Perfect 5/10 anime doesn't exi-
That's a 1 or a 2.
Absolutely right, Re:zero is exactly a middle of road in terms of everything
But isn't mediocre and it was kinda enjoyable to watch, until 19th episode
>>150371019
i would agree if Subaru wasn't a 10/10 hateable charakter.
I don't even know if this actually improved the show or not, i just really hate him
>>150370281
But everywhere else on the internet agrees Re:Zero is a masterpiece AOTY.
What's it like having the minority opinion that will get shrouded over :)?
>>150371256
It feels right
>>150371207
I don't understand this. Subaru is the only interesting part of Re:Zero. It would be a completely unoriginal boring isekai Anime if it weren't for Subaru's mental breakdowns making it slightly above average.
>>150370281
I can't argue with this.
>>150371370
This
no better than a 4 at a push.

>>150371370
I agree that he's basically the only thing that is actually original about this show.
Like i said i don't even know if he made the show actually better since i only hate his personality, not him as a role in a fictional story.
ITT: contrarians
Give me one LEGITIMATE reason why Re:Zero is bad.
>>150371019
Yeah it's really hard to watch after episode 18 if you don't like Subaru's obnoxious personality.
>>150371675Because it's popular
>>150371675
Because extensive melodrama. Everything else was SAO-tier.
>>150371717
This, just like SnK it was okay, but definitely not amazing and I don't understand why it's so popular.
>>150371019
I love Suberu's character. Not that I like him as a person at all, no, he's a down-right fucking cunt. But that's what makes him so good. Indecisive, two-faced, (trying) womanizer, exploitive, con of a man. He's not a fast learner but not prone to make much of the same mistakes. If this guy has to pull out a saving-move it'd only be out of dying so many times that it gives savescummers in Xcom a bad name.
It's like a younger DSP that just shat him into a fantasy setting.
>>150372159
But it is amazing.
Everywhere but /a/ agrees it's a top-tier masterpiece of the Isekai genre.
>>150372366
Everywhere but /a/ is fucking retarded.
>>150372037
Clannad had extensive melodrama yet nobody is complaining about it. And what exactly do you mean by SAO-tier? I didn't watch SAO.
>>150372366
It wasn't bad, it was overall good but I wouldn't say amazing, especially since it isn't finished yet. It's in a genre where authors tend to drag stuff on too long or botch the ending. If it manages to not do either of those then yes, it might be amazing. Until then it'll just be pretty good in my opinion.
Also Rem is best girl.
>>150370281
Daily reminder that Rem won the bowl

>>150372541

Fight me faggot
>>150371675
Subaru. This dude ruins the entire show.
>>150370281
It's a 7.
>>150371675
It's not. It's just not particularly good either. Middle of the road. Average. That's what 5/10 is if you're not IGN.
>>150371675
The only two things bad I can say about it is the "I love Emilia for no reason" shit and the fact that the main plot drags painfully slow. The latter is due to exploring Return by Death, though, so I don't weigh it as heavily.
Death and gore is there. Mystery is there. World building is there. Character development and backstory is there. The art and animation aren't shit. And the music is really good. The ending was kind of bland, but it's a good spot if it never gets another season.
I'm surprised nobody has picked up its license, other than some yuropoor UK group, after how popular it was. I'm guessing it's the nip companies that are at fault?
>>150372968
Subaru is one of the greatest MC's of all time. People who hate Subaru don't understand the true depth and realism of his brilliant writing.
>>150373034
>The only two things bad I can say about it is the "I love Emilia for no reason" shit
Not a detraction, that's a key point of Subaru's character you just don't understand.
>>150370281
Is it that time of the day again?
The anime adaptation was absolute shit in terms of adapting the characters and plot. Everything was butchered through hell and beck except for Emilia. The ones who took it the hardest was Subaru who made him look like a fucking sperg because of the lack of internal monologues that he is known for.
>>150373118
Why he fell for her to begin with is easy to understand. It's everything after that. I'll assume >>150373161 knows what he's talking about and consider it missing information.
>>150371675
Digibro says it's bad
>>150372541
Yeah no. I love this shithole but when it comes to taste /a/ is actually pretty fucking terrible.
>>150373242

