what killed the hype?
Splitting the season in 2.
>>275283916I don't know maybe the fact they release 5 episodes and then don't release anything for half a year and then another 5 episodes and another pause? Good way to kill your franchise.
>>275283916S2.
Episode 1 being best it can offer, just like Oshi no Ko.Sure, the arc where he got killed by Rem several times for smelling like all NEETs do was funny, but it was already going downhill from there.
>>275283916Season 2Retconned mutilated Season 1 needed to make shitty season 2 happenSeason 2 againDid i mention season 2? Also splitting the seasons with a multi-month wait in between. They just woke up to the popularity S1 had way too late and then botched it up
This arc kind of sucks. The villains are too over the top evil and there are too many children in questionable outfits.>>275283984Having 1.5 hours for the initial episode just killed their workflow too.

>>275283916https://game-i.daa.jp/?APP/6466390412https://game-i.daa.jp/?APP/1505489916The sales of the new Gacha are worse than those of the old Gacha. The old Gacha had an average monthly sales of more than 100 million yen, but the new Gacha only has an average monthly sales of 60 million yen.This shows that the popularity of this series is waning.
>>275283984Wait, so after 5 more episodes, this shit will take a break again?
>>275284780OH MY GOD SUBARU IS LITERALLY A SUPPORTThis meme works with Cor Leonis, but the gacha people don't understand the series at all.
>>275283916Season 2 second half.
>>275283916First arcs were the best
>>275283916If Arc 6 isn't a fucking masterpiece, this may be the last anime season we get.I'm hoping the WNchads that have been sperging about Arc 6 since forever are right.
>>275285525Don't worry, Season 3 is the last anime adaptation Re:Zero will ever get, we won't get anything past Arc 6, I've been saying this since the announcement in 2023.
>>275283916Only S1E13 was good
>>275285215Yes the season will be over then and we have to wait another 2 years for the next 5 episodes.
>>275285558> we won't get anything past Arc 6Everything after Arc 2 is just a justification to adapt Arc 6 anyway.I don't believe the people that said they really enjoyed S2 back in 2020, I just thought people were happy that Arc 6 was getting closer to being animated.
>>275284780>This shows that the popularity of this series is waning.Holy fucking based
Are we going to get a new chapter today?Hopefully Aldebaran defeats Felt, Rachins, and whoever else decided it was a good idea to try and defeat the guy that just stalled Reinhard in one chapter instead of getting a Felt flashback or an Emilia POV or whatever

