Re: Zero - Starting Life in Another World

Re: Zero is proof that the Isekai genre will never die. It always gets reincarnated into something better, and this anime is proof of all that. It's thrilling, psychological, action, and everything anime has to offer. It starts out like a typical isekai, MC, goes to other world blah blah blah, but it's more than that. It literally strains the characters to the brink but yet still keeps a sense of self. Also, the character interactions in this anime are so well played out and wonderfully worded. Just from the dialogue alone, Re: Zero brings heartfelt friendship and sacrifice to the table that other anime have not done before. The characters are so memorable, Subaru, Rem, Emilia, Ram, and so much more! I can't wait to see more of this amazing show!

Re:Zero is truly one of the most unique and intriguing anime out there. It's very underrated, but I think it's because a lot of people don't understand it. It was during my rewatch that I myself started to understand the show. It's extremely complex so you need to make sure to watch it when fully focused.

Its biggest strength is for sure the character writing. Re:Zero uses realistic psychological reactions to change and shape a character. The characters their actions are always justified with some sort of psychological reason as to why they take said action. Many characters struggle with trauma, it changes their behavior, and the way they look at the world and others. The characters have to live with the trauma and have to try and overcome it. This makes Re:Zero their characters feel more like actual humans.

The world is wonderfully crafted with extensive lore and history. It's full of mystery which makes you speculate and theorize about the world and lore.

Re:Zero has a lot of emotional and thought-provoking moments, which can even change the way you look at life itself.

I would mainly recommend this for people above 18 years old. Not only because of the gore, violence, and traumatic events, but also because people younger than 18 probably won't understand it completely. You really need to have a more developed brain to understand the intricacies of the character writing, and to understand the philosophical and psychological themes.

The only reason I ever started this series was because of the incredible things I've heard about episode 15. I constantly hear many call it one of the greatest episodes of all time, and after watching it, I instantly placed it in my top 6 best episodes of all time. Episode 15 of Season 1 is truly a masterpiece. Then after watching episode 15, I still continued to watch the series, and even though there's no episode that's as good as episode 15, the series is still amazing, and it just keeps getting better and better. This truly is one of the most underrated series I've ever seen. Season 2 is amazing and is easily the best season of the series, and Season 3 is great and has some of the best animation and action in the series. Anyway, the thing I want to talk about the most right now is Subaru. At the beginning of the series, he's incredibly annoying and is easily the most insufferable protagonist I've ever seen. I actually despised him, but him being annoying and insufferable at first was actually intentional. Towards the end of Season 1, his character changes a lot, and he goes from this incredibly hateable character to one of the coolest and most well-written protagonists I've ever seen, and his character keeps on getting better and better every season. Subaru is an absolutely incredible protagonist, and he's now currently in my top 7 best protagonists of all time at the moment. I definitely recommend anyone who reads this review to give this series a watch, this series might be slow at first, but as I said, episode 15 is absolutely incredible, and the later seasons are definitely better than the first. Overall, Re: Zero is an amazing series!

What can I say i have been captivated by the plot twists this anime has. It has put me in a roller coaster of emotions. It's so good. Never have I been so intrigued. Highly recommend even at this point, 8 episodes in. Not only that episode are and hour long. Just mind blown. The characters show immense growth in such a short period of time. The animations are great. The way Subaru has to go through so many obstacles at this point has left me in awwww, and still manages to make it out of all the downfalls he has faced so far has led to me to really admire his character in this anime. I know anyone who's gives it a chance will too!

I've been watching re:zero for a while now and have only now thought about writing a review, Let me just say anyone who hates subaru or say he never develops either hate him because they watched 2 episodes or are just lying, he is the most human character I've ever seen, the same people who hate on re:zero are the same people who are to blame for the same generic overpowered, genius, harem protagonist like every other isekai, they are the reason we don't have anything good anymore, re:zero is an anime i will defend until i am the last man standing, until my last breath and if i return by death i wouldn't change a thing i said and i will keep defending it, especially with season 3, White fox is definitely doing re:zero justice with the animation and art style beautiful visuals and voice acting, even the dub which was already good, is even better this season id even say on par with the sub. From the OST to the plot, to the characters, to the animation to the plot twist to the voice acting, this anime/light novel (ive read the light novel) is just incredible. To anyone who is patient, likes character development, would like a breath fresh air from the same old isekai over and over this is definitely something everyone should at least try and watch until the end of season 1, and yes i meant watch the whole of season 1, character development is slow and trauma is not so easily discarded, it takes Subaru a while to develop as a character, and he is even still developing in season 2, it takes time. Too sum review up, re:zero is a fantastic anime and you shouldn't listen to people who cant watch passed 2 episodes. Watch it on your own till the end of season 1 or just till episode 15 and if you still dont like it then fine i admit defeat.
