problems. All because of subaru and the fact that rem first wanted to kill him and then after working extra hard this is avoided and the albeasts are gonna attack them and Rem ofcourse already loves Subaru by then and tries to kill them. ''Power of love'' + Bad writing + Bad story progression + Character development done wrong. That's what I dislike about this show. Edit: They are all about 16 years old and they talk about love as if they're 30 and they found the love of their life. Like dafuq |
