    Also, they like memes, and the show makes a fucking lot of really silly memey faces.

    Counterpoint, re zero is great, and yes, it starts out slow and gets better. The fact that it's dark is not what makes it good.

    I read an episode by episode breakdown and to summarise, not really at all. They fixed some visuals (most notably the mid season swordfight was almost entirely reanimated) and made slight changes to timing

    Just look up the scene they added at the end

    Yeah please don't use that word, it's a trans slur if you didn't know. Also what is your point in mentioning there's a trans character? Is that supposed to be a negative?

    My apologies then.

    My point was that it's a superficial show that trades on shock and pandering to the 2ch/4chan anime in-crowd, who gobbled up the worst parts of it with gleeful abandon.

    DECA-DENCE | Official Teaser Trailer 1:!5
    https://youtu.be/zR4M-LBKX7I

    The newest original anime by Death Parade director, Yuzuru Tachikawa, shows us the world atop a giant moving fortress. 💥
    DECA-DENCE is coming to Funimation this summer!

    that is some grade A dumb Japanese english naming convention. I like it. Death Parade was a bit uneven but when it was on it was on. Also this looks real pretty.

    As a person who generally avoids suffering in all media I consume, I will admit there is definitely enough in Re:Zero that it's maybe not for everyone, but there were some extremely profound moments that made me have to stop and sit in silence for a while after finishing an episode, it stabbed at the core of my being so accurately.

    Just really, really well done.

    new chapter of <<Frieren at the Funeral>>
    time passes slowly for elves and demons but magical advancement goes on
    what was new and destructive is now commonplace and easily countered

    I recommend this manga as well
    It's a slice of extremely long life of an elf

    So back over the weekend a friend found out that the Reddit jury choice for AOTY was Hugtto Precure and had the expected weeb WTF reaction. So I threw down the gauntlet and bet him if he finishes the series by Friday night and didn't like it I would buy him a 6-pack of beer. 2 days to go and he just dropped a case of Guinness on my front door and drove off.

    I don't think I've ever watched an isekai.

    However, I did recently read a chapter of Franken Fran Frantic that was basically a "The Truman Show" take on isekai. Fran was commissioned to make intimidating-looking yet harmless monsters for an extremely elaborate facility designed to make the owner's terminally ill son think he'd already died and been reborn in a fantasy world. Unlike most Franken Fran stories there wasn't even a horrible twist.

    Re:Zero is a fantastic show that set out to do a thing and did it very well.

    Subaru is a trash person and makes that very clear, but he's also a trash person everyone has met in their lives. Often times he's a trash person people have been and just managed to suppress it much better than he does.

    It's also a kind of mind fuck people don't seem to really think about. It's not just that he tends to die in horribly painful violent ways and gets to experience the horror of dying over and over, it's that he gets stuck doing the days over and over as well. Losing all the interactions with the people around him. In the end, everyone else only remembers the one time he doesn't die, no matter how good or shitty it is, no matter what big hero moments he had and failed, etc.

    Basically he's known these people for weeks and they've only known him for a couple days. That'd fuck with anyone.
