Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- (light novel)
| To me, it is one of the worst things I have ever seen. Season 1 that is, season 2 is just bad, which is leagues better than what season 1 is. I don’t care about the somewhat interesting ideas it presents if Every. Single. Character infuriates me in some way. They are either incredibly bland, poorly written, poorly implemented, or just unbelievably annoying. Subaru is all of those things, and we have to spend the entire anime with him. The writer will basically make Subaru whatever the writer wills because he get “mentally broken,” which is the only way the plot progresses at all. Anytime he overcame some obstacle it didn’t feel earned in the slightest because I can’t tell if he changed for the better, let alone changed at all. Also the checkpoint system is never explained at all. What makes a point in time a checkpoint? No one knows Also it’s so self indulgent with its depiction of death that it throws any idea of subtlety out the window, along with being extremely unpleasant to watch The visuals are decent, but they are the sprinkles a top this shit sundae of an anime. Wilhelm is literally the only good character in this anime, which proved to me that Reki Kawahara (lol) can write good characters, and we got that with Echidna in season 2. Well let’s see what the poll has to say |

| I enjoyed it mainly for the interesting world, and some great action. I like seeing antagonists win just like with Umineko so the resets make it extremely interesting to me. |

| You never even said how the characters are infuriating to you, poorly written, or how they are annoying. Another pointless thread. |

| Best Isekai in my opinion. And has some of the best character writing I've seen in anime. |

| "Is Re:Zero good?" Mainly for people who are into torture porn. |
| No. Main character is dumb for the sake of drama, then has random spurts of competence when the plot needs to move forward. All the characters are flat and unlikable, Rem is the most likable character in the cast, but still barely even a character. If it had half decent writing it would still be a generic fantasy JRPG harem isekai, but with an edgy coat of paint. Honestly Re:Zero is proof that anime fans will like anything if you throw gore and angst on screen. |
| Re Zero is a masterpiece (๑♡⌓♡๑) |
| Thread moved from Anime Discussion to Anime Series Discussion. |
| Yes. It's very good. Tho the latest season (S2 P2) felt like a clusterfuck at times and Subaru is a very meh protagonist, still it's a pretty solid show overall. 8/10. |
 |
| Re:Zero is easily the best japanese fiction. I don't think any other japanese fiction even close to this series level. I'm sorry for people who can't understand. Your favorite anime Neon Genesis Evangelion is inferior to Re:Zero in every way. "Writing, Characters, World, Lore, Art, Musics, Voice Acting, Story, Foreshadowings, Callbacks, Depth" everything i can write more. I wish people would look series more objectively instead "Subaru is crying therefore it is bad" lmao. |

| I just found the time loop thing incredibly irritating as we always reset back and the plot doesn't move forward, meanwhile there isn't a single likeable or interesting character to me. Story 0, characters 0. I watched about 11 episodes and felt like not a single thing worth of mentioning happened. It's like sitting on a merry-go-round but you can't get off. The scenery might look (kinda) nice but it gets boring fast and then you just want it to end. We are in the minority tho, most people enjoyed it for some reason. |

| Yeah it's pretty good. I'm not the biggest fan of it but I will acknowledge its writing and characters which I believe to be pretty high-tier. While I didn't personally enjoy it that much, you gotta give credit where credit is due. Especially in season 2 where whitefox tried to fit as much story as possible within the run time they were given. They cut off the op and ed in nearly every episode, using them sparingly, and extended the run time per episode to 30 minutes each. I didn't read the light novels or manga or whatever since again, I'm not that interested in it, but from what we got I'd say it was also very well paced. Might drag a little at times if the dialogue doesn't compel you, and maybe the ending events of the arc that was covered in S2 felt maybe a bit rushed. But really there's not much else for me to nitpick other than simply, I didn't personally enjoy it as much as most others. My own rating for all S1, S2P1 and S2P2 were 4/10's. "Objectively" speaking though, I'd give them all 9/10's. Maybe even a 10/10 for season 2 part 2. |

