Re: Zero - Starting Life in Another World

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).

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.

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 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.

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.
