Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- (light novel)
| I can already see all the WTFs in the discussion thread for the next episode :D rakp333 said: I didn't notice any major spoilers...Tbh this PV is bit spoiler-ish. |
 |
Slences said: I think the Subaru's design in memory snow is same with season 1 but in season 2.He face get bigger and his eyes also little bit different from then design. All of the faces in season 2 (Emilia, Ram, Subaru) got longer this season. They are less “cute” or “moe“ I suppose. 3 quarter view of characters tend to show nostrils and nose bridge which is a clear attempt to make the characters less moe, more adult. Noses were just a dot in the first season. Same thing with eyes (sharper less rounded, no shading). And of course, the ears (simplified, no shading) |

| And here I made a PV thread *sigh* I never knew you post it on general |
 Join Emilia's self-proclaimed knights club if you are a fellow Emilia fan |
| I think it’s perfectly fine to post it in a separate thread. In fact, it’s easier because it’s not bogged down by the general discussion here. |

| Blame COVID-19. But I'm certain most of this will be fixed for the BD release. |

| Subaru could die and I wouldn't care. Edit: die forever of course |
| Based on the current pace of the adaptation I think the first cour will end on a cliffhanger. |

We just have to wait and see :)mozgow said: Based on the current pace of the adaptation I think the first cour will end on a cliffhanger. Yes, if they keep the same pacing it'll end with ending of vol12. And it's a good way to keep up the hype and anticipation for 2nd cour. But, I'll prefer if cour2 is given more time. It has very good cathartic scenes, big character moments for all of the cast, and the thematic payoffs. A perfect 1:1 adaptation (like Ep4 Subaru's 1st trial) is very desirable for these scenes/moments. So, I think it's probably better if they can somehow squeeze in some part of vol13 also into the 1st cour. Something like ending with Unrelated to the above - when MAL was down yesterday I watched some Re:Zero-related stuff on YouTube. There was that one video about unresolved mysteries from season 1 and it got me thinking about other mysteries (especially the ones after arc 5). And so I got this idea/theory: |

| Re:zero is garbage and the second season should not exist, seriously Why you're still supporting this trash? The world is lazy, the characters are bad and the time reset kills all the tension, there's no real reason to support this thing. |

It just looks like you're very salty because your favourite anime didn't get a sequel. This show is interesting to people who've spent time analysing the world, characters, and the story. And there is tons of material (Novels) left to adapt. When completed, the story and world big enough to require 6+ seasons (25 eps each) for a faithful adaptation. But yes, your taste is supreme, and all the people who love this show (and waited years for a sequel) are dumb idiots. The characters are flat, the princesses are one-dimensional bitches with absolutely no backstory and dissonant personalities, two of them decide to help Subaru despite that they set that they don't want to help him and they reject him already in the past. The main cast is not good either, the waifu baits Rem and the elf seems to have none own will, they breathe and live just to indulge the protagonist and their world spin around his dick. And the story... did you hear when I mentioned the "time-reset" I mean. How can you defend a show that uses the time reset constantly in a such sassy way? |

Well you did not do a good job "analizing it" The "pricess" helped him because he gave them something they needed. Rem is kinda a waifu bait... But she is gone now, Emilia motivation has nothing to do with Subaru, if anything Subaru works for Emilia's dream not the other way around. Crush is not one-dimensional, let alone a bitch, ther other just don't have focus yet, but they will. It would be good on WHY using "time-reset" is bad and not talking that is bad by default. Rem is gone... ok, she still a waifu bait, Emilia's world spin around Subaru desires, the show barely focus on his attempts to create an "equality world" and focus more on her honeyed romantic interactions with subaru. Crush have absolutely no backstory, how the hell that doesn't make her a one-dimensional character? We can resume her personality in one sentence "cold bitch" "It would be good on WHY using "time-reset" is bad and not talking that is bad by default" Do also you want an explanation of why the water is wet? The time-reset take place after the dead of an important character, taking all the emotional weight away. |

