Kuma said: yes. they are. so, if you siad this a "rip-off" (or got inspiration) from some name above, that's totaly wrong. ok so basically all people mistaken that this is a "rip-off" of konosuba and erased huhuhu |

| I wrote it once but I suppose I have to write it again :-) This anime has more in common with "All You Need Is Kill" / "Edge of Tomorrow" or "Higurashi no Naku Koro ni" than with "KonoSuba" or "ERASED". And I'm certain that I'm not the only one who thinks he (MC) will fail (die) many times and with each subsequent failure (death) it will be harder and harder for him to try again. |

johnyjohny said: I not sure if we both watched the same anime. First part might have been as you said (typical MC + cute girls + fantasy setting + anime humour), but the second part was really dark and with lots of gore.These makers got the audience by the balls. Mc they can related to + pretty girls + fantasy world + typical anime humor = win win cash cash. Seriously this anime has nothing new in imo, but people just dig these kind of anime now a days. I agree it's nothing really new, but neither it is really common. We don't have such anime in every season (but I'm still new to this anime thing and haven't seen that many (yet), so I might be wrong). |

| I liked this first episode. Too much fanservice though. Also, I liked how Subaru was a bit self-aware about him being in a fantasy world. But it was also kinda lame how he didn't realize that he was being revived - you know, especially he was expecting some sort of super power. But whatever |
| your waifu is shit |
lol dat moment when Subaru knew, He F***ED UP xD |

| I wonder what's the point of making him another "transported to another world dumbass otaku". Time rewinding upon death while retaining memories would be enough to build an interesting series on, without all that cringe worthy "humour" and references. It's a really a lazy way out to try making the character easy to relate to or like for whatever reason instead of well, writing it properly. Not to mention jokes falling flat instead of putting in some actual wit. Premise is good but I wouldn't expect much from the execution at this point. It will probably be fine but nothing more. |

Well it was intentional by the author that you think what most of us have though after the first part. The first part of episode 1 is done like that because he wants you to think that and drop your guard. Once you've done that because you expect something lighthearted generic, he comes in and brings you the second part. Also this is supposed to show how Subaru's expectations ( first part ) meet the harsh reality ( second part ). |

There's no need to explain everything right away. and I bet it will never be explained at all, just like a lot of the other transport to another fantasy world setting shows out there. Except it does get explained. Being prejudice is understandable, since Satoru's time travel powers from Erased don't get explained at all. But please don't just make baseless assumptions, you'll only look like a jackass. |

Fappa said: I know it was playing on expectations. What I don't understand is what was the point of writing the MC as a neet transported to other world in the first place. He could just be an inhabitant of that world and reset with death could still work just without crappy references and poor humour. Just look at Rokka no Yuusha. It's a classic closed room mystery set in a fantastical world without any pointless "summoned neet" gimmicks or game references.

I like the idea of grim and hopeless fight against impending death but MC like that only undermines the whole concept and takes away from the climate. My main gripe is that an interesting idea is partially spoiled by an unnecessary cliche. Maybe it will change later but I doubt that MC written this way serves any good reason other than the usual otaku pandering. |

| A friend recommended I check this out last night and I am glad that I did. I had no idea what to expect going in. The opening scene was great, it was dark and ambiguous which made me wonder what the hell was going on. I though I was in for a horror or psychological thriller, then bam he's in a very colorful fantasy world, like WTF?!? The MC's reaction to the situation was great and made me laugh out loud. As other have said this series seems to have a nice balance of humor, seriousness, and brutality. |

| Mixed feelings, poor start i have to admit, but got a lot better as it went on, but i feel we're gonna have big issues if we don't get a good reason why the MC is able to rewind time every time he dies, its only 1 ep in but already whether this show will be brilliant or a trainwreck is already centered around this one question. |

I won't say what it is of course but it will be explained, don't worry. You'll soon see that the author isn't the type of guy who likes to leave things unexplained for too long. He seems to know that if you don't know how something works for too long it will start to raise doubts. |
| The first half really delivered on the comedy front, and I thoroughly enjoyed how cheeky (and strong but not OP!) Subaru is. Subaru and Satella/Emilia also have pretty good chemistry, which I also liked. I read a bit on the series between episodes, but the second half still came completely unexpected for me. To think it will get darker by the episode... can't brain it right now, but got me intrigued that's for sure. I'm really impressed. Definitely in the running of (if not) AOTS for me. |

