Around vol 4 they did, but most of those nips that did thought it was another battle harem and got fucked right in the ass. A new fanbase has now formed around it that are mostly consisting of Beserk, Evangelion and Helck fans.

How is Stray Dogs so popular? It's horribly paced and has cringey obnoxious humor. It's so generic. Nothing about it stands out as worthwhile.

>>141142943
I don't think alot of people would self insert as a guy who carries his comatose girlfreind everywhere with him, just saying.
>>
>>141143015
Is he doing that yet? I noted the set up specifically for a reason.

>>141143000
Fujos. And well, maybe its because its not as shit as people thought it would be.

>>
>>141143138
That's not completely true. Clearly the later events of the story aren't wish fulfillment while I'd argue the earlier events are.

>>141143168
He's self-insert because he's generic and clearly designed for the express and sole purpose of the viewer relating to him. And I don't understand what you're saying as far as the set up being unpleasant.

>>141143205
Yeah, dying is painful, but the guy still gets to be the big hero when it's all said and done.

Are you joking? He saves everyone in the fourth episode, and everyone starts giving him favors and shit for his valiant actions. If that's not being a hero, I don't know what is.

Maybe the premise, but it takes all of one episode for him to learn that the world he was transported to fucking sucks

Unless I'm suddenly in another dimension where loli shows are popular, numerous and sell well.

He is pretty obviously not from /a/, just like you.

>>141143269
His actions are pretty thankless considering he's not allowed to tell anyone about the looping or all the shit he's done to make certain things possible.
I can only imagine a pretty fucked up masochist wanting to self insert as Subaru. He's a character you sympathize for and want to succeed but you'd never want to be him.

Cause the modern anime audience has hilariously terrible and shallow taste. Literally everything comes down to characer design and somewhat pretense of the premise. Just about nothing else remotely matters

Yup but really it's not like there are a whole lot of better choices. Most of the stuff getting made now is pandering dogshit of varying budgets and art design appeal

Isn't that what Rem does? Except Emilia doesn't murder him first.
>>
>>141143299

If that's the case why is it separated from the next dumb as fuck show by less than 20 votes. What's funny is this was all predetermined before the season started when people were all over the seasonal popular people action clusterfuck and seasonal reincarnation story. Do we have a seasonal trapped in an MMO BTW?
>>
>>141143483
>>141143510
Alright, cool, there's a twist. Doesn't change the fact that he saved everyone and still gets to play the hero, at least for a time. And moreover, he did still save all of those people's lives, even if he doesn't get praise for it.

>>141143433
"Fucking sucks" is an overstatement, seeing as it's still a fantasy world that he gets to be an incredibly important part of due to his power.

>>141143492
Again, he's still boring and generic and only exists for the viewer to project on. Just because shitty things happen to him doesn't mean this isn't true.

Nope, Rem stays with him for the entire series premeditated murder or otherwise. Emilia left Subaru after losing a duel which embarassed her socially.

Funny thing is - I posted the original post that started the whole flamewar and I've not posted even once since.

So maybe it's one assburger that cannot accept no one like his edgy niwaka anime? Because I don't like Re:Zero as well.
I mean come the fuck on how many escapism I get hit by a truck and get teleported to a fantasy world shit stories does Japan need?

It's interesting to see shows that you expect to be fujoshit or otaku pandering actually play out that way in the demographics. I've noticed that one of the ways Western anime fans differ from those in Japan is the fact that shoujo and the like actually have a significantly larger male following than among the Japanese (and the same with women actually watching ecchi and fanservice aimed at men). I don't know if this is because gender interests are less separated in the West than in Japan or if Western anime fans just see all anime as the same monolithic entity and watch it regardless of the intended audience.

I honestly don't think you understand what I'm trying to tell you. It's escapism because
>look he's like me and he's doing his best in that amazing fantasy world surrounded by all those cute Western looking girls. I could be a cool guy if I get hit by a truck too.

