Thing about Jobless Reincarnation is that it's so bad it actually primes me to sit down and watch Re:Zero. So that's what I'm going to do nextPermalink On twitter.com

I know my Re:Zero hate fandom was celebrating when I declared this summer that I wouldn't be bothering with it anymore. In case this thread attracts them again I just gotta say... stay mad lolPermalink On twitter.com
-
So we start where we left off with Otto telling Subaru to reach out when he needs help. And I agree with that, fundamentally? But Re:Zero's gender politics are fucking weird, right?Permalink On twitter.com
-
"Putting on an act for girls is fine, but I draw the line at men" What is this inherent fear of being emotionally vulnerable to women? Especially since the women in the show do ALL of the emotional laborPermalink On twitter.com
-
Like I don't dispute that Subaru needs male friends, but it's framed in a way that's weird and unhealthy. And honestly at this point he needs to learn how to treat women as friends and not objectsPermalink On twitter.com
-
Though I've heard the show (tries) to address that second point so we'll seePermalink On twitter.com
-
Just make Otto gay coward writing tbhPermalink On twitter.com

I'm also gonna have problems if Subaru can make Otto understand Return by Death and not EmiliaPermalink On twitter.com

Just let her you know what? I've had this conversation 500 times with Re:Zero stans and they can't understand it's impossiblePermalink On twitter.com

Let Emilia do her own arcs. Let her bePermalink On twitter.com

Nothing else happened to her between the movie and now?Permalink On twitter.com

So in season one when she said "I'm doing the royal selection for a selfish reason" it was ACTUALLY because she just wants to help people again so it's not selfish I don'tPermalink On twitter.com

I got Emilia'd again. I thought she was gonna have character and shit but she's just Anime NicePermalink On twitter.com

Man this show fuckin always does this, where it has an emotionally resonant thing happen, but it doesn't give you the context to actually like it until 10 episodes laterPermalink On twitter.com
-
And yet, paradoxically, it feels like all it does is explain more thingsPermalink On twitter.com
-
Bye puck. Later. I guess? Okay.Permalink On twitter.com
-
Like the details of the contract were never really explained in the movie or the show. So you can't be like "oh I'm breaking the contract now" and expect it to hit. Tell the story in order I keep tryna sayOn twitter.com

So I've never seen an Islamic coded civilization in an anime before and this is really cool for me and I just wish it was in a show I actually liked and not Re:ZeroPermalink On twitter.com

Wait since Otto's Muslim is he just Jewish? Is that what this is? I feel slowPermalink On twitter.com

Like is this anti Semitism? I didn't expect to have to use a religious lens on this showPermalink On twitter.com

I'm sorry this is just such a curveball compared to the things I usually complain about with Re:ZeroPermalink On twitter.com

Back to EmiliaPermalink On twitter.com

So Emilia is doing the Subaru thing of "oh I don't deserve to have people like me bc I'm selfish and sad" sure surePermalink On twitter.com

I could go back and find the parallel Subaru quotes but I don't want toPermalink On twitter.com
-
tbh I'm... pretty confused The Re:Zero stans will tell me it's because I didn't watch closely enough and they'd be right. I would argue that the story is told in a way that is confusing.Permalink On twitter.com
-
Where it prioritizes emotional outbursts over the character work that makes them resonant and hides information in really long, kinda boring exposition segments (and also OTHER FILMS)Permalink On twitter.com

shit advice lolPermalink On twitter.com

Isn't Subaru supposed to be like, a changed man since season 1 episode 13? Why is he acting like an entitled ass again? Is it maybe because his character is more stagnant than people say? Questions questionsPermalink On twitter.com

Oh so the thing I missed is that she asked him to stay until morning and he didn't. Got it got it that makes more sensePermalink On twitter.com

Kinda disappointed that the doll line doesn't carry any weight even tho it's the truest shitPermalink On twitter.com
-
I'll need more time to have a take tbh because that was... a lot? I think there were bits and pieces here and there that address some of my long standing issues with Re:Zero, which is nice, but the show doesn't commit to themPermalink On twitter.com
-
It feels always one step forward, two steps back. I'm not convinced the argument between Subaru and Emilia naturally leads to them kissing? Because Emilia doesn't really like Subaru right now and it reads like her feelings don't matter because he loves herPermalink On twitter.com
-
That being said I guess I'm happy they kissed because their relationship was so fuckin stagnant y'know?Permalink On twitter.com
-
The religious stuff was weird, but I'd have to Re:Watch Re:Zero with it in mind to get a good take out of it. And that would mean like, what, my third season 1 viewing and my second season 2 viewing? Eh, no thanks.Permalink On twitter.com
-
Overall: not the worst thing this season but I wouldn't call it "good". It's doing some things at least and is more interesting than the first half of this seasonPermalink On twitter.com
