+ Show Spoiler + Can't he just explain his situation to the loli who is a powerful mage, I wonder if she would have some information on that? Was that 1st scene telling us that she remembered him from the previous loop? Why must they continue to make the MC be overly dramatic at times, its not funny when he is getting worked up and boasting like that. Take those few times out and he would be a fairly decent mc for this genre. Also Rem and Ram are great :3 especially Rem. | ||

And no, the first scene in Ep5. was just showing that Subaru's first encounter with Beatrice in Ep4. (When she took his mana) was the last event immediately preceding the 'save point being set' where he wakes up with Rem + Ram in room. Ram + Rem obviously demons (Red Oni/Blue Oni trope) and probably the ones who are killing him. Why? Probably because they were ordered to, I guess. Ep4 death was Rem, who poisoned him, died in his sleep. Ep5 death was Ram, who is useless so the poison wasn't enough and had to finish him off physically. ReZero pretty good. Looking forward to further Eps and finding out whats going on. It's a bit annoying that it seems like the whole thief girl/sword guy thing from Ep3's end is on hold. | ||

And Balsa is great. Balsa is in my top 10 list of girls. She's just so amazing. Would want her to cuddle me any day. The thing about that story is that it can be slow at times but I always found that it was building towards a point. Even if the only building was a little bit of characterization. Stories don't need to go at breakneck speeds that most airing anime these days tend to do so it's a nice change of pace. | ||

I'm not quite sure if they actually intend to kill him though. The scene from ep4 with the red-haired-one talking to the lord makes it sound kind of unlikely that they'd be ordered to kill him after he talks about MC having a tiny amount of potential to become a spy for him as well. Maybe something they're doing to test if he has that potential, he doesn't and thus dies? | ||

It doesn't have a really great show, sure, but that's something I wouldn't expect from any season. However it offers a broad spectrum of shows that all have decent/above average (in their genre) quality. Even some shit shows seem somewhat enjoyable. That's not true for everyone, if I go by how much I'm entertained, I'm fearing that ReZero might overtake KonoSuba which I liked quite a ton and be my AotY and one of the most enjoyable animes I've seen so far (by enjoyment when watching weekly at least, gotta love (or hate) them cliffhangers as well). Other than that I don't like or dislike this season, it got some decent ones like Flying Witch or Sakamoto and I also think Kabaneri is quite entertaining. Have you tried it btw? I guess many people see Fantasy / Adventure and think it's the generic stuff. It's quite different and I feel like it definitely deserves at least a Mystery or Psychological tag (speaking of MAL where it has neither). The start of it is a bit weak, but I'm liking it more and more. | ||

Story is not bad either though I'm hoping we get more information soon. Give the first two episodes a try imo then you'll see if you like it enough to continue. | ||

I might check it out in a few days. On May 03 2016 02:24 BigFan wrote: well, there's definitely gonna be lots of mecha in it but it's also pretty comedic as well.

It's really hard to judge that series in particular this early with what it's doing unless you've read it, which I haven't. It could easily crash and burn but also really good chance to be decent imo. Since it's 2-cour worth checking out for sure though. It certainly should get a mystery tag so far being 4 or 5 episodes in. Didn't even realize it doesn't. But then again, KonoSuba had a romance tag which made no sense either~ | ||

I'm actually wondering if it's the lady from the previous arc who swore revenge (the one who they fought in the first couple of episodes). | ||

Their master may order it and they both seem to be very loyal (especially Ram). However maybe he might be able to win over Rem more so she changes her mind? She might also be the one who sucks (or doesn't like killing) while Ram is the one who is superior at that (she has to have some use right? The master favors her and she is the "superior" one) I don't know, it might not even be the people we see in the mansion doing it. They don't have as much cause to kill him (if the master is legit and an ally of Emillia) I can see them being wary of spies but you would think they would investigate more before simply offing him. At least the novels are getting an english translation and they were still working on vol 1 of the fan translation. Can't wait to read. | ||

Anyone else try Big Order? Pretty much as trainwrecky as Mayoiga but doesn't take itself seriously at all. Most likely dropping because of the idiotic MC though. | ||

Seems uh really convoluted but I have just been getting tidbits from people discussing it on forums so a little confused atm. I wonder if the Web Novel is significantly different from the LNs? But yea + Show Spoiler + MC in love with both Rem and Emilia? ]Rem dies? Emilia was shown to be in the future with one of the antags? Waat | ||