 "You don't get it, a million sorry's is not equal to one thank you." — Emilia |
rakp333 said: Crusch helping him was a diplomatic deal between Emilia faction and Crusch faction in exchange for the mining rights to Crystals in Elior Forest, and also the information on White Whale (Crusch & Wilhelm wanted to kill the whale). All this has been effectively conveyed in Season 1. It was very hard for Subaru to forge this alliance. He had to die multiple times and use knowledge from other timelines to somehow convince Crusch. The mining rights are to Anastasia not to Crusch, Anastasia is the one who seems to be interested on the mining rights, and the information of the White Whale is unconvincing even Crusch herself doubted bout it... but she trusted him because we need the plot to move on. Rem's character is good in the sense how she overcomes her own inferiority complexes Waifu bait is THE MAIN FEATURE OF REM, her tragic past is completely takeoff from the plot and then, her world focused only on being subaru's favorite maid sex-bot, she's not idealizing Subaru because of "his great human characteristics" she's idealizing him to let the self-insertion into the protagonist happen. Did you watch Ep12,Ep13 and Ep17? Ep12: Emilia being the Subaru's baby sister. Ep13: Emilia says she wants to change the world... and then she ends up worried about Subaru. Ep17: The only time Emilia appears, is to argue with Subaru and die. The remaining 90% of Subaru/Emilia interactions are them flirting. We see multiple times in Season 1 that she is studying. She's studying... wow. She has another (more clear) main goal for partaking in the royal selection All their goals should be slightly clear on the season one, not in the season 2 after 28 episodes. It took Subaru entire season 1 and dying 10-15 times to be able to progress their relationship to this point It took around 10-15 time resets to Subaru to get the half-elf pussy... wow, that's definitely not cheating. She has a backstory in the Novels. But things are cut in the anime That supposed to be an excuse? But it looks like you didn't pay enough attention to her character Ep14: She was just saying that she don't want a weak enemy to fight, it wasn't a dinner between friends or anything. Ep16: So? Ep19: With what you said in the previous point, this only proves that every girl in the show helps Subaru because... well, why not having a harem here? Ep21: Harem factor, she has absolutely no reason to interact to Subaru in that way, it feels so unnatural. She's totally a cold-bitch... except when they wanna makes you feel important. Watch Ep1 of Season 2. Subaru's reset couldn't help Rem and she's gone now And that take away all the other times when it actually worked to save everyone? Besides, Rem's not death, she's just sleeping and is more than obvious that they will bring her back, If they don't that would be a surprise. Moreover, the show is not focused on making the deaths "emotional Oh of course not. I mean, they only showed how Subaru's broke his own mind because of seeing her friend being brutally killed multiple times... no, this definitely not serious. Re:Zero is more of a character study. The time-reset mechanism is used to explore the world and characters. We see different sides to other characters, and to Subaru himself, on different loops 1.Practically every show allowed to do a character study, that's not new. 2.-The summary is, there is a kingdom with bitch-princesses on it and an evil cult, I only know a bit of the History of the town I don't know how the society works I never see the Council of Elders working and so on and so on and so on. 3.- We see different sides of other characters... and then we completely forget them, literally in every single time-reset. Apart from the "exploration" aspect, the deaths are a mean to make Subaru realize how weak and powerless he is He has the most op superpower in the anime, that's just so dissonant The main tragedy of time-reset is that no other character remembers Subaru and he has to carry all the emotions on his own Everybody ends up loving him anyway... wow that's tragic. |

| It was the first episode to be completed at home, but anime staffs work on mutiple episodes at the same time. This was the first episode (from our watching perspective) to be completed working from home, but that doesn't mean the entire thing was done outside of the studio, and that applies to the next episodes as well. |

