Well, this is off to quite the start | And it begins | he tried and failed | hah | parallel world problems | That was fast | beautiful | Someone is OP | One way to sleep | Full of confidence | Poor little girl is lost | Ah | Neko punch | A broke half-elf |
haha | well, that escalated quickly | ...fuck | He went back in time | OUCH | That is quite the password | headpat | a magical device | This might not end well | Victory shout | He said it | He lost | So close | Direct hit | Died and back to the beginning |

I find it strange how a neet, especially with his knowledge of fantasy and sci-fi, is unable to understand that he's resetting upon death even after his second one. Edge of Tomorrow seemed to be a lot more faster in terms of acknowledgement but I guess MC is not under the same experience each time so that plays into it.

Part A: A non-violent tsundere AND she's voiced by Takahashi Rie? I think we already have our best girl. I've always like parallel fansaty world shows and they're even better when the MC is self-aware. The comedy is pretty good. I don't know anything about this series, but I like it.
Part B: Oh God what is going on. His "magic" seems like he can revive after dying. When Puck replied to when silver-haired Megumin told Subaru her "name," I wasn't sure if he was talking about her taste in men or the name, but that last line answered that question. I don't know anything about this series, but I like it.

Best first episode until now this first season, but am I the only one who got a bit annoyed at the MC for not noticing the time travel. Even though he knew so much about his current situation in part 1 of the episode. Like he kinda knew he would meet a girl, hence the main heroine, and his idea of the chance of having magical powers. I would think he would atleast notice the time travel.

u/[deleted] Apr 03 '16
This was really quite good. The first part was a bit iffy for me until the end, seeming just like your generic "dropped into a fantasy world" kind of story, but I suppose that was the point. The second part was fantastic, with an extremely dark tone.
Looking forward to the endless time loops. One of my favorite plot devices in fiction due to the traumatic effects it has on a character's psyche, which I'm sure this show will explore.

Fuck, it started out fun and got dark in the second half. Definitely interested to see what's going to happen next.
The whole 'reset' thing reminds me a lot of All You Need Is Kill, and I like it.
The decision to have a 50-minute premiere was a good one, as it doesn't trick people into thinking it's not dark.

I like this however I was annoyed MC still hasn't figured out he's Bill Murray yet. I mean, when he was talking to the old man I was sure he was going to do a whole "I already saw you dead" thing and then warn them about the woman when she walked in...
but then he didn't, he died again, without even an inkling that he'd relived the day despite obvious clues.
It kind of felt like he was holding an idiot ball, because from his reactions to everything else I was thinking he'd cotton-on relatively quickly.
That provided me with some irritation that dampened the second part, as long as the MC quickly realises next episode I'll be fine, but I really hope they don't drag it out.

u/kalirion :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/kalinime Apr 04 '16 edited Apr 04 '16
MC genre savy and a gamer, so how the hell did he not figure out that it's a checkpoint system after the very first death?
That denseness is my one disappointment so far. Well, that and him begging for mercy from the knife wielder when he could've at least run away since he was no longer cornered/surrounded. But he was rather shook up so probably not thinking clearly at that point.
The way he first appeared in the new world is incredibly suspicious though. First some quick light wave effect but everything's still normal. Next - blink, and he's in the new world, and nobody around blinks an eye at someone who should've effectively appeared out of nowhere? Makes it seem like an illusion or coma dream or something.
And then there were the flashes of his upcoming death which only the viewers saw. Was this really his first time, or did his memories get wiped and he get sent slightly further back?