It is escapism. In a way it's even more sad than the typical type of escapism because a typical LN like that could inspire an otaku a bit. In this case, there's not even that, he's just a fucking piece of shit and remains like that. Still he's a part of the story.

So it makes them think - ah, it's obviously the world I live in. In a fantasy world I'd be more interesting even if I remain a shit.

So much worse. The implication you'll get something for doing jackshit.

And before you ask, yes, there is an LN about a fat otaku shoving two enko kosai sluts to the ground. But if I remember it correctly the three of them got smashed by the truck anyway and went to the fantasy land together.

Don't remember what it was called though.

No, it isn't. This is describing a very specific circumstance in which a character is put into an exciting and interesting situation through absolutely no action of his own. There's not even a plot device explaining why he specifically needs to be important. It could have been you, me, or anyone else. That's why it's wish fulfillment.

Not that anon you're replying to, but I feel that's essentially part of its popularity. Normally, people SI into awesome characters as escapism to feel better about themselves. This is the opposite. People want him to suffer so they can feel pity for him and be glad they're not him. Conversely, there's also a minor bit of escapism as massive amount of suffering is a key part of many betrayal/revenge fanfics. They want to be able to SI him to be able to fix everything in his stead. Granted, this can horribly backfire if they take it too far in the suffering department as the readers feel there's no payoff in continue to reading it and simply stop.

Take this with a grain of salt but having been through the edgy teenager phase and read many naruto betrayal/revenge fics, I can say, people don't SI into a guy that's constantly getting ripped apart, but they SI into him so they can go full AU in that they can revel in the suffering to fuel their hatred so they can power-up their dark side to kill god/defy fate/rule the world or some other bullshit. On the flip side, the female fanfic writers does the opposite by reveling in the pity they have for the suffering person and try to mother-hen all the pain away.

No, because as soon as Emilia was left alone she got killed by bishops.

He was basing his judgement on what happened in the past which was that someone was targeting her, and at any point she left her gaurd down she would be killed. He wanted to keep her safe in the risk of breaking said trust.

Re:Zero is unironically a great series when you actually take a moment to try to immerse yourself in the story instead of staying on edge out of fear that it's going to trick you the way SAO did. Also as long as you're not dumb enough to try to compare it with KonoSuba.
>>
>>141147559
I might disagree with that. When anime only watchers looked at the series, it was underhyped calling it Konosuba or SAO which from there, the spoilers came out along with the manga. And then people became slightly more interested and started a war with the shit posters that have not read into the series, making those people ignorant, so on, etc. Basically, it is a back and forth battle with one of the slightly underhyped series that became slightly more hyped after people started calling out on the hypocrisy of Digibro and other so-called reviewers.

>>
>>141146893
The problem is that people who blindly hate on it insist that it's just yet another of those dude goes to a fantasy world series and never bother looking up more info about it, which annoys people who enjoy the series enough to know it isn't as simple as that.
The basic idea is that the MC needs to bruteforce the plot by reaching bad ends and respawning at set points, by the way. Watch the entire first episode with its two parts and you'll get an idea of how it's like.

>>141147785
>after people started calling out on the hypocrisy of Digibro and other so-called reviewers.
and I'm glad they did.
Daily reminder for everyone else on what 'meta' means since Digibro said:
>the MC of RE:Zero is meta

That's not what 'meta' means. You've taken the definition of the prefix 'meta-' and applied it to the definition of the adjective 'meta'. Ever since digibro made that mistake when describing Re:Zero so many others seem to have started making that same mistake as well.

'meta-[thing]' describes that which is the emergent property of a [thing] yet not an intrinsic part of that [thing] (see: metaphysics, meta-narrative). It also means 'above', but in a metaphorical sense (see: metamorphosis). However, when you simply say 'meta' as an adjective, there is nothing after the prefix, so instead it's describing something which is 'meta-itself'.

