Why is Re: Zero is so popular and highly rated?

Why is Re: Zero is so popular and highly rated?
It's pretty bland show with only Rem being interesting and lovable character.
Until the very end I was hoping that they'd give any kind of explanation why the fuck did Subaru get moved to the fantasy world. Anything, any funny nonsensible shit would be ok, like in KonoSuba, for example. I was disappointed.
Rem is cute though.

I want to pet Rem tenderly

And hug her afterwards.

Rem is most of the appeal, that along with the fantasy setting.
But even in the LN it's still not revealed why he was moved to that world.

But it did give us the eternal best girl.

Rem is nothing more than yet another submissive loyal waifu bait created only for wish fulfilment purposes. I don't get why she's considered above the rest of her kind.

because rem is muh waifu.

Who's Rem?

>why do normies have shit taste and like bland shows
Gee I wonder why

I enjoyed the first 6-8 episodes a lot to the point where Rem kills Subaru for the 2nd time, after that it started to take a dive in quality and final episodes barely felt the same anime in both directing and production value.

I only heard of Re: Zero because of Felix, that fucking neko trap that people wanna fuck for some reason.

the dude ain't even gay

Re;zero is the most fun I have had since fucking years, it kinda reminded me of Higurashi. It fell apart once Subaru stopped being a pussy though.

Waifu

mainstreaming

did anyone even like Emilia

>loser MC to encourage loser audience to self-insert
Check
>waifubait that will always love and be 100% loyal and devoted no matter what
Check
>appropriate setting to appeal to the pseudo-intellectual reader who thinks that edginess = dark and deep
Check

See, rezero has all the qualities necessary for a novel to be popular

every quality that she has is completely outmatched by Rem, it's actually kind of sad for her

cuz waifu

Me

>the dude ain't even gay
The fuck you mean he isn't gay
Sure, we don't have any confirmation, but he's more likely than not, seeing as we see him groping Subaru while he heals him near the beginning of the Sloth arc, and he also does this

Ferri loves Crusch-sama.

who is this "Rem" everybody is talking about?

>loser MC to encourage loser audience to self-insert
>self-inserting as "I DESERVE THIS", "YOU OWE ME MORE THAN YOU COULD EVER REPAY", and "THE KNIGHTS ARE JUST POSERS ANYWAY"
>inb4 you all view this as self-insert material because you really are just that lacking in self-awareness and humility

>waifubait that will always love and be 100% loyal and devoted no matter what
>waifubait kills him twice, and he outright tells waifubait that he wants to fuck the elf

>appropriate setting to appeal to the pseudo-intellectual reader who thinks that edginess = dark and deep
>people getting killed is edgy

>Why is Re: Zero is so popular and highly rated?
It looks good in comparison to the other shit in the same genera.

...

Not even Subaru knows who Rem is.

fuck the fog and fuck that whale too. they can go make clones of eathocher and fuck off and have gay clone-sex somewhere else.

It's a mystery with waifu of the year.

I liked the show, even if I wanted to skin Impreza-kun alive for being an annoying shit.

...

>the dude ain't even gay
He's not?

Kono subarashii is masterpiece compared to rezero btw tbhqw
inb4 not the same genre

No.

Ferri loves only Crusch-sama.

>no re zero episode today

>be in japan
>see lots of re:zero themed places
>most of solo Rem stuff is sold out
>have to get group shit
never seen a single character carry a show that hard

>tfw your rem wall scroll comes in

>It's pretty bland show with only Rem being interesting and lovable character.
Who's Rem? Also, we don't need lovable characters. We need assholish MC, assholish mastermind and his teacher, and assholish asshole.

Secondary market Rem stuff is also twice the price of Ram stuff.

rezero is better than most isekai at avoiding the pitfalls of the isekai genre.

this
if remfag could explain this

Fujos are carrying the series though.

