My partner and I watched the redo healer anime with no idea what it was about aside from revenge. They wondered what the uncensored version was all about and we watched the first episode. We quickly learned this was a hentai. And we formed the strongest bond you can have with a person. A trauma bond.

The funny thing is that the story of redo is pretty good, but they forced sex scenes upon you every 5-10 mins which was a turn off. . . We got it after the first 3 episodes, you didn't need to keep going with it you can just imply it at that point and continue the story.

Of those that I have read and watched, most generally do want to go home, and if they do actually go back home, it's usually after they became the next messiah and deleted all of their problems from existence using their newly acquired powers, which may or may not include time-travel. When it comes to those who don't want to go home, they end up falling into one of a few categories: 1. They have been reincarnated and enjoy living in the world they now found themselves in (Knight's & Magic/In A New World With A Smartphone/Magician's Grandson) 2. They are ambivalent about their situation (The Lazy King/The Lazy Dungeon Master) 2. While in this new world they have different priorities, which range from opening up a pet shop to getting revenge: (Kemeno Michi/The Death Mage Who Does Not Want a Fourth Time/ I'm A Villager, So What?/Nidome no Yuusha)

A lot of people would’ve given up.

The show has a lot of holes and its not a great story (although the redo premise is interesting). However, its explained his healing is less 'healing' and more 'creation'.

@@Ergeniz Level caps can make sense and the whole sex thing, well in RPGs you can get XP for all sorts of things. Having sex with a higher level character could be mechanically equivalent to defeating a higher level monster. And therefore provide a boost.

I feel the need to point out something with some interesting implications. Redo of Healer is getting a side story/variant/Another Side type entry to the franchise, based on the idea that when Kearu/Keyaru/Keare healed the world to go back in time... It actually healed the world and people are less shit- or landed in an alternate timeline where they were never shit. It's a bit hard to figure out, but either way, it means that, unable to justify his revenge, the Healer instead... opens a Café. "Hospitality of Healer."

You know, It would be kinda cool if a "The entire world is obsessed with this one magic toy" anime delved into the capitalist implications that came with the premise. Like, what about the other smaller games that got beat out by that one toy and the fans of that toy started a rebellion using the failed competitor and adjusting them to fit with the rules of the world owning toy/game? I'd watch that. Also recovering life/health points via self care sounds actually sounds pretty wholesome, minus the boob part. Like a gifted mage who's constantly crafting powerful new spells, but they use up health/mana points a lot, and also going on tons of quests and errands for you fellow guild members because you're terrified of being a burden, but they heal by taking a break and doing things they enjoy. It'd also be a neat justification for getting healed by sleeping.

I'm convinced that Redo the Healer is a Comedy Anime. K, here's the scenario: You are a princess/ mage/ hero and someone you need in their party refuses to use their healing power because it gives the PTSD. Do you: A) Develop a positive personal relationship with the healer, turning into the rock he can lean on and trust (Nice romantic subplot, could sell some figurines) B) Order a False Flag assault against his home village and blame it on the BBEG in hopes that his need for revenge outweighs his mental trauma (Could set up for a nice plot twist mid series. Good Drama.) C) Leave him behind. Dead weight is worse that no weight (Not the most interesting, the most logical.) Correct, the Answer was "D) Break his mind with Drugs and ...gratiuitous amounts of sexual abuse... for some reason." You know, like a normal hooman being.

Absolutely will refuse to recommend redo of healer to anyone unless they're genuinely numb to rape scenes. I went into that one blind and couldn't stomach it and it actually fucked me up for a few days just watching one episode. I like my hentai and ecchi shows but as a female viewer, it doesn't matter if what she did to him was horrible, the whole anime is just a rape fantasy trauma topia that didn't need to be made at all. The MC could have easily just not have had anything to do with her after getting the flashback and been a normal hero with some more fun ecchi in there with consent. I don't even know why I finished the one episode. I guess I was just too shell shocked to turn it off :/

[@lalunafelis]

I mean, I have seen worse hentai and fine with it, but that's only because I know that the rapists are portrayed as absolute bastards that are not meant to be sympathized with, and their victims do not take pleasure in taking their revenge on them if they do. The only reason why this show doesn't sit well with me is that how the writer is trying so hard to make the MC the "sympathetic" one to justify his actions, even if it's clear that he's just a psychopath(before anyone goes at me, I'll say that I read glimpses of the LN so I know what I'm talking about). Even more disturbing is that there are people who think psychopathy is a "good" thing to be "idolized".

