ZERO-Starting Life in Another World

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.

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!

This anime is set in a medieval fantasy world like that of a videogame (think Skyrim or an mmo) and has a certain element to it which is key to Steins;Gate. It's also made by the same studio White Fox, this is a good anime studio.

The series is about a layabout called Subaru which finds himself in this other world and like the film Butterfly Effect, is trying to get the best outcome, whilst also learning more about the world and getting further tangled in it and it's inhabitants affairs. The show has some humorous moments and the character's are likeable (the horrible or antagonistic character's are perfectly unlikeable or hateable). The storyline is interesting and keeps me wanting to know what will happen next, with cliffhangers set at good moments. And the show for it's lighter or goofy moments, also manages to be extremely dark and violent, which is an interesting balance. It's a balance the series or manga (this is condensed from) manages to get right. Some of the written humour or dialog isn't perfect, but for the most part it is good and the english dubbing has talented VA's.

Overall I'd recommend this, it's a quite good show, one that will quickly pull you in if you liked Steins;Gate (despite it's much more fantastical setting and anime-esque protagonist).

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.

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.
