I liked this episode, but otherwise I've disliked the show since episode 1. I gained some hope at the end of the first arc that it would start getting good, and then the mansion part came. Can't believe I didn't drop it.

>14 shitty episodes

Not even better than Kuma Miko's last episode. Or any of Anne Happy or Bakuon's episodes either.
>>
>>144008585
But isn't that the point of the series? The fact that whenever he dies he comes back is shown more like a curse rather than a blessing. I have to agree on the SoL part though, some episodes along the way felt kinda pointless.

Well you don't have to like it but shitting on it for no real reason (bad reasoning, flawed logic, sheer lack of understanding, that kind of thing) isn't something that you need to do to stay 'cool' and 'hip' and contrarian to separate yourself from the unwashed masses or whatever, because what you're actually doing is shitting where you eat.

>>144008799
I don't think that's the main appeal to the show. I actually believe it's about how the MC evolves as a person and learns to deal with his inner struggles and fears.

>>144008954
That's pretty much how threads on /a/ go.
>>
>>144008815
Well for the rest of the characters that is.
Imagine having the knowledge to prevent someone's death. It's sort of like the "With great power" thing in Spiderman, he is obligated to die and die again and again just so everyone can survive. In short, it sucks for the MC.
>>
>>144008799
>>144008837
It is a flaw in a sense, but I think it's minor.
MOST pieces of media with main characters eventually have a happy ending, it's to be expected. You could make the argument that there's no tension in many series because of plot armor protecting the main character's life.

At least in this show, the main character can be killed, right? hah. Unlike in those other shows!

Most pieces of media don't outright tell you there's plot armor, and there's still the risk of injury and shit. There's nothing keeping Subaru from being invincible but his own mental state.
>>
>>144008876
Same desu. Let's all say that this show is edgy shit for underaged redditors
>>
>>144009068
There's still the risk that the witch is encountered, she's stopped, and then subaru dies for real. Who says he's invincible? Maybe he dies at the end, like any other hero with a sad end.

I think it's a super minor thing, really.
>>
>>144009068
>Most pieces of media don't outright tell you there's plot armor, and there's still the risk of injury and shit

They don't need to spell it out loud because everybody takes it for granted nothing really bad will happen to the MC, because there's no way to fix them dying and shit. Where the fuck is there tension in that?

Here, practically any kind of fucked up shit can happen, because it won't stop the story. Maybe deaths can be prevented, but it doesn't undo what happened in the minds of the audience and the protagonist.
>>
What happens if Subaru dies of old age?
>>
>>144009267
Don't worry, some things definitely can't be undone as we'll see by the end of this arc.
>>

>There's still the risk that the witch is encountered, she's stopped, and then subaru dies for real

If the witch is stopped, then the story ends and we don't care about what happens after.

The tension lies in looking forward to how the heroes will find out how to escape their sticky situation. With Re zero the main character has unlimited tries to gather information.

So just like Steins;Gate and it's stil loved by everyone.
I don't even know why you faggots, who would argue against any choice the author makes, even watch anime or any kind of series.
The mc won't die that easily and just because he can't doesn't mean everyone else can't either. Not to mention that it grants the author lots of fuel for character growth.

>>
>>144009564
Maybe you should wait till the series is over before making comparisons to a popular show like Steins gate. Only the ending was memorable for S;G, anyway.
>>
>>144009577
And the anime would most likely end, which is just unrealistic at episode 17. We has the viewer know he's gonna make it somehow and still watch it.
>>
>>144009650
I don't remember too much about Steins;Gate, but I remember that halfway through the show I was pretty attached to the characters. I can't say the same for Re zero.

See, that's actually a reasonable argument and not "there's no tension, cause mc won't die anyway". Also >>144009650
>>
Honestly, if the show had ended with that shot Subaru's frozen, headless corpse in the snow, and we never got anything more, it would have been my AOTY.
>>
>>144009719
I remember the ending was good, but I struggled to get through the first half, because the characters were rather bland. Suffered from a good plot but weak characters. Re zero has gotten me emotionally invested in several of the characters and its only halfway through the first season. I'll have to wait until it ends to make a complete judgement, though.
>>
>>144009734
Actually it was really good.
>>
>>144009833
Literally how. Other than Rem and maaaybe Felt (who has barely had screentime), I don't understand how you could get attached to any of this cast.
>>
>>144009880
Elsa was pretty likeable but she was an arc villain.

How is a hero struggling through death and torture to gather information somehow less exciting than a hero finding all the necessary information in one go, like you always knew he would?

Hard to find a thread without bants from pretentious elite anime enthusiasts.

