Re:Zero is the deconstruction of an Isekai, and well executed. The MC isn't overpowered, he's emotional, he's vulnerable, and he's dependent on everyone else for help. I love anime like this.

[@ladymercy5275]

If there's one complaint I could come up with, it's that the early arc concentrates quite heavily on this concept of give-and-take, something that's not easily translatable either by words or experience to people living in the U.S., I think, because our culture is just a lot more closely aligned with the idea of giving what you can, taking what you need, and letting God (or nature, or whatever your thing is) sort out the rest. So some of the conversations about who owes who for how many magical jelly beans start to sound repetitive, and you might find yourself wondering why these people can't let it go. But pretty soon the audience is treated to seeing exactly _why_ their mentalities about never falling into debt with this person, or that witch, or the supernatural entity over there that can CONTRACTUALLY OWN YOUR SOUL FOR HUNDREDS OF YEARS plays an important part in the theme of Subaru's continual deaths. Which, if nothing else, is always a delight to see, as the action when it happens is consistently over the top. Like, _somebody_ on that production team knows what the world looks like when you get so fucked up all of a sudden that your last coherent thoughts before passing out is something along the lines of _"that's strange, whose blood is all of this?"_ I can vouch that as the plot develops sufficient complexity, everything from the political intrigue in the dialogue to the glorious animation quality continues to improve. They know how to draw that fine line between realism, and the sorts of reality-busting anime bullshit that just has to be onscreen because it's awesome. That doesn't stop their depiction of entrails looking like _fucking entrails_ with all the detail you never hoped to see that up close and personal. So if you were put off by like a few of the early episodes, I'd recommend sticking around a bit longer. It'll hook you in ways you least expect--or at least, it did, for me, and I came into the show fully prepared to hate on it precisely because of all the hype. Now, I'm plenty satisfied, and ready to admit Re:Zero deserves the credit it gets.

The most depressing part is the feeling of isolation, he went through so much with the people around him, but only he knows. There are a bunch of meaningfull momments he had with Emilia or Ram that only he remembers, and he can never trully share his troubles with the people who want to support him. There are many episodes that seem to happen mostly inside his head, and I think that really shows how alone he feels

[@buzzedaldrin117]

Totally agree. And one of the few shows that display real character development. Subaru is sorta shit to start with but his journey brings him to be a better person, whilst also crushing him slowly and eating away at his sanity every step of the way. Another awesome thing this show gets right is him being powerless to do alot of things on his own, hence the literally broken OP supporting characters, he is surrounded by people that could be considered gods compared to him in terms of powers and ability, giving emphasis on how he needs to learn to work/bargain and carefully manipulate the odds to his own favour. Reinhardt literally has plot armour as his power (divine protection) and could wipe the nation from the world if he wanted to, the witches are each incredibly powerful in their own ways, even their lackeys like Betelgeuse prove to be truly formidable to people much stronger than Subaru. A great story with probably the best example of world building and character development, with the right amount of spicy drama and the rare tease of action every now and then really hit it out of the park as a show. My ONLY complaint about it is Fredricas beat transformation which I kinda cringed to see but, apart from that I couldn't complain at all about anything else.

Subaru is defined by the discrepancy between his self-image (impaired by his low self-esteem) and the judgment others have of him (most of them, even the top dogs of society, view him in an extremely positive light despite his well-known shortcomings). I have a thesis that the Return By Death curse could be understood as a manifestation of this dissonant state of mind he holds: In objectifying himself and his life as a means to an end for others, he violates his own human dignity (Objectification is the core violation human dignity attempts to shield against, at least as Kant understood it). This ultimate and most extreme 'self-sacrifice' proves his own worthlessness to the real world. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. (Obviously, I know that this is not what the creator was thinking about or that it is at least very unlikely, but bear with my pseudo-deep interpretation). Subaru feels terrible guilt and embarrassment when confronted with honest praise, affection, and approval because he feels like his Return By Death tricks them into imagining him as a hero. I am tempted to go into a full tangent about his psychology which I find very intriguing but the main point is that his tragedy is one of self-imposed and unjust (for he is an outsider to the world) suffering for the sake of others. One could even say martyrdom (Wanting to avoid religious implications, I'll leave out the obvious parallel to Christ. I'm not a religious person but I find this very obvious parallel worth exploring.). Because of the nature of his suffering (dying over and over again), the challenge the hero must overcome is not to survive a difficult situation (it is more or less clear that he will manage somehow in the end) but by prevailing in spirit and not surrendering the concept of human dignity itself. One might think that a challenge that one is guaranteed to overcome (infinite tries = 100% chance of winning) is no real challenge. But this is a mistake: Re Zero shows that Death in some sense, is something merciful. There is the unspoken agreement that everyone has to try hard in their lives but only until their dead. The dead are exempt from the suffering of existence. To Subaru, this agreement that is universal to all life throughout the entirety of history is reversed: To him, death only marks a new beginning. He becomes isolated from the sphere of living and every time he is forced to ask himself the most fatal questions: "I, who is so useless and leeches off the false esteem I tricked others into holding for me, am I not morally obliged to use my life for the sake of saving others? Isn't the most meaningful action I can take to die for the sake of those dear to me? Isn't this the only way I can fulfill their expectations? Won't they love me then? Won't my life become meaningful?" And, worst of all, it's even the truth! He is, in fact, otherwise completely useless. In the harsh and extreme world of the royal election, everyone around him is basically a superhuman, he, on the other hand, is a run-of-the-mill social outcast, first isolated in his own world by his poor self-esteem, now isolated in the new world by his poor self-esteem as it has manifested itself in the real world (Return by Death). Thus, one can make a very good case that the best (rational) outcome for everyone is that he gives in to the temptation and uses his life as a disposable means to achieve the happiness of others (this is Echidona's Greed Route [Kasaneru]). Instead, he cannot bring himself to abandon the value of his life, despite the rational argument against holding onto it. As Charlie points out, suicide doesn't come easy to him, and not just because of his mortal fear but also because it would be confirming Echidona's thesis that his life is meaningless. And we can see that the people around him share the sentiment he innately knows, as every time he disgraces himself, they feel estranged and disgusted (notably Emilia who couldn't understand why he would go to such lengths time and time again, Priscilla when he asked for her help, Otto when he tried doing everything alone, etc.). In his existential struggle, Subaru proves to the reader/viewer time and time again that the main goal is not achieving an end (as rationalism dictates) but that some man is moral-bound by certain principles that restrict the means he can change in pursuing his ends and the most important, essential and inevitable principle he is charged with affirming is that of the unconditional value of human life and the fact that it is even not available to free disposition to the person living it themselves. Subaru is not a Hero by the virtue of integrity, bravery. He is a hero by virtue of the fact that he accepts and faces the most gruesome and unjust suffering imaginable accompanied by all the doubts and resentments it generates against fate itself; all in the name of doing something meaningful. I know this whole thing sounds very pretentious and even I myself was reminded of the Rick and Morty copypasta but I just had to get this outta my system, it's been literally brewing in me for years now. I hope if anyone reads this they'll see it as what it is: Just a fanboy babbling about his favorite show.