[@kurumibestgirl681]

I mean the plot is pretty good and original. Protagonist actually has personality, doesn’t refuse to kill, isnt overnice, no virgin white knight personality, and actually isn’t a dense dumbass. Which is probably why I genuinely enjoyed redo healer. If the anime was trying to avoid the revenge plot it would probably end up being another generic harem anime with cliched ecchi scenes.

In fact, so is the main character being just a brain in a titanium shell, although granted, that's also from GITS to start with.

[@WraithMagus]

I said this the moment I saw Ex: Arm for the first time - it is *THE ROOM* of anime! It is TRANSCENDENTLY awful! This is an anime where characters cease existing then exist again but in totally different locations between cuts. This is a show where you can make a drinking game with your friends, but you have to take a sip every 5 times you notice a blatant shortcut where they reused a clip from later IN THE SAME EPISODE to fill time even though it makes no sense in context, because you'll be noticing this so often. It constantly resorts to stupid smoke filters or motion blur to cover the fact that they didn't bother to put textures on the airplane or animate the robot that's supposed to be punching, so they just zoom in on the fist really fast with shakey cam. That's when they aren't - I KID YOU NOT - zooming in on their own works to just show a face so zoomed-in upon that they left the 3D MODEL blurry and pixelated even though they could have done a reshoot at any time, almost certainly because they didn't finish whatever background or action was supposed to be going on in the scene, so it's just a zoom-in of a character's face for 10 seconds while sound effects happen. This is worse because they have NO IDEA how to animate a character's facial expression, so the main girl has this same stupid monkey-like grin on at all times, even when she's screaming in terror. The second-in-command woman has such a vacant thousand-mile-stare that she looks like an inflatable sex doll. This is a show with a plot so half-baked they have a scientist character just to do technobabble, but they didn't even bother coming up with an excuse for anything or even giving the villains ANY MOTIVATION for their terrorist acts, so they just don't use her for anything at all. It's so much worse than its "animation" looks. This is the worst anime ever made on a holistic level, as they've failed on every possible front on the most basic, fundamental levels of editing and filmcraft and you ABSOLUTELY need to see this with all your friends and a big bucket of popcorn so you can give it the MST3K roasting it was DESTINED to become! EDIT: I put this in another thread, but I realized I really needed to put it here to show you how it's not just bad animation, everything from top to bottom is self-satirizing: You know that really famous part of The Matrix, where Neo needs to learn Kung-fu, so they download Kung-fu into his brain, and he goes "Whoa!... I know Kung-fu!" and starts fighting in one of the most legendary cinematography scenes ever made? The Ex-Arm version of that (and I mean, they HAD to be deliberately trying to reference The Matrix, because they're DECLARING WAR ON SF, presumably in the sense of "trying to make the whole idea of science fiction so unpalatable that nobody will watch sci-fi again") is that after getting control of Alma for the first time and being really uncoordinated controlling a killbot, Alma gets him to have instant mastery of controlling a combat robot's body and using kung fu moves he doesn't know simply by telling him "Have you ever watched Kung fu movies? Just be like that." BAM, suddenly he knows both how to control a kill-droid AND Kung-fu just because he watched a kung-fu movie once. Yes, they give THAT little of a shit about making the plot make sense! That sounds exactly like something a satire would do, I know, but, but they seriously act like this is supposed to make the protag-kun look not just cool, but like this random kid is somehow better than the "elite cyborg team from the future" he's forced to be a part of.

