It seems as though more and more Re:zero fanboys have realized that this show is not what they wanted. Somewhere along the way, this show may have taken a direction that made little sense or got too formulaic to the point that you became disinterested. I ask you now vote for which ever reason you see fit and let’s put an end to the debate.

I actually love this show and have for a long time since its airing, but I do have one major personal disappointment in it so far that isn't even listed above:

I feel like Felt and her interactions with other characters were far more interesting when she was just a thief girl, and I personally thought there would be more potential in utilizing her character effectively throughout the story if she stayed in that relatively-lowly position for a while. Instead, she's just suddenly a candidate for the dragon priestess just because it's supposed to be a big twist, I guess, and her characterization has been boiled down to, "Fuck everyone, I'm an anarchist. Don't vote for me." Maybe it was an ill-advised attempt to keep her relevant? But, that would be weird since this entire arc has focused on Subaru jumping around the city, so her popping up again if she was still just a thief would make total sense. I mean, she at least felt like she had purpose before in stealing items and selling them off to the highest bidder. Now, I don't even know why she's in the story beyond the aforementioned twist.

Honestly it just feels like Subaru isn't growing all that much. He constantly makes dumb mistakes that he should have realized will mess him up in the end. He doesn't realize that most of his "love" for Emilia is there because first girl he met. Subaru is not a great character and this has only become more apparent as the series kept going.

The positive depiction of whaling is what really gets to me. The mission for our "heroic" MC is to slaughter a defenseless whale minding his own business.

Respawn is acceptable if the concept of anime is video game while Re:Zero is not.

I am still curious what happens next because as far as understand it there is going to be powe-up arc that make him a little bit Kirito.

A lot of statements and you don't elaborate on any of them, humm why might that be I wonder? Oh right, you can't elaborate on any of those because you simply want to hate on a popular anime, also, comparing Subaru with Kirito is a fallacy, but hey, I get it, you just want to be edgy.

Nah but honestly this whole forest fight felt like SAO or Log Horizon. Hope they leave this fkin mansion this season. (at ep. 11 currently)
My thoughts are it isnt as bad as (some) people say it is, but it also isnt as good as (some) people say it is. Ill watch till the end tho, cause im interested, dont wanna miss the hype and dont like dropping in the middle.

Yeah, same setting can get tedious. However, this is the second arc. Up until the mid of arc 3 (which is currently on-going), the whole thing is pretty much like a prologue. Lots of exploration of world setting coming soon.

lol id you dont like the anime you can always stop watching it.

why do you even bother...
the anime is tottaly changed pase after ep 13
so yeah i expect there will be people who woul'd dislike it after that
even tho they enjoyed it before.

but honestly there is a people who like it even more when that got all dark and a lot of talk and psycological shit (like my self)

and the fact that you hate it or don't like it anymore wont affect my personal oppinion that I LIKE IT. even with all the shit that are wrong with it
ep 18 was the best for me when some of my friend think that was a filler.
so yeah... every one got their oppinion
and this kind of show is probably must watch and see for your self if you like it or not. it to complex in the audience its trying to reach and be friendly to
so you'r Hate post and speeches are pointless.

Not like my post is going to save this thread. My biggest peeve is the pacing and the devotion to the almost pointless faffing. At first it was the meta talk and annoying observations of the MC, now it's the painfully familiar formula this show has utilized in between progressing the story. Granted it's necessary for the most part but many times I'm stuck wondering if there were some way for a more focused story. It just feels like filler in some of the episodes and the only part that feels significant is the first and last two minutes of each episode, combined with 45 seconds throughout the episode. Otherwise it feels like pandering, narm, and it trying too hard.

Dammit Japan, you and your whaling propaganda again. Leave that whale alone. LOL

But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

http://www.classzone.com/books/lnetwork_gr08/page_build.cfm?content=analyz_media&ch=30

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.
