>literally over 20 min of talking in the same location
I felt like it went on forever, especially because they kept repeating the same points just to emphasize the soap opera drama.
Why was this so bad while things like Monogatari manage to be entertaining? Is Shaft the only ones who know how to do heavy dialogue?
Jaxson Richardson
Monogatari is trash get some taste you chump.
Jackson Morgan
Aren't you tired of this yet? You've been doing this for quite a few days now.
Benjamin Russell
It's like seinfeld, except the comedy is unintentional and cringy
Ethan Young
I don't know what you are talking about, but i bet that it could also be applied to you.
Carson Richardson
It was an recap episode.
David Butler
Re:Zero is the greatest anime of all time faggot. Just because there is 1 bad episode doesn't make the whole show bad.
Justin Gonzalez
>implying this episode was bad
Aiden Martinez
>recap episodes >good
James Robinson
They knew exactly what they were doing. This episode was just more bait for hikkiNEETs to self-insert on a cross.
Jordan Robinson
Monogatari swishes back and forth between unrelated, almost pointless tangents with a layer of wordplay, perfect for entertaining ADHD fags like OP.
Anthony Lewis
>shit zero >only one bad episode
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Colton Rodriguez
Shaft are exceptionally good with Monogatari, it takes some fairly creative direction to make talking heads entertaining for so long. But re zero has always been mediocre so I don't know why you'd expect anything that good from it.
Dominic Rivera
Monogatari was boring as shit though.
Brandon Wood
This. Why compare dialogue in an Isekai LN adaptation to a show dedicated to making nonstop dialogue interesting.
Blake Parker
I fell asleep to monogatari far to often so I decided to drop it.
Isaac King
Go back to watching OPM normies.
Carter Hughes
This really hit home. And having a girl like Rem who could accept even someone like Subaru or me was really heartwarming. Rem best girl of the year all years.
Kevin Hall
>show don't tell >good anime pick none
Charles Rivera
I had to pause it when the doves came out of nowhere.
Jason Cooper
Except Subaru is still a good looking neat who isn't fat and can talk to girls normally. He is still far better than you.
Mason Perez
Don't you get it? They are symbolic. So deep!
But really, that was quite dumb.
Jordan Rodriguez
It was 24 minutes of Rem losing in a really hamfisted way. Personally I prefer Beako to either of them, but it really makes no fucking sense how attached Subaru is to Emilia unless you count Satella setting this shit up, but that's still retarded.
I would have accepted him not feeling anything for Rem, but what happened felt even more forced than Shirou's single-minded crusade for Sakura in HF.
Henry Peterson
Monogatari is fucking pretentious haremshit trash that tries to pass itself as something it's not.
The morals of Re Zero are clear, while Shitgatari is basically all style no substance pseudo intellectual bullshit. Nisemonogatari is in the top 5 worst anime I've ever seen.
Dominic Jones
>doves coming out from the ground
Literally the most forced scene I have seen in a long while.
Camden Howard
Yeah it's silly hiki self-insert wish fulfillment (she loves me totally even though I'm a complete fuckup!) lathered with melodrama about all the suffering he has to go through. All true. But I'm still enjoying it for some reason. I like that by and large the men are giving him realistic shit and telling him the truth, even if his harem can't stop worshiping or at least tolerating him.
Parker Sullivan
Subaru is absurdly good at talking to girls and people in general for a supposed self insert loser NEET. He's completely shameless about openly flirting, joking, teasing and touching girls, and easily befriends total strangers. The idea of any weeaboo on here thinking they're like him is hilarious, a guy like that would be very popular in real life.
Nolan Sanders
bahahaha >>shaft monogatari >>good
really? fucking collection of cg background with shit art direction is better than re:zero episode 18? try me user, such shit taste faggot
Aiden Gomez
Yeah, he's not a loser like Hachiman or Tomoko who are held back by their shitty personalities. He probably became a NEET because he lacked ambition.
Charles Harris
>>recap so this is how triggered feels, i know you have shit taste user, but shit attention span and low IQ as well? damn!
Bentley Martin
Re:Zero with Tomoko as MC. I'd watch that.
James Hughes
It looks more like shit writing, than witch magicks >okay Rem, to hell with this election, this kingdom, half elves, witches, spirits and shit. You, me, some backwater shithole and living in peace till we die of old age >sorry, but I really love Subaru the Retarded Hero, not Subaru the Dirtfarmer. What about you? >I actually love EMT
Sebastian Roberts
Good summary. I don't see why they needed 20 min for this.
Landon Howard
I had my WHAT? hands up in the air over that.
Cooper Gray
it's based off a light novel, you nerd
Xavier Cruz
This bait deserves a 2/10 because the OP manages to include shaft bait in an rezero bait.
Kyoani> SHAFT Re:zero> your favorite show
This objectively can't be argued.
Joshua Bennett
Wow, I can't believe there's actually someone else on this board who isn't borderline retarded as far as people who've watched the gatari series go.
Ryder Howard
Wew lad nice.
