Re:ZERO -Starting Life in Another World- (light novel)
| It's like 100% better than season 1 imo. |
 "It's a terrible day for rain." |
| If you don't like S2 at this point nothing much is gonna change it for you form here on. A big point S2 is about development the characters not rushing to point A to B or crazy action sequences. Those are just byproducts of story progression. And no, you are the only who thinks a certain way, its just that majority don't agree with you. There people hated S1 too, but more people like than those who didn't. It no different here. Just drop it dislike it that much. Otherwise your only other is rewatch when the season is finished. |

This season definitely is more focused on characters and the wider story as a whole rather than a lot of action and such, and that’s not for everyone. There is 1 episode that’s come up later in the season though that is better than episode 4 in my opinion, so be on the lookout for that. All in all, I get where you’re coming from, and next season is definitely gonna have a lot more action, trust me.i absolutely loved re:zero season 1, so when the 2nd season was beginning to air back last summer i was pretty hyped, but besides episode 4 of season 2 (which imo is the best ep of the series so far), nothing all that interesting has really happened in this season for me. and don't get me wrong, I'm not a crazed emilia hater who hates this season because subaru x emilia is getting legit, it's just been pretty boring to me and i don't care all that much for the new characters and plotlines being set up. the series is still overall good, but idk... I'm hoping this changes soon |

Netrider said: thank you!! believe me, I don’t wanna dislike this series! season one is one of the first anime that I called one of my favorites; I don’t wanna dislike it!

Or may be some major plot twist? No big revelations yet but the story is definitely building up to some big reveal and there are plenty of major plot twists, the best so far is in Arc 6 or potential Season 4. |

Netrider said: Yeah it was probably my favorite chapter of arc 4. I mean you could go to my favorites and see who is there. We are probably gonna have an new insert song for itExcaliburAO said: Yeah yeah, it’s my favorite scene in the series and I’m really REALLY excited to see it animated. I just hope we also get an insert song to go along with it too...'choose me' right? |

In all honestly, I feel that's what I really wanted to do. For me, as a reader, when I think, "this manga will remain in my heart," it means, for example, it phenomenally hurt me: It's those kinds of experiences I'm after." - Pajime Hisayama (My favourite hurting author). |
| I would agree with you if you were talking about the 1st cour, but this current season looks like it's going to be the better than S1. |
 |
firstawahono said: I think overall s2 is better than s1 However, i personally enjoy s1 more bcs s1 is full of action, thriller, and adventure S2 is more focused on character development, drama, and interaction between characters And why did they make REM in half-dead condition like that?? I think it wiil be the same good stories if rem is awake and accompany subaru Could anyone explain to me? Rem was used to make Subaru realize that he cant just fix everything using his Return By Death , I think whole purpose of Rem character initially was to be used for Character development for Subaru after Rem's arc ended in season 1 ep 11 , after that she was used for Subaru's Development as a character for rest of season 1. This might change whenever she wakes up in anime and gets more character development. |

Spajeto said: THANK YOU!!! I hate the notion of some people that since I’m not a huge fan of this season then I must need mindless action to keep my attention in a show, which isn’t true at all! it’s just none of the new characters or plot threads being set up are interesting to me. and yeah, the trials are just a really lazy and contrived way of forcing development I agree completely and it really puzzles me that we seem to be in the minority on this issue. The characters are so boring that it's incredibly hard to care about their backstory or "development" and unfortunately it feels like this entire arc is just there to provide a base for something that is supposed to happen later. People will defend it by saying it's fine to dedicate time to worldbuilding, and it is, but it's just handled in such an inelegant manner here. It just beats you over the head with weird details and twists about characters before you even get a chance to care about them. The biggest issue is that the central conflict(s) are really boring. Episode 4 of this cour was the best one by far and it's no coincidence that it tells a story not connected to all the barrier bollocks. It feels like a contrivance to justify halting the greater plot so the author can run through a bunch of backstories and character developments without having to gracefully sprinkle them throughout. I feel like they could have achieved the same result by condensing S2 (both parts) thus far into just a few episodes. I don't think Return by Death and as a consequence the smaller conflicts everywhere needed to be brought into this part of the story. It just makes the story that much more frustrating because the other characters naturally can't develop and complete their arcs across time-loops but at the same time their motivations aren't complex enough to lead to vastly different outcomes depending on Subaru's actions, something that was used to great effect in Season 1. Roswaal's motivations and actions are murky at best. Ryuzu is a relatively mysterious being but we still have little indication on why exactly that really matters. Garfiel is a complete waste of time and his entire struggle and the resolution thereof was lame. No progress on Rem's situation whatsoever. Ram has no impact on the story besides being set up for a fight. Emilia is FINALLY starting to move now. Puck was benched only to return as a plot device not suitable for such a major character. The last one is especially frustrating because Puck was a major part in establishing the rules/confines of what could be done with Return by Death. |