I mean you guys are 15 episodes into a show and still trashing it instead of saving your time and dropping it. Stop lying to yourself, you're enjoying it.
>>
Fine if I pick up this fucking show already will you stop spamming the board with it?
>>
>>144009960
Because infinite tries. You don't care if the MC fails one run because he'll always have another one. When you see someone die so many times you stop caring that much. Also, when you have to do so many time resets the setting remains mostly the same. Eventually you want to get out of the damn mansion.
>>
>>144010012
Its not bait at all
Regardless of what supposed "development" they have had it isn't anything we haven't seen a thousand times over.

Emilia, Puck, and Beatrice are quite literally the biggest offenders of cookie cut out archtypes in the entire show (and that's saying something)

Emilia- the pure girl who loves everyone too much (her altruism causer her pain? gee i wonder where i've seen that before)

Puck- the cute and funny mascot that has great magical powers, yup totally original

Beatrice- what's this? a tsundere who is initial cold to the mc but slowly starts helping him and by end does all but confess he love! What a novel idea! That's never been done before

Hell even Rem, the most likable character in the who show, has significant problems. Ok so she has a complex about her envy of her sister, and as such is deeply protective of her and the people she loves. Guy comes along, pretty suspicious, but as it turns it he's pretty nice guy who risks his life for your loved ones. Oh i feel guilty because i didn't trust him, oops now i'm madly in love with him and would choose to die for him over live for my sister. Man isn't their relationship great? She's known him ohhh for about two weeks and half of that time he was making a fool out of himself and now she's ready to die for him, yeah that's how real people behave

Face it, the only reason Rem loves Subaru is because the author demands it, and if that's the reason, than that's pretty shitty writing
>>
>>144010421
No, these autists love it despite how much they try to convince you otherwise.
>>
>>144010338
Personally, I'm not really bashing, I just see it for what it is, an average show that gets everyone's kicks off by using a lot of gory and violent scenes, and people automatically think it makes it good.

Basically, the new Elfen Lied.
>>
>>144008837

As opposed to what? Any other show do you expect the protagonist to die in every battle he's in?
>>
>>144010425
>When you see someone die so many times you stop caring that much

That isn't how it works, try being a Remfag. Why do you think he got literally mindbroken in the latest loop? He lived out numerous cycles with the intent of saving everyone but it obviously has never worked out, and he's sick of it all.
>>
>>144010439


This show is literally the new Boku dake, people get impressed by the 9/10 - 10/10 direction and think the story is just as good.
>>
>>144008799
The magical reset button doesn't matter if you can't do shit though. It will just keep on happening again and again until your mind breaks.
>>
>people like this so I must create a thread informing people I don't like it
>>
>>144010457
It's not even that gory or violent. Most we have is severed hand and some cuts here and there. It has a lot of blood, but it's not exactly gory.

We all just want to see Subaru suffer anyway.
>>
>>144010497
He never saw her outright die, he just saw her corpse in previous timelines. It hurts a lot in the first ten, maybe hundred, tries, but eventually the pain lessens. And speaking as an audience, seeing someone die grows old around the fifth time.

You guys are never satisfied. Tell me your favorite anime, so I can tell you how shit your taste is.

Except you are not looking past their appearance, generalizing the characters by a few traits they have that are common in other characters in the medium. This is called cherry picking.

Emilia I agree, is playing a damsel in distress role, but her relationship with Subaru constantly develops and is not even close to being finished.

Puck was just given more depth this episode, and Beatrice was the one that got him through the mansion arc. Going against even her employers to protect Subaru, that no one trusted.

Rem only loves Subaru because the author said it? Are we forgetting the entire mansion arc? Where Subaru forgave Rem for killing him and he almost gave his life for the townchildren and Rem? Also those dialogue scenes where he helped her come to terms with her sis complex
>>

What the other anons said plus he won't even get the appreciation he deserves. Hell, he can't even be sure if the relationships he builds up in a try may hold on. Every reset means they'll grow more distant to him from his perspective, cause they basically don't know him.

The shock value goes down with each time reset, you don't even care very much the first time. Ordinarily, there would be tension with side characters on how they would escape a situation or if they would actually die.

There's nothing wrong with liking shit so long as you're willing to admit to what it is.
To tell you the truth despite how much i rag on re:zero i still enjoy watching it every week
but at the end of the day i'm still going to pick it apart because its ultimately a deeply flawed show

anime has some truly great stories that rival both modern literature and western film. If that wasn't true none of us would be on this chinese cartoon image board talking about it

Of course the time was unwound and all the events didn't happen (or maybe didn't happen yet), but the point is that Subaru still remembers everything. If you don't experience those events too then you can't follow Subaru's mental journey.

