When SAO came out, everyone was frothing to either praise the show or bash it to bits. Eventually I finally got around to it and found myself pretty much indifferent.
Is ReZero the same shtick? Is it actually worth the time to love it or at least love hating it? I fell sleep halfway through the first episode and still have the nagging suspicion that it's just trying to be an edgy genre "deconstruction".
For what its worth, I eventually dropped KonoSuba when the jokes became identical to me.
Don't bother with it if you didn't like the first ep OP.
Also I'm sure this has been asked a billion times on this board, but I'm a normie and none of the sites I've read have provided any real reason other than "IT'S DARK, BUT REALLY GOOD"
Alright, thanks. I hate making snap judgments on shows, since I'm sure I would have gave up on things like Steins;Gate early on.
I think Re:Zero is definitely going down the SAO path, not that I have a problem with that. Though I think Re:Zero is wrote a bit better, so far at least.
Did you watch both parts of the first episode?
No and I know it definitely turns darker, but that alone isn't enough to get me interested. Like I hated Akame Ga Kill but really enjoyed Pyscho-Pass and would consider both 'edgy'.
I watched the first ep, dropped it for few months, watched till ep 3, liked it and now I want to fuck Felix.
Oh and I also like the series.
Just watch the show or don't. If you're bored to death while watching the first episode then just drop it. Maybe lurk the gorillion other threads that discuss the show instead of making another ass thread that will inevitably end in waifuposting.
>When SAO came out, everyone was frothing to either praise the show or bash it to bits.
People on Sup Forums praised SAO?
You've already convinced yourself to hate it so why even bother to ask?
Idiots praised SAO; the same idiots that are confused as to why those idiots used to praise SAO.

Oh okay, the first half is pretty generic intentionally but I can't say whether or not you'll like the direction it goes. If you're so hesitant maybe wait til it's over and see what people say about it then, but the only issue with that is this board is going to be plagued with spoilers because of what happens in the final episode.
You're autistic enough to let comments on the internet dictate what you do so I don't think it's for you, in fact, I think you should kill yourself.
Psycho Pass definitely handled death better than Akame ga Kill, so I would say Re:Zero is closer to Psycho Pass in that regard. As the whether Re:Zero is edgy or not, I would say it paces the dark moments pretty well, so it doesn't come off as despair porn.
Before the 1st season aired, the LN threads were full of them.
Emilia can't even beat fucking Ram

If you can't tell the difference between edgy and deconstruction, then there's no hope for you.
Only thing people go wild about is the gimmicky MC, girls and deaths. It gets the reddit and tvtropes crowds going. Just drop it.
That's just what happens when you're the twin sister of absolute perfection. She's so perfect that not only does she not exist on the 3D plane, she ascended out of existence on the 2D plane as well.

Main character is your typical white knight cuck, but has no redeeming qualities other than the fact you get to see him die multiple times... he trains but you don't see much progression in him, he's your typical average joe 17 yr old and actually feels like that based on many of his decisions
Animation quality is 3/5. Uses cg a lot for fight scenes. Imo the fight scenes are done quite well, but audio lets it down, sometimes you see hits with no sound effects
There's too much lovey dovey slice of life moments, 17 episodes could be done in 7
Avoid this trash
How do Puck's legs feel?
MC is not Reinhart. Disappoint. Rewatching blackswordsman and rereading moe berserk.
You should try the 2nd half before making a judgement. I watched the first half and thought it sucked and then watched the second half a few weeks later and ended up liking it a lot. It's definitely better than AgK at the very least.
Watch the first 5 episodes
If you absolutely hate it, then drop it.
If you are indifferent keep watching.
I dont think any manga is as good as berserk based on story, main character, even depictation of the berserk world
re:zero is shit because muh suffering for shock value all the time