>>150373242
>unironically watching youtube anime reviewers
>His brilliant writing
His entire motivation for 80% percent of the show was to save or impress Emilia
>>150371675
shitty cringe MC
For something you guys don't like you sure do love talking about it multiple times a day.
>>150373161
Not even that they took out all the scenes that emphasize that Subaru is just wearing a mask under all that cringe and memeflirting he does with Emilia. Then there is Priscilla telling Subaru to "drop his shitty act" that wasn't included either.
>>150373161
I have read quite a bit of the source material in Jap.
If anything the anime is an improvement.
>>150373535
Eh it a bit more than that. You later find out that his motivation involves nothing about Emilia. He just wanted to be a "hero" of an isekai story and treated everyone like some sort of set-piece and become the shining knight that will save his "silver-haired heroine" which ultimately shat in his face.
>>150373708
Nah the source material emphasizes just how much of a scummy human being he is, not some cringe sperglord that the anime portrayed.
What exactly is the appeal of this dogshit of an anime? Do you self-insert as the MC dying again and again and feel intense masochistic pleasure from it or something like that?
>>150373839
>self-insert as the MC
That's your firs mistake
>>150373868
Then actually liking this anime seems even stranger; it has zero appeal in terms of literally everything; whether in girls, OP/ED, plot and setting except for the opportunity to self-insert as getting killed repetitively and we both seem to agree that it's retarded. I guess that's why it's called Re:Zero
I wish the MC was Rance or Joseph Joestar
>>150374044
Not him but that's why fans of the series call the anime shit
>>150373218
It's not missing information.
>>150374044
Why do you think people kept saying the anime absolutely butchered so many things for the sake of pacing? The end-product felt rushed and there is no denying that.
>>150374222
Its not even pacing but its because they wanted to give the anime a "happy ending" and ship it off as a complete package. If we ever get a season 2 of the anime which dear god I hope we don't because of the absolute cancer that it brings they will have to backpetal a ton of things or pretend the first season never happened.
>>150374222
>waaahhh muh novels dialogues are incomplete!!11! shit adaptation!! need more episodes waahhh
Not this shit again. Everything in Re:Zero whether in anime or written form is simply trash that I'd rather watch/read Blog Horizon.
>>150374607
t. Someone who hasn't read it in written form
>>150371370
Exactly. And given how most of his character arc seemsto have been dealt with during this season, it really makes me wonder how the author plans on keeping things interesting and fresh beyond tip-toeing around the mystery of the Witch of Envy and throwing more Bishops at the main cast.
That's why I'm afraid the worst thing that could've happened to the story is having Subaru brush off his depression and turning into a typical big damn nerdy hero after getting a few words of encouragement instead of steadily working his way towards recovery.
This is actually something I would partially blame Rem for, since she just responds to Subaru's scathing self-examination by throwing her own idealized version of him in his face instead of reminding him that he's just one human amongst many others with his own flaws and qualities, and that he shouldn't feel like he's a piece garbo just because he isn't the grand hero he wanted to be when first entering this world, much in the vein of what he said to her near the end of the mansion arc.
I mean, I know there's an in universe for her never considering herself to be on equal footing with anyone in her life, but it doesn't make the whole resolution of Subaru's trauma feel any less cheap (and her suggestiong to erase everything and "start from zero" any less inappropriate).
After that it became increasingly hard for me to care about whatever happened for the remainder of the White Whale arc. I still like the show mind you, but to me episode 18 or rather its second half was one big misstep.
>>150370281
>exi-
Fuck
off
>>150374932
>throwing her own idealized version of him in his face instead of reminding him that he's just one human amongst many others with his own flaws and qualities
I can see how the anime might send that message but "From Zero" is literally the opposite of that. But that's what happens when you also butcher Rem's character too I guess. If you want to see the girl who gives him the most shit in the series its Rem.
>>150374932
>steadily working his way towards recovery
There was a time-skip during this actually.
>>150373035
It still amazes me that people can't understand that he acts like an autist because the dude legit has ptsd and keeps getting killed and everything he does fails.
>>150373634
they are invested due to the time spend watching the anime. Even the one's who hated it are invested in other shows which they feel are insulted by re zero being put next them in terms of praise. The investment stacks as they argue more and more.
Re zero revealed to me a lot about how people who review anime really dont know what they are doing. Of all the reviews the only one that mentioned on something as central to re zero as the theory crafting was Riyogaa
If you want to understand what watching re zero was like to a person who would give it a 10/10 I recommend this video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-0Z8fQMXtpM (if you are gonna watch just put it 1.5-2x speed).
It makes you sound much more "deep" when you bullshit about muh themes and character development. They were there but no way you would have made it through the first arc if that was all the show had.
Also the soundtrack is a big fucking deal, that reviewers always treat as an afterthought because they dont have a clue as to how to analyze them and talk for 2 hours about them to sound like a deepfaggot.