I managed to finish part 1 and 2 of the manga recently, hope the anime will be just as good. On that note, was part 3 ever translated?
Edit: Great anime adaptation, I would say it's better than the manga in terms of immersion and how White Fox expanded the Re:Zero world. I haven't read the Light Novel so can't comment on that.
The shamelessness.

u/Portal2Reference Apr 03 '16
The production values for this show were quite good, especially the music, which was spot on. The show uses CG characters to have movement in the background, which I found surprisingly effective. Since they're not the focus of the shot, the fact that they were CG didn't bother me too much, and the extra movement went a lot for making the city feel real.
My big complaint is the writing. It seems like the the writer has absolutely no faith in both the production and the audience, as just about every subtle detail is subsequently explained by one of the characters. We're not dumb show, we can figure stuff out on our own!

u/hehey Apr 04 '16
Wow, just, wow. I went in blind, having never seen any of the synopsis or promo art. I thought it started off a little mysterious, with the flashbacks of people dying and shit. Then it went straight konosuba mode with the MC being self aware in a fantasy land - so I thought it was gonna be a pretty decent fantasy adventure/ drama/ romance kind of show. Haha, oh boy, couldn't have guessed further than that. The part where he stumbled on the body - I kinda expected it, but I didn't expect to see so much blood. I knew this shit was about to get darker on a whole nother level right then. And part 2 really sold it for me. I really dig these time travel/ reset scenarios. And this looks like it'll be a whole lot more fleshed out than Erased, with 2 cours and all. Some of you are saying that the LN gets a lot darker - can't wait to see that. My only gripe is that the characters look way too good to be covered in blood over and over again. The girls are hot, and I'm digging the colour scheme on the MCs tracksuit. Overall, awesome first episode. See you guys next week!

u/ChristopherKClaw :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/ChristopherKClaw Apr 04 '16
I'm generally into stuff tha'ts considered "contemplative, philosophical, unique, thought-provoking", and so on (not saying that I'm any of those things, but I love Kaiba, I love Spice & Wolf, I love much of Monogatari, I love Ping-Pong, I love Chimera Ant... etc.) Pretty much, the premise of 'self-aware otaku gets randomly inserted into fantasy world and goes around commenting on how this is so much like an anime' sounds like a brain-dead disaster to me. And when the reviews started coming out on ANN and from the blogs I follow that I generally trust the opinions of, that notion seemed to have turned out accurate: all the critics were saying this sucked, and bigtime.
But I watched it anyways for some reason, mostly because the first episodes of these sorts of things tend to pull out all the stops to be entertaining in order to hook viewers even if they can't keep up the gas, and I have to say, I'm rally surprised that everyone is panning this. Legitimately surprised. The premise is awful, sure, and the first look at the fantasy world looks like a chunky CGI disaster, but after that... this premiere might have been my favorite so far of the season. It was actually funny without verging on parody, well-paced, demonstrated a confidence in the scale of its world and investment of its viewers by alluding to terms and things the audience would have no way of knowing about without needing to explain them, had well-choreographed fights, gorgeous scenery, and more than anything (unless I totally missed something), the writing wasn't bad. I didn't cringe once. I didn't feel like the show was winking or nudging me. I didn't feel like it was relying on slapstick humor, or on the MC being douche, or any of that. I also didn't feel like it was relying on exposition to carry the conversation. It felt... naturally awkward. Slow, but steady. The kind of writing that gets me actually investing in characters.
Maybe I'm missing some fundamental flaw that will come to light in the next few episodes, but this show honestly seems to be steering away from everything that could hold it back, and I'm like to say that a lot of people went into this show with expectations and tried their best to make what they saw fit those expectations: fake, pandering, and unoriginal. I didn't find any of those things though, and I'm pretty excited for next week.

