From what I gathered during it's first run:

Subaru, as our emotional MC, seems to be the main problem xD

Too many re zero supremacists despite season 2 being a disappointment. Jesus Christ can they stop pushing disappointing arcs as peak

It's because I don't like shoujo romances since in shoujo romances,it's the job of male lead to rescue and make the female lead to fall in love with him and the story ends when finally the female lead confesses or affirms her love for male lead... To make this happen, the male lead suffers emotionally, undergoes humiliation, gets emasculated, act pathetic, pretty much beg the female lead for love... For those reasons I just avoid shoujo romances...


Does this sound familiar to you? Shows like Re Zero, Rental girlfriend, Suzuka, Maison Ikkoku etc all have this type of romance and I've dropped those anime in episode 1

I'm 22 years old. Explain to me meaning of Darling in the Franxx which accepted universally as bad anime.

Explaining Re:Zero to people who doesn't understand it is same as explaining blind person a rainbow.



You are 22 years old but have a childish mentality. I asked what's the logic in Re: Zero are you so childish that you're kidding me? You're the kind of depressed person who has no friends and nothing. Ok so. Can you explain the logic to me so that I can understand and continue to look at him? Or?Because I don't want to argue and get upset about it. Just tell me that because I see you love the Re: Zero series, tell me its logic or something so I can understand it. Because at the moment it seems embarrassing to me.

Why should i explain someone who only seen prologue and gave 1 score meaning of the series? It is flawless dark fantasy with genius writing, worldbuilding, lore, characters, character development, character study, storyline, execution, musics and more stuff.

Is it first time you watch fantasy series in your life? You hate Subaru which is best written main character in the whole fiction.

You need to read more books, watch more series, more reviews on anything to understand difference between bad writing and good writing. You can watch Re:Zero videos if you want to see other people perspective on this. But if you hate first season so much i recommend ignoring the series in your life and only watch one piece or other one dimensional shounens with no depth.
@Okeanix people like you are the worst. Defending something for the sake of being a toxic loser...
You had the chance to win over someone for a thing you like but decided to personally attack him. Why? Because you got nothing. Just admit it already and don't lose face. Besides, other's reading this lile me, and would love to know it too, but you are like every ideologist, no foundation, just an idea

It’s just not that good. I made it half way through the first season hoping it would get better but it didn’t. The main character is dumb, so a lot of screen time is devoted to him bumbling around. His decisions and problem solving skills are atrocious. The side characters aren’t very interesting either, and up to episode 6 there still seems to be a lack of any overarching plot. There are hints that a plot might exist somewhere.. or better yet, there is potential for plot but.. i dunno. I feel no need to continue.

I think I would enjoy this more if Subaru showed more motivation to improve. Instead, through everything, he’s been more invested in trying to get Emilia on a date.

All in all, I found Re:Zero to be tiresome. Great concept ruined (for me) by an incompetent pervert.

Oh and lastly I’ll add that the constant references to what Subaru thinks he’s entitled to as protagonist annoy me instead of amusing me. The “this is the part where a pretty girl comes to save me” or “I’m supposed to wake up to a pretty girl by my bedside asking if I’m okay!”

Disclaimer: This is my takeaway, and I understand opinions are subjective I simply replied with my personal reasons to the posed question

While I do like Rezero , really did like season 1.
Season 2 has a lot of issues and make me realize Rezero isn't best thing ever. I loved S1 even with it flaws.
I agree with lot point on here.

I get Subaru supposed to be weak and "relatable".
Sorry dying millions time isn't relatable or normal.
It can get really tiredness seeing him dye for million time.
It like watching torture porn literally. Come on Subaru can you do freaking better.


Season 3 does seen to fixing some of issues I has with season 2.
Like how other character are finally doing stuff and are back from season 1.
Plus finally Subaru can freaking fight. It was kinda annoying he got knight end of Season 2. When he doesn't really fight.
It him going on fetch quest and getting right character at the right time. If doesn't meet the requirements he get axed.
But seriously all that training just get whip skill. Did you forget how op your enemies are. Subaru are you even trying not to die.

Season 2 was way to focus on Subaru. While we finally got back story for Emilia. I was honestly disappointed in her development.
She just all confident all sudden and felt like different character. To be fair Emilia didn't really feel like a character before.
I love her design, it top tier elf cutie. But her character is to perfect or bland.
Recent episode kinda prove this point when Lust transformed into Emilia. Lust prove perfect Emilia is.


I missed Rem , putting in her coma was such dumb move. I really enjoy her confession and development.
Plus she was alway there for him. She was such cool battle buddy against the whale.
Before Rezero fan attack me thinking I mad about Subaru not choosing Rem.
I didn't mind him choices Emilia. Why because I'm not freaking Subaru. Subaru can choose who ever he want.
But if was me definitely gone Rem lol.

Even if this series is torture porn. I going to finish this series to the end. Even if series make me sick sometime.
I do like the series and do think it good. But not perfect masterpiece and Subaru isn't best thing ever. Not everyone love watching torture porn.
I can't stand how some Rezero fan are elitist. You can't criticisms a little bit.
Yes some people prefer other shows. It call different tastes. Few criticism isn't going hurt the series.
It huge franchise, few people not liking it not going hurt it. It will survive.

Its just a dumb anime when i said its a ok 6/10 on hianime website . the replies flooded with hate and fricking 20+ dislikes just cuz i gave the anime a 6/10 from my opinion like the re:zero fandom is worse than mha fandom and also the mc is so goddamn so weak . in every anime , there is some reward given to the mc for trying hard and training but this author decided every time he dies all his skills and learnings return to 0 like what is the point of him . save emilia for his whole life? . i watched till the end of first season and also watched the movie . this is the first time when i genuinely drop a anime after the tokyo ghoul:re . If u love this anime . nice but its just not my type.

I do have a few complaints

1. Ram- She sucks. I don't find her a good character at all. She's obnoxious as fuck. See, here's the thing: A character like her can work for me. I like asshole characters, but because of the fact that there asshole behavior gets punished or called out for their bs. Even a smart mouth character can work if they can get roasted/put in their place. Granted, it doesn't have to happen all of the time, but it does provide a nice balance for their character and provide a sense of catharsis for me. Ram doesn't have any of that. I swear to God, 90% of her dialogue is her talking to whoever she wants to, however she wants to, whenever she wants to without any fear or consequences. Look, I don't mind outspoken people, I truly don't, but a lot of her dialogue feels like so UNECESSARY. A significant portion of my hatred for her if she would shut her fucking mouth. She barely says anything funny or insightful. Don't even get me started on her Stockholm syndrome. Let me get this straight: The story calls out/punishes Subaru for his unhealthy love for Emilia in arc 3, but Ram as of arc 9, STILL has Stockholm syndrome? Cool.