The protagonist of Re:Zero thinks he's in some sort of 'game-like' world, but he's not being 'meta'. He only ever refers to aspects of the 'metagame' of certain games that resemble the world he's in, which is closer to 'lampshading' or 'lampshade-hanging'. If he was referring to being trapped in an anime, that would be 'meta', but he doesn't refer to that, which is why it isn't 'meta'. Does that make sense to you now?

When I say SAO tricked people, I'm referring to it's bait-and-switch of setting and genre, from 'trapped in an MMO death game' to 'generic battle harem', which utterly ruined one of the most interesting premises in recent anime history.

>I definitely went in trying to enjoy it.
Hey, good to hear. As long as you're being honest with yourself.

>The most recent episodes have completely turned me off though. MC is annoying and insufferable
Fair enough. I can stand his stupidity and lampshading mainly because it's balanced out with demonstrations of altruism, enthusiasm, and something which has happened several times now: he sets himself up in a manner that seems like he's about to take advantage of someone only to request something totally clever and mundane instead (such as asking for Emilia's name).
>the rest of the characters are shallow waifubait
For now that's more or less true. Hopefully they're fleshed out a little more as the series progresses.

Referencing the 'meta-narrative' isn't itself 'meta', just as a reference to a type of food isn't itself edible. meta- is a prefix to a noun. meta is an adjective. stop using it like a noun.

I understand your definition, but you're ignoring the fact that definitions of a word can change and have changed in the case of the term meta. You can just use meta to refer to something referring to itself or the conventions of it's genre or medium. Lampshade hanging is a form of this.
>>
>>141148227
>bait-and-switch of setting and genre
This show does that too. From a standard fantasy anime with hints of mistery to a gorefest with lots of suffering. Why are you okay with that?

>altruism, enthusiasm, and he sets himself up in a manner that seems like he's about to take advantage of someone only to request something totally clever and mundane instead

Now, explain me, why is this attitude new or original in the medium. Kirito also is altruist, enthusiast and keeps himself humble (Beater thing at the beginning, PSTD in Gun Gale, he having guilt trips for her cousin/sister, helping tamer loli, etc). Is really hard to differentiate it from one another when the only significative difference is that one is underpowered and the other is overpowered.

Re:Zero doesn't takes itself seriously when it should due to it's themes of death and suffering, therefore it fails at beign a story. It's bad in that angle. Another thing is if you can enjoy that, which actually is subjective and you do, so good for you.

>>141148535
>but you're ignoring the fact that definitions of a word can change
Only if you're some sort of wretched descriptivist.

If people keep misusing a word often enough and loudly enough, it's true that they can bring forth polysemy from that word, but in this instance, that new definition cheapens the adjective meta, which is something formerly reserved for specific pieces of art that manage to be both themselves and the emergent properties of themselves simultaneously. Now people throw that word around to reference literally anything that can be described with a trope, which is as pointless as calling everyone special.

Because that's a change for the better! I would have quite possibly dropped it if I hadn't seen part 2 of the first episode. That's the other thing, it's not a bait-and-switch if it happens almost immediately. SAO went for 14 whole episodes before throwing away its premise.

I know that anon, I know the material. With that in mind I can say Re:Zero doesn't takes itself seriously in it's themes of death and suffering. It makes you believe it does with using excesives amount of it, but in reality everything goes the author's way like a puppet show, where the characters lack common sense, plot elements are conveniently used and then dropped (Metea, for example), people die only to create shock factor (Rem, both in the second and third arc) when there's never an indication why they specifically should die in those situations, we have generic tropes (Emilia, Drills Loli, Reinhardt, Roswall) and to top it off, the source of all evil is also a generic trope (Yandere).

lampshading means 'referencing the meta-narrative'. Referencing something isn't the same as being something.

Changing the definition turns that word into a mess. You're trying to say that 'meta' now means referencing a word which begins with 'meta-', which means that philosophy is 'meta', bribing people is 'meta', 'wavedashing' is 'meta', and even butterflies are 'meta'. It gets totally ridiculous.

