Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- (light novel)
| With all the hype that surrounded this show, and how it's still talked about even after the season ended, I am served my disappointed so far. Does this show ever get good? I'm on episode 10 and if I'm not trying not to fall asleep from boredom, I'm thinking "Damn this show is edgy af". Subaru is one of the most annoying characters I've ever seen and Rem and Ram get on my nerves. Beatrice, Puck and Emilia are the only characters I even like... I'm sick of watching the same episodes over again just with different endings. If I'm on episode 10 and don't like it, should I just drop it? Will it ever get better? |

| you either like it or hate it, there really isnt any inbetween, i personally liked it alot, and it starts getting pretty good after ep 15 |
 |
| The plot of Re:Zero, at least as far as this anime adaptation is concerned (I haven't read the LN), follows a varied-linear progression. Subaru knows there's a way out, we know he'll die more than a few times in the process, and the satisfaction mostly comes when he gets there. That's not gonna change. The short of the matter is that it does get better. I think this is one of the most satisfying series I've watched, but if your opinion of the series is so low already, maybe it won't get much better for you. Since you're so close, I would recommend at least finishing up ep. 11 to determine whether you want to keep with the series. And as a bottom line matter I'd recommend you to finish the series--lots of people have given resounding approval for it for good reason, and frankly the anime series released this season probably won't come close to touching Re:Zero's quality, so might as well. |
| @OneNaughtyBear I'm on episode 10 and if I'm not trying not to fall asleep from boredom, I'm thinking "Damn this show is edgy af". So "edgy af" = "boring"? I'm actually impressed, I would have never thought I'd hear this...The show will get even more "edgy" later, even if I'm not certain I know what "edgy" means for the average MAL user anymore. In Arc 3, everything starts growing in magnitude. That means, you'll see more Subaru going bonkers, more gruesome deaths and just a ton of deaths in general, and of course, a lot of characters not being helpful for his situation until the very end. Subaru is one of the most annoying characters I've ever seen Huh, a more humanlike character unlike all those shounen MCs is annoying? He starts to get used to the prospect of dying a ton later on and starts to use his head more, but his overall behavior does not change since that's his usual facade, the mask he keeps for the people around him. I think that should have been obvious that he's acting it out, unless you think the "real" him is actually annoying, then I have nothing more to say.and Rem and Ram get on my nerves. Is it because they think Subaru is suspicious? I guess that's acceptable... You'd just be one of those guys that gets literally backstabbed by the bum you thought will never steal from your house. I'm sick of watching the same episodes over again just with different endings. Now this is your fault completely. The synopsis was pretty clear that "history inexplicably repeats itself" after he dies.If I'm on episode 10 and don't like it, should I just drop it? Will it ever get better? You seem to dislike the very core of this Anime, I'm not certain you'll ever like it, no matter what they do to it. |

| I will say this, I'm not finished the anime yet and I agree with you 100%. However, I just finished episode 15 and holy shit for the first time my jaw is on the floor. Don't know if it's a sign of things to come, but the episode is 10/10. I would say once you finish 15, if you still give no fucks, then drop it |
| no , it becomes more garbage after ep 15 |

Well Subaru will become x10 more annoying for you in the next few episodes.However,try to never drop a show because it might become interesting for you later. |
| The closer you get to the light,the greater your shadow becomes. |
| You liked Clannad, Erased, and 5cm/sec so you'll probably like the second half of this show |
| "I like young-girl sexual creations, Lolicon is just one hobby of my many hobbies," he says. I ask what his wife, standing nearby, thinks of his "hobby". "She probably thinks no problem," he replies. "Because she loves young boys sexually interacting with each other." |
| What are you talking about? the first ten episodes are the bests. |

People who are humanlike can be annoying (especially in the first two arcs, which seemed to be an intentional part of his character.

| People who put MAL stats in their sigs are losers lol |
| @Psyotic Yes. People who are humanlike can be annoying (especially in the first two arcs, which seemed to be an intentional part of his character. Here, let me explain since you're missing the point again. What I'm talking about is justification here. Subaru's character is realistic and justified. Finding that annoying is fine, but using that as a reason to say it's "bad" is a whole different matter.His acting out is annoying. Saying he's different on the inside does not excuse this. See above. |

Immahnoob said: Subaru's character is realistic and justified. Finding that annoying is fine, but using that as a reason to say it's "bad" is a whole different matter. Subaru could be realistic and justified without being annoying. If someone thinks that an annoying character is bad to them, I don't really see what the issue is. |
| People who put MAL stats in their sigs are losers lol |
| I say just drop it. You're already right under the half way point and the show doesn't click with you. Even if it gets better for you, it still may not even be worth it at this point. Don't force yourself to finish something you don't like. |
Psyotic said: I don't understand why you have to be so dense... It's as if you don't understand I'm poking at the OP. Subaru could be realistic and justified without being annoying. If someone thinks that an annoying character is bad to them, I don't really see what the issue is. |

| About the White While arc it gets really good thanks to motherfucking Willhelm. |
How is Subaru anywhere near OP? Outside his reset ability and his own wits, he really doesn't have much to arm himself with. The alternate timelines aren't sloppy either. For the most part, they're able to avoid reshowing us scenes we would otherwise have to rewatch while introducing smaller bits of new information everytime. |

| the only reason I could think of is to see more beatrice but her presence in the show becomes more barren over time also, I find it funny how you find rezero 'edgy af' when you have a tokyo ghoul avatar |

Despite there being a few scenes of this show that screams edgy louder than both series of TG combined ever could. Like episode 15 ending. But I'm still glad you did something that's good for the soul that MAL corrupted :P |

| Just read the doujins and forget about this show. |
| No.. this show actually gets worse. Too much forced drama, unnecessary episodes, bullshit writing, and subaru gets through too much fucking things. |

 Oshii is probably the only director that loves dogs. He thinks he's a dog himself. That's right, its slime! It will dissolve your clothing slowly before my eyes! |
| I mean, it gets worse, if that's what you're looking for. That, being masochistic pleasure (from how bad it is). |
| Be thankful for the wisdom granted to you. |
zannet_t said: The last statement is pretty solid. I don't see anything this season that looks decent, except that one sports anime that I don't watch. Rezero is probably somewhat to a degree what you would call edgy, but I don't want to say that because it makes me think of SAO which it is not. It's hard to explain without spoilers, but later in the series Subaru comes to terms with everything and that is the big turning point for the show. The plot of Re:Zero, at least as far as this anime adaptation is concerned (I haven't read the LN), follows a varied-linear progression. Subaru knows there's a way out, we know he'll die more than a few times in the process, and the satisfaction mostly comes when he gets there. That's not gonna change. Frankly the anime series released this season probably won't come close to touching Re:Zero's quality, so might as well. I know how you feel, I hate the helpless characters in anime, but I feel like it's necessary to show that state of mind that they are in. I know you posted this weeks ago and have either finished the show, or dropped it, but its really great. |

If Rem and Ram are getting on your nerves you should drop it. The anime focuses on them more after episode 10 and less on the characters you like. |

| Episode 15 (or was it 16...?) is the best episode for that season. Other than that no it doesn't |