Caleb Barnes
Let's not falseflag now.
Asher White
> Good at talking to people. Dude, if I had a dude talk like Subaru in front of me, I'd break one of his fingers for being an idiotic loser that tries hard to be social. > NEET He's more of a recent truant.
Nathaniel Hall
>shaftfag gets triggered
Kevin Torres
>nise >not Neko
At least we got a lot of Karen.
Jackson Gutierrez
Yet everyone is super nice to him, whole village loves him, oni twins do complete 180, Beako goes MAXIMUM TSUNDERE, Puck is BBF with him, even after spergsplosion Clownfuck and EMT persuade catboi to heal his ass despite this making them indebted to their rival. His turbo-bonus to charisma turns off only when it would immediatly solve current primary problem.
Jaxon Brooks
>Yet everyone is super nice to him, whole village loves him >His turbo-bonus to charisma turns off only when it would immediatly solve current primary problem. It's not like he has actual charisma. He tries really hard to be liked so he forces himself on people and at the beginning it turns out well because of his apparent good nature. What happened with Emilia shows the result of being so forceful. It can only work for so long.
>ni twins do complete 180 Only Rem really did. Ram isn pretty much the same. Also not sure why you bring up Rem when this episode gave a pretty good justification for that.
>Beako goes MAXIMUM TSUNDERE, Puck is BBF with him uh no
>EMT persuade catboi to heal his ass despite this making them indebted to their rival. Yeah, just ignore how the first episodes established how Emilia goes out of her way just to help people.
Christopher Hernandez
And still, no loser on Sup Forums should be able to relate to his forcibly likable personality, which is the original point of this discussion. He's weird and abrasive but very outgoing, sociable and confident, which is the key to being popular with girls. Anons would shit themselves at the thought of casually flirting or getting an entire village to do aerobics with them, but they still like to imagine Rem would love them like she loves Subaru. They are deluded.
Benjamin Nguyen
>Sup Forums hates Re:Zero now
What gives?
Ryder Cooper
>Re:Zero is the greatest anime of all time faggot
lowqualitybait.jpeg
Jeremiah Bell
>now It was always hated for being isekai garbage and it will continue to be hated for now being overrated isekai garbage.
Evan Brooks
"Hardships of immortal NEET-detective in the world of magical demigods" turned into "Retarded bitch-nigga goes in circles and whines while more interesting stuff is hardly shown".
Easton Jenkins
>but they still like to imagine Rem would love them like she loves Subaru. They are deluded.
Please don't shit on my dreams user. They're all that stands between me and the noose I leave hanging in my closet.
Bentley Torres
>Sup Forums hates it
Yeah. That's why there were like 100 fucking threads on Sup Forums when this last episode aired. Because everyone hates it and nobody cares to watch it.
Samuel Ward
This, he's the typical "loser" protagonist who's still liked and attracts girls, much like Hollywood "losers" aren't that bad because most people can only tolerate them this way. But normalfags don't know any better so they pretend to know what they're talking about.
Andrew Allen
>implying Sup Forums doesnt watch shows it hates
Dominic Martinez
We can't properly shit on bad shows if we don't watch them.
Jackson Morris
Sup Forums likes waifu wars.
Henry Cruz
God, yes, it was by far the worst episode for this reason
I still like Re:Zero but that was the laziest shit
Lincoln Thompson
>a badly written waifubait who could accept someone as pathetic as you >best anything
Lucas Taylor
Sup Forums is obsessed with it right now but it's flavor of the month riding the popularity of it's waifus, it will be rightfully forgotten about when it's over.
Ryan Green
>waifubait Nice buzzword, Sup Forumsro.
Aaron Baker
Don't forget the shameful waifubait.
Xavier Ramirez
>Hey, this episode had literally 0 effort put into direction or adapting the work to fit the medium, might as well have been an audio drama
>LOL UR ATTENTAN SPAEN IS 3SHORT UR SO DUM 4 NOT LIEKN UNANIMAATD ANIMASHUN
William Brown
>And having a girl like Rem who could accept even someone like Subaru or me was really heartwarming. Rem best girl of the year all years.
Here lies the average Remfags. Just a fucking faggot who will accept whatever shit love him as his waifu. Because this little virgin faggot don't know, was an Alpha man means.
This little faggot don't even know what best girl means.
Leo White
>buzzword Nice buzzword, plebbit.
Jack Sullivan
yeaaaaaaaaaah I liked the episode and that was still just flat out bad.
Brayden Williams
>he's the typical "loser" protagonist who's still liked and attracts girls
Besides Rem, what girls has he attracted?
Jordan Roberts
It was the best episode so far, If you signed on for action you picked the wrong series.
Carter Wilson
It was like watching a fucking soup-opera.
John Edwards
I always love it when someone points out that half to female cast either thinks he's pathetic or hates him. It's weird how many people forget.