2. rem (arc 7)- Well... this is like the 50th time I've ranted about her. I'm probably the biggest arc 7 rem hater to ever exist. It's just... it frustrates me. Maybe a huge part of me just felt saddened because i just missed how she was in arc 3. She was Subaru's only ally, and it felt very wholesome for the most part, (despite the novels having her do a lot of creepy shits, mostly in the side stories) but then we go back to how she treated him in arc 2, which... I did not miss that, like... at all. Strangling him twice, smacking him on a few occasions, punching him in the face, insulting him on numerous times, and acting cold hearted and ruthless towards for the most minor shit imaginable. I was like... damn I'd take arc 3 rem back in a heartbeat. People can call her whatever the fuck they want to "boring" one dimensional" "waifu bait" "simp" "forced" what have you. I'd take arc 3 rem over this fucking heaping pile of trash. I don't like how now she's a tsundere who doesn't know how to act. Does she treat anyone else the way she treats Subaru? No. At least with arc 2, the shit she (and other characters) did were from a different timeline, so she doesn't remember them. In arc 7, she remembers everything that she did, and she only apologizes to Subaru for breaking his fingers, and THAT'S IT. Granted, there were a few moments between them, but they're automically ruined when she reverts back to her cold-hearted behavior. It just makes her insufferable as hell. She's hypocritical, too. She gets on other peoples' assess and disgusted for their behavior, but well... the laundry list of things I posted speak for themselves. (she gets away with it, might i add) tbh, there was some payoff at the end, (she also falls in love with Subaru again) but to be frank, I didn't need to go through the bs to get to that point. What's worse, this takes over an ARC AND A HALF TO GET THERE! Tbh, the only thing i can praise rem for now is the fact that she looks cute in her new clothes. That's it. Hell, her character development and individuality are only present because of amnesia. She didn't grow from her flaws. They were just wiped clean off the mouth. I don't even care if she gets her memories back. Sorry for the long rant. Nothing anyone can say will make me change my mind.

My personal opinion after seeing both seasons(I do like it but getting through season one was difficult):

We don't know anything:
And we find out very little along the way. Return by death is an interesting mechanic but we know nothing about it. Thus it turns into a black box where it feels the writer can do anything he wants.

We still don't know what determines a checkpoint making them feel random and often just too convenient it's just a "Because the writer wants you to be there" button.

The penalty about not being able to tell anyone is both interesting and frustrating at the same time. Subaru feels pain and even dies. We know this and it's one of the few consistent mechanic that as viewer you have a grasp on. Until one episodes it decides to do something completely different and kill someone else because once again we know nothing and Subaru must suffer no matter the cost. The penalty just is what ever the plot desires it to be.

And then my biggest gripe: episodes 12 - 18:
Subaru goes from flawed but trying to giant douche in 10 seconds with no explanation. In my head i just wrote away as the trauma finally getting to him but the story spends no time on this.

Then he goes to several cycles of extreme suffering and we don't find out why until season 2 which makes it just feel like shock value just for the shock value. The story mirrors Roswaal and Subaru for imposing their ideals unto the women they love which is a flaw. Only the punishment Subaru receives for it just seems disproportional.

In the middle he is so depressed that he is reduced to a plant and what gets him out of plant mode is not a realisation or character development but sheer rage? What? I thought this arc was about Subaru being flawed and Subaru being faced with that? Not him shounen MC-ing himself out of serious trauma.

The story proceeds to treat him like a piece of shit for being too desperate for help? Why again? (And then the story abandons this point by having Subaru use his power to manipulate them into helping him anyways) What the moral here? he should've just manipulated people better?

And then the grand finale the resolution of his character arc is Rem saying I love you no matter what and just don't give up? So I watched all that suffering, pain, mystery , mental breakdowns just for the MC to be coddled and told there is nothing wrong with him. (And then proceeds on as usual business in pre episode 12 style Subaru).

I'm just utterly lost here on what the narrative/story wanted from Subaru here.

Not mention that the relationship between Rem and Subaru borders on toxic and has the same flaw that Subaru had in episode 12. Rem imposes her ideal hero onto Subaru not allowing him to give up? Double what. Weren't you trying to tell us thats bad. I just don't know.

That said Season 2 polishes a lot of the flaws in season 1 but still not the easiest watch i've been through.

"Rem imposes her ideal hero onto Subaru not allowing him to give up? Double what. Weren't you trying to tell us that's bad. I just don't know."

Not to mention, the story portrayed rem's idolization as something toxic and extremely flawed, but when she idolizes subaru, that same flaw gets rewarded. Instead of learning to fix her idolization issue, the story rewards her for regressing instead.

Well in the LN there's a bunch of content around the whale fight that was cut from season 1. After they kill it, it falls down causing a huge blast and Rem gets injured from it and then Subaru rushes to her thinking she's about to die and ends up telling her that he loves her and she goes all "Heh I made you say it" and then Subaru think he loves both her and Emilia about as much and goes all "if Emilia is okay with it lets do polygamy with all 3 of us together" and Rem goes okay. Might sound like a fan fiction but it's all in there. Anime only's just got the rejection in episode 18 and then "Who's Rem?" so their perception of the whole dynamic is pretty skewed. There were other Rem scenes cut too but that's the most important one.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic or condescendingor just trying to troll since you're posting from an account with literally nothing on it, but Rem has been my favorite character of all time for the last 9 years so I found Subaru rejecting her (especially in that context) absolutely disgusting and outrageous. Rem sacrifices herself to save him in multiple timelines, drags him from the depths of depression, her insert song plays while she talks about how much she loves him and his response is "I love Emilia". The girl he's barely had any meaningful interactions with and just decided he loves her 10 seconds after meeting her, and who doesn't even see him that way. Yea just no.

The fact that emilia is a written character. Yes, not well written. Written.

S1 useless
S2 sad backstory, otherwise useless for most of the season
S3 damsel in distress to cute anime girl doing cute and badass stuff

Theres no emotional peaks or standout moments cause her actions hold almost no weight. Shes just stringing along like a female shounen character in a supposedly psychological thriller. The show forces you to like her through screentime. A literal cardboard cutout. Doesnt help that Subaru constantly orbits her like a retard, shouting EMT anytime his mouth is unoccupied.

The fact that shes the coprotagonist just ruins it for me. If she were written in any other ways than this show would be pretty good.

Yeah, I hate that the anime did that, too.

"I love Emilia". The girl he's barely had any meaningful interactions with and just decided he loves her 10 seconds after meeting her, and who doesn't even see him that way. Yea just no.

Tbf, Emilia was the first person who saved his life when he came to the new world, (even though she doesn't remember it), and that lap pillow Emilia gave him not only gave him comfort, but saved him from getting killed. Yeah, rem did all of that for subaru, but without Emila's lap pillow, Subaru would've never been able to get past the mabeast, and the bond between subaru and rem in arc 3 would've never happened. Don't forget, Emilia helped saved Subaru from breaking first. Granted, I don't like the Subaru and Emilia ship (i do agree with you to an extent that their relationship isn't fleshed out well with many meaningful interactions, and later arcs make this dynamic worse) but I can somewhat see Subaru's perspective. Emilia was the only one who subaru could truly lean on in arc 2 since everybody else treated him like a monster and thought so low of him. Yeah rem does the same thing in arc 3, but subaru has bust his ASS beyond comprehension to get to that point, and it wasn't even all him. Whether rem is justified or not, that's another can of worms i don't want to get into, but to have to work and suffer so hard for her devotion, it's something that can sour a person's perspective. As much as I like rem, I sure as hell wouldn't go to such lengths to have her love me, die for me, and value me as a hero. I understand suffering for success, but if i got to through a fraction of what Subaru went through to get a girl to devote me like rem does? Nah. I'll pass. Too painful, arduous, and draining (this is coming from a rem x subaru shipper by the way). I'm not even going to open the can of worms that is arc 7 rem

@Megaman-is-hard1
Emilia saved him from some noob level bandits at zero risk or difficulty for herself. And THAT'S when he fell in love with Emilia and has been trying to impress her since. Meanwhile Rem dragged her broken dying corpse across the floor to free him in one of the timelines in addition to sacrificing herself for him in other ones. If you wanna talk about which one of them makes more sense it's not even a question.

