Sup Forums's impressions on Re:Zero?

I thought it started off "shit" but later progressed into "good shit"

It sounds like something I'd enjoy, but I'm afraid it will be another unresolved LN anime. I won't watch until there's news of another season.

Boring, dropped it after three episodes.

Good but I wish the source was translated instead of people posting spoilers

First episode was cute but boring until he got murdered. Then I was interested in seeing what he'd do different, and it's been a good show since.

MC started off annoying but grew up within like 2 episodes so that was nice.

thought it was going to be konosube2.0 with the first episode

that illusion was discarded fucking fast

AOTS for me, not counting jojo

It's okay. Interesting gimmick for isekaishit but that's about it.
I've gotten tired of the looping shtick ages ago and none of the characters really stir any sort of heavy emotions in me.

I will say that it's very well-directed though.

Yeah I originally dropped it but then decided to watch a few more which is when it went from "shit" to "goot shit"

Indeed the directing is quite good.

It's a really good read 85% recommended

so far it's cucked two unique ideas i had for a light novel

I didn't start watching it based on the premise.

Where can I read the fanfics senpai

I've enjoyed it since the beginning and now I'm reading the novels.

A friend of my send me the novel's sorry

Has anyone seen the ANIMATION for tomorrow's ep? Damn, they really owed us this after the latest episode.

...

I really liked it
Cause I'm not an animeonly fag. That being said, the show was pretty good aside from the slight changes and toning down.

True Wild ride soon

This except I like the loli.

>Check summary to see what's the big deal about.
>Another "boy trapped in a videogame" story.

Pass.

he's not trapped in a video game

AOTY

Tomato, Potato.

Nah, it's a real world. no video game mechanics. The save point and reboot stuff is just a metaphor for what is actually time-travel.

This is sort of where I'm at as well. The characters have actual traits, but they feel glue-gunned on rather than tying together in any kind of organic way. The scene can be super pretty, well-paced and all, but when you actually get to the whammy "feel things HERE" moment, it just falls flat for me.

Having heard roughly what we're in for, it just seems like torture porn, presumably to make the happy ending all the more triumphant. I'm not sure I'm up for that.

Time travel isn't exactly right if it were time travel then all the things he did after the "save point" would have been reset but there were times when that didn't happen and stuff remained the same after he got sent back. The "time travel" works more like a respawn feature in a video game.

Those are so different on so many aspects that your allegory does not help you. The tomato is scientifically considered a fruit, first of all.

that's kinda what i mean. he's sent over to an alternate universe but it's also back in time.

The 2nd half of the first episode was the best it ever was. It just got worse and worse.

Every event in the story does reset as far as I know. Time travel is exactly what the MC is doing. Can you specify what things you found remained the same even after he got sent back?

It's not time travel. It's time leap.

It's time shimmy.

Can you specify what you believe is the difference? Time leap is typically synonymous with time travel.

AOTY

next episode looks to have GODLIKE animation

>inb4 trapped in an mmorpyghjg

you have no idea what you're talking about

Thought it would be good until dying time travel shit.

>shit fox
>god-like animation

Now this is a meme.

Time travel : the body travels as well, giving way to time travel paradoxes and shit.
Time leap: the conscious alone travels from a point in time to another. The user cannot exist in several places at the same time.

Well if the MC himself got sent back then he would still injured would he not? Maybe we could say his memories are getting sent back, or we can just say its working like a video game.

so sorta like Quantum Leap

i don't really pat attention to what studio makes what, unless i can't avoid hearing about it because it's a meme studio

but you could at least watch the PV for the next episode before spouting nonsense

Basically these, the time looping power is interesting but it has been done before and better in other anime. The fight choreography is handled really well but when I feel nothing for these flat characters the scene loses any kind of weight. But most importantly is the apparent lack of an actual goal. Why is the main character suffering constantly? Is it to protect these cardboard characters he met just days ago? Does he have any actual goal other than "I gotta mamarou muh nakama" if not than it will inevitably turn into another unresolved LN show like described and any progress will either be lost because of no continuation or still unseen because of the lack of an actual goal.

I was ambivalent about it at first because I'm always concerned about the potential of any isekai story to turn into a generic self-insert fantasy battle harem. Having said that, the second half of the first episode definitely drew me in, and I have to say that I love the idea of a feature-length opening episode. Really cool stuff.

Once it hit the end of episode 4 (and something something WN spoilers I wish I hadn't accidentally read) I realised that this series is going down the exact road I was hoping for it to. Far from turning into a generic battle harem, it has instead been transforming into a very dark psychological thriller.

Since then it has basically been getting better with each new episode, and a big part of that is how the main characters have really been getting a lot of development, especially in the last handful of episodes. Biggest potential for AOTY this year, and I can't wait to see where the next arc takes the story.

