We’re about midway the season. I’m still not too stoked with what we got but oh well.
I’m still watching since the start of the season:
Picked up later on:
On hold:
I’ve dropped a fair few, more than usual:
Hearing a lot of good things about Orb, so will probably check that one out if I can.
Give it three episodes and see what you think. The first three episodes provide a nice little arc and set things up for the future. Next to Dan Da Dan, Orb has been my favorite of the season.
This one is weird to me. When it’s trying to be funny or charming I think it almost always succeeds. When it’s trying to be cool or edgy (most of the time unfortunately) it almost always fails.
It almost gives off the vibes of a 20th-century Western-made Saturday morning cartoon (except that for some reason the MC’s relationship with his mecha-ude reminds me of the one between the lead in Kill La Kill and her seifuku). I’m not quite sure why—maybe it’s the lack of any real moral ambiguity? Anyway, many of those could not do cool or edgy to save their lives.
Agreed, I enjoy the fun stuff. Serious stuff less so
I think Re:Zero is following the same episode structure as last season, where Subaru is thrown down the pit of despair into a seemingly insurmountable problem, and then he’ll find some way to get out of it.
That’s why it’s really hard to watch right now, and honestly it’s about the same time when I quit watching last season. I haven’t even watched how that ended, but it looks like he survived the rabbits okay.
Yeah, maybe take a break from torturing yourself, then wait until all the episodes are out and find out how he survives this time…
No, I don’t think that’s why I can’t get into it this season. The pit of dispair didn’t happen yet when I stopped watching (ep 3 or 4).
It just hasn’t really managed to intrigue me yet.