The lap pillow was fucking stupid when it happened and he cleared that checkpoint by pure luck and plot convenience. That's true even setting aside the waifu wars. Subaru was bonding with all the girls including Rem in that arc. Ram taught him how to read, Betty even protected him during one loop but he messed it up still. He had all the information to come up with a winning strategy but he kept doing the stupidest thing (acting even more suspicious) and got bailed out by Emilia because the plot said so.
This isn't about trying to win Rem over, it's about rejecting her when she's the one in love with you and pouring her hear out. So yea, fuck him, fuck episode 18, fuck this show.

Season 1 was good. It was a progressing, interesting Story, with some cool Shock-Moments.


Season 2 is a meandering mess, as far as Im concerned. It loses focus. It drags on, quite a bit.
It also made me realize that most of it's Dialogue is incredible clishee and repetetive, as hell.

Even a smart mouth character can work if they can get roasted/put in their place. Granted, it doesn't have to happen all of the time, but it does provide a nice balance for their character and provide a sense of catharsis for me. Ram doesn't have any of that. I swear to God, 90% of her dialogue is her talking to whoever she wants to, however she wants to, whenever she wants to without any fear or consequences. Look, I don't mind outspoken people, I truly don't, but a lot of her dialogue feels like so UNECESSARY. A significant portion of my hatred for her if she would shut her fucking mouth. She barely says anything funny or insightful. Don't even get me started on her Stockholm syndrome. Let me get this straight: The story calls out/punishes Subaru for his unhealthy love for Emilia in arc 3, but Ram as of arc 9, STILL has Stockholm syndrome? Cool.

2. rem (arc 7)- Well... this is like the 50th time I've ranted about her. I'm probably the biggest arc 7 rem hater to ever exist. It's just... it frustrates me. Maybe a huge part of me just felt saddened because i just missed how she was in arc 3. She was Subaru's only ally, and it felt very wholesome for the most part, (despite the novels having her do a lot of creepy shits, mostly in the side stories) but then we go back to how she treated him in arc 2, which... I did not miss that, like... at all. Strangling him twice, smacking him on a few occasions, punching him in the face, insulting him on numerous times, and acting cold hearted and ruthless towards for the most minor shit imaginable. I was like... damn I'd take arc 3 rem back in a heartbeat. People can call her whatever the fuck they want to "boring" one dimensional" "waifu bait" "simp" "forced" what have you. I'd take arc 3 rem over this fucking heaping pile of trash. I don't like how now she's a tsundere who doesn't know how to act. Does she treat anyone else the way she treats Subaru? No. At least with arc 2, the shit she (and other characters) did were from a different timeline, so she doesn't remember them. In arc 7, she remembers everything that she did, and she only apologizes to Subaru for breaking his fingers, and THAT'S IT. Granted, there were a few moments between them, but they're automically ruined when she reverts back to her cold-hearted behavior. It just makes her insufferable as hell. She's hypocritical, too. She gets on other peoples' assess and disgusted for their behavior, but well... the laundry list of things I posted speak for themselves. (she gets away with it, might i add) tbh, there was some payoff at the end, (she also falls in love with Subaru again) but to be frank, I didn't need to go through the bs to get to that point. What's worse, this takes over an ARC AND A HALF TO GET THERE! Tbh, the only thing i can praise rem for now is the fact that she looks cute in her new clothes. That's it. Hell, her character development and individuality are only present because of amnesia. She didn't grow from her flaws. They were just wiped clean off the mouth. I don't even care if she gets her memories back. Sorry for the long rant. Nothing anyone can say will make me change my mind.

My personal opinion after seeing both seasons(I do like it but getting through season one was difficult):

We don't know anything:
And we find out very little along the way. Return by death is an interesting mechanic but we know nothing about it. Thus it turns into a black box where it feels the writer can do anything he wants.

We still don't know what determines a checkpoint making them feel random and often just too convenient it's just a "Because the writer wants you to be there" button.

The penalty about not being able to tell anyone is both interesting and frustrating at the same time. Subaru feels pain and even dies. We know this and it's one of the few consistent mechanic that as viewer you have a grasp on. Until one episodes it decides to do something completely different and kill someone else because once again we know nothing and Subaru must suffer no matter the cost. The penalty just is what ever the plot desires it to be.

And then my biggest gripe: episodes 12 - 18:
Subaru goes from flawed but trying to giant douche in 10 seconds with no explanation. In my head i just wrote away as the trauma finally getting to him but the story spends no time on this.

Then he goes to several cycles of extreme suffering and we don't find out why until season 2 which makes it just feel like shock value just for the shock value. The story mirrors Roswaal and Subaru for imposing their ideals unto the women they love which is a flaw. Only the punishment Subaru receives for it just seems disproportional.

In the middle he is so depressed that he is reduced to a plant and what gets him out of plant mode is not a realisation or character development but sheer rage? What? I thought this arc was about Subaru being flawed and Subaru being faced with that? Not him shounen MC-ing himself out of serious trauma.

The story proceeds to treat him like a piece of shit for being too desperate for help? Why again? (And then the story abandons this point by having Subaru use his power to manipulate them into helping him anyways) What the moral here? he should've just manipulated people better?

And then the grand finale the resolution of his character arc is Rem saying I love you no matter what and just don't give up? So I watched all that suffering, pain, mystery , mental breakdowns just for the MC to be coddled and told there is nothing wrong with him. (And then proceeds on as usual business in pre episode 12 style Subaru).

I'm just utterly lost here on what the narrative/story wanted from Subaru here.

Not mention that the relationship between Rem and Subaru borders on toxic and has the same flaw that Subaru had in episode 12. Rem imposes her ideal hero onto Subaru not allowing him to give up? Double what. Weren't you trying to tell us thats bad. I just don't know.

That said Season 2 polishes a lot of the flaws in season 1 but still not the easiest watch i've been through.
@BMC1994
"Rem imposes her ideal hero onto Subaru not allowing him to give up? Double what. Weren't you trying to tell us that's bad. I just don't know."

Here's another one: in arc 7, Subaru keeps treating amnesiac rem like arc 3, and gets a reality check, but al imposes his heroic views onto subaru to help him from giving up and constantly self-harming. So... when subaru does it to someone, he gets punished and called out on it, but other characters can do it to him? That's even ignoring that Emilia did it to him in arc 6 with her speech (spoilers, in arc 6 Subaru develops amnesia, and it's not just her, but EVERYBODY does it). Man, what a massive middle finger to the mc, right? But I guess giving up is worse, apparently, so the author picks the lesser of two evils. Still dumb and fucking hypocritical, but fuck it.
Even funnier is that in season 3, crusch has amnesia, but she NEVER gets compared to her old self by felix and Wilhelm. NEVER.
The author loves to cuck the mc through arbitrary means, doesn't he?
When the Mc does it to others, it's wrong, but when others do it to him, they get rewarded and move the plot along

Like yours was any better? Hell, you didn't even give evidence for some of your counterpoints? Most of your excuses are basically "she's human," which can only work so long. Also, you constantly want to use "the narrative" as a cheap excuse to make it seem like she gets punished for her actions, when she barely gets punished at worst, and at best, she gets a slap on the wrist at best, meanwhile Subaru gets the worst. Whatever, I guess you know everything considering how big of an apologist you are and think you understand the story perfectly and view it as flawless, despite many people countering you and shutting you down. After you said Elsa is more evil than Eugard, a person who commits mass genocide, you really made yourself look like a clown. You can defend Arc 7 Rem all you want, but she is a horribly written character, and a horrible person after her reveal of figuring out everything and manipulating Subaru and antagonizing hom to protect a child who she figured out stole her everything (despite knowing he was in the right), thus putting other people in jeopardy of losing their memories. Meanwhile, she BARELY apologized for anything, never thanked him, and rarely showed any disdain or mistrust towards other people, or not to the extent that she does with Subaru, despite them being strangers such as Priscilla, Katya, Flop, and Ram (before you use "her circumstances argument," she was still trying to be friendly towards people and barely showed to be conflicting with other people despite barely knowing, so that circumstances point doesn't work). Knowing you, you'll ignore this and spin it around as good or well written. Honestly, it's kind of funny how you have a white knight complex despite being proven time and time again by so many people. You're such a fucking know it all, yet i found the Elsa comment. I'd humor you and read the post... no in fact, I can just post this, and it will automatically debunk whatever it is you have to say. Honestly, apologists like you are why people get irrritated with Re zero. You might want to get off the internet. Your white knight complex has made people believe you're a loon who needs to touch grass.

