Season 2 of Re:Zero was a real doozie. It had a plethora of issues from its writing, focus on characters that don’t matter, cringe dialogue, bloated dialogue, and loaded exposition. Who actually cares about Emilia? Doesn’t matter if she’s “well written” if her character is as intriguing as CARDBOARD. Not to mention Subaru is still a crybaby loser.

What are things you find flawed about this series?

Yeah Season 2 was a flawed adaptation for sure. I remember keeping up with the TranslationChicken webnovel releases and man that was so fire. Definitely felt underwhelming when the actual anime came out.
Other than that I do have a big gripe with Tappei's character habits. Specifically in some later arcs there is just way too many 'loli-like' characters for me to take the story seriously.
I also think the other characters aren't all that interesting, imo Subaru is the driving force for the entire show and is the only character that I feel actually has had development.
That's not to say I dislike Re:Zero, it's in my favourites after all, but it definitely has issues.

Hey question for you, if you died 100 million times and see everyone you know die 100 million times would you cry? Bc that’s the stuff Suburu goes through bc ig the author hates him idk. Everything else was good although could’ve gone more in-depth with some stuff.

I thought season two was better that's just me and none of the side characters felt irrelevant. I loved Garfeil, Otto, Emilia, and Ram. Roswaal was such an interesting character. The only one I didn't like was prob the pink haired loli I forgot her name, she was kind of confusing to me. Subaru became one of my favorite protagonists after this season as well. I also really liked the backstory given to Emilia and Betelgeuse. Sure it was slower, but I think that's what made it better as well. Season three will probably be more like season one from what I'm guessing, which is not a problem at all but I will miss what season two had. Hopefully we see more Rem.
As Long as the Sun, the moon, and the Earth exist, everything will be alright.

I personally don’t think season 2 could be better written than it was, season 2 part 2 is the very reason it will never leave my top tens, maybe you’re referring to the slow pacing of season 1, but that was world building. Also Emilia’s existence is the most important factor of rezero, it would be wrong to not care about her, if you’re mind is smart enough you can put 2 and 2 together and figure out why season 2 was a masterpiece, rezero is not an anime for those who can’t figure out mysteries, the anime as a whole is a giant mystery series. You’re supposed to think beyond what you see

It’s not supposed to do romance well, reasons and will is important as everyone has left struggling alone, naturally love heals because that’s realistic but the point of the series is the whole thing is a mystery, it’s not supposed to be your usual romance because everyone has too much on their mind to really give it, but they at least have someone they are willing to push through the nightmares for.

Almost every romantic relationship in this show is x character loves x and would die for them/ go crazy for them.

ex, Subaru for Emilia, Puck for Emilia, Ram for Roswall, Roswall for echidna, Felix for Crusch, Rem for Subaru, Garfield for Ram, Petelgeuse for the witch of envy, the witch of envy for Subaru, Beatrice for Her mother then Subaru. Even Petra for Subaru to an extent.

Individually these relationships work to varying extents but it's hard to ignore literally every romantic pairing boiling down to the same fundamental rule. Just wish there was variance.

Dislike? yeah, I dislike it because it needs more seasons so I can properly enjoy it but the adaptation should be smooth like the previous ones.
It's not that I dislike this genre but... to add unnecessary fan services to/in/for heroines
and ultimately destroys her character and personality; their purity tarnished because of it,
is the only thing I hope to not happen to them. For that sole purity is my fan service.

There’s one more for this and that’s Emilia for Subaru, sure it’s not your traditional romance and you can’t ignore it (romance is my favorite genre) but the pairings exist for long term end goal while giving them a reason to push on with death around every corner. Later in the series will come heart break and decisions, as Rem has been rejected as well as Ram, due to the fact Subaru has a destiny and Roswaal’s family line is all the same person even the females, the memories are handed down as a continuation so he forever goes for the one who gave him will and life. Beatrice has a spirit contract with Subaru as his sidekick so that one is understandable, since he’s that person for her, it’s not romantic though. Otto and Subaru for each other (non romantic) as well as Shauna and she wants to be his sidekick and partner in crime. All have valid reasons, the end goal with this pairings will happen in the future but for now they are sources of will power.

My only gripe with it is that sometimes the LN changes WN stuff for the worse, and its the LN that gets adapted. Also, I absolutely hate how much stuff was cut out from the anime due to time constraints. Such a thing should've been ignored for a dialogue heavy anime like this.

The only thing I didn’t like in this entire show was just how difficult to watch that one six-episode stretch in season 1 was. And maybe too much time on Beatrice backstory in season 2 since she’s kind of boring. Other than that I think this show is about as good as it gets.

It's a travesty of tragic, a gallimaufry of rancid Isekai sewer awash the with most egregious and rebarbative characters, the power system is extremely jejune and infantile, Antagonists are so banal that even MHA appears sublime in comparison; the maudlin tragedy is shoehorned into this tacky facile plot

Your rating system is shit along with the fact that you’re trying to use complex language to seem smart. You talk shit on a show you’ve “dropped” yet watched all the episodes on. Good job troll. Bravo, nothing you’ve watched went over a 6 while scrolling through your Mal anime. Didn’t check manga because a majority of actual good manga hasn’t been adapted or fully so what’s the point?

Ok never mind I’m the dumb ass because you sorted “garbage” in dropped even when you finished it instead of just giving it a rating, and keeping it in complete like a normal person but that’s your way of sorting. Then your favorites in on hold. So you’re telling me Sonny Boy, like yeah it was good but confusing as shit, so tell me every single detail fully explained. It just seems like you’re trying to be philosophical and all of that but you just come off as someone who is trying so hard to be intellectual about “writing”. At of all the good you’ve watched, there is one that you gave a lower score than March comes in like lion and that’s Houseki no Kuni. Maybe the anime didn’t adapt enough, I don’t remember enough but the overall story is far better.

You're probably right, I rather watch animes with little to no comedy in them though since I prefer dark, mature & serious animes. I dislike anime with crappy comedy so if they have crappy comedy like Demon Slayer and FMAB, I rather have those anime with no comedy at all.

But if the comedy is awesome like One Punch Man (S1) or Full Metal Panic? Fumoffu then hell yeah, I don't mind the comedy at all. I also loved the comedy in Chainsaw Man, those are my types of comedies.
