Keep watching at least through the end of the first arc, it's just 3 episodes.

Well, technically 4, since episode 1 is double length.

While it's not until episode 13 that he starts having a complete meltdown, his flaws are apparent before that.

Yes, obviously "I'VE BEEN SUMMONED TO A DIFFERENT WORLD" has been done before. Re: Zero was made out of contempt for that genre being popular. While it doesn't subvert every little thing, and it isn't subtle about what it does subvert, it's still an enjoyable watch because it has good storytelling.

Nah, you're shit. Just kill yourself.

The whole "put in a new dimension" shit is literally just the kicking-off point and is never hardly questioned as to why he's there or what his life before hand was like (except only as of recent).

If you actually watched more of it instead of meming it up, you might actually realize that. Of course, you're probably just the type to watch anime strictly to talk about it on /a/ or having to complain about. Fuck off.

He's not in the slightest. If anything, he's out to get pussy in the beginning and then does what he does because he cares about his friends.

Take your pick among contemporary options: You have modern society, steam-punk pseduo-history and alternate reality.

I haven't seen much in the way of praise for the setting. It's mostly for direction and development of the main character. The setting and side characters are pretty underdeveloped and cartoonish except for Wilhelm and Crusch.

>>145658512

>Yeah I'm not watching another shut-in gets transported to an rpg like fantasy realm story

Good thing he is neither a shut in nor is this a video game. He clearly mentions he goes to the gym early on in the series and even demonstrates understanding of basic martial arts. The word you're looking for is "high-fantasy", by the way, you little shit. But the story is more focused on having the capability of returning to a previous point after death. It's literally Steins;Gate or Erased but in a different setting.

>>145658270
It's a pretty nice show in a shit season. The only competition is Mob Psycho and that ended up not being as big as I thought it would. Re:Zero is a solid work with really good direction, although the plot itself is not without flaws. It's also a character study for Isekai self-inserts which I found really refreshing. Sprinkle waifus on top and you got yourself AOTS.

Don't judge me for seeing how terrible Re:Zero actually is. It's not my first series that utilizes timeloops as a plot device.

The problem it suffers is that its almost 26 episodes and the story went absolutely nowhere and overuses timeloops so much that it loses any kind of importance, not even the danger of the checkpoints being moved forward can alleviate it.

Not everyone thinks that the show's "twist" on trapped in another world shows is a twist. It is just as overused as all the other versions of it.

Suffering is okay and well written. Constantly having shitty things happen to you based on your own stupidity does not make a story. A story like this is completely protagonist-driven, and simply put, Subaru is not relatable. At all.
