true, although some of it also sort in "it's a an act /mask" behaviour territory I'd argue, point being that it's intentionally written that way

2024-09-20 16:30:47 +0000 UTCThis being slower is subjective no? I love both shows but at least in season 1, Re: Zero was never slower than SGβs first twelve episodes (for me) except for maybe an episode or two and i feel like even thats a stretch.

2024-09-20 11:13:06 +0000 UTCSome none spoiler points about this show - Its a slow builder, people say steins gate is a slow builder, this is slower. - It can be cheesy at times, especially near the start. This show however has a lot of emotional focus, and as the story builds it starts to loose some of the cheesy tones and gets a lot more serious.

DrumRollTony
2024-09-20 02:24:00 +0000 UTCAnd I'll add onto this as well, with no spoilers, just discussing what's already happened. The convenience store scene at the beginning is important because it showed Subaru looking at manga, so this tells the audience that he (as a character) knows about Isekais (the other world tropes mentioned above). So when he does go to the other world, he starts looking around for all of those tropes, expecting all of those things to happen to him but none of it does. It would be like showing someone reading Harry Potter and the next thing is them teleported to a wizard school. The first thing wouldn't be "why I am here?", it would be "wait, am I the chosen one about to learn magic?! what house am I going to sorted into?!" etc... because they'd be focusing too much on living out their own fantasies first before the reality sets in. In this case that "reality" is Subaru's death. Not only that, but most Isekai take place with the MC dying in the opening, usually hit by a car. So Subaru walking into the road and looking around and there is no traffic is kind of funny because the audience would be expecting the death scene right then. They let it hang long enough for you to realize it's not happening and then he blinks and opens his eyes in the other world. The first episode is a constant fake out and deviation from almost all the tropes of it's genre. I mean, they literally have Subaru chasing the Isekai tropes, trying to find them, until the writer literally kills the MC without him finding a single trope. The writer is kind of flexing on its competition and showing how you can make a really compelling narrative without relying on the tropes. Also, it's shown a little wonky in the anime but if you didn't catch it, the scene where you said "is this in a basement? or the car trunk?" was clips of the first scene where Subaru died being overlaid onto him walking around. We then get the "context" when he dies the first time. Re:Zero story writing is insane and it's one of my top 5 animes. I clicked on this video the second I saw it and can't wait for you to see more! It is a slow burn but I love it.

2024-09-20 01:04:18 +0000 UTCWhen it comes to editing and stuff, I'd really recommend you read up on cloud computing and things like that. It'd perfectly suit your need when it comes to the availability of computing power; you wouldn't be so limited in that regard. Just food for thought! Love!

DrumRollTony
2024-09-19 22:58:37 +0000 UTCAlso, worth noting that the the investment in this story is quite high. The current point in source material (written novels) is likely another 10 years away worth of story in terms of new anime seasons. They've been doing new season every 4 years. I'm not caught up in the source material but expect questions / plot threads to span across years of anime material. Fortunately you have 2 seasons in the chamber. Lastly, the author is a legend who wrote the story for Vivi (the ai robots anime you watched) so at the very least you can be confident there is bigger than life story here.

2024-09-19 22:20:52 +0000 UTCYikes "how about a drink of stfu". Saw that one coming. Top 5 show for me but if that type of dialogue bothers you, you'd better get used to it if you plan on sticking through it. Lots of characters talk fast in this show. Not all the time but throughout for sure. Either way, hope you enjoy

2024-09-19 22:20:00 +0000 UTCAlso keep in mind subaru is self aware how cringy he is and understands its a character flaw of his.

2024-09-19 22:03:08 +0000 UTCAhhhh. This explanation makes sense.
DrumRollTony
2024-09-19 21:29:28 +0000 UTCJust to elaborate on the whole transported to another world trope, it's basically something that developed partially as a way for inexperienced writers to avoid having to learn how to do exposition well. When writing a story in an entirely fantasy setting, such as Frieren, there's a disconnect between the protagonist (who likely knows a lot about the world) and the viewer (who does not). This genre brings those in sync, so it doesn't require a lot of writing skill to make things natural when something needs to be explained to the audience about how the world works. There have been thousands of stories written around this trope, a lot of them not very creative. As a result, there are common themes like an unpopular loner getting randomly summoned into another world, usually by some princess who needs the protagonist to slay the demon lord to save the world, and they're usually self-insert fantasies where the main character doesn't have much of a personality and is blessed with power, wealth, and women. These are just sort of the default of the genre, with only minor spins on the concept mixed in with rare exceptions. Subaru, an unpopular loner who has read many of these, is approaching the world in that context. This is why he accepts it so readily, and is part of why he's particularly cringey at the start - he believes he's the main character in such a story and the world and characters aren't entirely real to him at this point.

