Re:Zero - 1x23 Nefarious Sloth - Group Reaction

[@GOGtribute]

Favorite episode of the season, the emotion at the end from Julius and felix when they realize they have to kill Subaru, who just started to become a hero and their friend was done perfectly.

[@animdalf9178]

It is also my favorite moment of the season, great twist on the classic Re:Zero Arc structure until this point (dying after "turning point"), great voice acting and emotions shown (Julius' knight facade cracking down for the first time). And the ending music with the lyrics "Stay alive" as he is dying one of the most tragic deaths yet just perfectly hit into emotional nutsack so to speak.

[@yiledute]

That is why I like this episode. We as the audience know that he will come back, that it's fine if he dies, but they don't, for them it's killing a dear friend, it means something. And we get to see more of this in the next season.

[@TheReaIestOne]

And Emilia's face at the end fills me with sadness. The boy almost achieved what what he wanted to do.

[@DavidRomigJr]

“Jules was cools for a second. What happened?” Julius has been cool since we met him. Subaru’s been the one that’s had the problem, all because he was polite and nice to Emelia, someone no one is nice to and could use more people being nice to her.

[@rententee]

But he do have a punchable face doe

[@bryanalarcon871]

I could never forget Kobayashi Yuusuke's voice at the end of this episode (Subaru's VA). I wish i could see his expression when he recorded that scene, and that's why i think the JP version of this first season is absolutely AMAZING

[@MrScripted]

The whole thing about Petelgeuse is that he transfers bodies when his body dies. There was a (slightly contentious) bit of foreshadowing at the beginning of ep 15 where u can make the argument that when Subaru was being frozen by puck, and he was laughing, that was petelgeuse possessing his body for just a moment (since he monologues that he's hearing the laugh of someone he hates to death)

[@cpMetis]

Re:Zero is one of my favorite series because of how much you can think about it and still uncover new aspects of the story, over and over with the same information. You have to piece the world together just like Subaru does. The only show that really comes close is the Toaru series, but that series goes about it entirely different by having 3+ almost totally separate PoVs just sharing the same world.

[@jcoulton4]

Yep. But also with new information to lead back to earlier throwaway lines. Watching Season 1 and the OVAs after watching Season 2, shows you how much foreshadowing there was in seemingly general conversations and interactions.

[@DGSnowolf]

also toaru has the problem, that while its main cast is great and the power system is great, its world building (atleast magical side) and overall story is complete garbage.

[@cpMetis]

@@DGSnowolf Eh, I don't think it's bad, it just gets barely any time to exist amongst all the "hehe 2000's LN harem-lite" moments. Part of what makes Index so much more annoying to get through than the other series. When it actually gets to... exist, the magic system is pretty damn cool.

[@DGSnowolf]

@@cpMetis yeh whats dragging index down the most is definitely the harem side with always having to save girls, always getting punched around by female leads, the mc being brainless and the church having to consist of barely clothed nuns. It also does a lot of magic jibberish talk though. Throwing around random words as if they explain whats going on.

You can just tell the stark difference in effort in reaction between their Dark reactions and Re:zero Reactions. They'll spend 20 or 30 minutes discussing Dark while here it's a 10 minute discussion. Ironic that the person complaining about not knowing what's going on pays the least amount of attention and takes no notes. Mickey should really stop expecting information to be spoon-fed. Granted, the show is supposed to leave the viewers with many questions that will be answered later, but missing Ram's actions is on them because if they paid attention to the political situation it would be obvious to them. Ram sees Subaru is with the opposing faction and believes Subaru has betrayed them given how Subaru and Emilia's last interaction went. No one on the couch mentioned either that the letter Ram received was blank, which should draw eyes, because this is a hint towards a later reveal.

[@NozomuYume]

I think they need to watch AniNews' explanations of what's happening (using cut content from the novels). They really help put things in context. Personally I was fine with the show, but it opened up a lot of explanations with the internal monologues that got cut from the anime for time.