I just want to remind you that you're the same guy who said a woman who kills people by cutting their stomachs open and looks inside their stomachs open is worse/more evil than a person who committed double mass genocide. Sorry, buddy, but you did not a cook. Why do you try to get a better moral compass?

It was infinitely better since I actually gave arguments you didn't address.

Megaman-is-hard1 said:

Prove it or I'll asume you have nothing and this is a desperate rant because you have been proven wrong.

Megaman-is-hard1 said:

Cite every single thing I said and prove that is the case.

Otherwise, yet again, after being unable to respond you have to handwave dismiss.

And btw, it is funny becaus in spite of knowing that you were proven wrong, you'll try to delude yourself blocking me as if that didn't occur in the first place and keep repeating it elsewhere (knowing that it was proven wrong).

Megaman-is-hard1 said:

In which way did I use the narrative as "a cheap excuse"? Are you going to address any specific claims or are you going to keep ranting.

And no, I already explained why it makes sense for Subaru not to punish her and why she is not a bad person intrinsically speaking...

And she does constantly suffer from her inability to come to terms with Subaru, which is why she breaks down in ch 23.

I explained all of this in more depth there but of course you are unable to address it directly.

Like, are you going to engage with any arguments or are you just trying to delude yourself into thinking you proved me wrong to justify the block?

Megaman-is-hard1 said:
meanwhile Subaru gets the worst.


Your own suffering does not justify punishment, much less resentment, for someone who clearly is not acting to trying to maximize your suffering and whose behavior is both to expect and realistic (as proven in the essay).

I already delineated the terms for what punishment is and its purpose, and it would be both nonsensical and OOC for Subaru to punish Rem. Also, he does lash out at her multiple times.

Megaman-is-hard1 said:
Whatever, I guess you know everything considering how big of an apologist you are and think you understand the story perfectly and view it as flawless,


No, I think that in a hate subreddit there exists no valid criticisms, since haters are not rational.

Megaman-is-hard1 said:

I literally just debunked this missinformation you ate up in a previous comment, there is no way you are this delusional.

That is a terrible read of what happened and I already debunked it in my section about ch 23.

Megaman-is-hard1 said:

That is not what happened, Rui literally didn't even know how to use her authority any longer and she is no longer a villain since she got memory wiped.

Megaman-is-hard1 said:

And I explained why this happened.

Btw, she did apologize and show trust towards Subaru in arc 8, so no, still wrong.

And again, read my essay and debunk it point by point or you are hand-wave dismissing.

Megaman-is-hard1 said:

what "circumstances argument" are you talking about, I literally addressed this very specific point since you constantly bring it up in the essay, and you are not even engaging with my refutation.

shows you didn't even read it.

My argument goes beyond just those specific circumstances and justifies why that occurs by analyzing more details about this and using psychology.

Until you respond, this is invalid ad nauseam.

I didn't ignore it, I literall addressed it in my essay.

"white knight complex" for just being against haters is wild.

Also, if I have been proven wrong many times by multiple people, can you please bring an example? Because I am pretty sure each of them run away from the discussion after being proven wrong.

Megaman-is-hard1 said:

You are literally trying to preemptively convince yourself in here that my response will not weaken your stance because you are already being affected by it: which is shown by you making this comment that is directed to yourself, not me.

Wow, that is sad, you just admitted that what I am saying is in fact right.

You have a custom of repeating buzzwords other people told you because you are so immature and gullible you eat up anything they say.

And it is crazy that you talk about a loon needing to touch grass when you have +300 comments on reddit crying about Rem: a fictional character.

Megaman-is-hard1 said:

Megaman-is-hard1 said:

Why do I try to get a better moral compass that is not based on edgy revenge and punishment with zero understanding of the character or psychology? Idk... because it is what people should do?

Oh, and the Vincent and Rem deal, I wasn't criticizing Vincent's character, I was criticizing rem for cooperating with someone who she doesn't trust, while being constantly defiant and resistant to Subaru, who (while she may not trust) has done for her than anyone else and has NO intention of harming her. She put Subaru in harm's way by making a decision that she should've told him about, but by not doing so, she caused Subaru to be in a scenario where if he didn't have rbd, Todd would've permanently ended him. She was told that Abel wanted to test Subaru, but she kept her mouth shut and never told him, which is stupid considering they're in an unfamiliar environment where they nearly died a few times now (granted, Abel probably didn't plan on having Subaru killed, but that doesn't matter since they don't know how dangerous vollachia truly is, and as shown, anything can happen, and your life is in a constant state of peril with the multiple near death experiences Subaru had in that arc so far. Rem knows this since she's nearly died herself had it not been for Subaru). Again, just like with a lot of situations in this arc, Rem makes a lot of situations where only subaru suffers the brunt of it, and she gets away scott free (she attacked the guards, but she gets locked in a cage or is allowed to learn how to cook. She made in abel, and subaru is being slaughtered by todd while she's hanging out with medium far away from the commotion). If you're going to respond, i don't give a fuck. I already know how much of an apologist you are. Everything in re zero is good writing. Nothing is ever flawed in this story to you, which is false since many people debunked you like how i'm doing now. You just can't accept the fact that re zero isn't as perfect as you make it out to be. This is why people blocked you on reddit (no, it's because they're assholes or you're right considering they debunked you before). The fact that you're so desperate to defend arc 7 rem so badly that you would go on here to defend her makes this white knight mentality even worse. Just accept it, man: Arc 7 rem isn't as well written as you or others make her out to be. If you can't see it that way, (which i know you won't) be my guest, although i'm not going to take you seriously since i know how much of a joke/apologist you truly are. If you want to live in your Re zero is perfect bubble, have fun. Continue to make takes that are "stupid" or "in poor faith" as you would like to do (which you not only do to me, but you do to many others as well). Your logic and arguments have been proven wrong time and time again, yet you're too much of a chicken shit to admit it (ftr, i don't block people just because they disagree with me or i don't have any clap back. It's exhausting to counter all of your points since you type dozens of essays). You act like this you have this 10/10 comprehension of the story, yet you and many re zero fanboys want to cry "Oh, you're misreading or you don't understand re zero" whenever someone has a negative opinion on the story, you literally invade reddit posts and claim they hold no weight due to the fact they're based on hating something, (that doesn't even invalidate or make all criticisms of re zero illegitimate) yet whenever someone says re zero isn't that good or when a certain character has certain issues and writing hiccups they notice, you want to pounce and shit on them, and yet you complain why places to like that exist or that they're stupid or toxic. Places like that wouldn't exist if you types of fans wouldn't be so hostile an vile over us having negative views on re zero (not even flawed ones as people could re zero a 6 or 7 out of 10, and people flock towards them and get nasty). Ngl, you have me fooled into thinking you were somewhat a legit fan (and you did have some good points, ngl), but you became pathetic, arrogant, pretentious, washed-up has-been who fumbled and is now a joke who nobody should seriously. I reward you with no sympathy, and may god have mercy on soul.

