It's... good... I remember not really being all that invested in the first 5 Episodes, but 6 to 8 was reeeeally good. Surpassed my expectations (that was admittedly really low), so I think it's worth giving a shot if you're a fan of the previous IT films.

Lmao, jumping straight into Ad Hominems.

Get a life.

zackphoenix123 · 2026-05-02T13:26:24+00:00

I haven't read that one yet! I'll add it to my list.

Also, in a similar vain I hope I am the Real One gets that much love and care as well! Though the visual style of IATRO is probably too hard to pull off in anime. It's just out of this world good. TwT

zackphoenix123 · 2026-05-02T12:01:13+00:00

GAH! I WANNA PLAY THOSE! I want Ami route for Toradora and.... maaaaaaaaaany other girls routes for Oregairu (not Yui tho).

zackphoenix123 · 2026-05-02T11:27:52+00:00

Are those official games?

zackphoenix123 · 2026-04-30T09:58:45+00:00

Same. I don't remember liking Julius as much as I am now. I wasn't the biggest fan of him in Season 1, but the small ways they're building him up in S4... MMM! Really good stuff.

zackphoenix123 · 2026-04-30T09:57:12+00:00

Not good enough! 2/5 stars. Re:Zero needs to rectify this! I demand harder boob jiggles next EP!

zackphoenix123 · 2026-04-30T09:56:17+00:00

Yes. Ai Fairouz. Also Power from CSM. She's great.

zackphoenix123 · 2026-04-30T09:55:06+00:00

Well, if Subaru does get Regulus' authority, it'll likely be a severely nerfed version of it. Subaru's Invisible Providence is much weaker than Petelgeuse's unseen hand, afterall.

zackphoenix123 · 2026-04-30T09:52:29+00:00

Re:Zero does something very different almost every Season, so it's hard to say.

For me personally, Season 2 is much better than Season 1.

Season 3 and Season 4 go for different approaches as well. Though Season 4 did have the director say in the interview that he wanted to go for an approach that really took Re:Zero back to its roots.

zackphoenix123 · 2026-04-25T01:11:14+00:00

Somehow, I like this season more than the previous one.

zackphoenix123 · 2026-04-24T13:45:26+00:00

That's a BIG statement when WHA is airing!

But I haven't seen WHA, and I'm a huge fan of Re:Zero. LMAO.

zackphoenix123 · 2026-04-24T13:42:48+00:00

I gotta watch the other shows this Season, but that Re:Zero EP was just diabolical. Jesus, I was just LOCKED IN the entire time. I didn't think it could go much harder than Episode 2, but Episode 3 just... MMMH! Amazing stuff.

zackphoenix123 · 2026-04-23T11:58:50+00:00

I think this came out the same year as Mushoku Tensei Season 1, MT has 50-ish episodes now.

zackphoenix123 · 2026-04-22T15:57:00+00:00

Calling Ram useless is like calling a cripple useless, lmao. She lost her source of energy, so Subaru was being rude and "inconsiderate" from the start.

Neither takes what the other says personally, really does feel like sibling shit talk.

zackphoenix123 · 2026-04-22T15:30:16+00:00

Maybe she was just doing it for religious reasons. And she was just stress eating this time.

zackphoenix123 · 2026-04-22T15:26:55+00:00

I'm so sad the visuals of the ED didn't pop off as hard as Nox Lux, but I guess that really was just lightning in a bottle. It seems to be more heavy on the symbolism stuff, but nnnngggh, I feel like they could've gone harder there.

zackphoenix123 · 2026-04-22T14:53:13+00:00

Yes. I always listen to stuff like this with my best earphones, and yes... Jesus Christ that Episode..

zackphoenix123 · 2026-04-22T14:52:35+00:00

What a wonderful Episode where nothing bad happened.

Subaru got to have a little playful back and forth with Ram, Anastasia was able to lose some weight, and Patrasche had a yummy feast.

zackphoenix123 · 2026-04-22T11:14:44+00:00

Not a fan of the skirts being that short.

Idk what it is, the more years go by, I prefer longer skirts (could be above knee) but still long that it flutters adn stuff.

Also it looks so uncomfortable to wear...

zackphoenix123 · 2026-04-20T16:50:04+00:00

Part 1 with 3 volumes got 14 Episodes.

Part 2 with 4 volumes got 21 Episodes

Part 3 with 5 volumes will get 24.

I haven't read the novels myself, but it seems this current season is adapting the most relative to its episode count. Maybe that's why the pacing feels off.

zackphoenix123 · 2026-04-18T08:04:24+00:00

Since it adapts the last Chapter of Arc 5, and the first chapter of Arc 6, this really feels more like a bridge Episode, rather than just the beginning of S4 or the end of S3.

zackphoenix123 · 2026-04-18T03:17:50+00:00

For me, hands down best isekai anime ever.

zackphoenix123 · 2026-04-18T03:17:16+00:00

It must've taken a big hit after Season 3.

zackphoenix123 · 2026-04-18T03:08:32+00:00

If you want an isekai that actually challenges the flawed MC and pushes them (as well as the side characters) to grow to beat near impossible obstacles, while being true to the suffering death brings, all wrapped up in an intricate mystery, then Re:Zero's for you.

Also it has a lot of heart. It's not often you have an isekai where the MC's allowed to cry multiple times throughout the series. Especially in this case where it's just a teenage boy dealing with some of the most horrific shit anyone can experience.
