We appreciate your support. Thanks.

You make valid arguments and we're not going to disagree, but to play devil's advocate for a moment here. When a jury decides their verdict they're not supposed to combine all charges together, they're supposed to look at each individual charge, so if you look at it in that context you could see how they would come to that conclusion. If this case was purely about the unbecoming charge they would be guilty. However, the writers clearly just put it in to have a bittersweet ending and to push their message. We agree with the rest of your argument. Thanks for commenting.

@@everythingus8428 Yeah the whole keeping their crimes separate during the trial, might sound all good in theory, but in practice its simply unrealistic. There's no way to keep that separate. The jury can't be sitting there thinking...."OK, so I agree with the defense, that these soldiers had no choice but to follow the orders of their superiors, without question. So they can't be held responsible for the murder charges. Now moving on to the conduct unbecoming of a soldier. I think they should've known they were making a poor decision, even though the orders were given by their superiors. So they should've refused those orders and stood up to those officers. So they are guilty as charged for those crimes" You see, that would totally contradict with what got them off of the murder charges.

@@jeremybr2020 We're not disagreeing with your critique. You're not wrong, all we're suggesting is that that's how it's supposed to be and from a writing standpoint in a fictional story you could see why the writer would make that choice. Realistically, you're right a jury wouldn't be able to disassociate the crimes, but in theory, they're supposed to.

The date on the cover is when the comic is supposed to be taken off the shelf while its actual release date is usually a few months prior. However, most people don't know that, so when someone looks at a cover date they assume that's when it's released, so that's what we normally cover. As for this specific comic, the difference was almost a year, so it was notable, but ultimately unimportant, which is why we brushed over it with a comment. However, you're entitled to your opinion, thank you for watching and commenting. We will note however, that even if we didn't know what cover dating was it wouldn't make our opinion of the story invalid. You don't have to know everything about a topic to give fair criticism or praise to something and if that's your standard for judging things you're never going to be satisfied with anything. Just our opinion.

Thanks for the information. We'll have to check those out eventually.

@@everythingus8428 well, Angel links is worth seeing once in my opinion, but also outlaw star is the far superior anime. I don’t think there are any thin translations of the outlaw star manga.

You have a right to your opinion, but we disagree. If it was a character study on Subaru they wouldn't need to rely on contrived plots and anime tropes to tell their story. What's the study in him throwing himself off of a cliff and figuring out his powers only to forget that he had done that and is suddenly afraid to die after dying like three times by that point? You can like the anime all you want. We bare you no grudge on that. We even concede by the end of our review that we understand why people would like this anime. We could go on and on about the inconsistencies and bad storytelling in this show, but it's our opinion. However, saying that we missed the point of the show is an arrogant statement saying that we just don't get the anime and we did. We just didn't like it. Like whatever you want and we'll like what we want, but just because somebody doesn't like what you like doesn't make what you like good.

