Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu

Suddenly, high school student Subaru Natsuki has been summoned to another world on the way back from the convenience store. With the biggest crisis of his life being summoned to another world, and with no sign of the one who summoned him, things become even worse when he is attacked. But when he is saved by a mysterious, silver-haired girl with a fairy cat, Subaru cooperates with her to return the favor. When they finally manage to get a clue, Subaru and the girl are attacked and killed by someone. Subaru then awakens in the place he was summoned and notices he gained the ability "Returns by Death" and has become a helpless boy that only has the ability to rewind time by dying. Beyond the despair, can he save the girl from the fate of death?

It's basically Despair: Groundhog day edition. No superpowers except resetting to a certain "flag" until he is able to overcome various bad ends. Read some of the manga, and it's interesting enough. Kinda sad the "what-if" chapter has a happier end lol

Oh, this. Gets pretty dark later on. Bea best.

3rd Arc I think, maybe around episode 9?

 

[derozio]

I don't know anything about this and I'm picking this up only because the name sounds sorta interesting. Comments by you all make me sorta look forward to it a bit more, though.

 

[Akiba]

Yeah, at first I thought it was a happy-go-lucky summoned-to-another-world thing, but

Spoiler:

the Ram/Rem stuff makes for a pretty interesting psychological plot.

Hm... this looks interesting... wait, what Macho just said has now turned me off of this series. I DON'T NEED THAT. NOPE NOPE NOPE. EDIT: Whoops, meant Akiba, not Macho!

But macho didn't post in this thread...??

And I just read the synopsis. It read like generic light novel crap in the beginning till it got to the ability. The ability makes this somewhat interesting. I'd like to see how they use the ability - can be pretty damn good if used right I feel. Since that's a pretty unique power.

 

[Arc]

This is going to be cool.



Pretty as well. CG isn't doing any favours though.

Well a lot of anime now is catered towards being a Light Novel/Manga/Merchandise advertisement lol

Its like how the bean counters love mobile gaming F2P

 

[Skip Class]

I don't usually like a lot female characters but she's is adorable <3

Only just saw the trailer for the first time and it's definitely going on the list!

 

[Akiba]

Yes, Felt a qt.

Spoiler:

I hope she doesn't just disappear after the first arc like she did in the manga.

Unexpected.

Yes, I used a spoiler just for that, but since this is supposed to be unexpected I thought it would be a spoiler somehow lol

Geez, it broke my heart when

Spoiler:

Emilia called herself Satella.

At this rate (5.5 chapters/ep) they'll be on book 2 by episode 3.

 

[Netto Azure]

Yeah 2 episodes for a debut, quite fascinating. A fantasy version of All You Need is Kill LOL

Spoiler:

And so the despair begins.

"Don't call me the jealous witch, Satella" But you are Satella. :P

Started this after my old dormates recommended it. So far, it hasn't been disappointing. The lack of abrasion and embarrassment in the interactions between white-hair and protag is pretty refreshing, even going forward. Plus the designs are pretty fun (and that one time the subs made a liberal-as-hell but eerily fitting reference was, too).

The direction and writing (as an adaptation) is probably what sells this show for me, though. For too many reasons, but I think that it just subverts a number of conventions and calls on some lesser used ones generally does the show a lot of favors. Plus it does Hacking to the Gate better than Steins;Gate did, so all in all I'm enjoying this show a good deal. This season's been fun.
