Warning this review may contain spoilers.

First impressions, so I was pretty hesitant to check this show out because of all the hype and hate that was around it so after a while I was like fuck it.
I want to see want the people are buzzing about.

Story, 4/10

So the story of re zero begans with subaru a neet who just doing his day to day things.
When out of the blue for no reason at all he gets transported to a generic fantasy world.
Man where haven't I heard this before.
While exploring this new world he gets attacked by a group thugs but is saved by beautiful girl by the name of satella who is looking for her insignia that was just stolen from her
Deciding to help her look for it
In thanks for her kindness in helping him with those thugs.
Eventually that mange to find where is and try and get it back.
After finding where it is subaru and Stella are brutally murdered.
Then subaru reawakens fine as rain.
but something is off he finds that events that happen before seem to repeating themselves, realizing that he gone back in time he going to try and stop the events and save satella from her death.

So the basic idea of this story is time resets and saving wifuus.

Now I will be honest I do kind of have a personal beef with story's that use time resets
As a concept,
Looking at you clanland after story and eased.
Now Despite my distaste for these kinds of story's.
I must admit that there is some actually good ideas in this story which kind of shocked me a little because I didn't expect much,
And why should I from a story that has that as a gimmick

So the idea which I thought where good,

Was the idea that every time the main character dies,
He try's to learn and use different ways to try and Solve the problem at hand.
Like for example in The first arc he found out about the shop keeper and the thief girl and the person who killed him,
He wouldn't have known that unless he tried to find out what was going on.
And i really like that kind of approach.

The other idea which I thought was pretty good,
Is the idea of when the main character tries to do everything buy-himself like a good pro tag kun should,
But He gets slapped in the face by reality multiple times,
telling him that he can do quite a few things but some times there are things he can't do alone and that maybe he should get help.
Which was drilled into him quite hard when he was fighting the witches cult.
Because for the first 5 times he tried it by himself and failed,
But when he decided to get help it worked out better.
And I really like that message because I have seen to many stories especially now a days that always has the protag kun doing pretty much everything like it requires no effort at all.

But sadly that doesn't mean that this is a master piece it's very far from it actually.

Because even though it has some good ideas here and there.
The rest of it ideas are pretty bland and there is just nothing really that note worthy where.

Another problem I have is that it always has to draw attention to sied good ideas like it done something that hasn't been done before,
It like small child trying to get your attention so it can show you the cool thing it did,
Look at me look at this idea,
I would have preferred if they let said ideas play out instead of contently drawing attention to that,
For example in the second arc,
they based the twins story arc on an old Japanese folk tale
Yet though out that entire arc it keeped on going back to it like you didn't get it the first time especially when they mention the story and tell it to you.
Which makes me quite sad because that was probably my favorite arc.

But I think my major criticism is that it takes itself so seriously and content wise it was anything but serious.
Because everything is done In such an over the top manner
That how could i take this seriously.
Like when the show has these dramatic moments or dark parts,
I am ether laughing my guts out or just cringing my teeth so hard my mouth was bleeding,
Especially when you have one arc centered around a mentally retarded joker and friends.

I guess my final problem is that there is quite a lot of unanswered questions and plot points that need to rapped up,
So basically it's going to need that second season.
Like for example why was the main character brought to this world or what is his connection to the which.
I may never know,
Especially since I am to lazy to read the light novel right now.

Characters, 5/10

The Main character subaru is kind of this very average otaku person.
Who happens be very prideful and kind of thinks that the fantasy world revolves around him.
And in all honesty that all he got going for him pretty much.
But I really do like where they took his character,
Because at the start he was basically trying to be hero this knight of some sort,
Like you good pro tag kun.
But as the situations get more intense and dire he finds that he can't actually handle it all by himself.
Especially when he brakes down.
But you don't just get that in an episode.
But he goes through this nice little development
Where he finally realized that he isn't that important and that he can do many things but do everything by himself is impossible.

The side characters for the most part where a fine cast of characters.

For me they did the roles they where given well,
But dose this mean they where good characters.
Yes and no.
Because on the one hand
I feel that they do a good enough job and that there isn't really any characters I hated or found bothersome.
But at the same time there really isn't that much character development or fleshing,
Unless you count the twins and Stella and the old sword guy I guess if we are talking about fleshing out.

I also found all the bad guys really bad.
That where like a parody of actual good villains,
Because he have the crazy assassin,
The magic puppy and girl,
And my personal favorite the joker mentally retarded inbreed bother in law.

Also rem is best girl and fuck every one else.

Art, 6/10

The animation for this show actually looks quite nice,
I do believe the background animation could have been done better,
But the animation dose shine very well when they do these dramatic scenes that look actually very nice.
It also uses a very wide range of colors which fits the moods that very scene dose.
So I guess you can say that the colors are pretty.

It has this very generic JRPG fantasy style to it which I don't really dislike,
But I wish that they would try something at lest different.

The characters design are kind of things that probably most of us has seen before,
But I do like the difference in all of them,
So it doesn't feel as generic as I should have.

Sound, 5/10

Both op and ending I found where all right,
But nothing really noteworthy for me at lest,
I only liked the second op which I thought was quite nice to listen to.

The ost was on point and I think it's sounds alright.
But there really was nothing in there saying I want to listen to this again and again.

Like if you looking for ost to listen to you should probably give this a shot,
Because there probably something that at lest some of you will like.

Enjoyment, 6/10

I think what shocked me the most is how much fun I had with this show.
I really liked the over all ride which was re zero,
Because I was never actually bored because I was laughing to much.
I also found it fun to make theories to guess what will happen next and what not.
Also I really liked the thing about the witch,
Which is funny because that was the reason I was watching it

Overall, 4/10

If you looking for a show that will entertain you and nothing more or you like show where you want to guess what's happening,
Then Probably check this out

But if you some one who doesn't really like light novels or any of the eilk then probably stay away.
