Why Re:Zero Feels So Different 

This is a reupload. The original video was removed after crossing 10K. I’ll miss all the wonderful comments everyone left. It was great reading about your experiences with the show and also all the nice things you had to say about the video. Many of you even reached out to me afterwards, wondering where the video was and what happened. I never expected that kind of amazing reaction. Thank you all for your support! If you like the video, please consider commenting and sharing to help get it back to where it was.

It feels like a passion project that happens to be funded by a full studio.

I am glad that this video is back! I've lost countless re-zero videos on RU-vid, kadokawa please do not strike such gems.

Re zero to me is how to become a hero. Never give us is easy to say, but hard to do. Subaru is the embodiment of persistence and will. Watching him succeed make me feel like I should do better with my life, maybe I could try something i failed in the past again. Great video, thank you!

This was probably one of my favorite Re:Zero analysis videos because it taps into something almost no one talks about, and something that I think is one of the most important factors of the story. Thank you for reuploading.

I dare to say, Re:Zero is the most optimistic show I ever seen!

I have been waiting believer in love

Thank you for the reupload. I´m looking forward to S3 the anime of the year is coming 👀 all it needs is proper adaptation.

You are really underrated for the quality you put out

I remember watching this video some time ago and it was really good, glad you uploaded it again.

letss gooo it’s back

(Spoilers, sorry) What I love about the show is that the actual resolutions, albeit really small at times are the climax of the show. Take the first arc. Getting to know her name… Her actual name is the pay-off. The reward, the climax. A lot of people think it’s the deaths, yet. That’s the rising action, the journey to that happy end. In arc 2 that’s finding out the truth and making friends with everyone. Arc 3 is (in my opinion) saving the village, the rest is just a plus. Arc 4? Becoming knight… And I’d say, yes, Re Zero isn’t actually a happy story. The deaths of arc 1 solidify that everything Subaru knows, the reason he is in love with Emilia? She doesn’t know. He gets ridiculed but also misunderstood because of things he only remembers. Same in Arc 2. The most important conversations get lost due to his return by death, the demon talk with rem, the story time with Ram. That and besides a loop where he tries to do the exact same things, he isn’t seen as genuine and killed off for it. I think you could’ve expanded on the “inside he feels really horrible and on the outside he’s overextending himself” part. It’s not really that; he’s not genuine. He has given up at that point in time. EVERYONE sees through him, the only reason he’s still alive at the end is that Emilia vouches for him. But… Well, Arc 3 also has important storylines that are lost due to Return by death… the friendship bondig with Otto for example, his best arc with Juulius is cut up. Arc 4 has a lot of things with Beatrice. But in arc 3 that’s also the reason a certain girl breaks with him. He keeps spouting on about things she doesn’t remember, to the point her bonded animal laughs at het that she has no friends and he doesn’t understand why she likes him so much; since they both have no recollection of said events.

great video!

Great video dude

Sweet!

It's back!!! now stay!

You know, even though I don't like arcs 7 and 8 nearly as much as the earlier ones, it's those themes of hope and perseverance, as well as further development for Subaru that keeps me going. Tappei does an amazing job with his characters and this story. Thanks for the awesome vid ~

When i first read arc 7 its was amazing like one piece

It's different yes, but it has shortcomings some of which it shares with other isekais The biggest problems is the amount of plot related side stories and the anime cutting off the most important plot points I could go on For me the anime is a C tier and the novels are a B

It sucks that this video was taken down! This video had a lasting impression on how I view re: zero, and addressed concerns I had with the larger anime community viewing re: zero as just an edgy torture fest. At least this gives me an opportunity to rewatch it!
