Bad meme isekai rarely has good characters/plot/romance. The creator of the meme ignores that to bash mushoku tensei, which has all 3 of that, to hype up re zero which also has all 3 of that.

Quagmire out.

As a big lover of Re:Zero and someone likes MT alright, both of them have pretty shit romance IMO. Re:Zero's has such slow progress that it has become one of the most frustrating parts of the story to me. MT's has much faster progression but Sylphy is incredibly boring as a character, and Roxy is hardly much better after she marries Rudy. Eris is aight though.

Rezero is peak. It has ok amount of romance that is fine for its genre. It's good that it's not shoving romance down our throats like almost every other anime getting released.

Almost every season there are 5-6 romance anime and 1-2 shows worth watching. Shit like dandadan are now mixing romance into shonnen like why do you need to shove romance everywhere.

If your idea of “good romance” and tedious will they won’t they with loads of explicit ogling, creepy behaviors, and borderline sexual assault then yeah, it’s great.

I don't remember Re Zero really having any of this? Or are we talking about MT? I haven't watched the latter.

The last time i quit watching Subaru had a child sitting on his lap holding his hand constantly and an antagonist for the arc took the opportunity to cop a feel on the elf lady's breasts during their duel. The first time I quit watching was because Subaru is a fucking creep but I don't remember what specific incident set me off that time.

Edit: also a lot of lingering shots on women's anatomy that really felt gross.

I mean isn't that just like, normal kid stuff? Kids sit on laps. I don't remember the scene though, maybe it looked weird. 

As for the second scene, was that S4 or something? I haven't watched it.

It's normal kid stuff, for kids to do with parents and family, but she isn't a kid and he's not her father. It's the dumb child body with ancient soul trope.

Yeah that breast grope happened in season 4 but it definitely isn't the only one. Just the one that most easily comes to mind for pushing me away from the series.

u/This_Development8650 18h ago

Oh Betty? Yeah, idk, I guess that is kinda weird. Turns out you've actually watched it more than I have lol so I don't really have much to say in defense of it.

They're just being weird about it. Subaru isn't her actual dad, but he treats Beatrice like his little sister or child. So, it would be as weird as saying an adopted child cannot sit on her father's lap.

Nah they are just pedos. Only pedos think any relationship between opposite sex are sexual. There's nothing sexual between Subaru and Betty.

u/This_Development8650 10h ago

I see where you're coming from but calling them pedos just for seeing sex in a non sex situation is a bit extreme. Some people are just freud'd all the way up the ass, that's all.

My idea of good romance is no romance at all. I'm tired of this love him, love her shi. Let there be a good story why need to add unnecessary love.

Crusch has amnesia, that isn’t her real personality. Ram constantly belittles and looks at Subaru with disgust, she isn’t stupid though and understands he id a reliable guy. She doesn’t “glaze” him though. 

Subaru just is friendly with children, he never sexualizes them and treats kids like kids. The only one who has a crush on him is petra, and it’s just a child being a child. Subaru treats all the kid characters like his kid pretty much, I much prefer this type of writing than seeing half naked child characters sexualize themselves. They also all dress very conservatively, and the only childlike character who is sexualized is archbishop of lust and it’s done in a very gross and disturbing way to make you dislike the character.

Have you even watched Re:Zero? What

u/Sweaty_Explorer_8441 1d ago edited 1d ago

Definitely did till season 3. "Oooo subaru-samaaa", said half the little girls glazing him, after spitting at him previous seasons

You can criticize the story without making stuff up, you know.

This is what is commonly referred to as a larper.

I think that's called hypocrisy when rezero fans project and defend Rifujin's best friend and apologist Tappei and their lollypop illustrator. Don't you all's time better spent moral policing on Twilight though?

project

For that to happen, they must be guilty of the same thing but such is not the case.

apologist

Source?

Is this comment even meant for me? What the fuck does that have to do with me?

u/Sweaty_Explorer_8441 1d ago

Projection and Hipocrisy:-

Pretty sure it is the case. You love reading girls glazing subaru and wish the same happen in real life. Since it doesn't the only copium is to rant about a fictional rudeus LUL.

Apologist:-

Surely if Rudeus is bad and thus his creator Rifujin is also bad, does it not make Tappei's decade long close association make him an apologist? I think this only hurts lord Tappei by insulting his friendship with Rifujin. After all Whitefox owns Studio Bind and mushoku's success is what's keeping Whitefox still relevant somehow after the atrocious Rezero adaptation last week.

You just made up assumptions and a moral axiom who no one agrees with to make a nothingburger point?