>Not Konosuba

>They don't even show Subaru's through processes at all through the entire story
>Didn't show the Satella visions
>Didn't show that Al is also from another world
>Didn't show that Rem was supposed to be dead and Ram is supposed to be the only Oni in existence
>Made Rem as "safe" as possible by not showing how she is equally as flawed as Subaru not to mention how she is one of the few characters that gives him a ton shit and criticisms despite having fallen for him
>Made Subaru's relationship with Rem as "safe" as possible by not showing those two idiots do stupid shit and smacking each other upside the head to correct each other.
Not to mention that they botched the ending because they wanted a "happy ending" which is not the tone neither is it the central theme of the series revolving around "tragedy". Plus many other things. By no means was the anime an improvement. You can straight up fuck off with that shit.
>>150379239
The anime was not an improvement for what it did to the narrative but for adding visuals voice acting and music to support and increase the impact of the narrative.
I will also add to your list the heavy skipping of how Subaru fixed stuff in episode 24 and made up with Julious. I never read LN of that part so it may be just as bad but I doubt it. episode 24 was in my opinion the worst of the entire show.
One of the best anime's I've seen, despite whitefox fucking up the source material.
In the event it gets a season 2 I hope they can fix it.
But if code geass gets a r3 despite having a concluding ending I think re:zero definitely deserves s2.
>>150371207
Subaru is loyal as fuck though.
How often do you read/watch an isekai where hte MC isn't a two-timing douchebag? The only other series where the MC is loyal to his waifu that I know is Arifureta.
At the very least Subaru is way better than Rudi. That one is a creepy motherfucker.
>>150382548
You are mistaken
>>150375689
Except when he saves everyone because everything worked, due to him redoing everything so many times.
I'm surprised he even cares when people die since he can redo everything until he gets the result he wants.
>>150382892
>I'm surprised he even cares when people die since he can redo everything until he gets the result he wants.
He actually can't. What is lost cannot be regained. That's literally what he tried doing in the second arc. You cannot gain back genuine experiences and interactions from lost loops. Knowing new information causes a butterfly effect.
>>150373634
Because you try to act it's good when it's not
>>150373035
Subaru is cringe
>>150382892
>Except when he saves everyone because everything worked, due to him redoing everything so many times.
Except he doesn't he lost Rem. Even killing himself to try and reset it, Satella is a bitch.

That sounds like you bucko, I have yet to see anything "spill" over. All I've been constantly seeing is shitposting threads with the same image macro all the damn time which are all coming from one or two people.
>>150371675
Rem was waifu bait. Didnt help that her character was botched due to time skips and uneven pacing. The mansion arc took half the season, but the whale was just a couple episodes. Pacing was bad, side characters came off as shallow because they didnt have enough screentime, and the smile scenes were over dramatic with rem, emilia, and the birds out of fucking no where. That being said, this was still my favorite aots. Subaru was such a piece of shit, it was refreshing. Not to mention how well explored his character was compared to other anime.

Do you actually think its that easy? Even Puck says its not that simple. If anything she might end up like Theresia and Subaru being forced to kill the woman he loves.
>>150384118
>However it is possible to create almost identical results or even improve them.
There is an AU for that, it doesn't end well. Plus you cannot experience things for the first time that you've already experienced. Imagine if Subaru had to loop back to when Rem fixed and confessed to him. Can you replicate or near-replicate that? Do you want to needlessly sacrifice that? Can you make that loop better?

Depends on your definition of "pure" since the only girl in the series that you can say for sure is pure is Emilia. Except she literally had the mental age of a 13 year old in a 17 year old body.

>>150386143
Perfect my man, you are not alone. It was below average, it was mediocre at best and the infernal pace was just the icing to a shit cake.
It felt like Umineko/Higurashi, only they replaced the slight pretension with extravagant bad ends as the focal point. And I can't say that's a direction I am a huge fan of.
>>150382548
>isn't a two-timing douchebag
Maybe in the anime. In the LN, a two-timing douche is exactly what he is. It's not even in the typical dense harem protagonist way of "accidentally" leading on multiple women. Rather, he actively sought out attention from a girl who he knew liked him, because he's an attention whore, while pursuing another girl.
Then, after deciding he should finally make things clear with the other girl and rejecting her, he tells her she make his heart race every time he sees her. I'm not even sure if that was even a day later. Then he ends up confessing his love to her before running off to the other girl to confess his love for her too.
He's literally a self-admitted two-timing scumbag, and is lucky that the girls who like him are both incredibly insecure and lack self-confidence. There's literally no other guy who can look at Emilia without seeing Satan incarnate, and Rem is his obsessive stalker. Still, I guess that's the only way it can work. You want your harem fantasy, you're going to need the cooperation of a couple of girls with severe emotional issues.