I'm watching for the delicious males and breakdown of a person's pride.
up to this point the story is very entertaining (even more so if you have not been spoiled on anything). We will have to see how well they adapt the all of what they adapt before making final judgement but I think you should watch it. It is currently the only anime I really look forward to the next episode airing
I don't usually follow anime as it's airing, how to people usually get the newest episode? Just regular torrent stuff?
just finished ep17 so I was hoping to watch the new one tomorrow
>normie
Fuck off.
This entire thread is filled with trash answers, but OP deserves it anyway for asking Sup Forums if he should watch something.
How will Suzuki deal with Puck being right there when he wants to have a quick fuck with Emilia?
...
Best girl giving MC a BJ. No edges here
Puck seems pretty bro. He'd probably give pointers - "If you started rotating your hips at the end of each thrust, you'd scrape her G-spot and she'd orgasm faster." Then they'd high-five or something.
I bet this is exactly how it would work out
Why does he look so angry if she's giving him a bj?
teeth. sharp cat teeth
No, it's shit.
Fuck off.
Sup Forums is managing to produce a bit of actual discussion in spite of the shitposting flood, that should be a good first sign.
Like me, you might have to actually try watching it before you see what makes this different from just another isekai SAO clone. Once you get into it, the series feels more like Higurashi and Steins;Gate's bastard child wearing the skin of the isekai genre.
Not op but apparently I watched 6 episodes before I realized 1a and 1b werent just the same episode with different subs.
I was expecting another SAO clone so I didn't bother, but after I saw ReZero was still popular on Sup Forums into the second season I decided to check it out.
I enjoyed it quite a bit. I think the main character is very different from the stereotypical overly powerful self-insert character you typically see in shows like this. Overall, I didn't find it particularly edgy compared to other, similar shows.
Yeah. The first episode was basically a two parter that they showed in a one hour time block.
Would he help out?
>Re:Zero isn't edgy
Well, if we take shit like magic and medieval style, there's bound to be some rather violent things but don't tell me stuff like episode 5 death wasn't edgy.
It was just violent, if violence is edgy than Homer was the world's first coldsteel.
>than
Yeah, or you could watch it on one of those ass streaming sites.
It was certainly violent and bloody, but I don't feel it was particularly edgy in comparison to shows like Higurashi or Steins;Gate. It's kind of a standard that shows like that have a fair amount of blood, gore and horrible deaths.
I don't think he'd give her his D, but Puck would probably play with her boobs and do whatever else he could to help heighten her mood. He'd be like the ultimately wingman.

It's a show that's hellbent on making the protag go through as much shit as possible. It's edgy. Doesn't mean I don't like it.

Still not seeing it. I'm watching it for a man slowly lose his pride.
There's a fine line I guess of what we can see just for the sake of violence. But the violence so far has been pretty predictable. It wasn't shock factor as that would be element of surprise. In fact, we knew what was going to happen.
Also no consequences because le epic death reset
The fact that you've already watched the first ep means this post is nothing but bait.
Not really if you actually intending to at once detest a show prior to watching it.
No one gets to enjoy something if they go in and actually think "What the fuck are people raving about this shit? See? It's just the fucking same."
Unless you actually try to watch it as a stand alone and stop comparing it first, you won't get your fair assumption on one.
Watch fist. Compare it later when it feels like it's the right time.
You get to enjoy more shows that way and actually have a fair opinion on those you dropped.
That's only if you decide to use it to avoid problems. Have we seen Subaru kill himself at every mistake? No. He tries to live it out as long as he can. In episode 7, he didn't want to off himself and stood at the cliff the whole day.
Why is the cat blushing?
Now why would he do that?
It's getting off and fantasizing to murdering everyone in the manor.
He's not certain he has infinite lives frodo-kun and there's a toll every time he does. Plus it's not just that easy to kill yourself
>they included a dead Emilia in the poll
Top fucking kek
So is there a trump like candidate in the running for queen? Or are the election threads fooling me? I may just watch for her.
It depends on how you look at it sure he'll eventually pull it off because of the nature of his power but the focus is on the change to the characters instead. Resets have an effect on the protagonists motivations and they give enough depth to side characters to completely change your views and opinions of them. In 15 it wasn't the fact that Rem died that made people sad, she had already died twice before that point, it was how and the lengths she pushed herself for Subaru.
The main consequence falls only to the MC, he fucks up in eps 12, 13 and the beginning of 14 because he thinks his ability to reset makes him god but then the end of 14 and 15 happen and he understands there is weight to it.
>white knight cuck
You mean Elliot Rodger type. And if it ends in that path, I would give it a solid 10. Let the whole fantasy world die