Every other character is even blander or plain cringe so she stands out

>"I DESERVE THIS"
>lacking in self-awareness

Literally Smartphone

Sure, Remfag. Watching Rem on screen was pure cringe, her lust for the MCs cock was pathetic. Emilia was enjoyable.

>Rem
>submissive
why care about bland bait?

>Kono subarashii is masterpiece compared to rezero btw tbhqw
Both are garbage

>Emilia was enjoyable
who was that again?

>beako
>echidna
>otto
>roswaal
>garfiel
>juice and fortuna
but for animeonly, yes, she was one of the three intesting characters.

She let Subaru take control of her from episode 14 to 17 iirc.

that unremarkable half-elf

Barusu

The heroine and the one who the MC loves.

>meme humour and shit animation: the anime
No thanks

her family.

>animeonlys
isn't she by far the most popular character for WN and LN readers as well?

>Tfw i don't even know why people hate Subaru that much to this day

No one is talking about Rem's popularity.

what? she ditched him in every loop

Re zero is the best isekai

yes, but she's hardly considered the only non-bland/non-cringey character.

because rem;zero is a deconstruction of the isekai genre

>most popular character for WN and LN readers as well?
She hasn't been in both WN and LN for 3 years. Everyone has already forgotten her

Rem is a bland waifubait. There is really nothing more left of other than her lust for MCs dick.

>heroine
is she? she seems more like a poster girl, you know the ones who bait you into picking up a show and then fuck off in the background and let the others do the story

Is this Betelgeuse?

Not really. Except for the first loop, she obeyed and listened to everything he said even though he was clearly not right in the head the whole time.

>she seems more like a poster girl, you know the ones who bait you into picking up a show and then fuck off in the background and let the others do the story
That's Rem.

yep.

Emilia has some huge ties to some mysteries in the story. Her arcs haven't started yet.

and what did she do then? ditched him. same when the whale attacked

She sacrificed herself for that guy even when it wasn't worth it. That's clearly being submissive.

should we expect new rezero seasons?

I think you mean
>with only subaru being interesting and lovable character.

so basically bait, ok

how? She had even had the title drop

>has known the MC for like a month
>I believe I was born for this moment she says as she jumps to die to the Whale
She is a massive waifubait and her love for Subaru is so pathetic and badly done.
>I'll be your 2nd wife uguu
Fucking pathetic.

>bland shounenblob
>lovable

>so basically bait, ok
Secondaries trying to partake in discussion, everyone.

Yes. The season 2 is in the making I think.

I just love Groundhog Day. I also liked Edge of Tomorrow, despite it being kinda bad.

>Subaru
>Bland
Have you ever watched Re:Zero?

Edge of tomorrow wasn't bad though?

Rem's ugly face is everywhere, but she has been in coma for years and many arcs. She fucked off in the background.

No it's not. It still falls in the same tropes of every other Isekai, just this with a more humane MC instead of a bland character that the audience can self-insert.

>shounenblob
he's absolutely stereotypical shounen main character with his inspiring speeches and forced manliness

being in coma is different than being there and doing nothing

Wow I bet you also liked re:zero you nerd

>inspiring speeches
he despairs far more often than he does inspiring speeches.

>It still falls in the same tropes of every other Isekai
Which tropes and how?

Stop talking and go back to sleep potato.

I love Emilia spoiler I would eat her poo

just shows you how much impact she had if she's still the fav character of the majority of the fanbase

I am gar for Otto

why does it bother you? I didn't say she was perfect, that scenes just how much she can still grow desu and holy shit you're obnoxious and toxic

otto was the true heroine of arc 4.

Way I see it, Re Zero tricks people into self inserting into Subaru, then shows them how their wish fulfilment would play out in a more realistic/blood thirsty setting. Still can't stand to watch it myself, though. I already get the point, and it's like having to wait for an annoying relative to grow up.

It doesn't.

It does.

Which tropes are you talking about?

Maybe people will stop if you stop attacking Emilia for no fucking reason, ESL.

get trolled

It does
