Re: 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.

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 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!

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.

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.