Places like that wouldn't exist if you types of fans wouldn't be so hostile an vile over us having negative views on re zero (not even flawed ones as people could re zero a 6 or 7 out of 10, and people flock towards them and get nasty).

@Megaman-is-hard1 It is nice how you have to whine after your entire dogma was evaporated and you had to run away from the discussion without responding to anything:

"Oh, and the Vincent and Rem deal, I wasn't criticizing Vincent's character, I was criticizing rem for cooperating with someone who she doesn't trust, while being constantly defiant and resistant to Subaru, who (while she may not trust) has done for her than anyone else and has NO intention of harming her."


You're already off to a terrible start. First, Rem never cooperates with Vincent knowingly. She is never present when Abel reveals his identity to Subaru, nor is she part of any strategic planning involving Abel. In Vol 27 of the LN, for example, Subaru is the one who meets Abel alone, not Rem.

Second, her "defiance" of Subaru and her care towards others is a point I already addressed in my essay, so stop deflecting and actually respond to my points:





"She put Subaru in harm's way by making a decision that she should've told him about, but by not doing so, she caused Subaru to be in a scenario where if he didn't have rbd, Todd would've permanently ended him."


What decision? Be specific. Because nowhere in Arc 7 does Rem make an independent decision that leads to Subaru’s encounter with Todd. Subaru is the one who volunteers to be bait to draw Todd out, and Rem is sidelined from the planning due to her status and Subaru’s desire to shield her. You're retroactively assigning her blame for a consequence she had zero control over. She was worried for Subaru's health and begged him to rest before that whole event even happened. Also, Rem didn’t even know about Todd. So the idea that she intentionally withheld life-saving information about him is outright fabrication.

"She was told that Abel wanted to test Subaru, but she kept her mouth shut and never told him, which is stupid considering they're in an unfamiliar environment where they nearly died a few times now."


She was never told that. The conversation about testing Subaru happens privately between Abel and Mizelda/Subaru. Rem is explicitly removed from the conversation. There is no moment where Rem learns about any test ahead of time. You are inventing knowledge she never had. Furthermore, she has been trying to protect herself and Louis the entire arc, and her distrust is universal, not selective. She doesn't trust anyone, not even Medium at first. You're twisting her ignorance into malice, which is both dishonest and easily disproven.

"(granted, Abel probably didn't plan on having Subaru killed, but that doesn't matter since they don't know how dangerous vollachia truly is, and as shown, anything can happen, and your life is in a constant state of peril with the multiple near death experiences Subaru had in that arc so far. Rem knows this since she's nearly died herself had it not been for Subaru)."


And that makes her trauma even more justified. She's nearly died, been captured, held hostage, and surrounded by strangers while dealing with amnesia. Her default assumption is that she’s in danger constantly. And yet despite that, she still chooses to stay with Subaru after she realizes he isn’t harming her.

And matter of fact, she still trusts Subaru a lot. Check when they were escaping from Jamal and she trusted Subaru with the evacuation and the rope.

Her decision to side-eye him in the early chapters isn't malice, it's realism.

"Again, just like with a lot of situations in this arc, Rem makes a lot of situations where only subaru suffers the brunt of it, and she gets away scott free"


That's just flat-out false. She’s physically disabled for most of the early arc. She collapses multiple times, can’t walk, and is terrified and disoriented from memory loss, in addition to her need of meds. She’s also captured, threatened, and later forced to live under hostile conditions. Even her bonding with Medium is a slow burn that only happens after continuous exposure. Meanwhile, Subaru is constantly hiding his suffering from her due to RbD and to another personal flaw he faces in arc 7. The narrative bends over backwards to protect her from what he goes through. Not because she deserves luxury, but because Subaru chooses to suffer alone.

Wait, but this isn’t even true considering that Subaru did in fact lash out at her at least 3 times in arc 7.

"(she attacked the guards, but she gets locked in a cage or is allowed to learn how to cook."


First, she attacks guards in defense of herself and Louis when they are literally trying to drag her away. Second, she gets imprisoned for it. That’s not “getting away.” That’s consequence. And learning to cook is not a reward in the slightest, if anything they are treating her that way because she is a disabled woman (which is kind of sexist, but it still the customs of that era).

"She made in abel, and subaru is being slaughtered by todd while she's hanging out with medium far away from the commotion)."


She didn’t “make in” Abel. Abel recruited Subaru alone, and Subaru kept Rem out of the loop on purpose. Meanwhile, Subaru is the one who volunteers to confront Todd. Rem has no idea Todd even exists at that point. She isn’t “hanging out” with Medium; she’s recovering in an inn with Louis, while Subaru is the one who chooses not to share the full plan and withhold information. You’re taking the results of Subaru’s secret-keeping and projecting the blame onto Rem. That’s the dumbest inversion imaginable.

“If you're going to respond, i don't give a fuck.”


Bro, you opened with a full paragraph because I responded. You very much give a fuck. You gave so much of a fuck you fled Reddit, found another site, and rage-typed a novel pretending you’re unbothered.

I imagine all ts as you screaming “I’m not mad!!” while punching drywall.

“I already know how much of an apologist you are.”


Oh no, not the dreaded apologist label. God forbid someone uses facts and textual evidence instead of low-effort, half-literate hate posts. If “apologist” means “guy who read the story and doesn’t seethe over headcanons,” then yeah, I’ll wear it with pride. Meanwhile, you apologize to your own brain every time you try to form a coherent sentence.

“Everything in re zero is good writing.”


Nah, that's just what it feels like when you argue with someone who actually understands narrative structure. I’m not saying everything is perfect, I’m saying your criticisms are bottom-of-the-barrel and fall apart the moment someone with two brain cells pokes them. Don’t confuse your inability to argue with me saying the show is flawless.

“Nothing is ever flawed in this story to you, which is false since many people debunked you like how i'm doing now.”


Debunked me? My brother in Christ, you blocked me. You quite literally ragequit the conversation and sealed the gates. If this is your idea of a “debunk,” then I’m guessing your idea of winning a chess match is flipping the board and crying.

“You just can't accept the fact that re zero isn't as perfect as you make it out to be.”


I accept it just fine. What I don’t accept is you screeching “bad writing” every time a character has complex motives or isn’t spoonfeeding you exposition. Just because your attention span short-circuits after two paragraphs doesn’t mean it’s the story’s fault.

“This is why people blocked you on reddit (no, it's because they're assholes or you're right considering they debunked you before).”


The mental gymnastics here are Olympic. So either I’m right or they’re assholes or I got “debunked,” but somehow still need to be blocked to shut me up? Pick a lane. You can’t claim victory and hit the block button of cope (you remind me of a flatty called Nathan Oakley) in the same breath unless you’re terrified of being proven wrong again.

“The fact that you're so desperate to defend arc 7 rem so badly that you would go on here to defend her makes this white knight mentality even worse.”


Translation: “How dare you follow up on a debate I fled and continue to expose how shallow my arguments are". Imagine being this allergic to accountability. I’m not a white knight, if anything I’m just not a coward who runs from his own claims like you did.

“Just accept it, man: Arc 7 rem isn't as well written as you or others make her out to be.”


No. And no amount of cope posts, Reddit blocks, or MyAnimeList crying sessions will change that unless you actually present a reply to what I stated.

