The story is pretty generic but, who says generic can't be good? Because Rezero will definitely prove you wrong. The thing that brings a show to life is it's characters, which I have to say Rezero did a pretty good job with. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀ Mainly with Subaru and just the psychological aspects of everything. Because he has no special powers, watching him suffer pulls at the heartstrings so much you just want him to find happiness. Every cruel death has meaning unlike some shows which are just like "we want you to feel sympathy for this character." *que sad backstory (cough cough sao) The only problem I have is that it sorta forgot some characters later on in the series; like Reinhard was very important in the first 4 episodes /w felt but then they aren't really there at all in the second half. I also wish we got more backstories on our protagonist, because unfortunately the only thing we really know about Subaru is that he's a total neet who loves Emilia.⠀
⠀⠀The animation was good but I mean you could tell when some episodes got more love. Like the last episode, still overall white fox was pretty consistent. I also thank the directors for knowing when to leave out an OP/ED in an episode it just really adds more showing they care about this series. All the openings and endings were great, thank you Rie Takahashi and MYTH & ROID. Honestly I can't imagine heart wrenching moments without Rie Takahashi's vocals. Also MYTH & ROID tyvm for your great ost's for real I wish I could buy this whole soundtrack so bad.
So after 25 episodes a lot is unanswered but I enjoyed this ride to say I recommend this for anyone. It left an impact I will not forget the times I cried. And I will hope for another season. This is definitely my favorite series from 2016, Rezero is something I'll remember.⠀
