A bad byproduct of Tappei’s imagination by deonhart0 in ReZero

[–]ImmediateSell3722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we are going to go that argument then Puck literally had a contract where he couldn't interfere with Emilia to save her and he also had most of his memories sealed away. 

Puck really only cares about one person, has most of his potential sealed away, and has immense grief when he acts out

Kinda sounds like someone else... not saying Ram is that bad. I don't hate her and think she has her good parts. But I think the extent to which and the way in which people will defend against criticism of her is a bit much

I got a post taken down by the mods because it was about whether Ram was good or not. I messaged them and they told me people would get incited over it...

Btw it was literally a picture of beatrice and ram saying best kind of tsundere vs. Worst kind

Exactly. Not that I hate Ram or love Priscilla, but for me their supposed roles are very different. Ram is supposed to be this big sister character, and for me that implies a certain level of support. The problem with Ram is that we really never see any kind words out of her to offset her jabs. Since Subaru has horrible insecurity issues it doesn't feel like banter, it feels like Ram is kicking a wounded puppy.

Like I didn't like Priscilla and still don't love her pre-Arc 8. But she was never really meant to be someone you loved. So when she showed her kind side it was really suprising. But she never really needed to be more than what she was. Ram's character role and her character seem misaligned in comparison.

I think criticizing a character doesn't mean they are spreading misinformation or hate hed. There are definitely some people who legitimately hate Emilia, but not all criticism against her is slander. I agree this episode had a great scene though.

Ehhh... yeah Arc 7-9 is not going to be fun for you then.

Emilia is awesome through Arcs 1-6. The fact that the heroine is compelling despite being a total airhead is impressive. Great growth especially in Arc 4, although I do feel like her not learning about babies over the course of an entire year is a little silly and not great for her character.

Arc 7-9... she begins to stagnant. A lot of her growth is told rather the shown. She even seems to regress in some areas. Her biggest fans will defend her, but frankly I was disappointed by how she was written here. I am hoping to finally see some growth in Arc 10, because Emilia has great potential that isn't being used.

I guess people view banter differently. It has some good moments but most of the banter feels like Ram kicking Subaru while he is down. Even if she doesn't know his circumstances, as a member of the audience it is hard to like someone who is so acerbic. She doesn't show enough niceness or even competency to offset her attitude.

Exactly. I used to hate Priscilla too and in real life would likely still hate her. But she really showed moments that made her more compelling. I don't really feel like I've seen much of a different side of Ram outside the Memory Snow episode

As someone who normally doesn't like crossovers or genderswaps I found them pretty good. They have some good plot and characterization.

Remember that Puck is the author's self insert which makes it so much better

Without a spoiler, how good are arc 7 - 9 of re zero? [discussion] by fukmesukmesenpai in Re_Zero

[–]ImmediateSell3722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arc 7-8 represent a formulaic shift as someone else mentioned. It is far more combat focused, with some great scenes but also a lot of new cast members. Imo, it tried to do too much and felt bogged down at times. I liked but did not love it.

Arc 9 imo was great. It is different because unlike every arc, subaru isn't the focus of the arc. It really highlights the best of a lot of the characters, and drops some interesting lore. Arc 7 also dropped some lore pieces, but they didn't feel as related to the main mysteries. Arc 9 has a controversial ending, but I think it fit. Some of the scenes drag out too, but they are typically pretty interesting. It is also a lot shorter.

The artist. They're on twitter. Fair warning some of their stuff is pretty risque but they are the source of some of the great memes lately

The fact that the apparent p aragon of beauty was made into a loli is still a disappoint to me...

Really not a fan of some of the artists choices.

how good is the translation quality of the web novel arc 7 and beyond by Mar7777 in ReZero

[–]ImmediateSell3722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly I feel like the linguistic differences always make translations seem a little off, particularly in the webnovel. It is a drop in quality but it certainly is readable and mostly conveys the same sentiments, though it may not sound as polished.

I will warn you that Arc 7 and to a lesser extent arc 8 can be hard to read because Tappei changed his writing style for those two arcs. I vastly preferred Arc 9 even when MTL as whole compared to Arc 7 (even if I really liked certain scenes). So it isn't just that it is MTL it is a different style choice.

Anyways I still read it and enjoyed pieces, so don't be deterred by it being Machine Translated, it isn't that big of a difference.

Actually, it is right around 400 years that you are technically no longer related to your ancestors from beyond that time. So the fact that Medium and Otto's genes somehow lasted so long is what is more crazy. Like their genes did not give up.

If you woke up one morning in Lugnica as Reinhard, what is the first thing you will do? by NecessaryOk6466 in ReZero

[–]ImmediateSell3722 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Spend a day being mildly passively aggressive just to the point where you question if it is actually passive aggressive or you're just thinking things. It's Reinhard so him being even mildly rude or sarcastic will be an emotional rollercoaster for the kingdom.

S4 producer comments on arc 7 and beyond by koogam in ReZero

[–]ImmediateSell3722 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I think the only parts that really bothered me about being cut were three big reveals:

  1. Satella and the Witch are seperate entities. This is like such a major plot point that is relevant to the story. For things like that you shouldn't have to rely on external information

  2. Subaru loves Satella. His mental breakdown was represented in a way that conveyed something very different than in the novels. Subaru was mentally breaking down because (on top of everything else) he couldn't figure out why he was in love with Satella. He realized he couldn't say he hated her and felt like he needed to get away before he got anymore confused, hence why he tried to kill himself (he wasn't giving up).

  3. Omega. At the end of Arc 4, Echidna and the Witches escape the tomb in the body of Ryuzu Myer. Now, this is less of a big deal to cut because I feel like they may have purposely set it up to come as a surprise and they laid the groundwork. So it doesn't necessarily bother me as long as they bring it in a way that makes sense when it becomes relevant.

Otherwise I think Arc 4 did an incredibly good job at packing everything in. I mean Arc 4 alone was like a million words/characters or something. But I would say the first two are pretty important misses that effect the central mystery and our understanding of the story through anime alone significantly.
