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.
An Amazingly Written Psychological Thriller
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.
Drop what you're doing and watch this anime!
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!

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.

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!
