Comment on Anime I've tried in 2026
Traister101@lemmy.today 22 hours ago2 episodes frankly isn’t enough for any of the qualities of Re:Zero to be apparent. Subaru starts out as an ass and it’s an important part of his character early on. His shitty behavior is basically the sole cause of the first actual character defining arc

Yeah 2 episodes definitely isn’t fair. Although I don’t want to get stuck like One Piece fans saying you need to watch at least the first 100 episodes lol

The episode that got me hooked is episode 15 but to avoid spoilers all I can really tell you right now is that the first arc or two is somewhat typical isekai bs in that Subaru thinks and acts as though he’s a Mc in one of those stories. In doing so he humiliates himself among other things. In short it’s not a story about some dude who gets isekaid, has checkpoints and gets everything he wants.
If you are just meh on Re:Zero try get to episode 15 at least, that’s the best episode of season 1 imo and episode 18 puts up some serious competition.

That’s good to know but idk if I’ll make it that far. Not that I don’t believe you, but I have a lot of other animes I could be watching instead.

If it helps at all for the most recent season nearly every single episode made me nauseous just in how the plot was unfolding. Like to avoid spoilers first you have beloved characters doing things they never would normally do, and dying gruesomely for it, and then like always only Subaru remembers what he, and the others did and has to continue forward despite that.
If you want to spoil yourself here’s a clip of the primary scene I’m talking about