| Are you secretly Regulus? What's with the rant? It's kinda your loss anyway for not liking it, and waste of time for grieving over entertainment. But still, it would have been all okay if you moved on, because all things are not for everyone to enjoy. But the fact that you went out of your way to construct a brain-dead thread shows how much this has affected you. All your problems are so personal, unoriginally inspired, artificial and hyperbolist, it just feels like a rookie club football player aggressively criticizing Messi. Sigh. Try better next time. Well you can't return by death, but can return by thread! Basically Re:Zero discussions section to it's haters:  |

| It's probably the only very popular isekai that I don't like, so no. |
 |
| Despite this being meant to congregate Re:Zero haters, it still is voted good. This should be enough of an answer. |
 |
| Don't know everything past s1 just felt pointless to me. |
| Re:Zero is the best japanese fiction without competition. I debunked so many haters arguments over years and my conclusion only people hate Re:Zero is the people who didn't understand it. |

They are infuriating because they infuriate, how can you not see the elegant logic in that. repeat for poorly written and annoying and you have a water tight logical argument. |

@Okeanix starts off good but eventually derails because the story doesn't have an ending and will wander endlessly.
| @DEMSpirit Except the fact what you wrote is completely false, and the story never derails until Arc 7, which is Episode 100 of the anime in the future. Yet, even that is very good. The story is not abandoned or getting milked; it's already planned from start to finish. You get 1 LN volume every 3 months, and the series will end at Arc 12. So how does it wander endlessly when you know exactly which arc is going to end, and can be sure it will end one day, since the author has never stopped releasing volumes in the last 10 years? |

@Okeanix but re zero never really had a central villain or antagonist as well as final that they built from the beginning. Even in the re zero fandom can't even decide who the main villain was. This hampers foreshadowing and reduces rewatchability. It also over relies on NSFW moments and Subaru suffering and struggles to make change tones for the audience.
Kind of why yugioh gx's story is considered weaker than yugioh. Yugioh had a clear end goal from the beginning. While gx had to change the villain every season.

| @DEMSpirit Re:Zero features main antagonists who often contradict each other, leaving viewers uncertain about the eventual outcome. Currently, potential main villains include Pandora, Satella, and Echidna. The series doesn't require a single main antagonist throughout its duration, as it diverges from typical shounen tropes. Furthermore, I disagree with the notion that Re:Zero lacks foreshadowing and rewatch value. In fact, it boasts some of the most intricate foreshadowing and rewatchability among all anime. Regarding your mention of "NSFW" moments in Re:Zero, I must clarify that there are no such instances in the series |

@Okeanix I mean rn it is hard to find a show that has more critical acclaim and compete with re zero. Kny is criticized for its story.
Jjk fell off after shibuya. Konosuba is getting bashed hard for a mediocre season 3 and flop spinoff. Tensura is getting bashed hard after the poorly reviewed movie and lackluster season 3. Overlord is seen as a one trick pony. Date a live requires several rewatches and to watch the final season to see it as a masterpiece.
Re zero so far pretty much did everything right. If I have a favorite show, I do not want it to air in the same season as re zero. More than likely re zero will won and rem best girl

| @SpiderMiles3523 Re:Zero's next 100 episodes (by taking source material as example) will be also masterpiece and even better than first two seasons, it never fells off. |

@Okeanix FYI, full light novel adaptations never happen. Someone mentioned how re zero is losing money on ln sales and its new gacha looks doa. It will just get tossed aside like index.
Dal gacha nearly ran as long as danmemo and they were only 1 cours/movie from full adaptation but goodshow's financial trouble caught up.

| @SpiderMiles3523 LN sales does not affect Anime Production, Re:Zero merchandise sale profit is higher than any top manga. Re:Zero not have any money issue, upcoming season is 3-Cour (36-39 Eps) first isekai with 3-Cour season. |

@Okeanix merchandise profit is pure bs. It didn't work for chainsaw man where despite power and makima figures everywhere, they still fell under due to blu ray.
Kurumi tokisaki has as much scales as rem. But spirit pledge revamp failing affected their production.
Anything can go wrong and game over.

| @SpiderMiles3523 Shaula merchandise alone can fund Season 4 or people who want to see Rem. You can't compare CSM to Re:Zero, Re:Zero merchandise sales are much higher than CSM. Characters like Power is nothing compared to Rem. Also CSM getting movie even after flop, then it will get Second Season. |