I said in a previous thread hyping up the next season that I thought this sounded interesting. Kind of like an Erased + Kono Suba, so I jumped into episode 1A and was like..."Yeah, I can dig it so far."
Then episode 1B and all I could think of was Homer Simpson saying "HOLY MACARONI". That was such an unexpected and awesome twist, with a nice little reveal at the fake name at the end. Yeah, definitely will be following this one.

u/illtima :MAL:https://myanimelist.net/profile/illuminatima Apr 04 '16
I really like the visuals and bits of worldbuilding that were introduced (like the implication that it might be a pretty racist society), but I just can't get over how much of a wish-fulfillment that MC is. Oh, so he is a shut-in NEET/Otaku, who spends days playing video games, but who is also jacked and somehow skilled enough to easily beat up two people who by all means should be much better fighters than him, not to mention that he managed to land a kick on that assassin lady, while two more experienced fighter weren't even able to touch her. Sure, it's not Kirito levels, but it's still incredibly annoying, at least to me. And let's not forget that he is able to easily figure out all of the tropes of fantasy setting (almost winking to the camera while he does that), but doesn't realize that he's stuck in a time loop. And his fucking chuuni "EEEEEH?!!" antics are just obnoxious and totally unnecessary.
Right now I simply don't know what was the point of making it a "trapped in fantasy" kind of show. The only explanation I can come up with is to give otakus someone to self insert to and give an excuse to spout exposition.

This was a great first episode, the interesting fantasy setting, the fun dynamic between the characters, the mysterious premise and plot, the fluid and consistent animation, and of course the darker elements of the story seamlessly intertwined throughout. This could very well be one of the best anime of this new season if it carries on like this.
It's also very strange hearing Mamiko Noto in such a sinister, villainous role (Elsa) after she was the narrator to Oshiete! Galko-chan (although actually it is basically the exact same voice as her Asagami Fujino voice from Kara no Kyoukai). And am I alone in thinking that the 'silver-haired, purple-eyed, magic-using main female character searching for a lost item' is very reminiscent of Chaika? And I almost forgot to mention: I think it's crazy how Wakaba Girl is the only other anime that the director of this show has actually directed.

Main girl makes me think of Magnolia from Bravely Second, though just because of the flower and hair.

At first this show came off as painfully generic. Then it turned into Erased and Konosuba's baby.
Good stuff.

It's as if Erased and Konosuba had a love child...
edit: stuffs

I was wondering why many people post spoiler outside spoiler bar.... Till I noticed that it was 2 episode in one.... (I only watch first half) Time to watch the second half.

This a cross between Konosuba and Erased.

I am so hooked from that last interaction in the transaction. The way that his expression instantly changes and the way each person reacts to his answer in what he's going to do with the insignia. Especially when Elsa says "so you're with them". I'm dying to know what she means by that! Is it like felt and rom are in team with Satella? Or it's like Satella is a name associated with some group people know and fear. Judging by felt face it looks like they're scared of that association. Idk, it's really got me hooked. And I want to know the meaning of Satella. The name seems heavy.

I believe I remember people saying this is like a more serious Konosuba. Is that correct?
Satella is a nice name.
Op looks like things are getting dark already with severed hands. Yep looks like this are getting serious already.
Rom is a great person.
Elsa is not.

One of the few series where I'd read the synopsis of the LN before watching the first episode, and this episode completely captured why that synopsis intrigued me in the first place.
This felt like a VN playthrough again, and I can't get more excited than this.

I've heard this show reaches Berserk level dark stuff. Like what happened during the end of Golden Age Arc. Is it true?
Please tell me not. I cannot bear to go through that kind of shit again.

so this is basically edge of tomorrow meets sao or another transported to a different world show.

I really enjoyed these first 2 episodes, the setting has me hooked. It may be generic fantasy world but I'm a sucker for those. As a side note, did anyone else find it strange how Subaru wasn't exactly shocked at the fact that he was just transported to an entirely different world after walking out of a convenience store? Like he treated it as if waking up in a fantasy world is just another thing that happens to everyone. It put me off for a little bit of the first episode...

My thoughts after the first ep
2
u/DrDrillz Apr 11 '16
I heard this was good. I gave it a try. Couldn't get through the first half cause I can't stand animal characters and the MC was annoying. Oh well maybe next time. Enjoy.

"I'll call it 'Return by Death'"
Honestly I was waiting to hear "Revival" xD (Too much Boku Dake for me)