“If you can't see it that way, (which i know you won't) be my guest, although i'm not going to take you seriously since i know how much of a joke/apologist you truly are.”


You already don’t take me seriously? So what’s this 400-word tantrum for then? You're clearly haunted. You can’t stop thinking about me. This is like writing a whole diss track and then saying “I don’t care about you.” Yes you do. You're obsessed.

“If you want to live in your Re zero is perfect bubble, have fun.”


Says the guy who rageblocked anyone who popped his “Rem bad” fantasy with actual evidence. At least my bubble is made of logic and canon. Yours popped the moment I asked for a single quote to back up your entire worldview.

“Continue to make takes that are ‘stupid’ or ‘in poor faith’ as you would like to do (which you not only do to me, but you do to many others as well).”


Yeah, because you all say the same things. And they’re wrong. You’re not special. You’re just the 57th person to post a half-baked anti-Rem take and expect no one to fire back. Sorry you got cooked so hard it followed you to another platform.

“Your logic and arguments have been proven wrong time and time again, yet you're too much of a chicken shit to admit it.”

Oh my god. You say this after blocking me and hiding in your hugbox? You are literally describing yourself. I’m still here, responding, line by line, in public. You’re the one that ran like a gremlin from sunlight.

“(ftr, i don't block people just because they disagree with me or i don't have any clap back. It's exhausting to counter all of your points since you type dozens of essays).”


Ah, so you do block people who counter your arguments too well and too thoroughly. Got it. Just say that next time. “He used logic and receipts and I panicked” would’ve saved us this whole rant.

“You act like this you have this 10/10 comprehension of the story, yet you and many re zero fanboys want to cry ‘Oh, you're misreading or you don't understand re zero’ whenever someone has a negative opinion on the story,”


Because 9 times out of 10, that’s exactly what’s happening. You people whine about mischaracterizations and then get mad when someone points out that you are stupidly wrong.

“you literally invade reddit posts and claim they hold no weight due to the fact they re based on hating something,”


Damn right I do. If your entire post is built around seething and you make no attempt to understand what you're criticizing, it deserves to be torn apart. That’s not “invading,” that’s quality control. Sorry if Reddit stopped being your safe space.

“(that doesn't even invalidate or make all criticisms of re zero illegitimate)”


Wow, groundbreaking insight. “Criticism isn’t inherently bad.” Nobody disagrees. The problem is their criticisms and your criticisms are, because they come from a place of irrational hatred, and I've proven MANY FUCKING TIMES how this leads to irrational and bad arguments, none of which received even an attempt of a response, hence conceding by omission.

If you keep microwaving the same garbage takes that get obliterated every time, don’t cry when people treat you like a clown. It’s not the idea of critique that’s the issue, it’s that yours suck.

“yet whenever someone says re zero isn't that good or when a certain character has certain issues and writing hiccups they notice, you want to pounce and shit on them,”


Because you’re not noticing issues, you’re inventing them. It’s always “bad writing” with zero explanation, surface-level misunderstandings, or full-on lies. I don’t “pounce.” I dissect. If I called out everything you got wrong, you’d need a second screen to keep up.

“and yet you complain why places to like that exist or that they're stupid or toxic.”


You mean places where seething losers who hate the story mass-block anyone who responds with facts? Yeah, I’ll complain. You don’t get to parade around with the intellectual equivalent of a wet napkin and call it “analysis” while whining when someone burns it on sight.

“Places like that wouldn't exist if you types of fans wouldn't be so hostile an vile over us having negative views on re zero”


Lmao this is the most victim-cosplay line of the whole post. No, places like that exist because people like you need echo chambers. You hate getting clapped in public debate, so you retreat to seethe circles where “Rem is bad” gets upvotes and nobody asks why. That’s not my fault. That’s cowardice.

“(not even flawed ones as people could re zero a 6 or 7 out of 10, and people flock towards them and get nasty)”


Buddy, if you rate it a 6 or 7 and post with actual reasoning, nobody cares. You’re not being crucified for your rating, you’re getting ratio’d for posting arguments so flimsy a light breeze would dismantle them. Don’t confuse cause and effect. The nastiness is a reaction to your nonsense.

“Ngl, you have me fooled into thinking you were somewhat a legit fan (and you did have some good points, ngl),”


You say this like it’s a burn, but I know what actually happened: you did take me seriously, got humiliated in public, and now you’re retroactively coping by pretending it was all smoke. That “ngl” is the most desperate reach for self-validation in this whole rant. You’re still bruised from getting destroyed last time. Stay mad.

“but you became pathetic, arrogant, pretentious, washed-up has-been who fumbled and is now a joke who nobody should seriously.”


Oh the irony. You wrote two full essays to someone you claim nobody should take seriously AND YPU KEPT REPEATING THE SAME ARGUMENTS I ALREADY DEBUNKED BECAUSE YOUR DELUSIONAL ASS HAD TO BLOCK THE TRUTH AS A COPING MECHANISM HSHAHSAHSAHASH. How much space do I take up in your head, exactly? You fled Reddit, now you keep going here on MAL, and keep constantly whining. And you still haven’t refuted a single point I made. Not one. You call me a joke, but you're here crying on a public forum while I sip coffee and dismantle your brain cells.

“I reward you with no sympathy, and may god have mercy on soul.”


Bro. I fact checked your points. I didn’t ask for a funeral eulogy. What kind of unmedicated Shakespeare villain exit line was that? “No sympathy, may God have mercy” what, is your goofy ass roleplaying as rn? Sit down.

You lost an anime argument and you conceded you were wrong, that's just it.

It is fucking hilarious how you expect people to take you seriously when you guillibly eat up the first thing that someone else randomly makes up about the person you are clearly butthurt about.

I already clarified it here and analyzed your discussion with acno:

1. I hated arc 7 rem way before I saw the post (even then their points are still valid), Hell, you said in arc 8 chapter 23, Rem showed a sign of maturity by allowing subaru to confess what she already knew about Louis Arneb instead, but you also ignore the fact that after that chapter, she doesn't apologize for keeping that a secret, (or apologizing for her treating towards him) she never thanks him for anything he did for her, and she even STILL doesn't call him by name (she calls him that person despite saying his name in arc 7 early on), makes petty and childish insults (like ram) and STILL didn't trust him and said she won't forgive him until he explains everything, despite holding nobody else accountable or having them explain what she wants to know. Where's the maturity in that? Shows a bit of maturity one minute, then acts immature the next.
Also, you claimed that she was distrusting Louis or had doubts about her. I reread the chapters, and none of what you said is true. Even in that were the case, she still treated Louis with compassion, and never ONCE acted uncomfortable or standoffish towards her. In arc 8 chapter 2, she was happy to reunite with Louis, and she was worried Subaru (or her words that man) had treated her poorly.
Also, also, it's funny how you said in arc 8 Rem was slowly trusting Subaru, when in later chapters (as I said before), she refuses to call him by name and still acts coldly towards to him. Sure, she has a few good moments with her saving subaru from todd, defending him from able and what not, but her overall vibe was still that she still saw him as someone untrustworthy. A few good moments don't erase those moments of her STILL doubting Subaru. I understand subaru was still keeping secrets from her, but subaru gave her what she wanted and let Louis live when he EVERY FUCKING REASON NOT TO and did it despite his friends and allies not supporting his decision. at that point, the LEAST she can do for him is give him her complete and total trust in him. Any and all doubt after that is inexcusable, regardless of what secrets he keeps from her

2. You did, and I'll admit you had some good points. However, not all of your points are valid. You're still trying to make it so that arc 7 rem is well written, when she isn't. You act as if being different automatically makes you correct, when even in the re zero sucks subreddit, people debunked you time and time again. You're just upset that your ego is fractured. You act as if re zero is perfect and everything about is well written, but in the end, there are so many holes, leaps of logic, and lack of realism that cause the story to fall on its face. If you want to lie to yourself and pretend it is, then you go right ahead. Lick Teppei's tool all you want. I'm sure he'll acknowledge your pathetic existence, and you two can go grab an ice cold beer at a bar somewhere. laughing and talking about how re zero is so great. Have fun.