[@WraithMagus]

I have to question just how good it could have been to start with, however. I mean, it's certainly possible that the director is just SO BAD that they forgot to put any of the actual plot in the story, so the manga versions of the terrorists actually DID have a motivation but nobody told the anime guys, for a start, but even at best, I have to look at the decision to make Akira getting authorization to hack things (something he could do in the first episode WITHOUT needing to do this) require the lesbot and girl cop kiss is so LUDICROUSLY contrived that it couldn't have come from anything but the manga to start with and that just puts us in Pandora in the Crimson Shell territory. And Pandora in the Crimson Shell did the whole "brain in a armored box that hacks stuff while also hanging our core concept on robotgirl kisses" thing WAAAAY better than Ex-Arm ever even hopes to, and it was a DELIBERATELY goofball story. Basically, I can only presume it was trying to DECLARE WAR ON Ghost in the Shell, and wound up being Pandora in the Crimson Shell: the shit version even in the manga version BEFORE the supposed "anime guys" burned every last scrap of potential straight through the ground.

[@WraithMagus]

@@lostnemesis Saying they don't believe in storyboards kind of makes sense, considering as this show has just jaw-dropping holes in continuity. From something like a shot where they zoom the camera around a robot to show that it's surrounded by dog robots that are all teleported away, then Kondo and Other Guy are firing rifles vaguely somewhere off-camera for some reason while standing in front of a wall. Then there's a shaky cam and a motion lines filter put on the screen while it zooms in on the immobile arm of the robot. Then it cuts to Alma teleporting in front of the robot where she wasn't there before and there should be parts from those dog robots instead, but she gets nudged by what little they can animate of the robot moving its arm, so Alma goes flying like she's a helium balloon. Then, it cuts to Kondo and Other Guy looking up as Alma veeery slooowly floats over them as they are now hiding behind an overturned car in the middle of the street for some reason. Then they have a scene where Akira sends more dog robots after the big robot even though he doesn't hack those dog robots until later in the episode where that exact same scene gets reused frame-for-frame IN THE SAME EPISODE. I mean, I'm not saying the manga was this awful, just that it was a normal kind of generic sci-fi stuff that probably didn't think its concepts through nearly enough and covered it up with cheesecake to keep the kids who hadn't read Ghost in the Shell or Pandora in the Crimson shell before to know where it's ripping off all its material. It's only absolutely everything about the anime being awful that manages to make it go from mere trash to such an absolute flaming everything wreck that it somehow transforms into a Dadaist piece of anti-art art. It's also, hilariously, given top billing on Crunchyroll as a "Crunchyroll Exclusive". You know, like they paid EXTRA to get this just on Crunchyroll, thinking it would be a blockbuster. It was even put in the carousel of shows on the front page of Crunchyroll where it featured alongside them bragging that they've got the entire original run of Gundam up on Crunchyroll now or new seasons of big-name anime. They thought this was going to be a hit.

@@fenrirr22 i don't think you get the joke Theres a reason harem comedy is also the number one guilty pleasure genre. They are good no matter how bad they are Because they can be complete dogshit and people will still love them Take me and my relationship with Girls Bravo, a dumpster fire to rival hand shakers But i love it

The reason he wasn’t able to heal that girl was because she died and I don’t think you can heal somebody that’s already dead.

[@youtube-kit9450]

Didn't he literally turn back time by using "healing" powers? So pretty sure you can heal dead people if you can do some dumbass shit like that.

[@soicysam6606]

[@kirabad-artist6532]

The reason is probably because she wasn’t relevant to the plot

"-and you'll begin to understand what a fearless hero Google Stadia really is-" Every one of these videos always has one line that makes me pause and take off my headphones for a bit because I _just fucking CAN'T anymore_ Never stop, Geoff. Never. Also I'd say Ex-arm's declaration of war was fairly apropos - I'm pretty sure they've violated MULTIPLE anime treaties as it is

[@vitorhenriquefarias8916]

the first anime in the list looks like a rejected rwby volume

[@agogobell28]

Somehow, it looks WORSE than the early RWBY volumes; I’d probably chalk that up to Ex-Arm’s complete lack of *any* character facial expressions, which at least RWBY volume 1 spent effort on. It just makes Ex-Arm’s characters look like dolls or animatronics at a theme park.

3:20 I take issue with this statement. The issue was not that they are "film and game guys", but rather that those specific individuals had no animation experience. Many game development studios, in particular, have enormous experience at GC animation. Much more so than most anime studios do.

I think my favorite trash of the season is a redo of healer. The level of cartoonish evil involved is just astonishing, there is no point in condoning or rejecting the actions of the MC. I merely watch on and say "THEY LIVE IN A SOCIETY"