​@@everythingus8428 There's a few reasons that Subaru doesn't commit suicide constantly. First off, dying is a painful experience. Subaru is also remarkably resistant to blacking out (imo this is just a story device so that the author can continue to describe the scenario from Subaru's POV while he dies), and thus feels the pain of dying all the way up until he actually dies. Second, suicide requires you to overcome your own survival instinct, which for most people is a difficult thing to do. Third, Subaru isn't 100% sure that he will actually revive each time. You can see this in Episode 7, where he questions if he dies if he will come back again, since he only died 3 times in the Capital. And while it seems obvious to the viewer that he has unlimited revives, there will always be doubt in Subaru's mind, since fundamentally, he doesn't understand how or why he has this power. There are a number of other explanations that could fit and would be indistinguishable. For instance, he could get a finite number of lives (similar to a video game, where after dying so many times, you get a "game over"), he could get a finite number of lives per checkpoint (also similar to a video game), his revives could consume some resource that might eventually run out (perhaps rewinding more time consumes more of this resource), perhaps it is infinite, but he could lose his power somehow (for instance RBD is externally powered (like God lets him revive) and gaming the system could let him lose him favor and have God remove RBD). These are all indistinguishable from each other with Subaru's current knowledge (at least from where you guys watched to). Now while you the viewer may be comfortable with taking the 99.9% odds that you would get another life, I do not think you would trivialize an action where you had a 1 in 1000 chance to die. An interesting discussion is the how confident should Subaru be in his ability to revive, which I will link you to en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sunrise_problem for a mathematical approach (though inherently flawed as would anything, given how little we know about RBD). I would disagree on saying that Re:Zero is inconsistent, in fact, I would assert the opposite, that it is one of the most consistent pieces of work that I've ever seen. There are so many details and specially character details that are present before they're ever explicitly acknowledged or told to Subaru, though I am not really all that surprised since you didn't watch Season 2 yet, and that's where a number of details are acknowledged, and before then I certainly can see how people could think of them as inconsistencies. For the most part I'd say that you've likely misunderstood the characters and in the misunderstanding have thought that there was an inconsistency, when really, you're original understanding was just flawed / incomplete. If there are some particular points that you feel are inconsistent, I'd be happy to go through a few of them (though do tell me if you want all of the spoilers or if you just want me to tell you that it's explained later. I imagine it will be hard for me to get my points across with out explicit spoilers). Bad storytelling is mostly subjective and liking an anime is certainly subjective, so I won't argue with you on that, other then I disagree, but to each their own. You have your right to your opinion as well. "However, saying that we missed the point of the show is an arrogant statement saying that we just don't get the anime" I will concede that that was arrogant on my part, I just find it frustrating when people shit on Re:Zero when in my experience, 90% of them misinterpreted what the show is about. I've just seen probably 30 groups react to Re:Zero, so I'd like to think I've seen pretty much every reaction to it, and from my experience, people with opinions and points like yours either, don't have the patience to be ok with things not being resolving quickly, have misguided expectations about the length of the anime (the 50 episodes are only ~25% of the story, and I've been told that the main story only accounts for ~60% of what the author has written in universe) (this usually leads to opinions like they should of cut more of the dialogue and why are there unresolved / unnecessary parts to the story, when most of the time it's foreshadowing of some sort or informing the viewer about events that Subaru isn't really privy to (but nonetheless effect his story, since they affect other characters decisions)), or don't pay attention to the dialogue (generally thinking that it's not important) and only pay attention when there's action. I wouldn't recommend continuing with Re:Zero Season 2 and instead I would highly recommend checking out Summertime Render. It's a complete adaption and it take more of an approach like you two suggested would improve Re:Zero, so I think it'll be a better fit for you two.

@@everythingus8428 I've watched through the rest of your video, and I'm more in the mood for a debate, so I'll go over some of your points. 1. Why didn't Subaru just train to be a Master Swordsman with Wilhelm? As you correctly pointed out, Subaru's body would reset each time, and so he wouldn't actually get any stronger, and could only train muscle memory. However, Subaru could train his whole natural life, and still not be able to beat Wilhelm, he's just that good (the 2nd and 3rd EX novels go into more detail, which I haven't read yet and only heard a ton of things second hand from it). 2. Why didn't Subaru train his magic? This is similar to training to be a swordsman, but it's worse. First off the whole reason that Subaru is going to the Capital in the first place is to heal his gate, which is the organ that allows you to perform magic. Remember he injured his gate in Arc 2 (the mansion arc) when Puck (poorly) taught him how to use magic, resulting in him basically doing the equivalent of having some lift their first weights by trying to deadlift 200 lbs (idk if this is accurate or not, I don't lift, but I think you can easily imagine a scenario similar to this), and then injuring their back. Additionally, Subaru has a small mana pool (I would say that it's actually above average, since the average person doesn't have enough mana capacity to even cast a basic spell like Shamac, which Subaru can more or less, barely do), so even if his gate was fully functioning and Subaru was better at utilizing it, he would still only be able to cast a few basic spells, before either injuring his gate or not being able to cast more. This isn't really enough to be a dependable power and would be very limited in situations where it would be useful. 3. One of you (I don't know you're voices to know which one) correctly mentioned that the whale subjection group isn't really Subaru's army, and is more similar to a task force, which Subaru was able to use the favor he gained in defeating the White Whale to convince them to loan him some of the men for an extra mission afterwards. I don't know if friends is the correct word to use, though I do think it's accurate. Subaru make an alliance between the Emilia camp and the Crusch camp (for which the info on the White Whale was the critical sweetener), so I'd classify them as more then friends. The Iron Fang doesn't have any alliance with the Emilia camp, but them being traders makes them particularly interested in getting rid of the White Whale, since it costs them lots of lives / time (which affects how efficiently they can trade goods between different places). 4. On the note that you don't know where the story is going from here. I can pretty much guarantee you don't know don't where the story is going to go (at a minimum for Season 2). But even beyond that, I only have a vague idea for the same 2 plot lines you mentioned, the Royal Selection and the Witches. I can pretty much guarantee you that the witches will be the last arc, so probably animated in like 2 decades. There is still a lot to explore in the premise I'd say and I think that 5. I don't think Subaru will ever be considered conventionally strong at any point of the story. He does get stronger, but if you watch Season 2, you'd understand what I mean when I say that no matter how Subaru trains, or picks up powerful weapons, he'll never be able to beat some matchups. In fact, in some sense, he's already over powered with RBD, letting him get information, which given enough time, can be used to butterfly effect his way to favorable scenarios. But even this has it's weaknesses as shown by Season 2 episode 1. 6. "I think it would be more interesting for Subaru to wake up in his own world" That would be very interesting, and is imo the best episode of Re:Zero (in Season 2), though what you describe is almost certainly not going to happen at any point (some sort of, it was all a dream, or just permanently going back to his own world). 7. You're certainly not alone in greatly disliking the "bad" parts (episode 13 comes to mind). But imo these aren't actually poorly written, they're just uncomfortable to experience, and especially in the case of episode 13, you just don't really know Subaru and Emilia enough, and filling that void with "normal people" stuff is a mistake. To be clear, Subaru and Emilia are not normal people (well, Subaru is almost normal), they're experience's are more similar to that of someone who has a mental development disorder, like autism (not exactly like that). Once you learn their backstories, and analyze their characters, I think you'll see episodes 12 and 13 in a different light (at least I did), and while I don't think it really fully justifies all of their actions, I do think it very adequately explains why they did it. 8. You were on point for Emilia's feelings at the end. If you have any other questions you want me to answer, I'll probably be interested in answering them.

