It just seems like you’re trying to be philosophical and all of that but you just come off as someone who is trying so hard to be intellectual about “writing”. At of all the good you’ve watched, there is one that you gave a lower score than March comes in like lion and that’s Houseki no Kuni. Maybe the anime didn’t adapt enough, I don’t remember enough but the overall story is far better.

@Blueberry173 then remove the word romantic from what I said and my point stands. Nearly every relationship in the show in romantic and servant/master terms can be reduced to the same trope.
| @BigDaddyTuesday not really, nearly every relationship is fleshed out and is varying, if you reduce it to "x loves y so will do anything for them" that will literally be like, almost all of the deep relationships irl, or in fiction, idk why a character loving someone is somehow a bad thing? (Not necessarily romance) Emilia and subaru's relationship is developed really greatly in arc 5 and 6 (s3) Wilhelm and theresia's relationship is just one of the best in the story while being really unique aswell Subaru and beatrice's relationship is just pure goodness and probably the best subaru has Garfield and ram aren't even that big of a thing for it to be termed as an obsession Felix for crusch and julius for anastasia are extremely respectable knight-master relations Subaru and otto are the best homies I can go on and on because love is a huge aspect of this show and its done really greatly. The only "obsessive simping" relationships are ram for roswaal and roswaal for echidna, if you say that's the whole cast, the entire point of the story just went over your head i suggest you introspect about it because majority of the relationships aren't obsessive simping at all and you are boiling down the cast to fit into whatever fucked box of imagination you created. Not to mention, these characters have shown selfishness more than enough times to give them depth outside of these relationships. |

| 1. Series too long. Tappei expects his series to get adapted twice as long aot but had a fraction of resources. It redu es rewatchability since good foreshadowing needs an endgoal in sight earlier. 2. Gore for cheap shock factor. Repeat this too many times and it gets old which tappei is doing for later arcs. He is not using stuff like themes, foreshadowing. If he wants a 200 episode series, people are going to get tired of it. 3. Poorly written finales through bs power up fights vs climactic reveals that get talk going. |
| the characters. they're all so obnoxious. the story is bogged down with their silly antics and "tragic" backstories. |

| @Okeanix You wanna fight about this? Ok, lets go! First of all, ReZero and Clannad are like apples and oranges. One is a drama/comedy. It's a show about people simply living their lives. Period. The other is ostensibly a fantasy adventure in the vein of LOTR...but it's also a harem and a comedy and a thriller and a battle shounen and... well, Re:Zero has no idea what it's trying to be and it's obvious the author is just making shit up as he goes with no plan in mind. And that's why it's padded to the brim with a lot of cringey attempts at characterization instead of like, you know...advancing the plot. instead get cringey backstories for characters nobody in their right mind even cares about like Garfield, Otto and that ridiculous warrior butler dude. Also it's kinda ironic you call Nagisa an NPC when Emilia is the most boring anime girl ever. Tappei or whatever his name is keeps trying so very hard to force us all to like her but since he sucks so bad at writing people, it's been an epic fail. Nagisa might not be anything flashy but after all, she's just a regular girl, not a psychotic demon maid or a half elf ice witch... |

| As someone who read most of the novels, the absurd amount of plot armor and plot convenience especially when Subaru isn't around to just reset and fix everything, the lack of development on Subaru x Emilia's romance and how the author finds a way to nerf Subaru every arc so it's actually a challenge |
| That it takes 4 years for them to make a new season. |
lessfull said: MegaStride said: Season 2 of Re:Zero was a real doozie. It had a plethora of issues from its writing, focus on characters that don’t matter, cringe dialogue, bloated dialogue, and loaded exposition. Who actually cares about Emilia? Doesn’t matter if she’s “well written” if her character is as intriguing as CARDBOARD. Not to mention Subaru is still a crybaby loser. What are things you find flawed about this series? I don't like how in Re:Zero every speech is drawn out way too much. And it usually even repeats itself midspeech. E.g. Subaru's speech in s1 ep18 with Rem confessing to him afterwards. He repeated himself "I am trash" (abbreviated) like 5 times. Sure, I understand why it may sound like a correct way to do it, but it still bothers me immensely. I believe almost third of the anime can be cut down which will only improve the story's quality. Also I don't like characters that much. For some serious and dark tone story tries to portray they all act and talk and look like grade-schoolers for me. This juxtaposition just gives me a whiplash every other minute of the show. When I see Subaru die by hanging and then immediatelly after that he wakes up and sees girl-bard who likes to be half-naked all the time - it completely destroys Suspension of disbelief in me. Does that apply to season 2 part 1? I understand what you're saying and I agree for the most part. It is the reason I'm finding this season so relatively hard to enjoy. But I would say that the climax of s2p1 is probably the only part where the immersion is not broken as much by the characters ruining the mood and acting so incongruently. A lot of people seem to concur in their dislike of season 2, but I wonder if they're coupling part 1 and 2 into one before forming that opinion. For me, part 2 was guilty of what you pointed out, with the happy go lucky, "we are invincible", fearless attitude all the characters seem to develop all of the sudden and the drawn out proclamations of confidence, while part 1 was mostly unaffected by that and actually was much better in terms of cinematography and acting, and a masterclass in suspense. What I mostly dislike though is, in the same vein as what you described, Subaru's character, or more specifically, the way he behaves and speaks most of the time. It doesn't have to go that far in his tireless, shameless clown act. |

| The cartoonish villains speaking with the same "insane" tone of voice. Gets very boring after a while and they lose their effect, becoming more comedic than terrifying. Subaru wearing the same clothes after spending God knows how much time in there. Too many random loli's running around. They don't need to look so young, the story doesn't require it. Don't pander to creepiness. |

| Both toxic fans and people like you who has made me less respectful of anime community in general over the years. And yes, Re:Zero S2 is it's best part so far. |

What are things you find flawed about this series? Disagree about the characters in s2 not mattering, but to each their own Anyways, what flaws i think Re:zero has - Pacing I found it to be, especially second half of s1, very trdious, s2 i actually thought was a bit better paced, and s3 so far is great pacing-wise - Liliana'a character design I loath her anime character design, i don't particularly care about the costume choice (which i know has been a topic of heated debate), my problem with the character design is... why TF did they make a 20+ yo completely flat cheasted??? And to think the likely reason behind this "censorship" was some foreign exec saying "she looks too young to be showing so much skin REEEEEEEEE!!!", and so they solved the "problem" of her looking younger than her age... by infantalizing her even more!! |

| Is it bad that I don't like Subaru?? Feels like as the show as gone on, the less I've cared about him. |

| Sensor 2 part one was hard to endure after half a century of waiting and a good directors cut (please dont do the same with this one). Part two is good. Now, season 3 is being amazing, but we've to watch 23 min a week when the only boring ep was one and it was an hour one. Re:zero do this. Btw, this one is a must if we're talking about directors cut. (Even with part two being ok, I will say it again, please dont make me go through season 2 DC) |

| @QcDiablo The side characters manage to cover it one way or another. But if the guy really hates subaru, better drop it. Otherwise we will be reading reviews with 2, 3 out of 10 score here. People these days watch, play, do (wrost case scenario) stuff to storm reviews later. Something I consider a complete waste of time, and unlike subaru we all have only one life (at least I think its 'we all' the world is going from bizarre to something I dont know the Word yet) |