Nope they are not, as proven in the essay that for some reason you decided to handwave dismiss, without responding to any specific points.

Megaman-is-hard1 said:

This right here is the reason why. She struggles to open up to Subaru because, even if she does value him and think better of him:



... as proven here, she still instictively has a strong form of rejection towards him.

A reckless man who smells like a murder.

She rationally knows he is not to be feared, but she instinctively cannot do much about i: Priscilla herself already talked about this when she said her last words to Rem.

As I said, none of this actions are on purpose.

And her jokes from ch 23 onwards are absurdly miniscule in relevance, not to say that they practically don't even exist. This is the most she has said to Subaru after arc 8 (arc 9 ch 7):



And she immediately apologized for it, asking Subaru to return safe and making an emphasis in how everything he does affects her heart.

Going back to ch 23:

Of course she wouldn't immediately change her ways after the events in that chapter, what the fuck are you expecting?

Rem had just had her entire world upended in Arc 8 Ch.23: she finally had to admit the person she felt closest to (Louis) is the very cause of her cursed condition. She went through an emotional breakdown: screaming, crying, lashing out in agony. And you expected her, in the immediate aftermath, to turn to Subaru and say “Oh, sorry and thank you” like nothing happened? That’s absurd. Rem is not a robot who can process a traumatic revelation and then politely thank Subaru for “everything he did” five minutes later. She was in no state for formalities or reflective apologies: her mind was consumed with Louis and the implications of Subaru’s confession. Demanding an apology or gratitude right there on the spot shows a complete lack of empathy on your part.

Of course she would try to keep defending the fact that Louis is innocent: for her she is basically an indefense braindead child, and she was one of the first contacts she had with the real world after waking up. To reject this notion she had been grappling to for so long isn't easy at all.

Do you seriously think she is doing this on purpose? That's insane.

Furthermore, what secret did Rem supposedly “keep” from Subaru that warrants apology? That she privately suspected Louis? Subaru already knew Rem was uneasy: her distrust of him was obvious throughout Arc 7. Rem had no duty to pull Subaru aside earlier and say, “By the way, I have a hunch this mute girl might be evil.” She had zero proof and was conflicted because Louis also appeared innocent and needed her. Rem’s priority was coping with her own confusion, not assuaging Subaru’s feelings. In fact, when Subaru mentions Rem breaking his fingers back in Arc 7, Rem does acknowledge she went too far: “About that time… I also went too far.”. That’s as close to an apology as one could expect in the heat of their confrontation – she clearly shows regret for hurting him. But you conveniently ignore this. You claim she “doesn’t apologize for her treatment” when she literally admits fault for injuring him. So your “ignored fact” is not a fact at all; it’s you ignoring the text to push a false narrative.
As for “never thanking him for anything he did for her”: again, context. Rem in Arc 7–8 is amnesiac and has been awake for, what, a few weeks at most? Subaru is essentially a stranger who oscillated between helping her and acting very suspicious (from her perspective). Why would she be gushing with gratitude toward someone she fundamentally distrusts for most of that period? Gratitude requires trust and understanding of the other person’s intentions. Rem had neither at first. She explicitly suspected Subaru might be a bad person early on: possibly a Witch Cultist or some enemy: so of course she’s not thanking him every time he helps. Importantly, once Rem does start realizing Subaru has been genuinely protecting and aiding her (by late Arc 8), her attitude softens considerably. The essay (which you claim to have “debunked”) even points out that Rem’s behavior shifts toward friendly teasing once she begins to trust him more. Demanding that Rem immediately thank Subaru “for everything” while she’s still sorting out who he even is to her is nonsense. It took Rem many loops in Arc 2 of the story to trust and thank Subaru that first time in canon: why would it be any faster when her memories and feelings are wiped clean? Your expectation isn’t logical; it’s entitlement, you want Rem to magically know everything Subaru’s done and feel indebted. Sorry, that’s not how human psychology (or good writing) works.

makes petty and childish insults (like ram)


Except she doesn't? As I said, any comical remark she makes barely counts as an insult. The most she said was calling Subaru a coward and she immediately apologized for it.

I think your definition of "abuse" and "childish insults" is insanely dishonest.

Megaman-is-hard1 said:
and STILL didn't trust him and said she won't forgive him until he explains everything, despite holding nobody else accountable


You are completely and utterly misrepresenting the scene, read the actual passage:



You do realize she said this while bearing a happy face right? You do realize her words are directly contradicting her expression?

She is not holding him accountable for not explaining this to her: her words did not represent what she truly seeked to communicate, and those words didn't even reach Subaru.

The entire framing is telling you that Rem isn't trying to blame Subaru for this but rather expressing his wish to know him better: that her harsh words due to her being instinctively wary of him, don't represent her true thoughts.

Media literacy is literally null on your take.

Megaman-is-hard1 said:
Where's the maturity in that? Shows a bit of maturity one minute, then acts immature the next.


Seriously, where are this examples of her acting remarkably immaturely? She even recognized in arc 9 how it would be immature of her to hold Spica to her own wishes and do not respect her wish to stay in the empire.

Not even trying to back up anything you say. That's insane.

Megaman-is-hard1 said:
Also, you claimed that she was distrusting Louis or had doubts about her. I reread the chapters, and none of what you said is true. Even in that were the case, she still treated Louis with compassion, and never ONCE acted uncomfortable or standoffish towards her. In arc 8 chapter 2, she was happy to reunite with Louis, and she was worried Subaru (or her words that man) had treated her poorly.


Now this is just flat-out wrong. Either you didn’t actually “reread” or you have atrocious reading comprehension. Rem explicitly admits she had suspicions about Louis. During Subaru’s confession in Arc 8 Ch.23, Rem shouts through her tears: “Even without you telling me, I could tell… Louis-chan had something to do with the memories I couldn’t remember, I knew that…!”. Like, she explicitly states it.

And she didn't act upon it because she didn't want to betray her mental image of Spica, which was an indefense girl with diminished cognitive capabilities. Imagine I told you your dear brother with amnesia and cognitive issues was a genocider and a mass killer.

You are already attached to him, so of course you'll do anything possible to reject this image: because it'll deeply hurt you.

(She knew Spica was sus, but still, what she saw was against that notion: the Spica she saw was a completely helpless child. Which is a thing with memory depraved Rem: because she lacks her memories, she guides herself more via instinct.)

The exact same with Rem: and btw, you didn't address any part of my explanation about how Rem's behavior makes sense, and in all likeliness that cannot occur, since you blocked me and hence cannot read my messages or posts.

And btw, where Rem's concerns about Spica wrong? She left her with a man who despised Spica, and as I said, even if her past was tainted she is now a defenseless child.

Why would that be bad writing? Seriously, you are working as hard as possible to fight common sense.

Megaman-is-hard1 said:
Also, also, it's funny how you said in arc 8 Rem was slowly trusting Subaru, when in later chapters (as I said before), she refuses to call him by name and still acts coldly towards to him.


