@MeAnIntellectu6 I completely disagree, I found most of the cuts to greatly enhance it, but that’s not even the point. It’s not “crucial” when the meaning of the arc is perfectly comprehensible without it. That’s not crucial. It just reinforces the message.
English
@Screen_Takes Arc 3 is a million times weaker in the anime than in the novels. Upon first watch I found it to be no more than an 8/10. It's only in hindsight that I could truly appreciate what they were doing. Had there been fewer cuts it would have been far better
English
My most controversial Re:Zero opinion is that, within the context of Season 1, cutting this was a great choice for preserving the core emotional and thematic beat that’s supposed to be hit in the very next scene. This reveal completely distracts from the ceremony and its fallout.

Provavelmente o corte mais desrespeitoso da história É ofensivo o anime não ter adaptado esse diálogo #ReStick

@MeAnIntellectu6 I agree that it's thematically relevant, but crucial? It was removed and everyone watching perfectly understood the point that Subaru wasn't special. If it was a load-bearing scene, why is Arc 3's messaging crystal even without it?
English
@Screen_Takes Disagree. Al's reveal is a crucial part of the narrative telling Subaru that he's not anything special.

@LustSubaru This is so damn good. His unnatural pose, the shadows, the imposing framing, all contrasted by the backlit confident stance of his normal self. Same person portrayed in opposite ways. This is what people mean when they talk about the direction in the series being great
English
My god.. you can tell exactly the differences plus the parallels between his good and *evil* side 😳🤯

Why you fools argue about the new Cortana design, I’m gonna be smashing my shit crazy style to her, we are not the same.
Nomad Skirata@NomadicAllo
People really out there trying to gaslight people into thinking the new Cortana design is ugly are batshit insane

@AsarathaHS I’m sorry Asa, I can’t larp this one. You’re not how I imagine Axe Guy’s voice at all. In my head, Todd sounds like Jack Quaid.
English
@Everlaft I agree. Season 3 would’ve been the perfect place to introduce it. S3 mentions Hoshin and we see Japanese culture in Priestella. Regulus is defeated with Subaru’s knowledge of our constellations. Earth actually becomes relevant here, so not reincorporating it is a bit baffling.
English
@Screen_Takes Yeah, this reveal would've taken up so much of the viewer's attention that they'd just be asking "but what about Al? Maybe we should ask Al," the entire time without really paying much attention to the rest of what's happening
Breaktime reveal should've been in S3E1 tho lmao
English
There are many cases of this in the medium but how do you even misread this clip like that? She is not being aloof or airheaded, she’s being very intentional in using her sex appeal to tease him? This is how “fanservice” ought to be, no?
Mariam ☧@Gaismair
do the people who watch this type of romance anime with the aloof retarded woman and the manchild think it gets old after its four hundred thousandth adaption or no
English
@AlcoDs666 @Jaereku Emilia IS insecure. Emilia’s insecurity did NOT drive the conflict of Arc 3. People are not saying that Emilia isn’t flawed. Is that what you think we’re arguing? Emilia’s insecurity DOES drive the conflict in Arc 4.
English
@Screen_Takes @Jaereku I don't think it's right for you to insult Tappei like that. Ultimately, it's a mistake on both sides; it's between a boy and a girl who couldn't communicate at that moment, and nothing more, as he himself says in Natrrative, when they meet again.
English
We actually need to do something about these Arc 6 Subaru pfps man
caveson@Cavernousllama
@Esmyso Siendo realista, salvó su candidatura una vez y luego salvó la vida de los niños de un pueblo que está bajo tu jurisdicción. Y Emilia también se equivoca en este arco, tratando a Subaru como un niño y dejándolo afuera en asuntos que le competen a el.
English
@Jaereku The whole “Actually Emilia is wrong because she’s treating Subaru like a child!” talking point thats been cropping up so much lately makes sense when you realize these are 13 year old boys and they hate women because their mom grounds them and makes them do chores sometimes
English
@666helldweller Sarah Moon is awesome. I highly recommend checking out her YouTube channel. She makes great videos.
The same men that whine about censorship and how “everyone gets offended at everything these days” always get offended when a woman makes a joke at their expense. How curious!
English
using your 45k followers platform to invite harassment towards this woman over a nothingburger satire post is crazy
I don't think you got any rights to throw tantrums bc "she said bad things about men" when you promovate islamophobic rhethorics and use slurs you can't reclaim
English
@ZeroSilver18 @Jaereku Nothing I said in that comment is “Western politics.” And yes, Arc 7 is great! Not only does Subaru crossdress, but he also frees the slaves and leads them in rebellion against the government!
You can critique parts of a story while overall loving the direction and themes.
English
@Screen_Takes @Jaereku Then in arc 7 Subaru crossdresses for a large portion of the arc
Hmmmmmm
I honestly think applying western politics to Re:zero is kinda silly honestly. Tappei is gonna write what Tappei wants to write
English
@Jaereku @aeolian550 I genuinely think there’s been an influx of younger male fans who are simply not old enough to have the emotional intelligence, experiences, and life lessons to understand why his behavior is wrong.
English
it's leaking into the subreddit too, wonderful
Ecchidna@aeolian550
i loooooove repeating this discourse every few months 😊 🥰 😜 it always brings out the best in the community 🙏 ❤️ 😍

@lextorias It’s really incredible how no one seems to have actually watched the video. Even the comments here aren’t related to your real argument. You’ve become the face of a position you never articulated. Not really a surprise since these people all have a script they stick to regardless
English
Chuds will post about my nearly 2 year old video as if it’s personally haunting them, and then wonder why the discourse “hasn’t evolved”
If you want new talking points I’d suggest arguing the existing ones instead of treating them like the boogeyman
Mikey NohMore@MikeyNohMore
Leftist discourse on Frieren has not evolved beyond that one retarded video essay Lextorias made in 2024.