@@baseballlover723 We appreciate your passion on this. You must really like the anime for you to feel so strongly on the subject and some of your points are valid. It's true that from his point of view maybe a one in a thousand chance would be enough to stop him from using his powers over again. Maybe this is enough to get him to question his sanity and other plot points and such, but our argument is that he jumps back and forth between being okay and not being okay at the wrong times in the anime. His freak-out should have been earlier in the season when everything was first happening, not after everything has happened. We don't hate the show and we're not trying to shit on it for the sake of shitting on it. We are a review show and as we said in our review there are some aspects we like, but there are just a lot of things that we don't. For Instance, we believe the main character is an insufferable arrogant prick that treats the people around him except for the person he loves like garbage until he can what he wants out of them and even with Emilia he's still a jerk as he only thinks about what he wants and not what she does. Then there is the fact that he believes that the world revolves around him, which is fine if he ever suffers the consequences for his actions, which he doesn't, because everything just resets. The writer essentially tells us that his point of view is correct when they fall on main character and harem tropes where in the end everybody loves him. If this was the complicated character study you claim it is everything wouldn't be so perfectly wrapped up. I'm sure you'll make an argument about how later in the next seasons or in the manga they fix these situations or explain certain things, but that's not how this works. You don't automatically get your audiences. You have to prove in your first season that you are capable of giving your viewers what they want to see. We shouldn't have to watch a second season or read the manga to figure out some of these questions or if you did you would have to give them a compelling story or something else to make those people want to come back and this just didn't do that. In fact, it became predictable. Every scenario is now the same, he keeps messing up until he figures out the right combination of events and gets it right. It doesn't matter if the events within those stories are different if you're telling the same story over and over again. The agency and drama are lost because of this, so they might as well be in a video game as no death will matter. As for covering more we really don't decide that. In our current order, we are picking what we want, but the basic premise of our show is that we review anime from A to Z, which normally means we put anime in a wheel and let it choose what we watch, so when we make our way back to category R this might show back up and we'll cover it and give it our best objective opinion that we can, because that's all we do is give our honest opinion on the anime we watch. Though we do appreciate the recommendation, I'm sure we'll get to that in time as well. Anyway, we do appreciate you watching the video and just to be clear we do respect your opinion. We just disagree.

