I have been wondering if Re: Zero is worth watching.

If your into psychological anime then definitely worth the watch
Paddrikk 4y
He gets sad so it's obviously a psychological anime SMH

It sways in quality. I'd say the first half of season one is good and the first half of season two is fantastic. The second half of season two, however, I found boring and dull. The Whale arc isn't great either.

  Wtf??? The second half of Re:Zero season 1(Whale arc) was it's peak the rest since then fell off

  this is the exact opposite of my own opinion on season 2 lmao, that whole first part had me bored out of my mind

  Focusing on Subaru in the first half is what made it so enjoyable for me, as he is the most fascinating aspect of the series. The second half's overuse of flashbacks was painfully dull and hard to sit through.
  Asianpapii 4y
  yeah i agree subaru's the only character i really like from it but the whole first season was good then it felt kind of repetitive

  I don't mind the receptiveness, since that is a cornerstone of the series (Subaru keeps dying and must find a way to stop it). As long as they keep it interesting, then there is no problem. This is exactly why the second half of season 2 was so boring, since it left that story to focus on flashbacks for other characters.

  i actually kind of enjoyed season 2 part 2 they switched up from killing subaru even 3 seconds and started trying to build on the other characters with backstories and even though some were slow some were also good but the action near the middle-end of the season was great
  yoimen 4y
  ah yeah I thought Subaru was really cringey, so when it finally focused on someone else in s2p2 i started actually enjoying the show a bit
  Removed 4y
  I don't mind Subaru being cringey, since he in the end he feels believable and is interesting to watch.

Its really good, the first 14 episodes are meh but trust me its worth watching episode 15+ are all masterpieces
lilPier 4y
I didn't like it at all, for me it's not worth watching.

Maaan everyone's just arguing over which parts are better now. Listen I say try it and decide for yourself, I think you'll enjoy it and if you don't after like 6 or 7 episodes just drop it. But yes give it a try defo don't wait for everyone elses opinions. ;p
killsubaru 4y
@nilzennathalie just stop reading all these different opinions which will only confuse you and just start it now and decide for yourself
- yoimen 4y
  honestly this. despite what ive said in this thread, you really shouldn't let that stop you, at the end of the day just watch what you wanna watch
Kami 4y
If you wanna get hyped for the first season and bored outta your mind on the second then yeah it's worth it
IshaqNewton 4y
its actually one of the best anime ive watched
IllyasvielQLoli 4y
Yes.

@nilzennathalie
Based on what you have watched I would say you'll enjoy it. The show lives and dies on whether you like the characters. I hate all of them so it isn't my thing, but that's just my personal opinion.
nicov90 4y
Yes.
Saw 4y
it's ok I guess

Depends if you like watching people suffer.
Honestly, that show was nothing but stress to watch and I hated every second of it.
- nicov90 4y
  wait wait wait you though re:zero was stressful...but you loved happy sugar life? weird huh...
  KormitLeFrag 4y
  Happy sugar life alternates between the "sweet" moments and the "bitter" moments. Rezero is just "here watch these characters get brutally murdered, SIKE lets undo that and make you watch it again but in a different way".
  When I finished happy sugar life, not only was it actually interesting, it felt like something actually changed. Unlike rezero where the end of s1 doesn't feel any damn different to the end of episode 2 except now ive been made to sit thorugh people suffering for no reason.
  nicov90 4y
  Watching subaru die in infinite creative ways with actual character development is way more interesting than having a whole set of mentally fucked up characters for no reason. Also, nothing actually changed in happy sugar life, she could kill, marry that kid (which is also fucked up) and move away from the apartment since episode 1. What changed?
  
  I did not want to start a discussion about that show, but it's weird because happy sugar life doesn't have an actual enjoyable story nor enjoyable characters at all.

  You know, my favourite trash take on Re:Zero is when people watch Gigguk's video and make it into an actual unironic review / criticism against Re:Zero.
  
  Like if you genuinely think the anime is only about Subaru suffering for no reason then I genuinely believe you've only watched Gigguk's abridged video and a death compilation and haven't actually watched the anime.
  KormitLeFrag 4y
  Didn't even know Gigguk did a video on it, why would I watch a video on an anime i hated lol
  Removed 4y
  I was making fun of your take, it's essentially that.
  
  really, if you think Re:Zero is just about suffering then you missed the whole point.

Yep-

Honestly after talking with someone that reads the light novel the show took a dive in my ratings, a very hard one based on purely being a bad adaptation.
For instance here is something really, absurdly important that's shown very early on in the light novels and NEVER shown in the anime:
The main character is NOT the only human that has been isekai'd
Komoruta 4y
YES!

It's good, especially if you go blind / unbiased and ignore 99% of what the people here say
Julian 4y
it certainly was for me, give it a try

No