| Expected this to be good and wasn't disappointed. I think the most freakish thing is it's actually due to the current society with all the anime culture and stuff that people wouldn't find suddenly walking into a parallel fantasy world all that freaky. If this happened to someone when anime wasn't as popular, like in the 1990s, you can bet your asses that they'd freak their shit out.... That said, I cannot help but think the MC is dumb as heck. Youo got your stomach sliced open the first time round and suddenly wake up in front of the apple guy, who is acting like he doesn't know you, and then suddenly bump into the same three douche bags who also act like they never met you before, would you not stop to think for even a second first that there was something seriously weird about the entire situation before running over to that house? I cannot help but think that he deserved to die that second time round. Then the third time he wakes up at the same spot, obviously with all the memories of himself dying TWICE intact... why would he be stupid enough to think that the girl actually remembers him? Sure he's a Hikkikomori, but he wasn't acting all that dumb when he was trying to barter off his phone. So why all those weird moments of brainfarts from this dude? Seriously, apart from the inconsistency of the MC and his brainfarts, I liked everything else about this show. Love the animation, love the voices and the music. I even love the sexy lady who sliced the MC's stomach open (good on you girl!). j Cannot wait to see what happens next, but don't give us any more of the MC being a dumb, inconsistently, irrational idiot please! |

| Because the show's nearly making a point of showing off MC-kun's unusually high level of meta knowledge is in part A, the fact that all this self-awareness was seemingly lost as soon as the first serious plot twist occured rubs me the wrong way: it went pretty close to coming off as plot-induced stupidity, actually. Speaking of plot twist, I thought the scene in question as well the other more 'serious' moments of part B) was a tad too ham-fisted for my taste, and I mainly blame the sound direction for it. Many of the sound effects used during the dramatic scenes were just so loud and unecessarily intrusive it ended up weakening the impact of said scenes. Other than that it was alright: the character interactions are agreeable to follow and just the right level of awkward without ever entering facepalm-inducing territory. The world is bright and colorful and I greatly appreciate the fact that the streets are filled with individuals from various different species. |

I even love the sexy lady who sliced the MC's stomach open (good on you girl!). j Cannot wait to see what happens next, but don't give us any more of the MC being a dumb, inconsistently, irrational idiot please! Okay it was easy to miss but after his first death you can see that he's actually realized that something is weird, he's still skeptical though. At multiple times he tries to get indirect confirmation that the things he clearly remembers in his memories actually haven't happened yet. ( asking Rom whether he has died yet, asking Felt if she has met him yet , asking the thugs if they want revenge ). He also acknowledges that something is weird and that he has experienced this already because he has learnt from his previous loop. The second time he meets those thugs he goes for the guy with the knife first. He also decides to not repeat the same actions but rather take on the problem at its roots, the warehouse. He tries to get the insignia so that both of them don't even have to show up there if this whole reset thing is actually true of course. At scene where Elsa kicks him back he has a short flashback and he looks even more shocked because he now has the confirmation that all the things in the first loop have actually happened. He learns from this first loop by protecting his belly at all costs but it wasn't enough. After his second death and revival he finally realizes that he starts over here when he dies but he can't comprehend how this is even possible. Combine that with the traumatizing experience of being killed alongside with the pain -> blacks out Then he sees Satella and don't misunderstand he isn't surprised that she doesn't remember him. He has realized that already. He's surprised that she is upset about him calling her name ( normally you would expect a normal and probably friendly "How do you know my name?" ) and that she obviously didn't trust him enough to give him her real name. Add to this the fact that this name is the name of a witch who seems to be feared by the people. |

Cat spirit did appear very shocked when the name was exchanged. I interpreted it the name having a bad reputation, something she wants to keep a secret, as was semi-confirmed when getting angry at being called that in public. Maybe it has something to do with being half elf (scene where she was surprised MC did not have negative opinion of that). Looking forward to see whats the mystery behind that is. "Revelations" of that kind are fairly common so hoping it will not be overly run off the mill. |

It just threw me off on how abundant it was during the beginning. |

"Revelations" of that kind are fairly common so hoping it will not be overly run off the mill. Good job on picking up this little detail. There is indeed something about her name that is actually not run off the mill. When I read about it, I didn't expect it to involve that much story. Anyway what I'm getting at is that people kinda misunderstand Subaru's way of thinking and how much he actually realizes of the current situation. I actually can't blame them because the show isn't as easy going on the viewer as others by expression the MC's every thought with a monologue. He pretty much speaks through his actions because he acts on instinct. There is no time to waste so he wants to alter this loop by changing the one reason this all has happened, the insignia. On the way he also displays that he somewhat acknowledges his previous loop as real and that he has learned from it with some minor changes in his actions. It's hard to catch but this sets the tone for what you require in order to grasp certain points in the story. An understanding of subtle changes in a character's behavior without an explanation through long monologues. |

ColdBreeze said: MC is quite smart though, or at least he will get smarter soon. Just a bit patient. And if I'm not mistaken Re:Zeros source is older than Erased and KonoSubas, or? It's only because it came out last season and it's fresh in peoples minds. The more apt comparison that some have stated is, All You Need is Kill. Though yes it is annoying, especially since the time travel mechanics are completely different. |
| Big Order (TV):great anime or greatest anime? |
| Was expecting a light hearted show like Konosuba but with actual plot. Then part 2 came along. Instead got dark and serious with hints of comedy here and there. Very excited for the next episode. Although I hear it'll get more dark and depressing, don't know how I feel about that at this point in time. |