>>275283916bad writing, Suburu, I can go on

>>275287111> Her being a retard as usual?This fits with every Emilia POV btw
>>275285332Choose me redeemed it in my eyes, also the sexual tension between Elsa and Garf was pretty tight
>>275286138Pretty insane that they can't make a single good re:zero game everything considered. Sadly the best I've seen has been collabs with gachas and that's just sad.
>>275284451Who? Lillian is 22 and Capella is like, 40-60. Capella has the air of a middle aged woman that's difficult to ignore.
>>275288581For some reason they keep trying to sell it as something it isn't, its surprising that its still managed to do well despite that. Subaru wouldn't be so grating if people were given proper warning beforehand, but they can't even admit he's not meant to be a fighter.
Re:Zero itself as a concept is intriguing, however it genuinely has one of the most boring fanbases in existence
>>275286468I love pretty derby
>>2752s88887>boringObnoxious and retarded is more accurate.
>>275287830Feb
>>275288789I mean I like Subaru's character. He's blatantly not meant to be a top fighter, he's utility/support. Not sure why that'd lead to them not making a good game to this day. Hell, they could just have a game that's using re:zero's setting and have you make your own MC or something. Many ways to go about it and they always choose the worst option.
You'd think somebody would realize there might be something more to re0 than waifus when the series that try to recreate those characters don't seem to get similiar notice, but they're still carting around Rem's comatose body like they're Weekend at Bernie's.
>>275283916Split cour
>>275283916Making a season 2 for season 3We're going full Attack on Titan boys
>>275283916The shit adaptation of Arc 4 and taking so long to do it.
>>275289147Rem draws too many dimes, that's why she main events.
>>275283916Everyone finally realized that Re:Zero is just SG but worse.
>>275285984I thought the series peaked in arc 4 personally.
>>275288635>Who? Lillian is 22that's the most retarded thing I've read yet. She clearly looks 8.
>>275288581Best way I can think of doing one is drawing inspiration from Majora's Mask or Twelve Minutes - in order to save you have to restart back to the begining and several of the obstacles are based around puzzle solving instead of direct combat.For instances of combat, classic JRPG with Subaru as a support for other characters. To replicate a push for a perfect loop, there's no revive items.Unlike Majora's Mask, you give Subaru dialogue options, and the options change based around the # of deaths you have (some options if you have fewer than a certain number, some when you have more), information you discovered (maybe could squeeze in a Persona relationship system, but with Subaru's opinion and the character's opinion tracked separately), and so on. Maybe if you find a particularly bad death, you're stuck with only the option of Subaru having broken down for awhile.However, the big issue is...this sorta game would basically be impossible to convince a publisher to support. You are, from the start, going to have to make a ton of content that no one is ever going to see, and it isn't stuff that can easily be repeated but instead has to be somewhat bespoke. Like, consider the two games I mentioned earlier. Majora's Mask basically had Link not acknowledge the prior loops while Subaru would need to, and you can't do any of those bank or similar shenanigans to rollover progress because of how Return by Death works...and while Twelve Minutes acknowledged the prior loops, it was also constrained to a handful of rooms and only a few minutes of gametime per loop.
>>275283916Emilia's tits are so big
>>275291134Ok coomer.
>>275285215Starting on Feb. 5, there will be another 8 episodes which will then conclude season 3. Then it will be 3-4 years until season 4 (if they don't cancel it). Although, supposedly (but I don't believe it) the studio is going to reduce production by dedicating more resources and they think they can get another season out in 2 years. This seems extraordinarily unlikely though, there is a 99.99% chance that season 4 will release in 2029. Kadokawa made a statement awhile back that such long delays for Re:Zero content left tens of millions of dollars on the table. They are leaving a good ~$20-30+ million on the table that they'll never make by handling the series the way they are. White Fox and Kadokawa are actually retarded. At least we have Fatmilia though.
>>275289787She's canonically 22, hence why prelight novel fanart has her looking older.
>>275283916That the LN isn't finished. It has the problem where the cast becomes increasingly bloated and can't find enough time to do justice to every character while the plot also comes to a crawl, who knows how many more decades it'll take to see an actual resolution. It has the same problem as Tower of God in that regard although at least it isn't Koreanslop
>>275284451>The villains are too over the top evil and there are too many children in questionable outfits.Liliana and Capella are both adults. Liliana is like 20, Capella is like 80+Capella is also not technically wearing an outfit, everything you see is skin.
>>275283916takes too long to make new content, when s3 began they where talking about s1 events/characters and i had no fucking idea what was going on
>>275291391Season 3 includes Arc 6, which will air at an unknown time. I figure they at least take a break after this season but whether that's 1,2, or even 4 cours is unknown.
>>275283916Years between seasons + the last few seasons were trash compared to s1.
>>275292650Only S2. S3 while not quite as good as the best parts of S1 is much improved and about on par with the average.
>>275292624if that's the case then it's 8 more episodes to finish the Preistella fights + aftermath and then another 8 for Pleiades Watchtower (not sure how they could possibly finish that with just 8 eps though) making it 24 eps altogether... which I assume means there will probably be at least 6 months delay between ep 16 and 17.perhaps they'll do the first half of arc 6 as the last 8 eps of season 3 and then finish it in first half of season 4? da fuk?
Chapter tomorrow?
Maybe that one season where most of the episodes were nothing but 30 minutes of dialogue.
>>275292955There are rumors that whole season 3 will have 38 episodes in total, 8+8 for arc 5 and 11+11 for arc 6.
Censoring the character designs didn't help.
>>275284451>The villains are too over the top evilThis, and not just that, the fact that Tappei has explicitly created them to be one-dimensional villains with no nuance or complex motivations/backstories has only served to make them boring in my eyes, Petelgeuse is the closest one that came to having a bit of complexity due to his seemingly tragic past, but even he is shallow because he was apparently still evil at that stage.
>>275297218i unironically feel the same, i think stride is, funnily enough, the most interesting among them despite the fact that he is considered a "side character" and not part of the main cast.
>>275297218It's funny that Tappei says the Archbishops are irredeemably evil and then Louis 'Spica' Arneb gets redeemed because uwu cute loli
>>275283916The only reason people watched Re: Zero was because of Rem. No shit taking away the most popular character would kill interest in the series.
I regret reading part 7 arc. the story line literally goes nowhere the author is just milking this shit until it evaporates
>>275288581When was the last time ANYONE made a good anime game that isn't based on DBZ or Naruto? They just don't fucking exist.
>>275298303Filtered
>>275291134Emilia's gotta have back problems. She carries the WN, the anime, and those huge tits
>>275283916Arc 2. The first arc cemented the series as an excellent adventure fantasy, until Tappei thought he was a smarter writer than he was, and wrote that god awful horror/mystery slop and killed the pacing.
>>275298610Watch a YT summary of Arcs 7-8, read the last chapter of Arc 8, then start reading Arc 9.Vollachia doesn't deserve to be taken seriously, you just need to be vaguely aware of what happened, and that's it.