I can say the same about Subaru, both in his reactionary attitude and in his emotional reactions. He's moved by the plot too, not the other way around. Why, then, he would dare to betray Emilia's trust on arc 3? Because the plot needed so in order to not only separate him from Emilia, but also tie him with Rem.

>'Pointlessly lies about his power level out of fear of rejection' is not a display of humility in any sense.

Subaru has been anything but emotionless so far. Part of why some people dislike his character is actually for that reason. He's not a black slate that people can easily project themselves onto because he acts and reacts in ways that most people wouldn't. As for going along with what the plot demands of him, Kirito was doing that even though he had a world of options available to him. Subaru's trapped in an endless nightmare, so the author has a good excuse

.>>141149299
>"I'm gonna make clever and mundane requests" instead of, you know, something actually useful.
Asking for Emilia's name was pure genius. He didn't know that save points could change at the time, remember?

>>141149033
The only example you give of Re:Zero not taking itself seriously (outside of character designs matching tropes, which is more laziness than anything else), seems to be Metea being forgotten about, but that's actually avoiding a plot hole if anything. Characters dying to create shock value is something that a dark series which takes itself seriously would do. That's pretty much par for the course.

It seems like your main gripe is that the premise is too convenient for the author and gives him too much freedom to play around with the story according to his whims.

Different person who's enjoying Re:Zero here, the gore in the manga seems to only exist for the sake of shock. I mean, just look at how graphic most of Subaru's deaths are, and how detailed is the gore in the manga in particular - I'm not saying that I can't handle gore as I'm used to it by now, only that the manga seems to only be that gory to attract people who like edge.

Everything in the narrative is (in that same sense) a part of the metanarrative. It's the metanarrative.

That means that Re:Zero is specifically not being meta. Subaru refers specficially to video game tropes and Re:Zero an anime, so there's no justification for claiming it to be self-referential.

I might need to disagree on that point, common sense is played onto somewhat of certain emotions and the credibility of Subaru that everyone is suspicious of.
>plot elements are conveniently used and then dropped (Metea, for example)
Like not the phone or Metea itself? Because the raws might have mentioned it at one point and explored it into the source material.
>people die only to create shock factor (Rem, both in the second and third arc) when there's never an indication why they specifically should die in those situations
Actually, it kinda did, but you are reading spoilers. It explains it in further detail of the circumstances but you are only seeing the spoilers which does not fully see the other side.
>we have generic tropes (Emilia, Drills Loli, Reinhardt, Roswall) and to top it off, the source of all evil is also a generic trope (Yandere).
Generic tropes will only be flat if you let it be. The author actually gives depth to their characters in one way or another. You only got to see the surface, I can't blame you for not being able to read the WN yourself.
I hope I didn't sound rude but at least be patient for this series to further go into its plot.

>>141149616
Subaru respawns when he dies. Roswaal has a magic book that tells him what Subaru is going to do. If they got in a fight, Roswaal would know what Subaru is going to do because his book told him so. When Subaru dies he knows what Roswaal is going to do because he already lived that fight. Roswaal's book shows him that Subaru knows what Roswaal's next move will be and he plans accordingly. When Subaru dies again he has this knowledge and works around Roswaal's new plan. He knows you know. He also knows you know he knows, and so on and so forth.

Subaru also has a world of options. There are a lot of moments he could've avoided, a lot of moments where he could had stopped and think, yet the show insist that he will react to things instead of beign pro-active. He start to think after things happen to him, instead of looking for way to prevent them, like asking about the world for example.
I'll give you the emotionless one because I can't defend myself here.

>Asking for Emilia's name
Dude, asking a girl's name after getting her trust is not something "clever". Is something natural. Don't praise him for such small thing.

>Metea being forgotten about, but that's actually avoiding a plot hole if anything.

I don't see how that avoids a plot hole. It tears one open because the author didn't bothered to use the elements of the universe in a natural manner, and instead brought it up to make the negotiations in arc 1 smoother (which by the way, a Metea just so happened to be valued as equally as a really important stone) and then decided to drop it.