Far too long for what it was, also the "mistery" wasn't such a mistery since we lacked any info that could have made us involve and guess what was happening, it was just not giving information for 5 episodes or so and instead throwing at our face dates, irrelevant iddle activities and insert songs over and over again just to say "it was the dog all along, what a twist!". 6 episodes of nothing + an asspull, of course it was a terrible arc.

Overall not a bad series, but wastes so much fucking episodes on nothing at all.

"Subaru is weak and useless as shit" shtick really gets old.
And even worse, by the looks of spoilers it seems he will never truly get stronger.
>>
>>144008183
I don't think the last 14 episodes are shitty.

>>144013671
Practically all the spoilers I've read have said he only gets stronger from this point. Hell, supposedly he steals Beetlejuice's telekenisis.

I feel like /a/ has mostly been dead the past few years. What was the last show that got close to being as discussed as Re:Zero? OPM? Because otherwise I don't think even Yahari or UBW got as many threads. I almost want to say KLK.

Those wasted episodes were about giving a little more information on the setting (witch and dragon stories, magic affinities, mana) and Subaru learning base skills related to those (reading, using a basic spell). They were also about building his bond with the mansion characters and Subaru getting some sort of place in this new world.

A mystery in-story doesn't need to be a mystery for the viewer to solve, that's a whole separate genre. And for those who say the mystery was obvious and Subaru was dumb, Subaru doesn't have a director showing him what the relevant scenes in his days are by giving them focus while foregoing any irrelevant moments. The fact there's different culprits in different loops would also obviously distract him.
The fact it was the dog who cursed him was hardly even presented as surprising. If anything, it's relevant for what it implies about other events down the line.
When it comes down to it it was a character driven arc and I feel like it made a pretty good job using the loop mechanic and Subaru's different courses of action to set up the twins. Scenes that show us more about new characters and create a bond between them and the MC are hardly what I'd call irrelevant. Personally, I like it when a show can afford to take things at a slower pacing just so these sort of scenes can be included. It's otherwise hard for me to actually care about what I'm watching.

Have you not been on /a/ long? It happens a lot, or at least the people who didn't like it get louder about it because it's generating a lot of threads so they feel the need to show how shit it is.

There's also contrarians, but mostly people just don't like the show and they start to get annoyed by the amount of threads really. Plus saying it's getting good is plenty subjective.
>>
>>144014059
>Show is still shit
>/a/ hates it
Nothing wrong here.

So, this is a show that's like the Outbreak Company where a lonely otaku goes to a fantasy world where there are elves and magic and everybody wears sombreros, and he has a cute elf girlfriend, but then he dies for her and ends up in a time loop but in people wear a different kind of hat like a bowler or berets, but as he continually dies over and over again he loses his mind, and then in the cowboy hat timeline the elf girl NTRs him and he goes completely crazy?

Why doesn't he just kill himself, Why does he pretend to be retarded and let everyone die again, but when he sees the last person die he stops pretending to retarded and starts yelling going into sperg rage.

He can reset almost any situation I don't get it.
>>
>>144014431

for forced drama

at any point in the last episode he could tell the cultists about his power and die instantly

maybe he enjoys the suffering

>>144014431
if it was well written then he would carry a poison around and kill himself everytime he's not happy with something. But the author made him retarded so he can get into stupid situations to create drama.
>>
>>144014431

How about you kill yourself right now, and come tell us how easy it was.
>>
>>144014581
He can't kill himself that easily, his power wants him to live.
Him jumping off the cliff was an exception.
He gets the same fear when trying to kill himself as when he tries to tell someone about his power. Maybe try paying some attention.

Listen you mongoloid, He's died several times already and always comes back, All his friends are dead, the person he loves is dead. People have killed themselves for less and don't get to reset everything. So why don't you fuck off.

i just didnt like how the show sometimes was trying to be funny with the subaru saying dumb shit parts. if it had like a more serious setting like this ep, it would be kinda good.

Yeah, it's not like you have a whole lot of reasons to live either.

>>144014646
> mediaeval fantasy world
> has dragons, magic, KKK and dinosaurs
> no poison

>>
>>144014611
I thought the whole thing is that if he tells anyone his power, the curse stops his heart and it resets so no one knows.

