apparently they nerfed the people who didn't saw more than 2 episodes (1/5 of the show) and also some bots....this applied to all other anime aswell

Is it some sort of hater's doing to downgrade the rating? It kinda smell fishy. I mean, I don't care about rating, but it really concerns me how MAL rating system has been flawed ever since.

I don't think "hater" is the keyword here but more like the people who didn't enjoyed it that much and stopped watching it or didn't continued after they dropped a rating lower than 8...i mean even before this change there weren't THAT many lower marks to begin with but they were indeed close to 20k people (around 18k) and many lower/higher marks were nerfed by this...in the end it resulted in this...probably after the last episode the score will be more clear.

It will lower down eventually since most of 9 and 10 is just from the fans and mal also have the system of get rid of the people who complete it before the anime finish airing but I just hope this time won't have any major change like season 1 did

Another day, another same mistake from MAL. They tagged it as "Finished Airing" before it actually finished, and when a show tagged as finished only valid votes are the ones that from people who watched 1/5 of the anime. That's why score suddenly increased, it happens with most of the shows, nothing new here.

i thought cour 2 reaching a 9 was a pipe dream but cour 1 being this high definitely raises the possibility of it,especially with how great cour 2 will be.

It's not about the production value though, if you mean animation it won't affect the score much, but if they fix the pacing a little bit it will definitely affect the score a bit, although just the sheer amount of amazing revelations, twists and emotional payoff coming in Cour 2 should be enough to bump it to 9, at least during airing. Unlike Part 1, Part 2 won't have any boring episodes, as I've seen many people keep complaining season 2 is "boring" and a "snoozefest", they're just really impatient, I feel like they have not heard what setup and payoff even means.

I think the directing choices and production quality definitely affect on how the content is received by the audience. Shows like Demon Slayer, Your Name are few examples.

So far this cour hasn't really been as effective in conveying all the emotions from the source material compared to what Season 1 did with its production quality and direction.

Few episodes were good (Ep4 for example), but mostly very 'average' otherwise.

I understand it would be hard for the director to manage stuff when everyone's working from their home, but I don't feel that's enough of an excuse for the downgrade in visual quality. Few design choices (like sharper eyes) feel like intentional stylistic changes made to resemble the LN art.

And then Cour2 really demands good visuals and directing. The character expressions and body language need to convey those emotions effectively.

Anyway, if they manage to maintain the same level of quality as Eps 4,8,11 throughout Cour2 (with proper pacing ofc) then I will be satisfied.

Season 3 is not the main point. You should put more attention to part 2 like if they don't even have any improvement despite the delay then yeah the moments we are looking forward will be end up having rip title inside

I wish every episode be superbly animated. There are too many scenes I am looking forward to. Would span almost every episode actually.


Doves, Swans, Dragons, Angels, Demons, Cars flying all in one scene.


lol. Even I feel they kinda overdid Ep18. Though I won't mind if they do the same with the Taste of Life episode :p

They'll have to be more creative because it's inside the tomb so Doves etc could feel weird. lol.

Fall, fall fall score.


Contrary to the expectations, the last episode had not a cliffhanger of hell (but Otto and Pastrache overindulging) and it disappointed the audience.

It probably will fall like 0.10 yet and stay around 8.60, not enough to keep in the top 50 overall highest ranked tittles in MAL.

What, anyway, is impressive for a first HALF of an Arc, where the climax is all in the second part.

Yeah, I agreed with @Rob7 . To be honest, this show doesn't deserve to be in high score; however, I can see the similar case/pattern between AoT and Re:Zero in terms of critical sense. At least, that's what Light Novel rises the peak as what AoT manga reaches it.

All you people posting in this thread. I'm only here because in the only seemingly official thread for the latest season episode links here. I don't know why, and I don't care. But after reading the comments in this thread I feel like Asta from BC at a noble party listening in to conversations. What the hell is this thread! And why is there no proper thread to post in for the episode. It was brilliant and set up so much story!

There are separate threads to discuss each episode.

Episode 39 (latest episode): https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1887022


What the hell is this thread!

People (mostly novel readers) rambling on random stuff pertaining to rezero anime in general.

I have been loving re zero, probably the best isekai show. But something just feels stupid about this show,I was just wondering, why are nearly all the major characters female? It is very annoying.

What’s wrong with “all the major characters female”? Is this some sort of sexist joke or something?

LOL. How is it sexist? Moreover surrounding the male MC with mostly female characters is what you call female objectification. Isn't it logical to have both males and females? Why does it have to be a harem? That is all I dislike about this show.

That isn't true. Perhaps you felt so for a brief moment because of the seven witches. But they are not going to be of much focus this season.

We have critical male characters, like Otto, Garfiel, Roswaal, etc., who will be getting a fair share of the spotlight.

In Season 1, we had Reinhard, Wilheim, Julius, Ricardo, and many others. Though I'd agree they didn't get a lot of focus.

Season2 Part2 will have an almost equal focus on both male and female cast. And MC will be surrounded by more male characters than females.

Furthermore, as far as I remember reading the novel, Season 3 will have a larger male cast size than female.


On a similar note; future Emilia is surrounded by many male characters (Subaru, Otto, Garfiel, Roswaal, Regulus, Reinhard, Reid, Julius, etc.). And atleast three male characters have shown some interest in Emilia. Is that male objectification? :P

One might as well call ReZero a reverse harem in that context. xD

I'm just kidding. The point is, ReZero has a large cast of characters (both male and female). It is not entirely possible to segregate them so that females are only surrounded by females and vice-versa.

Is it me or have you also ignored some male characters that are as major as those “all” female characters? Female objectification isn’t the main intention here in regards to the story, but it is to explore their background, goals, and desires on each of them.

Like... you have Garfiel, Otto, and Roswaal who are currently considered as major MALE characters. Others like Reinhard, Julius, Wilhelm, and Felix (and maybe others as well) can be also relevant on the later arcs too.

Seriously, why is it matter to have a numerical ratio between male and female?

Not ALL Female characters can be major, but they can be worthy to explore each of their characteristic too. Same goes for the male ones too.
