What is RE:Zero? what is what this anime tries to be? at the start of episode 1 i got the feeling this anime was a parody, it's clearly conscious of the Isekai genre clichés yet this anime ends up doing later exactly what it just mentioned moments ago, i don't understand, am i supposed to find that funny? am i supposed to find the retarded behavior of the MC funny? people find characters with chameleonic personality are considered cool these days? you can feel your brain cells dying at an incredible speed while watching this anime and their characters interacting.
But that's ok, Re:zero is not a parody or a comedy anime, that's fine, is this a romance anime then? No, the special ability our main character has leaves no room to the development of the other characters or their relationships ergo the character chemistry is terrible and inorganic, only a retarded teenager who has no idea how real human relationships work will think this romance is well done.
But that's ok? This is not a parody or a romance anime, is this some senseless action series then, like Gurren Lagann or Kill la Kill? Nope, this series takes itself waaaaaaay too seriously, it's way too edgy, it's impossible to say this anime is just pure and senseless action, so it fails again here, if this is not enough for you then let me mention that the battle sequences doesn't make any sense at all either, i want this review to be spoiler free but if i have to put an example i'd say watch ep. 3 if you have more than 4 completely functional brain cells you'll notice what i'm talking about.
So ok, this is not a parody, a romance anime or an action series, is this a psychological thriller then? all the characters are extremely simple, as generic as they can be, in this wonderful anime you'll find: the maid lolis, generic waifus who love our beta MC for no good reason, traps, furries, drill lolis, that other thing... you know that thing with the green hair, the uni-dimensional psycho, etc.
The audiovisuals are not even good either, the colour palette is a extremely poor choice, the music is ok but it's forgettable and character design is as generic as the personality of the characters.
We have another pathetic and generic Isekai anime, just another Konosuba, Overlord, Mondaiji-tachi, SAO, No Game No Life, etc.... don't waste even 20 seconds of your time in this insult to the humankind.
