It has been years since anything on TV has been able to get me this emotionally invested in it. So invested, that once I start, I can't put it down. I've gotten so excited that I've started to sweat, even in a cool room. I've cried tears of joy, and tears of sadness.
The story starts out right in the middle of the first chapter, with the "beginning" being explained through flashbacks. This approach lets us feel how overwhelmed and confused Subaru (The MC) is a lot of the time.
The many characters encountered throughout the series invoke strong emotions in me. Their personalities are slowly
...
expanded, with their feelings, and reasons for their actions revealed over time, making them very deep, developed characters, that I really grew to care for. From the protagonist, to the friends around him, even the Villian(s), there is depth to them; Many anime suffer from flat characters, who are little more than their stereotype. While many characters can be put into various roles often seen in anime, they are not limited to those roles. They fill them up, with their own sense of self, and really come alive.
That said, this story is not for the faint of heart. Things get gruesome, and Subaru has to struggle with a great many, horrible things weighing down his heart. But he struggles on, and perseveres, with the emotional support of the characters around him. He's not strong, or fast, or particularity smart, but he is driven, and determined; I end up feeling for him, and rooting for him. Clenching my fists, wanting him to succeed, against all the odds that seem stacked against him.
After I finished this anime, I'm left with the downside of watching something so spectacular. I want more content of this calibre, and it will be a long time before I can find something that is so satisfying to watch, as this was.
For me, Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu, " Starting Life in Another World From Zero", is one of my all time favorites, a list I can count on one hand.