That is quite literally false, ch 34 already proves she has opened up to him and arc 9 start too, where she wishes him a safe return.

And it is not as she refuses "just 'cause": not only do people around her at that point in time barely called Subaru by his name (specially since he was inflitrated as Natsumi), which is something stated as a reason for her behavior in the novel, but also the name itself of Subaru made her incredibly uncomfortable, since it was both awfully familiar and strange to her.

She, again, is not doing this on purpose. And from ch 23 onwards till arc 9 and beyond he calls him "that person" a grand total of 4 times.

So, still, you are misrepresenting the narrative.

Megaman-is-hard1 said:
Sure, she has a few good moments with her saving subaru from todd, defending him from able and what not, but her overall vibe was still that she still saw him as someone untrustworthy.


Not really, as I said, she rationally trusted him enough to leave Spica temporarily with him: she instinctively distrusted him because of his behavior and smell, and she has to deal with that constantly.

Megaman-is-hard1 said:
A few good moments don't erase those moments of her STILL doubting Subaru. I understand subaru was still keeping secrets from her, but subaru gave her what she wanted and let Louis live when he EVERY FUCKING REASON NOT TO


uhh, what the fuck do you mean? Spica is literally a defenseless child who cannot even speak, you seriously think they should put her off?

And it is not the secrets part what disturbs Rem: as I said, read, and think (most importantly) before babbling like a child 300 times.

Megaman-is-hard1 said:
at that point, the LEAST she can do for him is give him her complete and total trust in him. Any and all doubt after that is inexcusable, regardless of what secrets he keeps from her


As I said, your prediction is absolutely baseless because you are not factoring in Rem's internal circumstances: even in arc 9 start she is shown to trust Subaru a lot, but she is still dwelling with her unresolved internal conflict of not knowing who precisely he is. So she still acts akwardly towards him because their situation isn't any less akward. And Subaru isn't even helping her by telling her about her past, despite being the only one who knows about it.

Megaman-is-hard1 said:
You're still trying to make it so that arc 7 rem is well written, when she isn't.


Cool then, prove me wrong instead of ranting.

Megaman-is-hard1 said:
You act as if being different automatically makes you correct,


I didn't. Giving arguments you people cannot refute makes me correct.

Megaman-is-hard1 said:
when even in the re zero sucks subreddit, people debunked you time and time again.


"time and time again" perfect then, it seems you have a very good chunk of material that proves me wrong and I haven't addressed.

Fancy sharing it? Oh... wait. That's right: it doesn't exist, you are just coping.

Bring me at least one valid example of people debunking me and I'll give you 20 dollars. I swear it.

Megaman-is-hard1 said:
You're just upset that your ego is fractured.


Funny comming from someone who had to block precisely because they couldn't tolerate being held accountable for what they say...

Is it a "fractured ego issue" too?

Megaman-is-hard1 said:
You act as if re zero is perfect and everything about is well written


No, I act as if any and every discussion that takes place in r/ReZeroSucks is dishonest because the premise itself of the subreddit (that ReZeroSucks) is dishonest.

Thanks for the unfounded strawman though.

Megaman-is-hard1 said:
You act as if re zero is perfect and everything about is well written, but in the end, there are so many holes, leaps of logic, and lack of realism that cause the story to fall on its face.


If there were, and you were sure of that, you wouldn't mind people scrutinizing you because you would be completely sure about it.

Yet... you blocked people who scrutinized you.

So you are not really sure about the validity of what you are saying and you are not willing to defend it either. Considering that, what makes you believe anyone should take you seriously?

Megaman-is-hard1 said:
If you want to lie to yourself and pretend it is, then you go right ahead.


The arrogance is insane in this one. You are not even giving room for you being the one who dislikes the story instead of the story itself being the flawed thing... no "YOU ARE WRONG, YOU ARE LYING".

Do you seriously not realize you sound like a child?

Megaman-is-hard1 said:
Lick Teppei's tool all you want.


As I said, I couldn't care less about the author. His story being my second all time favorite doesn't mean I love him.

Can you please stop with the childish insults?

Megaman-is-hard1 said:
I'm sure he'll acknowledge your pathetic existence, and you two can go grab an ice cold beer at a bar somewhere.


This screams a lot "I have no arguments and I am butthurt, so I am going to lash out on irrelevant ad homs because that is the best I can do".

Thiz isn't re zero's fault, (completely) but it's super annoying when you criticize the story, people want to use the route of "lack of reading comprehension" for every complaint you make. Like they come off as the biggest know it alls, and they're so obsessed with defending the story like there's no tomorrow to the point where it seems as though there's not a bad thing to say about it. Even if one were to misinterpret something, the story should at least partially to blame for having certain parts of it being easy to miscontrude, especially since the anime cuts out a lot of scenes of even changes scenes outright due to the episode time limit. Not to mention, the novels rely TOO MUCH on side stories to explain what happens in the MAIN STORY, which is makes EASIER to interpret something a character does, how they're written, and their reasoning behind it.

I'm only on second season and I guess I'll watch it till the end to see what happens, but the absolutely most obnoxious and unrelatable MC in the history of anime is really making it borderline unwatchable. Most of the other characters are not really much better than the MC, either. The sob stories and "twists" that (I guess) are supposed to be moving are instead the epitomies of cringe, naivety and stupidity, in various proportions. There is nothing original about them, either.

There is no memorable music, the VA and visuals are average at best. There is just nothing making this anime stand out from the crowd, and to make it worse, it's isekai, so the cancer of anime in the first place.

How does this shit have an average score of over 8 is simply beyond me, I could die a thousand times and still not find a world where it deserves more than 6, and that's being very generous.

@Megaman-is-hard1 I mean, if you are participating in a subreddit that declares "r/ReZeroSucks" you deserve all the intellectual dishonesty accusations.

Specially since all your "flaws" are you just reaching.

Btw, do you know I made 2 posts debunking your ass?:

also, mental illness and pyschological damage are treated as a joke. The story rewards overly self sacrifical behavior (while constantly condemning it as well and treating self preservation over trying to suffer to appease your abusers as wrong). or borderline has speeches help subaru recover like it's a fucking shonen. It's not realistic. If the story wants to treat things like pyschological damage more seriously, then why are you having moments subaru recovers and gets back up despite falling into despair so easily? i doubt most humans are like that, and that ignores that three deaths would cause someone to go insane or become catatonic. It makes the damage of dying over and over seem like a joke since the story bombards subaru with so much trauma, but then the recovery process takes one episode, and he keeps going and succeeds.

not to mention, a lot of characters feel forced. Like, they're made for the sole purpose of bullying the mc and get away with it. It gets SUPER repetive and really makes the dama forced and annoying. Like, characters can't make basic common sense decisions and make themselves look like callious, dumbass nutjobs just so subaru can die and be traumatized, only for it to not matter since he bends over, takes it up it the ass, and gets rewarded for it, and all the horrible things done to him BARELY matter. Even then, the story randomly picks and chooses who he's allowed to hold grudges with despite the MAJORITY OF PEOPLE AROUND HIM FUCK HIM UP AND HURT HIM! How is that realistic? Realistically, he should a grudge with almost EVERYONE in the re zero verse, but nope. That would be realistic, human, and believable, and the only way for the story to progress is that he needs to not do that for certain characters the author chooses so his story can work. Not to mention, he picks which characters actions are unacceptable and who's worth saving, despite killing people who are not only have more sympathetic backstories than the people he saves, but the people he saves do more heinous shit than the people he kills and holds grudges with (cough cough puck)
