@Yokurama
The big revelation leading to the meat of the story will only come in the episode 11 (or 12 if they go for a double middle episode), with most things before being there to introduce early characters then get to know them ("character-centric episodes", "fillers", depending on who you ask).
At least, that is the common schema of a full-length TV anime



11 or 12 eps? That's gonna be a bit of a wait. That's fine though, I'm assuming the character introduction episodes should be entertaining on their own too.

Interesting answers, though my questions were mostly rhetorical, a way to point out possible flaws in the idea of fictional worlds being created by imagination.

4/5 Any idea if the fiction characters are supposed to be archetypes of a genre or more precisely a wink to a real work of fiction?

Seems to be bit of both, though from available evidence we're largely being given genre achetypes.

It's studio troyca, the guys who did Aldnoah Zero. The art style and polish are very different from UFOtable, which is arguably the superior studio.

Ikr im not that stupid to not check who is behind Re:Creators. None can compare with Ufotable and their work is on another level but faces from both studios looks similar. Not to mention sound effects ...

I feel like the fight scene only happened to flaunt the gorgeous sakuga these artists can pull off.


Story-wise it was a 3/5 but animation-wise it was a 5/5 easily. With a 22 episode show I really hope they can keep it up.

Huh, I don't get it why were they fighting? Did they just throw in that fight with the magical girl to show off their animation? I like the idea of this show, taking characters from multiple games, anime and novels then throwing them in the real world. However, I haven't seen any characters that i actually like so far they are all boring to me.

You are exactly the problem this series is trying to address. You could not even read that due to Magical Girl world logic and her philosophy she is "obliged" to fight because she always wins and everyone ends up happy in the end.
You are as oblivious as that "Mahou Shoujo", you could not even keep up with the dialogues.

hmm.. oh i read that. even with mahou shoujo anime i havent seen any where the magical girl flat out attacks someone that isnt threathening anyone or isnt a demon in disquise. i found the reasoning too weak to acknowledge. What exactly is the problem that this anime trying to address? you lost me on that. The only thing i can see it trying to convey is the different logic and physics of different anime clashing. However, you make it sound like there is something else this is trying to "fix".

I actually love this show, i find it to be fun to watch and suprisingly funny in the most subtle of ways. One exaxample is when they're talking about the different worlds and Meteora just breaks the fourth wall with a feather and says that there is a high probability that the world he's in is fictional XD. Also the guy at the end had a "COMPANION" this has to be a jojo reference right!??!!

I thought this show was similar to Highschool DXD when I saw the posters lol.

Oh my.. I can't believe I was so wrong. I was late to start this anime, I'm gonna pick up pace! >.<

After watching episode 2, I'm getting the same vibe as Fate series lol... I hope we'll see more solid explanation what are these creators and they inert powers to summon these fictional characters.

Mamika is great, she brought some really nice action and sakuga. I also love the idea of all these incompatible characters being pitted against each other. I liked the first half, too, as the initial trio was exploring the "real world" and trying to make sense of what is happening.

Military Uniform Princess is a fitting name for our edgy antagonist.

Pretty LN-ish, fuck that Sota guy, why's he even in the plot?? Other than his chara, rest is pretty decent.

They DO know that Sota's not the only one who 'knows' them, he's dime a dozen otaku there. If he can just complete his half-uttering and mumbling, the picture will be a lot clearer for the 2 heroines....just my rant..

Honestly episode spent way too much time giving exposition. I was getting a little bored there. The ending did pick up though. The author meeting Selesia was really amusing. Though I expected her anger at him to be a little more...focused? Like it keeps almost seeming like she resents the amount of fan service inherent in her character. But it doesn't really do anything with that. Mamika is pretty funny. And while I agree with Celesia and Katana man that her methods don't really gel with characters from other genres. I can't help but feel sorry for her. There was also something kind of ingenious and cool about her cutesy attacks being brutal. Though her freak out over the blood was what earned my sympathy.

It's an interesting concept, but the execution feels off. Certainly didn't help that the first half of the episode was nothing but talking. I'll give it one more episode to see if it can pick up the pacing.

Welp! Now we dragged Madoka and Persona into it too!

So, unlike the last episode, we start off with, not an exposition dump, but rather a philosophical dump. But still, hats off to the people behind this, from the dump alone, we can tell a lot of thought were put into this, and the concept of YOU making a world possible is fascinating and should be explored more in other media.HECK! Meteora ACTUALLY gives a legit reason as to why she eats so much, not for the sake of eating too much, but because she likes the flavor. Let's see you top that! And it gives a real nice insight as to how a creator would feel meeting his own creation and vice versa, it's quite amazing actually. This concept alone is another reason, why you should watch this show. Unless they screw it up later, in which case, $#%&@!!!

And I have to admit, the OP caught me off guard and showed most of the cast, so I'll keep it sequential. We got Madoka from Precure (I know what I said) dropping in and we also have Gary Oak from Persona 'Whatever number' (Last boss? Main Rival? They're not even hiding it! And if he were from a manga, then stand would make much more sense, but since he's from a video game, it's Persona) So the show is giving us a lot of build-up and introducing the characters bit by bit. And the ending is pretty nice too.

Alright show, I'm hooked. Now, what are you going to do next? Surprise me!
ONWARDS! Away from homework and on to more anime!!!

i was ready to write a totally negative comment, as this episode was highly disappointing compared to the first one. until the guy came at the end, i thought he was kinda cool. ugly and with a drawling accent but still cool. the companion he mentioned at the end reminds me of persona? is it indeed based off of persona? i was rolling my eyes as they explained the worlds and the creators thing, now i understand why it is called re:creators. however everything sounded really dumb/stretched, i'd wish they hadn't explained and i'd be happy to take everything for face value. honestly wtf was up with the clearly madoka character? this is similar to hataraku maou where they pop up in the 'real world' and acclimated to the conditions there, fighting with their powers n shit. i mean that is what is going on... sort of.

Selesia and Meteora are a lot more humane/down-to-earth than I thought they were, but Souta's still pretty bland. He seems like a bland, weak otaku protagnist.

I'm not sure why Mamika is so intent on attacking Selesia just because of a difference in ideals, though. Yuya looks really cool, and his voice is really fitting.

Well its because mamika comes from a very simple story. 'If you dont agree with someone you hit them with love hearts and then everything will be ok.' Thats how she thinks because thats how her world worked. She didnt need to argue, or prove your point or try to reason with anyone because in her story, she is always right. So the reason she fought was because she doesnt know any better, hence why she was so distraught when her attacks caused damage and there was blood. She had never experienced it before, and she was naive enough to believe thats how this world works also because that was how she was written.

Its actually brilliant character writing and really makes these character feel real due to them having proper thoughts based on the experiences from their own worlds.