>Characters dying to create shock value is something that a dark series which takes itself seriously would do.
Akame ga Kill did the shock value thing too. We don't take that one seriously.

Shock value is not what a serious author should seek in death. It is meaning and it's consequence and the handling of such element what's matter. Rem's deaths in arcs 2 and 3 are for purely shock factor, as there is no factual evidence that she should be the one dying, just "mere casuality". Instead, she's the one because she loves the MC, and we want to make the MC suffer so here you go.

>your main gripe

I love the premise. My gripe is the fact that the author is very obvious in it's intention, relies a lot on shock factor instead of carefully threading the narrative, and the fact that fanboys are too lenient about those details.

Instead of asking that to me, go ask the author why he dropped it.
Here, have some examples: Ask Roswall to give him a Metia or if he can negotiate a Metia. Ask Drills loli or Puck how to create a Metia. Tell the maids that in order to protect the mansion, as a non magic user, a Metia would be useful. There are ways to use it as an element of the world, yet the author used it as a concept to move the plot.

No him, but the author is a well known sadist. So his intentions from the start was clear. We just didn't exect for him to pull it off so masterfully. How he has developed the characters in a way that we grow attached to them only to leave the readers in pain shows how well he can pull on other peopels emotions. Rem is a prime example of this especially. Naoru hated her and wanted her gone, he made her become one of the best girls, Naoru loved her and then he killed her off. The following days was an absolute shitstorm and then he released the "what if" chapters.

>Being trapped in a video game world is a trope of anime, stop with this pedantic garbage.
I'm not being pedantic for the sake of it. It's reaching to act like Subaru is referencing a cliche of 'being in an anime about being trapped in a video game world' when the anime itself depicts someone who simply finds themselves in an unknown fantasy setting and reacts with initial bewilderment, and then applies a set of assumptions formed through overexposure to video games to his actions. His character can appear self-aware because he applies knowledge of 'video game tropes' to his setting, but there's nothing to suggest that he's not simply a character played straight.

Even if being trapped in a video game world is a trope of anime, that doesn't mean that all video game tropes are magically now anime tropes.

Just because you add gimmicks or you force them to say or act in a certain way doesn't makes them deep. They are still puppets. ie.- Rem, who allowed herself to get bitten. Why?

But that's still not all that applicable to anime because even if you include those, you'd still only get two more anime off the top of my head. Danmachi (which the author tries to explain by saying the Gods are basically RPing a tabletop game on earth for fun because they're bored in Heaven), and possibly Overlord. I say possibly because Overlord doesn't have any of those RPG/MMO screens, but the game spells and such transferred over. If you said just a fiction trope in general (because Westerners have used it plenty of times as well) it'd be applicable, but definitely not an anime trope.

From what I understand they're supposed to be specific and unique items, i.e. extremely rare. Even the loli and merchant in arc 1 didn't seem to have known about them except by rumour.

Except it doesn't and you don't need to. Every character is more than fleshed out not to mention how easily you can come to sympathise with some of them. Thats what alot of anons who read the WN had a gripe about when the anime aired.

There are entire chapters just exploring Subaru's monoluges and thought processes.

That only work for people that doesn't notice how bad the characters are. I'm sorry, sympathy or "beign the underdog" is not a reason to like a character. It's emotional manipulation from the author. And you see how well that worked for him in the end.

>I don't see how that avoids a plot hole. It tears one open because the author didn't bothered to use the elements of the universe in a natural manner, and instead brought it up to make the negotiations in arc 1 smoother (which by the way, a Metea just so happened to be valued as equally as a really important stone) and then decided to drop it.
I am pretty sure it is brought up later on in the raws, if I can remember it. But his phone I am pretty sure is battery dead.
>Akame ga Kill did the shock value thing too. We don't take that one seriously.

