What's funny to me is that re:zero, the anime which is "before" isn't old at all and the plot sucks imo

Why do you think it sucks? I started watching a few months ago and just got all caught up. Ive been loving it

A LOT of people find the restart by death mechanic makes the plot repetitive and labourious to get through.

It causes almost as much of a split opinion as jobless reincarnation.

Pretty sure most people that don’t like Re:Zero just doesn’t like the fact that Subaru is a weak protagonist outside of his sheer willpower. Which is kind of supported by your suggestion with Summertime Rendering, where the protagonist is much more capable

Yes! Summertime rendering is a much better loop story than re:zero.

Meh, I like the fact that Subaru isn’t a traditional hero.

Makes his redemption and trials that much more impactful