>the time looping power is interesting but it has been done before and better in other anime
Such as?

Time looping is a thing which I've seen done a few times, but the only other instance in which I've seen a series try to explore the psychology of being stuck in a time loop is arguably ~ episode 13 of S;G. Apart from that it's usually just used as a fun plot device or an excuse to tell a story anachronistically.

>muh MC suffering this is too sad!
>MC is realistic! he is just depressed!

It is honestly okay, but I don't think I've run into a more annoying and delusional fanbase.

Fucking damn it now I'm really excited about the prospect of watching the next episode and there's still well over a day to wait for it.

>I don't think I've run into a more annoying and delusional fanbase
You haven't seen the Kiznaiverfags.

>muh MC suffering this is too sad!
It is emotionally gripping though. I can get someone being unable to take the story seriously because of some sort of (often as of yet unexplained) plot point which is bugging them, but it seems like there are plenty of other people who are simply scared of letting a piece of media connect with the emotional state and act defensive and pre-emptively write off anything dark as 'edgy' in their mind all so they don't get hurt.
>MC is realistic! he is just depressed!
MC is a neet yet extroverted - and that's explained by the fact that he acts like an annoying chuunibyou. What's wrong with that? It's a character trait which is internally consistent with his backstory.

>You haven't seen the Kiznaiverfags.
The main thing I find hilarious about that lot is when they act like the only conceivable way to have realistic character development is if it occurs at an obnoxiously slow pace.

Pretty much. I can at least see why people like and think that it's an AOTS contender. I can respect that but it's just not for me, I just don't think it's that compelling a show.

>I can at least see why people like and think that it's an AOTS contender. I can respect that but it's just not for me, I just don't think it's that compelling a show.
Funnily enough, as one of those people who thinks Re:Zero is an AOTS contender, you just described exactly how I feel about Kabaneri.

Kabaneri is hot garbage anyway. I don't think anybody actually thinks that could be AOTS.

Or he just finished watching Steins;Gate

>but it seems like there are plenty of other people who are simply scared of letting a piece of media connect with the emotional state and act defensive and pre-emptively write off anything dark as 'edgy' in their mind all so they don't get hurt.

Save the laughable psychoanalysis. You are exactly the type of fan I was referencing.

Believe me the next arc is when shit get's. Serious

>Sup Forums's impressions on Re:Zero?
Same as you, but in reverse.

The time loop is not actually a time loop. Every time MC dies, he gets dimensional hopped to a parallel world to a previous point. The original world(s) where the MC dies still continues as if he had died.

>You are exactly the type of fan I was referencing.
Then you've called me delusional, and yet you are the one who skipped over the reasoning and justification I gave and tried to reduce the conversation to simple epithet-slinging.

Re:Zero does have some very annoying fans though: the ones who constantly post spoilers of what's going to happen next. They turn Re:Zero threads into spoiler-minefields.

Some of those fans that are spoiling try to tell them why did this happen or something else to appease the shitposter that call it a plot hole. Then the shitposters complain about something else and then the spoilerfags try to explain through spoilers and it goes on to a cycle.

Has great girls in it.

Yeah I hate those guy's

Your psychoanalysis is literally the weakest defense you could ever raise for your show. It's obnoxious and, for the most part, false.

I liked it a bit at first, but really feel like it's just gone downhill and lost any real kind of distinct direction.

Nothing that any of the characters do or so, or even anything that happens, feels like it means a damn thing. The entire last arc has just been: mc makes dumb quips while bumming around in a mansion with some indistinct goal for saving someone or something (seriously this shit changes like every episode) and then just dies at the end and restarts.

Like, why? Wasn't he obsessed with the silver hair one? Why is he then putting all this effort into saving the maids? And then the village kids? Why is he doing anything? I guess you could say 'he's just a caring dude who wants to save people' but fuck that. Shit story with some seriously fucking cringy writing. The exact same tripe that anime fans normally eat up and call the best thing ever every single season.

He's a real human bean, who likes other human beans. If they're gone he's sad. Do YOU like being sad? Do YOU like seeing people you care about die or cease to exist?
You sound like you have legit autism trying to comprehend how human emotions work.

You sound like you don't like moralfags or something.

>Your psychoanalysis is literally the weakest defense you could ever raise for your show.
I wasn't even defending the show with it; it's more like I was creating a contrast between a valid and an invalid reason to dismiss it as not being an emotional series. The main point of that post was when I brought up how Subaru's character is consistent with his backstory, and it's therefore not sensible to dismiss his character as unrealistic without at least justifying yourself.

>It's obnoxious and, for the most part, false.
Every bluntly stated unpleasant truth feels obnoxious to those who hear it, so calling a defense obnoxious as though that's a legitimate criticism of it is a really weird thing to do.


