| It's been years since I saw an anime so good it made me want to read the original material. Great start, can't wait to see the rest animated. I'm off to read the light novel *-* |
| Hmm. So, how the hell am i supposed to add this to my list? Add only 1 episode? Even though it's 2 full time part?! Or add 2, though it's named 1A and 1B?! Or this will be considered a prequel to the show or what?! I honestly have no idea... |
| For a series of this genre (dropped into a fantasy world with a girl) I've never been this impressed. (Or maybe it's because I expected this to be more generic shit.) It's dark, morbid, and the two MCs are far from annoying. Although the girl can fall into a few tropes, she doesn't feel like a bundle of fanservice, and the main guy pokes fun at the genre while having a few tricks up his sleeve (literally) to make him interesting enough. He's not super strong or blessed, but not wimpy either (somehow beating up those muggers lol). And ofc MC already died twice in the first episode in a violent manner. When your superpower is only activated by your death, you know what's going to come lmao. Although I hope it doesn't get so gory that it distracts from the plot. The gut pulling near the end had me cringing a bit. Didn't expect this series to have promise, so hopefully it continues to impress. |

| Now that's what I wanted to see! Good visuals and voice acting, plot seems interesting, although it is yet another "NEET transported into fantasy world". Strong contender for the title of Anime of the Season. |

The first episode is an one hour special it's just that CR split it into two because of whatever reason. |
| This was so good. I really liked the MC and the whole thing actually. But I was so disappointed after it happened again. I was expecting a story where he'll be discovering the world and so on but we're here with this kind of anime again... Even though it got so potential I have mixed feelings about this. I'll continue on watching it and see for myself how the story will go on. I'll just hope it will surprise me. |
 |
| It's my fault for getting overhyped but I'm still dissapointed. Animation wasn't very good, the drawings in the manga looked way better, it didn't run very smooth either. The humor was meh' and the supposed gore wasn't very effectual at all, I couldn't make out if it was censored or not -lighting wasn't the best. I like the main character design (except for big Puck) but all the lizard-pedestrians simply look silly. Well, I like the premise and presentation isn't everything. It might very well get better from here on out. If I had rated this two-part episode I would give it a 6/10 -it was "fine". |
 |
| I admit I didn't start to 'get it' until episode 1B started and then it was getting more interesting by the minute. I'm curious what structure the show will take, if it will just be repeating deaths or not. Pacing was slower than what I'm used to so I'm glad it'll be 2-cour to really flesh out the characters and plot. Gore/violence was very tame so far so I hope it ramps up the despair in the future. |
| Would've dropped it at Part A if I didn't read the synopsis before. Part B was great. |
 |
| Pretty good and interesting so far. Don't like how the main character somehow doesn't really care where he is or how he got there, though. |
| Wow that was really good. They hooked me in. I was actually going to skip this one, but gave it a try because my friend said he would watch it. Glad I did. |

The first episode is an one hour special it's just that CR split it into two because of whatever reason. Yeah, but let's assume the show will be 12 episodes long. Let's assume they are set to the usual, 24 mins / episode. That means the series will will miss 1 episode length when completed. Not that it is a life and death situation. But i like to keep my list clean, well organized. |
| THIS IS EXACTLY WHY U PEOPLE SHOULDNT JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER this one is going to be a crazy ride |
| Yikes, I knew death was coming but I wasn't expecting gore. Definitely very interesting though. Not sure if I love or hate Subaru. |
| Really liking the whole relive the day type of scenario. Got me interested in whats going on. Can't wait to see how this plays out. |
 |
| Try and error anime again. Reminds me of Steins Gate and all the others where main character tries to fit all his previus experience in one to find a solution and needs too many episodes and you keep watch the same stuff over and over again... And the trailer looked so good. |
| I shouldn't have read the Synopsis.... Altough without reading it i doubt i would've watched this lel xD |
| It's kind of hilarious how many people are being deceived by the first half of the episode, it's also kind of sad because it turns people off from what could be an amazing series. |
 |
| Many people are comparing this to ERASED and Steins;Gate, but it really reminds me a lot more of "All You Need is Kill" aka "Edge of Tomorrow", but with a fantasy setting instead of a sci-fi one. Unlike the other two, in Edge of Tomorrow, the hero actually has to die in order to keep going back in time. Sometimes he does it on purpose, but most times it's by pure circumstance. |
| Wow , that's some mix of comedy , darkness , fantasy , and mystery . At first , it gave me some konosuba vibe with Subaru being summoned to a parallel world and his funny interactions with satella ( who is cute btw ) and her spirit . Next , it turned all dark and gorey and i was like "damn" . I have to say i'm not a fan of time-traveling or going back in time . Actually , I don't like such things ( never bothered with steins gate or erased ) , but I'm a sucker for fantasy worlds and I like the mc so far , kinda funny . So this might be an exception for me . Animation is good , not bothered by the bits of CGI . Btw how did she manage to cut him after he dodged ? She said she managed to open his belly when they passed by one another ? Like some kind of invisible attack we didn't see ? |
 |
| Pretty good anime so far.. :D |

