Edit Synopsis 724y2s

Exiting the convenience store, Subaru Natsuki emerges to a busy town inhabited by humans and demi-humans. Using dragons and carriages as transportation, the town is clearly not the modern-day Japan that he is familiar with. However, as someone who spends his days engrossed in comics and games, Subaru assumes that he is a protagonist in this new fantasy world, harnessing supreme magical powers.

Much to his dismay, that is not the case and things quickly go awry as he bumps into a group of thugs. Fortunately, a silver-haired beauty named Satella comes to his rescue, while looking for her stolen insignia. In return for her kindness, Subaru offers to help with the search, which eventually leads them to a loot shop. Assuming that the insignia was traded for money, Subaru enters the shop hoping to negotiate with the owner regarding the stolen item. However, much to his surprise, what awaits them is not the insignia but a brutal assassin that leads the two to their demise.

But instead of waking up in the afterlife, Subaru is shocked to find himself standing alone in the midst of daytime, as if he never left the town in the first place. Thus, his life in another world mysteriously begins a second time.

Preliminary (400/? eps)
Re : Zero is in it's own category of perfection, it is actually insane how good the author is at writing, this story has everything you need from a perfect protagonist, an amazing sidecast, beautiful and heart wrenching emotions, phenomenal arcs and so much more.

Protagonist : Subaru the most realistic and alive character you'll see in fiction, he's a person with mental issues, inferiority complex, inner conflicts, depression and alturistic. Throughtout the story his development is actually unmatched, I can feel him grow as a person and see him become a better man that it actually makes me feel like he's alive. It's genuinely difficult ...

Preliminary (500/? eps)
Starts out promising but quickly loses focus and descends into mediocrity. The premise has potential and the story beats are fine but the writing is severely lacking on a technical level, most notably in the web novel. The light novel is better but not free of the issues, and apparently has numerous inaccurate translations. In both stories it feels like the story quickly loses its broader direction. Dialogue is often boring or painful to read, the endless flirty banter does nothing to establish sympathy or connection to the characters. Many locations give the impression of existing only as a backdrop for character actions, without establishing ...

Preliminary (1/? eps)
Re zero starts off strong, promising something that could be a standout in the isekai genre. A protagonist thrown into another world with the power to rewind time upon death, like it’s a concept that could lead to real tension, consequences, and permanent loss. But instead of letting the story take actual risks, it gets stuck in a frustrating cycle of trial and error, where Subaru can brute force his way through problems until he stumbles onto the right answer.

The biggest issue isn’t that Subaru doesn’t suffer. He absolutely does, and the emotional weight of his deaths can be felt in some arcs. But the ...
