Re: Zero - Starting Life in Another World

At first the main character is kind of naive (but likable) but as the show goes on, about halfway through the first season, he gets increasingly whiney, petty, and jealous. It was hard to watch and I was going to stop watching but I liked the action scenes and the worldbuilding so I gave it another try. The show gets a lot better towards the end of the first season. The second season is slow, like other reviews have mentioned, but it has it's good parts. Whole episodes in the second season could have been removed. They were going for emotional scenes that kind of miss the mark and drag on. If you are going to watch, be prepared for a protagonist who you actually start to hate at points but gets better over time. The ending of the second season leaves a lot unresolved (but the ending itself I was happy with).

People who thought that this anime story is ruined after only seeing half of the episodes, are in hell of a surprise! this anime keeps getting better week after week. Its an emotional roller coaster. Anime fans shouldn't miss this amazing ride. A helpless boy struggling to do things right and returning from death to correct his mistakes is everybody's fantasy. Subaru the protagonist is the character you will fall in love with, although most of the times you might hate him, you might feel sorry for him or you might even get annoyed by him but at the end of the day you will admire him. This anime story is well written, it makes the viewer stay at the edge of their seat. With the end of each episodes every week, you just crave to know what might happen next episode. I hope they make more than 30 episodes for this series.

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.

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!

It's got everything you could possibly want from an anime. It has magic, action, alot of comedy, romance and at times its really dark. There's something in it for everyone in this anime and its just a really good show. I would recommend it to anyone.
