Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- (light novel)
| What are you specifically lost on? Characters, world, or just what is going on? Re:zero can get quickly confusing if you don't understand all the metaphors or visuals. Some of it takes nuance and observation to understand, since some scenes can be really subtle, while others extremely emotionally charged. |
| You can ask what you don't understand. That is the very first reason why discussion threads solely exist for. |
| You can't understand everything. Some things that are confusing might be explained later. It doesn't hurt to tell us, what exactly you didn't understand. |
| Re:Zero is a complex and rich series where viewers can't even understand half of the details in the episodes they are watching. It requires a lot of analysis, rewatching, and discussion. The current Season 3, Arc 5, is actually the simplest and most straightforward Re:Zero arc. |

I think the anime does a terrible job adapting the nuances of the novel and it omits a lot of important info, so I don't blame anime onlies for not getting most of it. If people don't read the novels a lot of info will go over their heads and you can't blame them for it. You can praise the novels for being a masterpiece but the anime is far from it.
| @Yosakusan I don't think you understand subtext in a visual medium. What you're asking for isn't achievable without having a narrator who explains everything, like in the Chimera Ant Arc from Hunter x Hunter. A lot of people disliked the narrator in that arc. Re:Zero is a masterpiece. Just because it's not easily understandable on the first watch doesn't change that fact. Most movies or shows that are praised as masterpieces are essentially the same. |

The problem is that there's no subtext most of the time, it is just flat out omited info. Like Satella's double personality, Al and Flugel being from Japan, Subaru having a conection to the sage, cut shadow garden scenes, Wilhelm's shoulder injury, important details of Emilia's breakdown in S2 and many more important scenes that are just removed/changed in the anime for no reason. Even if u retain 100% of the info the anime provides, without looking at cut content videos, you'll still feel lost sometimes.
| @Yosakusan Like Satella's double personality. I agree that this was a poorly handled cut. Al and Flugel being from Japan This is completely unrelated to Arcs 1-5. Even if the anime mentioned details like Aldebaran's origins, people would likely forget after eight years, and it could be added later. Subaru having a conection to the sage This can easily be included in the Arc 6 anime adaptation. cut shadow garden scenes Even Tappei forgot about the shadow garden. Wilhelm's shoulder injury In the anime, Wilhelm is constantly shown holding his shoulder, and this will be explained again in Cour 2. (probably) Important details of Emilia's breakdown in S2 Roswaal already provided enough context for this, and viewers can literally see her in the trials room. Except for Satella's double personality, none of these omissions impact the story or viewing experience yet. |

| Its just intentionally convoluted to get you to think "oh me godz deep." You might have to watch previous seasons again. |
