    Summary

    Reviewers say 'Re: Zero - Starting Life in Another World' is lauded for its intricate characters, psychological depth, and emotional narrative. The Return by Death mechanic and Subaru's development are key highlights. However, criticisms point to repetitive deaths, uneven character arcs, and pacing issues. Some viewers find the protagonist unlikable and the plot convoluted, while others enjoy the world-building and mystery. The anime’s dark themes and violence may not appeal to all audiences, creating a divisive viewing experience.

    The story keeps getting interesting!

    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.

    Holy sh!t

    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.

    Talk about being on your toes....

    What can I say i have been captivated by the plot twists this anime has. It has put me in a roller coaster of emotions. It's so good. Never have I been so intrigued. Highly recommend even at this point, 8 episodes in. Not only that episode are and hour long. Just mind blown. The characters show immense growth in such a short period of time. The animations are great. The way Subaru has to go through so many obstacles at this point has left me in awwww, and still manages to make it out of all the downfalls he has faced so far has led to me to really admire his character in this anime. I know anyone who's gives it a chance will too!

    It's just good. Like really good.

    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.

    Watch it and don't look back

    One of the best anime stories out there. Don't let the fact it is an Isekai deter you. In-fact, Re:Zero started as a web novel very early on in the Isekai Genre. Part of me wishes it wasn't considered one because there are so many ppl. That would love this show that automatically shut out all Isekai.

    What makes this show special is the writing, character development that feels real, psychological thriller, world building, and an outstanding cast of characters you will root and jump out of your seat when someone comes along to remind them how to love yourself and cherish oneself.

    The show doesn't have fear to stray away from tough topics either. The author even shares alternatives of what would happen if the main character chose sin over virtue. Watch this show. It is going to be GOATED as more seasons come out adapting the Light Novel Arcs. Season 3 has started with a bang!