@@everythingus8428 "We appreciate your passion on this. You must really like the anime for you to feel so strongly on the subject and some of your points are valid." Thanks, this tends to be why I usually just try and keep it short, since most people tend to not be interested in having an actual debate or elaborating on their points, and I much prefer getting into the details, which, takes lots of effort. So I usually just start with this opinion and then try and leave an avenue to have a more detailed discussion open, when I can be more sure I'm not gonna spend an hour of my time, collecting my thoughts and precisely wording them just get a response (if any at all) along the lines of "It just sucks bro". So I really appreciate your detailed response. I've listed some of my thoughts on some of your points below if you want to continue this discussion (you don't have to if you don't want to). It may not look like it, but I really appreciate learning more about why people like yourself hold these opinions (which are very valid). Because if I want to assert that other people's opinions are incorrect, I should be able to refute those (it's a bit tricky when the core of my refutation in spoilers though, and I haven't really figure out a good way to go about that, other then something along the lines of "trust me bro"), and if I can't refute them, then I should reevaluate my own opinions. So many thanks for responding. "our argument is that he jumps back and forth between being okay and not being okay at the wrong times in the anime" this argument is very valid to question and I think one of the downside of the adaption (as is often the case with adapting light novels) is that we often lose out on Subaru's inner monologue (which is probably the correct decision, inner monologue is much better suited to a text based medium then a real time medium), which makes it more difficult to reason about Subaru's motivations, when the viewer doesn't have the complete information. "We don't hate the show and we're not trying to shit on it for the sake of shitting on it. We are a review show and as we said in our review there are some aspects we like, but there are just a lot of things that we don't." after having finished your video I don't think you hated the show, nor do I think that you are shitting on the anime just to shit on it. Many of your points are things I think are very typical of a first time watch through (particularly one that only goes up to the end of Season 1). IMO, many of these points get recontextualized later on in the story. "we believe the main character is an insufferable arrogant prick that treats the people around him except for the person he loves like garbage until he can what he wants out of them and even with Emilia he's still a jerk as he only thinks about what he wants and not what she does" I'm not quite sure I'd go quite that far, but I'd be a hair to left on the scale of (not an asshole -> is an asshole). Subaru is certainly very flawed, and especially at the beginning treats this as a video game (hence the NPC comments and not really treating people like actual people, but info devices and NPCs to interact with to "advance the plot", which for him is getting Emilia to fall in love with him). It's something that he struggles with and while he mostly gets better about it, he still regresses on occasion. "if he ever suffers the consequences for his actions, which he doesn't, because everything just resets". If I can convince you to watch 1 more episode, Season 2, episode 1 is the true ending of the 3rd arc, which wasn't adapted (for good reason, considering Season 2 took 4 years to be released) because of the huge bomb they drop in it. You can think of it as the epilogue of the 3rd arc. I doubt you will still hold this opinion after that. (If you don't want to watch I can summarize for you in a few sentences). "when they fall on main character and harem tropes where in the end everybody loves him" sort of related to the above point, but to clarify on the harem aspects. Emilia: you correctly deduced that she isn't in love with Subaru, though isn't strictly against it either, is currently in a state of indefinite deferral. Rem: is maddly in love with Subaru due to her savior complex derived from the events of arc 2 (this is very similar to Subaru's relation to Emilia, but that is Season 2 stuff). Ram: Doesn't like Subaru at all, barely tolerates him, and insults him at every opportunity. Roswaal: Season 2 spoilers, can't talk about it without greatly spoiling. Crusch: Not at all romantically interested in Subaru (she explicitly says so after the White Whale fight), more akin to a business partner. Felt: I'm not too sure about this, since I haven't really looked into it, but if anything I think it's somewhere around basic friends. The other candidates: basically just a competitor who they won't hesitate to manipulate for their own benefit. I don't think I missed any other female characters with significant interaction. But to you're point on how everyone ends up friendly with him. This is sort of the only way that Subaru can advance the plot. He lacks strength himself, and his only advantage, he is generally unable to act on alone, so I don't think it's unexpected that when he succeeds, it is because he managed to get on good terms with people with power. "it became predictable. Every scenario is now the same, he keeps messing up until he figures out the right combination of events and gets it right. It doesn't matter if the events within those stories are different if you're telling the same story over and over again" I as mentioned elsewhere, I doubt you will be able to predict what happens in Season 2. I also think that a simplification of that magnitude is applicable to basically any story and more or less just a description of en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hero%27s_journey with a few more L's in the middle. There is something to be said about the inability to suspend your disbelief and the story's impact in making that easy to do, but I think most stories don't really work as entertainment without the suspension of disbelief. "everything wouldn't be so perfectly wrapped up" I'm not sure what you really mean by this, to my knowledge, there's a ton that isn't wrapped up by the end of Season 1, if you can clarify more, I'd appreciate that. "I'm sure you'll make an argument about how later in the next seasons ... something else to make those people want to come back and this just didn't do that" Practically speaking I agree, but imo one of the best parts of Re:Zero is how it manipulates the viewer by what information it reveals and when it reveals them, as well as what information it lets the viewers incorrectly assume. I think this also ties into what I mentioned earlier about misconceptions about the length of the Re:Zero. I would classify Season 1 and 2 as part of the opening act (hell most of Season 1 is the prologue). And I don't necessarily think it is fair to judge a story by just the opening, though I think that's inevitably what happens since our time is finite and not everything is worth sinking more time into just to be sure it doesn't get better later on. "no death will matter" going back to the mechanics of RBD, I would ask you to consider what is the critical factor for which determines a new save point, and from what perspective does that judging is it Subaru? The Witch? Someone else? God? Is there no perspective and it's an objective factor (akin to after so many days you get a new checkpoint, where there isn't something deciding it). I think it's pretty clear that Subaru isn't picking and choosing the checkpoints (otherwise he'd not choose his checkpoint after his fight with Emilia), which means that it's not in his control, and given his lack of knowledge about RBD, I don't think Subaru (or the viewer without meta analyzing generally storytelling (how many stories end with the hero dies and it was all for naught)) can really confidently assert this. Not to mention, it doesn't have to be a death to be impactful, take for instance Subaru in episode 15, that could of easily lead to a death loop (in fact many of the IF side stories tend go into great detail where Subaru makes the wrong choice and goes down a "bad ending" and becomes a super villain) "As for covering more we really don't decide that." I see, anyways, when you get around to Summertime Render, I think you'll find it a better implementation of a time looping story, though I disagree, but mostly because I think Re:Zero is a masterpiece of an anime as well as I came into Summertime Render more or less thinking that it would be inferior to Re:Zero and STR didn't really blow me away. Though at that time I don't think I was really primed for a story like STR, and imo the attitude and context in which you view an anime can greatly affect how you view an anime. For instance I watched Season 1 of Konosuba and loved it, but then when the 2nd season came out, I just couldn't get into it, and about a year later I watched it when my mind was in a different state, and I loved it. So imo if you wanted an anime where you didn't have to pay that much attention (as many anime are) and didn't want to really think about things, then Re:Zero I think would be a poor fit.