Connor Garcia
Symbolism isn't always about being deep, and this was about as unsubtle a symbol for hope and redemption as it gets. You've got a fucking light beaming from the heavens and everything. The only way it could be less subtle is if she had a halo and sprouted wings right then and there. >>sorry, but I really love Subaru the Retarded Hero Not quite. Like everything else in the episode, that was about hope. If a dirtfarmer was really what he wanted to be, she'd have agreed in an instant.
Colton Powell
>not liking soap opera tier dialogue with doves coming out of the fucking ground means i signed for action
ok
Jeremiah Richardson
>>I felt like it went on forever, especially because they kept repeating the same points just to emphasize the soap opera drama. so it's like reading typemoon shit?
Brody Murphy
No, I cant remember the last time they mentioned seafood.
Alexander Smith
It was a pretty boring episode what could've been summed up in 5 mins. So much for that hype of it and people didn't even notice that Puck mentioned the whale being gluttony to busy dealing with the fact Subaru chose best girl.
Benjamin Powell
It's been more action than romance, so don't get what you're trying to say
Kayden Evans
As far as we've seen on the anime.
Thomas Ortiz
Monogatari is written by a good author.
Jose Nguyen
Because Shinbou always adds flourish to his shots, and shoots from interesting angles, not switching between two profile shots back and forth
Dominic Bell
This guy must be pretty good though for the amount of success he's getting for just starting it
Nolan Anderson
Were you not here two days ago? Sup Forums loved it, the sheer positive reactions drowned the naysayers who then resorted to thread-spamming in an attempt to get Re:Zero discussion banned. Now that the praise died down the salty contrarians are up and running.
Noah Butler
He's certainly tapped into some sort of market, but not anything substantial. It's unlikely that this will have long term notoriety as anything other than the show that normalfags spammed the fuck out of.
Mason Smith
Greycat doesn't seem to write good SoL scenes. The extra chapters didn't turn out as good as I had hoped.
Nathan Murphy
You people always need something to complain about. Yes, the episode was poorly paced. Yes it was literally 20+ minutes of two people talking, but no it didn't feel like forever. It was very badly needed and it was executed very well. Toyota is suppose to be an autistic man-boy NEET on the edge of a complete mental breakdown and Rem can see signs of it happening. Did it go a little overboard with feelings into the territory of unrealistic dialogue? Yes, but it was very forgivable given the circumstances.
Logan Cook
Rem just wanted him to not run away and face the problem and didn't sense anything when he literally had a breakdown in front her
Joseph Harris
>Dude, if I had a dude talk like Subaru in front of me, I'd break one of his fingers for being an idiotic loser that tries hard to be social. I really wonder who's the antisocial one here
Evan Torres
I'm not sure I understand what you mean.
Cooper White
Satella is best girl.
>Satella will never stroke your heart and face with her shadowy embrace >Satella will never smother you with her dark stench >Satella will never love you unconditionally
Why does life have to be this way?
Chase Phillips
ayy
Austin Peterson
Rem couldn't sense he was breaking down because he was already broken and having a mental breakdown right in front of her. The episode could've been done better and summed up quicker than majority of the episode.
Connor Hughes
Someone needs to find out what the stench smells like.
Satella will never be mean to you and betray you. She is the reason he's still alive anyway he essiantly owes everything to her but yeah Satella best girl
Aiden Barnes
I still think that subaru saying that he loves Emilia after all that happened doesn't make sense. Must be the witch's spell then.
Dominic Ortiz
>while things like Monogatari manage to be entertaining Being boring as shit and long winded is the major reason it gets shat on though.
Brandon Flores
Please give me the reasoning as to why it doesn't make sense. The whole reason Rem loves him is because she got saved by him. The exact same reason he loves Emilia so if that doesn't make sense then neither does the theory he should be with Rem
Mason Thomas
Love doesn't make sense, son, or in this case, teenage infatuation.
Benjamin Johnson
Well when I said Rem can see signs of it I mean that as a way to justify Rem's part in that heart to heart they were having. I meant that over the past few days from her perspective Toyota has been very on edge, so it makes sense that it played out how it did.
Could it have been summed up quicker? Yeah, probably. Would that necessarily make the episode better? Maybe, I could see that being the case. Would that make the anime adaption as a whole better? No I think you have to pace the suffering and we've been on a long ride. A long healing session was overdue and the 20 minutes was forgivable and went by very fast because of it. Maybe it would be more annoying if you binge watched up to episode 18 instead of trudging through the suffering.
Noah Moore
Shitty writing.
Jayden Martinez
>the 20 minutes was forgivable Not when they made a big deal out of how much air time the episode was getting
Elijah Morgan
It was good to improve there relationship and help build his stability up and mentality. I've been watching it weekly and it's been suffering enough with these cliff hangers and hype endings. I mostly didn't enjoy it because I enjoy seeing all how the enemies and others interactions and watching how he changes what he says or interacts with instead of just talking about a relationship that she even knew wasn't going to happen. I like the points you've made though
Jayden Fisher
Adding on to what I said like the other user mentioned they way overhyped it for something majestic and awesome instead was just literal talk for 20 minutes
Julian Perez
Rem murdered him multiple times and also treated him like shit until recently.