As an aside, it's easy to imagine a weaker defense: If someone claimed that Re:Zero was a good show because 'the isekai setting is a fresh and interesting one', I'd probably laugh at them.

Annoying LNfags made me skip this one

No, actually, that defense would, at the very least be a defense of the show, instead of this psychoanalysis crap which is essentially just you throwing your hands up and saying that the person only dislikes it because of their mindset or because of some sort of inability to empathize, which is just silliness.

>Wasn't he obsessed with the silver hair one? Why is he then putting all this effort into saving the maids? And then the village kids? Why is he doing anything? I guess you could say 'he's just a caring dude who wants to save people' but fuck that.
I'll tell you why. Thanks to being able to go back in time and save people, Subaru is now partly responsible for determining who lives and who dies. If he manages to advance the save point without saving someone, they're dead forever, and if he could have potentially saved them and still advanced the save point, it would be his fault and his burden to live with.

I'd like to think that I would have also had the guts to (only an episode 7 spoiler) jump off of that cliff in the loop when Rem was the one who died from the curse instead of Subaru.

Because Subaru has attachment problems and a fear of abandonment. Honestly, have some patience. This is not a 12 episode anime. It's a very long story that has barely started. You have to wait for things to get explained, like Subaru's backstory and the reason why he acts like this.

To everyone who's complaining about Arc 2, be patient and wait for that Arc 3 (world building, character development, awesome battles... and yes, much more suffering).

>just you throwing your hands up and saying that the person only dislikes it because of their mindset or because of some sort of inability to empathize
That's not at all what I said. Don't slander me by pretending that I write nonsense like that.

I'll make it clear for you again:
I said that it seems like some people are quick to dismiss things which are dark or painful as simply being edgy, and gave two possible contrasting reasons for why someone would do so, one of which I consider more sensible than the other.

You seem to have lost sight of what you're even complaining about in regard to Re:Zero.

Well-directed and has nice sakuga at times.

I have nothing to say about the story itself though.

Strong AOTS or even AOTY contender; it's definitely the best anime with time travel since S;G - both shows actually explore the psychological implications of such events rather than pass it off as typical tough-guy hero bullshit.

This guy knows his shit, listen to him

...

Interesting but I can't give one single shit about the characters.

I started this show and expected it to be my dumb fun show of the season, god was i wrong. In the end I ended up enjoying it way more than I expected. Certainly not the best show of the season but I would say that it is at least worth the watch.

he's just saying that's the kind of show he expected. your usual " drop someone modern in a video game setting"

Just another generic LN #100000 wrote by an underage retard for underage self-insert otaku.

Funny thing you all bitch about "elitism" disliking shit like nurutu and sao and then enjoy this pile of shit.

You seem like a tryhard faggot lmao. Get some better taste and stop trying to be superior because you will always be a beta little shit.

you must be 18 to post on this website

This is the average fan of Re:Sao. I knew I was right anyway but didn't expect them to be such a kind of living aborts, holy shit.

go eat your cereal, user. It's going to get soggy. You're just grumpy because you haven't had breakfast yet. Maybe you should go post on facebook. That's probably more your speed and you don't need to be 18.

It's fucking garbage, go back to red.dit with anyone else who likes this trash.

>I have no arguments so I'll just talk shit.
good one faggot. The show is good fun and you are just showing how shit your taste is. Stop being such a whiny little shit and learn to have some fun.

what would you consider good then?

>Believe me the next arc is when shit get's. CENSORED

Fixed

I would need to be as retarded as you to find the "fun" in absolute dogshit shows like this one.

You're a faggot who likes Sao:Zero 2.0 and you think you have the right to call anyone else's tastes shit.

Stop being pissy becaue I am shitting on your new wish-fulfillment medium, you slut.

>Sao:Zero 2.0
many keks were had
SAO kek
at least we know you haven't watched it.

>Stop being pissy becaue I am shitting on your new wish-fulfillment medium, you slut.

You are now aware that all stories are wish-fulfillment.

>kek

Go back to

go back to facebook

>you slut
I wish

But seriously this show is nowhere near as bad as SAO and is pretty damn enjoyable, not amazing but not shit. Its too bad that you're such a fucking pseud and cant enjoy anything that isn't DEEP enough for you.

thats what people talk about SAO at first

Hey leave that poor underage minor alone desu

nah, fuck im

this anime full of cringefest..enjoy because of comedy

you enjoy anime? go back to

It will be good if Subaru is not too obsessive with Emilia like that.

The problem with that is that Emilia is his prime motivation beyond staying alive.

She looks like a burn victim. Where is her upper lip?

I did what I could I'm going to call the authority's

it's simply smaller. it's not altogether uncommon.
