Well, I seen every season up till season 3 and I got bored. It was repetitive.
Comment on What anime is basically this for you?
Traister101@lemmy.today 2 days agoI’ve gotta be honest I don’t understand how you can think Re:Zero follows the same formula as those lol. The other three are fairly similar in story structure but Re:Zero? Like you named three typical shounen and then Re:Zero a story where the main character can’t accomplish anything on his own, is quite pathetic for the first couple arcs and who’s power is to get killed gruesomely and try and lead others with knowledge he cannot share and should not know.
Naruto literally right from the start is shown to be a kid with incredible potential who manages to beat a Chunin. Narutos structure is about a kid who isn’t innately powerful (which is imo a retcon due to being Ninja Jesus) but who trains with dedication. IE you can do anything if you put effort into it.
Demon slayer is similar insofar that Tanjiro isn’t actually uniquely special though Demon Slayers story structure kind of just sucks all around. The author cared way more about cool looking fights or scenes than making things logically make sense most famously all the Sword effects being completely made up, and not something that exist in cannon, a cannon that has actual demon blood magic.
I’ve been seeing more people hate on things just cause it’s popular and I’ve gotta admit it’s so goofy. You can just not enjoy something that’s fine nobody is forcing you to watch Re:Zero if you don’t like it. Sometimes fans of a property go really overboard, to name names Full Metal Alchemist fans but Full Metal Alchemist is actually good there’s just a lot of people who make it their personality

While it’s not formulaic compared to the other anime, it is pretty formulaic to itself. Each season is watching to see what horror the MC has to face and what he does to eventually overcome it all while dying and/or watching his friends die in brutal and creative ways.
Having said that, I do enjoy the anime, the characters feel pretty unique compared to other anime and the dialogue is very different. Those writers are very good at doing batshit insane monologues

Yes. It’s a story about putting Subaru into situations where the only path forward is self improvement. Subaru can fight and struggle to stay the same but to move forward he must improve. In the Sanctuary arc Subaru repeatedly failed to solve all the problems himself. There’s a what if story where he goes through with the contract with Echidna and we’re shown what would have happened if Subaru gave into his Greed, essentially ruining his relationships with all his friends, while still “saving” them. He got everything he wanted while losing what was most important.
