ZERO-Starting Life in Another World

This may very well be one of the best shows I've ever watched. Every week I find myself wondering what it's going to happen next, how is the main protagonist going to get out of this particular situation. Not to mention the voice acting and overall world building is phenomenal! This is definitely a show that is binge worthy! This show easily makes my top-five anime list!

Re: Zero is less of an Isekai and more of a Thriller. It balances dark themes extremely well. The focus on characters and their motives are what makes this show so interesting. People like Roswaal and Echidina are what give this show such an aura of mystery and horror. The soundtrack is amazing and the gore is never sugarcoated and always makes you uneasy. Re: Zero is a show that has a lot of potential and I can't wait for future episodes.

The storytelling in this anime is just divine. The characters, the visuals, the soundtrack, they are just perfect. Highly recommend this anime- although there isn't as much fighting/action scenes compared to other animes, the main selling point is the story telling, and it has done well.

This show is - amazing.

Go watch this NOW.

NOW.

I'M NOT KIDDING.

Anyways...

Re zero is a 2016 anime series about a teenage boy Subaru transported to a magical world. He then met a half elf half girl Emilia. Then they go on a journey to find Emilia's stolen stuff. But, they then got murdered. Subaru then transported back to where he first entered this world. A 25 episode magical emotional adventure begins.

Don't fooled by this boring premise because this anime has SERIOUSLY GOOD WRITING. Everything in this anime evolves from meh, to omfg. I can't say anymore because it will becomes a spoiler, and so I just wanna advise you all dive into this series with an open mind.

The artwork and the sounds are also very great, although I won't say it's amazing. If you look closely to some of the frames, you might spot some quality down tier. But then they hide it very well so eh? Who cares.

Overall I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you guys to check it out. And so, yeah, do it. You'll be amazed.

This is a show I can't help but love and hate at the same time. The plot is really interesting and original, and some episodes are absolutely incredible, like S1E15. It's a brutal story of death and despair where a useless protagonist is forced to learn from his mistakes over and over in the most gruesome ways, and that's his only "superpower" to overcome all odds. That makes the protagonist a very relatable and likable one, undoubtedly one of the best character developments I've ever watched in anime (and I've watched a lot).

On the other hand I often found other characters to be incredibly annoying (I'm looking at you Ram); the plot often goes on weird tangents that make little sense and contradict or derail the main plot; you are often lead to believe every single character is conspiring against the protagonist for some mysterious reason.

Overall a great show, highly recommended; but expect an excess of pretentious characters with bad attitudes and overpowered girls in maid outfits.