It’s honestly so frustrating when reactors do this. Tbh it sucks that people basically need straight forward instructions to watch a show instead of getting into lore and psychology. Then shitting on the fandom for trying to help them understand it. That my friend is, “IMMATURITY” “Why is he restarting again?!” That’s the moment I knew this reaction series was unfortunately dead. So sad. I will also say, though I am dissatisfied with how some fans acted on episode 18. It is 100% on y’all to respond correctly to criticism. But, mocking fans online and in a skit, then spinning if into a sub/dub issue, was not the way. Switching to DUB wasn’t the problem guys, it was just the obvious disinterest you had for the show and the plot in the first place. Even episodes before this y’all seemed un-interested. Just be honest with your fan base. We aren’t forcing you to watch it. If it’s not your show please just say so. Cuz rn, It’s apparent that this isn’t your show, Stop making fun of fans (even if some are going overboard). Yeah there’s shitty people but y’all don’t need to be.

[@GOGtribute]

I agree and disagree. They've said they like it and I believe them, I don't think they'd lie about that. They just like some parts and don't understand others yet

[@KamiGemaGaming]

@@GOGtribute I agree as well, I’ve heard Rana say she’s liked it she gets into a lot of shows easily. However I can’t agree with you with Nahid and Mickey though.

[@coolpuff333]

They aren't shitting on people for trying to help them understand. Not to mention a lot of the comments are just people shitting on them or saying how unhappy they are with reactions. Also some people are definitely still complaining about the dubs. Literally every week there are people being pretty rude about it. They have admitted when they weren't into shows other times and members have stopped watching them before. I think its pretty absurd to act like their being immature or shitty when its the fanbase who has been much more crappy towards them. Fans of the show are lashing out appropriately.

[@KamiGemaGaming]

@@coolpuff333 the thing is from what I’ve seen so far. Only the girls are enjoying the show. The Sub Dub issue that started in episode 18 was caused from ignorant people getting upset over the switch. Followed by what “I BELIEVED” to be an “immature response” from people who I thought were adults. That is the point I am trying to get across. Yes, there are dumbasses in the comments. And No, they in fact do shit talk the fans.

[@FREXISTA]

If they have this much problem with season 1 then I think they should either drop it or watch it alone coz season 2 is literally the dialogue driven plot where every question is answered and new questions arises .even I needed to re-watch season 2 after it ended due to my interest to know more about rezero world and the sole reason I consider it a masterpiece. But this anime is just not for them coz boys are pretty much shounen fans and the review of episode 18 says it all. I like them but I don't think they have any interest in the information of the world of rezero which is the base of season 2 . I am predicting it they will definitely not like season 2 .

I wouldn’t mind the sub vs dub thing if they only watched dubbed shows but they watched AOT Just fine with subs the dub on this show is decent but the sub has so much more emotion.

[@1771soccerstar]

if you feel that way that's great, i personally get more emotion out of things when I can understand the nuance of language. Like which words are emphasized to create more impact and such. I don't know japanese lol so with subs im just reading a translation and listening to something that's gibberish to me bc i don't understand it on its own. even if it's gibberish filled with emotion haha but then it's just one dimensional to me. hearing an emotional performance AND understanding the nuances of the language adds another dimension that just does way more for me. for character heavy shows like this, dubs is a must for me. and it does seem they enjoy it better that way too. even if a lot of them still don't get what the show is about lol

Hey, I really enjoyed the discussion this episode! The pacing really picks up for these episodes so that probably had a lot to do with it. It’s totally fine that you still don’t know a lot about what is happening! It doesn’t help that sometimes the anime has to abridge certain explainations, like how magic works (different elements of spells have different levels, and stuff like that) but for the most part this is very much a mystery series, and there are several big ones that even novel readers are still speculating about as we get more and more clues. I would be much more lost if I didn’t have explanations of things the anime skipped from people who read the novels. I think my favorite part about this series is that Things can get so bleak and depressing when he gets a “bad end”, that it makes the hard won victories more exhilarating when he finally reaches his “good ending”

I don't usually ever say sub over dub I let people enjoy it how they wish to enjoy it and I understand why they went back to dub but it honestly downgrades the episodes and the emotion isn't as intense in english. One of the reasons they hated the rem speech was because it was in english. Rems voice actor isn't great not like her japanese voice. Subaru sounds off in english as well. He just doesn't sound like he should. They needed a much better voice actor to portray how dynamic of a character he is. Sorry but the dub just isn't good compared to Sub.