Ok that's kinda truth, but that doesn't mean that Crusch gives a sh*t about the mining rights, they literally said that's not enough. Moreover, Crusch could tell he was not lying. And he mentioned that he got this information from his Metia She also said that she have several questions and doubts about it, but decided to trust in "the spirit that led him to create this situation" such a lazy reason to trust anybody That self-insertion is broken by Subaru rejecting her How exactly that breaks the self-insertion? He's still having the approval of everyone in addition to the pussy of the elf and the slav... I mean, the maid. Ep12: Emilia's main goal is royal selection. Ep13: She stands up for herself, and gives Subaru that beatdown. Pretty much saying that she is her own person and doesn't revolve around the MC. Ep12: And take care of Subaru (specially take care of subaru) Ep13: She was worried because of all the stuff he did for her, her election was something secondary. More like Subaru trying to flirt with her. Ok... stills sh*t. You're just being ignorant now. What's wrong with studying. It's the most important and realistic part. To be a good ruler you cannot be uneducated. Need have a good understanding of the inner workings of the kingdom, economics, politics, etc. When did I say that it was wrong? The point here is. 1.- Studying doesn't mean that you want to change the world. 2.- You don't know if she's studying economy, spells or if she's just reading erotic literature, this is the dumbest argument of all the comments. ReZero has it's own way of nonlinear storytelling "It's not wrong, it's my style" next. But it looks like people like you want all the info to be dumped in the beginning "Hello nice to meet you, why are you here?" "Shut up idiot, you only want all the info to be dumped in the beginning, ha" Again, you're just being ignorant. There's nothing wrong in that. It was a rough journey for him So? Literally the time-reset turns everything to normality, even to a "horribly" world like re:zero, Subaru should stop worried a long time ago, because nothing lethal happen to his mutuals, you just said that the deaths are not supposed to be emotional, but now you're saying that death is rough, Jesus Christ. And she is just starting to open up to him Since she just restarts his personality every time the time-reset happens, that shouldn't be possible, literally she forgets every event on the story, and every new interaction is different, therefore, there's no reason to get the same behavior when they are treating you differently. You make a one liner that "She is 1D because she doesn't have a backstory" Which kind of deep character doesn't have a background? You're again being very ignorant. Giving a sword to a dog doesn't make it a knight or soldier. The show pretty much established how weak and pathetic Subaru is. Subaru is not a dog, he can perfectly be aware to take advantage of the power he has, he's not a dog with a sword, he is a weak human being with a powerful weapon. dude. Seriously? Pretty much ignoring all the efforts he needs to put in? Oh! You mean... the cheating... yeah, that's totally not unfair. It's about the journey, and not just the final result Well, the journey was sh1t It's a criticism on Otaku "escapism" tropes Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha You expect them to tell you more about the characters, and the world, but also cry when the show gets another season? Pretty hypocritical. If you weren't able to introduce them properly in the first 25 FREAKING EPISODES, then What makes you think that introducing them later is a good idea? |

| Do you think it is possible for anime-onlies to figure out who hired Elsa and why? There are some interesting theories in the latest discussion thread, and when you combine some of them you could get the full picture, but can anime-onlies do so? |

rakp333 said: Slences said: The 'real' problem I have,is the scene between Subaru and Petra.It was really awkward and unnecessarily. Yeah. I would agree that was a bit awkward & cringy. It felt much better in the Novel though. That is one flaw that really made me cringe. They should've focus on finding the way to escape other than having a short "cute" moment with Petra. |
"You don't get it, a million sorry's is not equal to one thank you." — Emilia |
| Actually, it should have been obvious from the start. What fruitful discussion is to be had, let me rephrase, 'General discussion' as purported, is to be had by barging in to a series forum (with WN/LN readers on board) and trying to push a rhetoric like... Why you're still supporting this trash? there's no real reason to support this thing. A simple glance over how the replies developed were rather telling. @mozgow had pretty much called it back there. Then, this guy @rakp333 takes time to draft replies (from a fan perspective, someone who is supporting this 'trash'), which only serves to be shot down mockingly due to petty ego running along the lines of "my analysis is uhh.. superior to yours".Heck, Emilia is supposedly studying for royal selections but because it was never shown to us what the contents she was studying were, therefore, clearly erotica is the right course material she needs to prepare herself. Sure... why not, am I right ? It's a real fuck-fest out there. xD This is humour, not criticism anymore. Maybe just thank the guy for attempting to be witty and no need to bother any more than that. |

I hope their chemistry level will soon rise up till they will confessed each other in a right time, but Subaru had that awkward play before Emilia in the first place, though. I can think of same characterization formula of Subaru as Eren's character development... I think? Well, not like he has same ideal as Eren tho, but a same behavior. Mod Edit: Removed baiting. |

"You don't get it, a million sorry's is not equal to one thank you." — Emilia |
| Also There is a possibility of things heading that way, depending on how you choose to observe Emilia's words of 'reassurance' to Subaru on the current hot-topic, in Arc 6. It's quite open to interpretation to be honest but I feel it would probably make some thematic sense and give some clear direction to the story if we consider who Subaru's true BFF in the grand scheme of things is. I would also prefer if it goes in that direction. There's more opportunities for Emilia to expand as a character that way. At present, she is kind of a 'pure' maiden who doesn't develop very negative feelings. HanashiD4 said: That's hot tho, ngl.