>>275298148He did the same thing with Meili too. It's really dumb.
>>275292496I really don't know who is worse at this point MT or Rezero in justifying pedo characters. I don't care what their age is--they look like children.
>>275283916I watched the first 3 episodes and then dropped without even realizing it. Literally just forgot about it.The writing was so abysmal compared to the first season, it felt like an adaptation of a bad fanfiction. Also, the way characters have conversations got INSUFFERABLE. Everyone talks like they are reading off a script that's 5x longer than necessary.
>>275296104Rumors from where? Just random internet faggots or from someone that has any actual credibility?
>>275298303
>>275299958>>275291134
>>275299849
>>275302117Mostly random internet faggot but a consistent and accurate leaker, as well as other smoke. You literally cannot just end at arc 5, because it doesn't really end, it leads immediately into arc 6. Meili has also been featured in all promotional material in her arc 6 form and she makes no appearance in arc 5 at all. The poster for S3 included Meili, Volcanica, Shaula and the tower and none of the other promo posters featured things outside the material they covered nor was arc 6 topical as the LNs were well into arc 7 at the time.
>>275299849>>275299958>>275303061Very cool sis.
>>275299958That's why we call this place emili/a/!
>>275303836This better be fucking true and it better not take another 1.5 years to finish season 3. It would be absolutely amazing if there isn't more enormous breaks between current season cours. Otherwise, the world must come together and nuke Japan.

>>275284451nigger, you don't like anime, I don't know what else to tell you other than to leave.
>>275283916A lack of narrative focus. It wanders around a little too much and takes just too long to do anything interesting and it honestly isn't up to much. I give it credit for actually having a theme and challenging the main character, but it's too slow, and the scenes just aren't clever or interesting enough for me to care.
>>275307232Nah I just think this season is bad. At least Emillia is around.

>>275309157>You can have these two points not that they actually mean much.He knows Felt's name before Emilia's. He knows Elsa, Reinhard and Rom's name before Emilia's. Rom and Felt were both dead with him, though I guess they at least didn't die at the same time so that's maybe a questionable one. The Emiliafag cope is really desperate.Imagine thinking a "I'm retarded, but maybe one day I won't be" has any weight compared to mutual unambiguous confession.