2024-09-19 21:23:21 +0000 UTCyet another anime with incredible music
SKAOG
2024-09-19 21:02:39 +0000 UTCThe setup for this show is based on the assumption that he is a japanese youth who is very aware of anime/manga where a character gets summoned into another world, and that scenario is so common it's become its own genre: Isekai. So it is still a bit odd even with that context but he basically has experienced so many stories with that setup that he's just accepting it as a given that he should be fine and get all these perks and not be too worried about his predicament. Also really looking forward to your journey with this. One of my top anime. Some parts are hard to watch but to me it's similar to Stein's Gate when it's hard to watch, as in things get rough for characters but the writing and story is good, versus characters just being randomly weird or annoying for some kind of comedy bit that adds nothing to the story. I think you'll really enjoy it based on what you've gotten hooked on in other shows.

2024-09-19 20:51:59 +0000 UTC5:20 so its actually crazy about plate armor but we engineered the fuck out of that stuff. By the time we got to full plate armor in europe we had them designed so well they had better maneuverability than your actual body, and the weight distribution good enough that it didn't feel like you were wearing too much. You could sprint, roll, do whatever you wanted in them. Shit was actually crazy good. For like D&D stuff when we do stealth penalties for armors we're actually making them a bit worse than they were IRL but it fits the genre

2024-09-19 20:50:14 +0000 UTCHey Tony thanks for the info at intro! You won't be missing anything btw by watching the shorter episodes so no one is going to complain and it should be all good anyways. Directors Cut, for the most part, is just two episodes edited together. The ONE TIME you should watch the directors cut is an after credits scene in the last episode of Season 1 which was added to help transition into season 2. Looking forward to this one thanks for the reaction!

2024-09-19 20:42:48 +0000 UTCIm not sure if youβll like this show. Definitely more than FMAB yes but I dont know if its your type. Something like Monster or even Fate Zero would have been a lot more enjoyable for you i think. However I love this show and Id love to be wrong, so I hope you enjoy it. The soundtrack is beautiful I will say, so whatever you think about the rest of the anime, I look forward to what you think of the music.

2024-09-19 20:37:02 +0000 UTCBe prepared, sometimes this show gets cheesy! But in my opinion the composer, Kenichiro Suehiro is almost as great/as great as Hiroyuki Sawano with his body of work, particularly with this OST

2024-09-19 20:06:04 +0000 UTCYeah I don't think it makes much of a difference which he watches, I remember it being a big letdown when there were very few improvements over the original run.
Anorus
2024-09-19 20:05:00 +0000 UTCMost of these characters are aware of the isekai genre themselves, so they kinda just accept it when it happens to them. I think its so the whole new world bewilderment is too much of a focus on their character. Its like not having captain america constantly commenting on 2000s tech and just have him accepting almost everything
Nusutto
2024-09-19 20:01:23 +0000 UTCYou'll def get context as to why Subaru just doesnt give a shit when he's randomly put into this situation. A big part of Re:Zero is buying into the characters and their growth. The author is pretty good at leaving no one behind character wise, so any oddities they have are just the starting line for the cast as you move through the series *Also the voice for Rom is the old principal from JJK, so you might recognize it from there

2024-09-19 19:59:09 +0000 UTCThat's one of the tropes about the Isekai genre (also known as "in another world"). Most of them don't even bother explaining or have the main character wonder why/how, they just accept it.

2024-09-19 19:58:31 +0000 UTC"Guy gets transported to a fantasy world" is a very common genre in anime. Usually like, a guy gets hit by a truck and ends up reincarnated in another world or something. It's funny that this show just puts him in there and expects the audience to accept it lol, but honestly the genre is so common it's not even that much of a stretch

2024-09-19 19:37:28 +0000 UTCYou can let me know if I'm wrong (without out actually saying how, just that I am wrong) but I'm pretty sure the final episode of the DC just has a scene that is then at the very beginning of season 2, so he wouldn't be missing out.