Thanks for the information. It makes sense that the manga wasn't finished. That's what usually leads to adaptations going their own ways. In any case, despite the original series' flaws it still led to Ultimate, which is much better.

If you say so. To each their own.

That makes sense. They did seem like short OVAs. Thanks for the info. We also did see that there was another series under a different letter, so that's probably the one you're talking about. Though, we didn't particularly like the comedy in the show, so it's not for us, but to each their own.

To each their own. We thought it sucked. T.J., in particular, doesn't like mech animes, which adds to the dislike, but we still felt it was bad.

Yeah, Dota is surprisingly good. T.J. had the same issue that you had, but when he watched it his opinion changed. Yes, we have heard of Arcane, but because of the random nature of our show, we have no idea if or when we will be covering it. Though, we heard it was good.

Lol, thanks for watching and commenting.

No. Entiendo

Oh no, we paid attention. Even though, the anime didn't want us to, because it was boring, nonsensical, and didn't have a complete plot. How do you end your anime on a flashback instead of wrapping up your story? Either because you're bad at writing or your anime was so bad it got canceled.

Fair enough. Your life experiences may give you a different insight into what this anime is saying. However, even if you leave out the incestuous aspect of it. The girl in this is depicted as 16. The man is 30. Even if you want to ignore the girl is underage (at least in America, underage is anyone under 18) There is still the manner of power dynamics at play and him taking advantage of the situation. Despite how they portrayed him as struggling. In our review, we noted how well the story was written and agree that this is exactly how a real-life scenario of this type would play out but that does not excuse the grossness of some of it. Also, we're not going to pretend that we agree with your decision in real life. However, we will admit that we don't have the experience you do and can't understand your perspective. We're also sorry that people have threatened you just for being who you are. However, we stand by our review.
