I am still contemplating over how Re:zero became a big hit.
It has no overwhelming merit over other animes. Just another "living in another world" shit that has been rehashed over and over again with some All You Need Is Kill-esque reincarnation feature.
Actually, it was painful to watch. The plot is boring and predictable, characters are horrendous(especially the protagonist) except few good ones.
How, how the fuck is it so popular right now?

>non-/a/ image
Fuck off.
>>148433331
Because you are a shitty crossboarding normalfag with a shitty badly edited non-/a/ picture and you need to kill yourself right away.
>>148433382
>>148433410
Here you fucking go.
Now, would you kindly come here and wonder how Re:Zero became a hit?
>>148433382

Memes, pure and simple
>>148433331
Because Rem

Git sum taste faggot

That's not how it works, nigger, you have to lurk for a few years now.
>>148433701
Yes. She is cute. Though I absolutely cannot understand why the hell she fell in love with Subaru. He is a horrible person. Yes, he helped her dealing with some psychological problems but her love is too much. Just too fucking much. She literally died for him. Why, WHY THE FUCK?
>>148433629
>>148433774
What part of this abbysal hellhole am I not understanding?
>>148433939
The part where we don't like newfags.
>>148433331
Waifus and an edgy twist. That's literally it.

To be honest, Re;Zero is like a masterpiece compared to previous fads like SAO
Lap pillow scene was unironically great
>>148433331
I concur entirely. The worldbuilding is definitely well done, but the characters are little more than poorly fleshed out archetypes.
Besides, Rem and Ram are basically a strictly worse version of Hisui and Kohaku.
>>148434468
almost right. its the SAO of 2016
>>148433331
Because it's a deconstruction, and people will fall for anything that is 'deep'.
See madoka
Also, it has good production value, and they obviously tried to push it as a big thing.
>>148433701
>>148433331
>all you need is kill-esque reincarnation feature
this is the reason.
>>148434468
SAO was bad but it was better then Re:Zero in every category.
>>148434169
This, basically. Plus the self insert factor (if I was in that situation I'd do THIS)
That's all you need to be succesful. Just put some loser MC in an alternate world probably related to video games in some way, add a bunch of waifu flavours and top it off with some edge and you're done. It basically writes itself, all you have to do then is write in the little details and dialogue to accompany it.

Everyone and their posted Emilia/Rem pictures and it just goes off from that.
The plot wasn't something we haven't seen before.
The animation was pretty solid.
Music wasn't amazing.
>>148434531
The worldbuilding was awful. More than half of the first cour was stuck at some stupid mansion, and the next cour wasn't any better. They introduced a bunch of other candidates for king and not only are they shitty characters, you don't get a feel for how the land they come from is different.
>>148434696
>SAO was bad but it was better then Re:Zero in every category
the only thing SAO did better was the OST and it's Kajiura's worst work
>>148433331
Funposting
>>148434898
It's almost like the newfags didn't know there was 40 threads for them to post their retarded observations in. I can't wait for this reddit:zero cancer to die.
You're not even a hipster you're just out of touch.
>>148433939
Uh oh. Now you've done it, OP. You've called this place an abyssal hellhole. Now that you've hurt this board's feelings they're going to report you and sage. See you next time.
>>148434822
SAO had consistently better animation in S1, it's characters were all boring but atleast they weren't offensively badly made like Subaru or Wilfheim, the stories were equally boring but SAO managed to have 1 arc that deserves a 5/10, better then Re:Zero.
also it's OST is better as well.
>>148434982
After about 35 threads people were making more just to piss off the peoplelike (you)that were upset about the number of threads.
>>148433331cute girls
>>148434898
Newfag's first shitstorms. This happens every time something gets reasonably popular on /a/, just think of it like a silly event for the day and move on.
>>148435166
>before 35 threads it is was ok
>>148433869
Seems to be an issue both her and her sister have, but she ended up with someone who isn't completely fucking awful.
>>148435226
People are genuinely too retarded to check the catalog when they've just watched something and want to shitpost right away.
Probably because you hate Subaru, he was anti self insert, weak, dumb and bullied and he's what made the show work so well.
The rest of the cast were great but it would have been boring without him.
>>148435390
So reddit loves Subaru?
>>148435164
As a character, he's a terrible person but a great character.
>>148435314
It wasn't even a bad one. A bad shitstorm fucks up the board for days.
>>148435390
That is why you dumb fags love him so much, if we had a character that wasn't a sperg you fags would flip out
>>148435390
but he was a self insert, no one want to self insert as a competent, smart witted hero
>>148436124
You're actually supposed to dislike him or at least think he's annoying and there aren't any NHK moments when you realize you're just as bad, Subaru is supposed to be worse. The viewer is constantly given his reaction to events and although he's lacking a backstory he becomes impossible to self insert into, he's not just slow but his flaws are overly apparent.
The viewer is shown what he's missing before he realizes generally know more than he does and he constantly makes the decisions the viewer wouldn't.