Shock value is not what a serious author should seek in death. It is meaning and it's consequence and the handling of such element what's matter. Rem's deaths in arcs 2 and 3 are for purely shock factor, as there is no factual evidence that she should be the one dying, just "mere casuality". Instead, she's the one because she loves the MC, and we want to make the MC suffer so here you go.
I think this part introduced the villains slightly more and their powers. This gave Subaru another goal to keep working towards to try and bring her back, giving some silver lining to the suffering. It has a value equal to something.

You are making the same mistake everybody else does when I mentioned Metias. Let me help you. 1.- It's not about the cellphone 2.- It's about how the concept of metias was dropped. I hope you see now what I meant. It didn't closed the "low batteries" plothole, it opened other.
>You're sort of just bringing up a generic 'metia' with those ideas
Yes, I am, because they aren't explored further. Rom only mention them, and that's all. No questions from the MC, no other character using them, no drills loli detailing about them, no metia for the MC when he broke his mana gate, nothing, even though he had powerful magic users close to him and a Library, which he can use because he is teached about language. It was a plot device.

He can get her attention for long enough to warn her not to get her insignia stolen. He can manufacture some reason for knowing her name. Maybe he can pretend he was in league with that thief but has now defected.

There's a whole plethora of new options available to him with that knowledge, and a much greater change to completely alter the events which occur.

I doubt a character with lack of common sense, especially on that stage of the story, would come up with a credible one.
>Maybe he can pretend he was in league with that thief but has now defected.
The less reason to believe him, since trying to get the sympathy of others should get people wary. But this one might work, given Emilia's naivety.

>There's a whole plethora of new options available to him with that knowledge, and a much greater change to completely alter the events which occur.
But that's still not a reason to praise him for asking a name. Is relevant info that could alter the way things happen, yes, but why praise him for that when he didn't asked for reading lessons, for example.

This is also a personal opinion, not really something to debate, but I believe Re:Zero author is doing things in an uninteresting way. Most of the time is a linear path, like if it were predestined to happen in the same way always, as if it were a videogame. Take for example the 3 times he met with the same 3 guys on an alley.

I'm actually a little disappointed that this wasn't intentional. Re:Zero could have thematically been an exploration of someone stuck as a character in a video game (as opposed to a player), with certain major decisions being made for him, and unable to control where the 'player' saves and loads. I thought that was what it was going for, but apparently I'm reading too much into those details and they were mostly coincidental.

It's staying true to its premise and isn't going to simply turn into a bland harem.

It skipped enormous chunks of interactions and developments which made the characters and the series vibrant in the first place. Like there is an entire chapter about him reflecting upon his four deaths and explaining his thought processes before opening the door to betty's room. They also missed out upon the bickering between the maids and lost upon important foreshadowing. Even the manga adapted that well, but they fucked up that scence in the anime, which was the potato cutting scene. So many things were left behind for the sake of pacing it wasn't even funny.

They improved on the fifth episode, they brought back some of that development into the latest one. It would have been too awkward if that was put into play. The director is doing better than episode 4 with episode 5.

I also agree, they did quite a timeskip when it came to this.

I hope he improves enormously before the third arc hits, I am extremely worried that he won't be able to pull off the end of the second arc and the third arc well enough.

I feel like it was unfortunately a necessary thing to do for the sake of pacing. It would have felt like a cop-out if we needed to wait all the way to episode 5 to first learn that save points could move.

They might put the importance of how he felt about the time he spent the next episode. It would be too awkward if that were to repeat and based on time-constraints, we might be still looking at a decent adaptation by the next episode. It depends.

I hope that the director will stick more closely to the source material once he jumps off the cliff as it will honestly be for me, a make it or break it for the series. But its a new director so you never know.

I think he probably will. Episode 4 cut ahead to get the save point reveal out of the way, but now there's not really any reason to rush things further.

I think the director won't make the same mistake of not experiencing the full extent of the script like that last fucker with Utawarerumono. I believe he read the WN/LNs and I have some faith and doubts but so far, he's doing better than the last guy.