Oh that's actually one of the better comparisons I've seen, and it does follow Edge of Tomorrow's time element more than S;G or Erased. Kudos. |
| Big Order (TV):great anime or greatest anime? |
| Damn! This anime should probably have a horror tag. I'm really into it and can't wait for next week's episode. Hope Sabaru can save everyone. |
| So Re:Zero might by the anime of the season for me, even beating JoJo, My Hero Academia, and Lost Village. Like holy shit I thought Part A ended on a cliff hanger but Part B was just insane! It takes the transported to a fantasy world elements, spices a bit of Akame Ga Kill and Stein;s Gate together, and you got a freaking insane package. Very smart move to upload two episodes at once and get people invested in the plot and characters. |
 |
| Part A and Part B huh? That's odd, but I actually like it. If we're getting two episodes a week, that's fine by me. But I am a little confused, if this show is confirmed for 26 episodes or whatever, does that mean we'll be getting 52 episodes in total with both sides? Or does one side = one episode? Confusing. Either way, I actually like the going back in time and re-doing things. Hopefully Subaru will catch on. Nice balance between comedy and serious battles. Characters were fun, especially Subaru. Looking forward to seeing what happens next. |

| This was surprising to say the least. Can't tell you how glad I am that we aren't going to be getting the typical light-hearted rpg fantasy theme/setting as we so often do. Will definitely be watchiing the coming episodes. It's also nice to know that this is going to be a 2-cour. |
Happy Halloween  |
| Damn this was a good start. I honestly picked this show because Gorou Sessha was directing it but this turned out to be completely different than what I was expecting. The show is pretty similar to "All You Need Is Kill" in regards to the time reset but I like where it is going so far. Melvin117 said: Kinda worried when I know Whitefox is the one animating it and was hoping for A1. Whitefox is just a studio. You should be more worried about the staff which in this case the show seems to be in really good hands. |

| Very impressive and interesting first episode, I'm excited to see where this goes. Re:zero is probably gonna be one of the big hits this season if they keep this kind of quality going. |
same af lmao u mad bro 3spooki 5 me lelll  |
| Great start for the spring anime |
| Pretty decent. I am expecting a groundhog day fantasy LN with a pretty rough quality (good idea and some good moments, but with flaws and unrefined parts at times), and the premiere seems to be in line with my expectation. I must pick out that he is supossed to be very genre savy, but he's totally slow at noticing not only one but even two time loops, one of the staple plot element in many stories/games. I guess personally experiencing death felt very different compared to simply reading about it, eh? I'm also kinda worried that this will dive into "depressing and edgy just because" territory (especially by how the fans seems to hype some elements of it), but I'll give it a chance. Especially since groundhog day is one of my favourite trope. P.S Don't worry about people that dropping it in 1st part, people who don't notice that it's obviously being cut in the middle do not deserve your attention. People will come if the show slowly gets hype, anyway. (I remember seeing people dropping S;G because they don't understand anything at all in the 1st eps; compared to it this dual episode is very easy to understand.) |

Oh your comment gives me hope after I've facepalmed myself through my window numerous times. People really judge a book by its cover and not only that. They watch half of it and stop, just stop. I know what's happening and it will definitely pick up A LOT. Part 1A basically doesn't happen anymore and it's more 1B. Guess we will have to be patient until people stop being so fast to judge and give this a honest shot. |
Heartman said: I only wonder how many times he can do that before things start going south and suddenly he can't 'reload from a checkpoint'.I'm probably more bothered than I should be at the fact that MC is a supposed gamer and he didn't pick up on the fact that he was "reloading from a checkpoint". |

| I thought this was pretty damn awesome. It felt like a mix of KonoSuba and Erased and it was glorious. It got dark quick in the 2nd part and I loved it. Cannot wait to see more |

 "Your sight, my delight. Will you marry me?" |
Tokoya said: This series is 2 cour that is, it's going to have 24 episodes That's not what i meant. But if the first episode is split, and mal lists it as 24 mins / episode, and it will have 24 episodes. That's 24x24 mins. But we have 25x24 mins. I know it is a speculation, but i think i've seen something similar before. The first episode was a lot longer than the rest but the show was still listed as 24 mins / episode. Think you've missed the part of my quote you were answering. But that was just an assumption. It is irrelevant how long the series All im worryed about is that, i will probably can't add it to my list properly. |