JUST DROP IT PLSS |

Tarextherex said: Nope, you’re not alone. Even though the story is finally progressing now I still think this whole arc was a mistake that messed up the series’ pacing. I’ve said in detail why I think this arc is clearly worse so I won’t elaborate again, there’s no way to convince fanboys anyways. I’ll just say you have to be especially delusional to consider re zero a “psychological” show simply because season 2 has more dialogues. The characters are two dimensional at best. We didn’t get deserved character development, all we got after over a cour’s worth of episodes is backstory for the comic relief character, roswaal being confirmed sus, subaru being told that he shouldn’t do everything alone, echidna joining subaru’s harem after some light infodumping, emilia letting her emotions loose and the absolute worst part, garfiel being a total lunatic until he finally gets beaten. If you think that was deep or great writing or whatever please branch out, LNs and isekais aren’t the peak of fiction I guess it's not your taste. Why force yourself to watch it if you don't find it "deep"? Well, I guess this opinion of yours has been like a "judging the book by its cover" notion. "Echidna joining Subaru's harem" has also been the most horrible and disappointing take when you think of her as a necrophile "toy" for Subaru, but nope! You really just don't get it at all. |

| Well, I find the first series to be fine but this second series has been very boring for me so far. It’s like I don’t care at all about what’s happening and the fact I didn’t particularly like any of the characters in the series is surely one of the biggest issue I have with this series. I honestly can’t say I like this series anymore because I’d lie. |

No matter how good an anime or any film or series is, there will be people who thinks it is just ok or even awful. The serie a an objectively well crafted an made, but subjectively some people will always find something that erks them and destroys the show for them no matter how good it is. No, you are not the only one. The reason for you not liking it is in you and not in the anime. That is not a bad thing, though. It is just a shame and your lose which pity you for a bit. |

| I just came here to say that the 2nd part of 2nd season is much better than any of the sequels out there. Re: Zero's sequels are actually really better then it's prequels and thats because the story is unfolding and emilia's character is also growing on people (at least for me). This became possible because of the great work done by everyone who made this anime. I mean many sequels with great plot went downhill because of poor execution but it didnt happen here (so far). |

shmoomp said: I agree, season 1 was way more entertaining because of how thrilling it was seeing how Subaru would accomplish his goals after getting killed. This season just seems like its fixing the issue of the sanctuary only not actually developing much for his true main goals.Dimmadeezy said: EXACTLYYYY season one was really gripping and satisfying while season two has just been boringNope, I have the exact same opinion as you. I’m losing interest in both the story and have nearly no interest in any of the new characters. I thought the first season was infinitely more interesting. I just feel like the mystery and suspense that made me fall in love with the show is now gone, and people are saying this is one of the best arcs too. |

Saber_Evergarden said: lmao so far it is been very bad for me. I want Rem. Does season 2 have rem? No. It is bad. Rem is objectively one of the worse characters in Re:Zero lol She'd bring nothing good for the story if she was still present at this moment. If you can handle her being gone, just drop the series already, it'll be better for everyone. |
Saber_Evergarden said: No Rem number one, screw u Rem haters. Alright I've got a great idea. We keep insulting each others 'till the other gives up. "No screw u Remtards!" It's your turn now. (edit - I don't hate Rem actually, she's just too one-dimensional compared to the other characters from the show) |