[@megugu2155]

finally someone fucking gets it. i love the type of people that didnt get pissed after ep 18 because they understood subaru. subaru tries hard because of his past failures and has deluded himself to thinking hes worthless. this series is just reverse escapism with advice. this series shows us a protag that seems like a mirror for us and puts this protag in an isekai that ironically reality checks him frequently despite the fact that the isekai genre is purely escapism. the show tells us what to do and what not to do. it highlights the deadly sins and shows us a better path instead of giving in to these sins. subaru is a mirror for the audience and thats why everytime something bad or good happens to him we either relate to it or feel thankful for him. and this is why "Love yourself more" was so impactful. because the audience also needed those words. RBD is semantics for our hidden burdens and insecurity and thats why when subaru finally released his inner problems we felt joy as well. i love ReZero because its like the reverse version of escapism. we got baited into thinking this is gonna be another power fantasy but in reality its subtle advice with accompanying examples dressed as a "uwu cute anime girls" series.

The thing I really like about this series is how suspenseful it is. For the most part, I know that the main character isn't going to die halfway through the season. In re:zero it's even less of an issue, because Subaru can restart, but in my experience that is what makes the suspense. It's not about Subaru dying, but about him dying and losing all the progress he had made since his last reset. Beating the bad guy but potentially dying and having to start from square one is suspenseful in it's own way.

[@nocebo5792]

Nope, the exact opposite. In season 2 he gets waaaaaaay better and is pretty good MC, but season 1 subaru is easily my no 1 worst MC ever, of all time. I love dark stories where MC has to suffer and the world is against him, the concept for the show is amazing, and the moments when they show actually human side of Subaru (faking mental illnes to avoid another trouble, because he had enough/delaying suicide even thought it would fix shit, because he was afraid of the pain) are great, but holy shit Subaru is more annoying and retarded than worst of Luffy, Natsu & Naruto put together. When he actually puts up plan to take down the whale (which was full of convinient shit that had to go his way to even gather the party, and all characters changed personalities from worse than devil to pure good between his death and the preparations for plan), it was so 180 degrees from all that he did before that I thought I've skipped some episodes where he finally gets his character developement, but nope. It took him like 3/4 deaths to kind of realise his power? Half of his deaths in S1 are his fault, and he absolutely deserved to suffer for his insane stupidity & being no.1 simp in entirety of anime (I have no problem with him chosing Emilia over Rem, rather I get why you wouldn't want to be with someone who murdered you brutally for smelling bad, but holy shit "Emilia-tan" was half of his dialogue in S1). I literally clapped when Otto thrown his bitch ass from cart, and I couldn't root nor relate for him even tiny bit in S1.

I dont always want to see my main characters doing the right thing, hell, I dont even do the right thing most of the time. It was supposed to be show people “This is REALLY how you guys would act if you got sent to a parallel world”. Which is true, you anime fans are so entitled and selfish and REFUSE to see anything from anyone else point of view. Anime otakus want to see the main character win easily, because they want to escape from their personal faults. Thats why people dont like seeing Subaru fail. Im sure YOU wouldn’t act like Subaru, but thats not the point. The point is, if you or I were in his situation, we would fuck up just as much as him. I’m tired of seeing these main characters without any flaws. Its fucking boring and not realistic whatsoever. He didn’t just randomly get over his faults, he agonized and got reminded by people constantly. And he even reveals in ep 18 that’s hes always been like this. And he felt like he couldn’t change. Subaru had been living a sedimentary life, he got prideful because he got so many accomplishments. It went to his head. Thats why he was able to “get over it”. It was a product of his actions in THAT world. With the support from Rem, he was able to SLOWLY move forward. He still fought with Julius and hated him. He still made mistakes and got angry too much. He still relied on others to do things for him. It wasn’t out of nowhere, he was the same Subaru. It just took him a while to get control over his emotions. Thats why me and so many other people like his character. Look at the people who replied to you, and look literally anywhere else in the community. Most people like Subaru. They find him relatable.