>>144014646
That legitimately seems like a plot hole, or him just being retarded. didn't even tell old man butler "I CAN SOLVE ANY PROBLEM THANKS CRUSH" but he doesn't take any steps to help him kill himself. in advanced literally why not?
>>
>>144014606

he can kill himself by telling anyone about the power whenever he wants

easy as fuck

literally the first thing he should be doing is making sure he has an out for when things get horrendous, mostly so we dont have to watch gore porn

Of course there is poison but do you really think Subaru has a means of acquiring it? They don't just sell it in stores and all his acquaintances are related to the Royal selection in some way so I don't think asking for poison would go down well.
>>
>>144014648
But maybe he doesn't
Didn't he think there was a limit of like 3 days or something during the mansion arc
I wouldnt want to take that chance either
>>
>>144014834
lol, you'll get an anime original ending and you will like it
>>
>>144014740

Doesn't seem that way to me. He gets hit by apparently intense agony whenever he so much as tries to say something he shouldn't, but there's no proof he can kill himself doing it.

And again, why don't you go demonstrate to yourself right away how easy it is to kill yourself. The funny thing about humans is, the better you understand how much something hurts, the less you want to do it.
>>
>>144014894
We'll see who laughs last.
>>
>>144014870
Yeah but he doesn't know how his power works, and you really think he'd see Emilias body and be liked
>welp I'm not sure how this works sorry it didn't work out Emilia Caio.

He jumped off a cliff to save the meido twins, guy would fucking swallow a sword to save Emilia.
>>
>>144014917

he tells emilia about it and dies early on, pretty easy it just stops his heart

but then we wouldnt get to see the torture, so the teens wouldnt be impressed by how 'adult' it is
>>
>>144014858
He didn't even try acquiring one, so the discussion of whether he can get one or not is pointless either way. My point was, he didn't even make the effort of exploring the extend of his power, basically his strongest weapon, which is a huge fucking plot hole if you ask me.
>>
>>144015027
Because he doesn't understand it and it's scary. There's no trial and error when the error can possibly kill you for good.
>>
>>144014917
>This character is acting illogically seeing as he can make death inconsequential
>Kill yourself

Well at least I know I'm still on /a/ what an argument.
>>
>>144015103
His deaths aren't inconsequentiel. He has only a limited amount of sanity and loses part of them every time he dies.
>>
>>144013616
Because it had no importance back then.
>>
>>144015027
Well he said how he doesn't know how many times he can die so doesn't want to risk it or abuse it, so that may be his reasoning for not repeatedly killing himself. Maybe after several more deaths he'll come to terms with the fact that he can keep dying and abuse it.
>>
>>144015103

>a character is cursed to come back to life after dying
>hurr why doesn't he just sudoku whenever he doesn't get his way

Yeah, only on /a/ can you encounter people even more detached from reality than the shut-in creators of chinese cartoons
>>
>>144015175
but he's literally already killed himself to help him get his way. In fact every time he die's he just tries to get his way, are we watching the same show?
>>
>>144015101
It's not he doesn't understand, it's more like he didn't try to understand his power. He could ask Beatrice about a power to reset times for example. But he simply ignored the fact that he has the power.
>>
>>144015175

Conveniently, he has a heart attack when ever he mentions it to someone else.
If you're saying he simply has to try indirectly I'm sure Satella is smart enough to pick up on that.
>>
>>144015303

actually the human response to rem being tortured infront of him would be to tell everyone about the power and reset the timeline to avoid her suffering

as everyone keeps saying its a plothole accept it
>>
>He didn't kill himself after his fuckup declaring himself a knight
>He didn't kill himself after getting humiliated by Julius
>He didn't kill himself after he showed his worst to Emilia

It's like he is asking for everything to be permanently ruined. True is that none of this would matter if he didn't act like a retard in the first place, but on the other hand acting like such a retard would be justified if he was just trying to gain the most information to kill himself and use it later. You know what he needs? For Rem to die a horrible death and his reset point being set after it. That way maybe he'll stop being such a shit and realize his power it's not something that randomly happens but something he can actively use to protect the people he loves.
>>
>>144011061
There are two sticking points for me. 1) I want to see if this ride has any breaks, which is a massive "no" at the moment. 2) How all these events change Subaru. Since he's the only one who keeps his memories, the only changes to the story happened because of him, and he changes as a person because of all the shit he goes through. Even after 14 episodes, he still has put on that cringe-worthy personality even though everyone, including the other characters, know it's a mask. For me, the show is about how that mask has been slowly coming off and how it has a massive effect on the rest of the world.

>>144015335
That was, what I would say, a good start. He could try to write down the thing he wanted to say next and see if that works, or try other things, which I would consider to be the logical approach, but he didn't even think about that. What I don't like is when authors make characters ignorant to get certain plots going.

If a "credits roll vertically while the shot stays put with sad orchestral music" didn't do anything for me, then something was terribly wrong.
