Paper Lion posted:idk what it is about re:zero but i cannot sit through it at all. it ticks similar cringe receptors as the office does. this is a bad thing, i hate the office. only managed to get through like 3 episodes of it because i have to pause it constantly and come back later. think it might just not be for me. bookworm sounds boring too and not really for me. keep in mind this is all coming from someone that was able to at least sit through that doom march isekai show a while ago. it wasnt good, but it was watchable. but very boring and slow. idk. might just have to watch log horizon season 1 again or something. or replay a .hack game. sorry to be a party pooper. if anyone has any other good recommendations i will try them. Well if cringe is the problem then here's another terrible protagonist. But in the 'was an actual criminal beforehand' way instead of being a teenager with too much The Office cringe energy. Maybe he killed some people too? Who knows, it's not cringe though and that's the important part. https://mangadex.org/title/43476/yakuza-reincarnation

the time that the horror elements of rezero were discussed in this thread did a good job at making sure I will never ever give rezero a chance. like I'm sure it's not just like non-stop torture porn? but that's what the thread was selling it as. everythingWasBees fucked around with this message at 04:25 on Oct 4, 2020 |

Yeah like I'm not saying it was! But uh it was a bunch of posts going on and on about how awesome and gory and brutal all of it was, as a way to try to get people to watch the show. I'm sure the show is genuinely fine but it was such an incredibly poor sell it has made me want nothing to do with the series. It's like if you tried to sell higurashi as "Oh man there's a show where these children get murdered in all sorts of horrific ways. It's like really gruesome, I really recommend it!" instead of, uh, the many reasons that higu is good.

Zombies have been a bunch of things, at first it was the slow creeping inevitability of death. Then it was the fear of the other, of people that are different from you taking over. Then it was about fantasizing about shooting your neighbors and people you dont like. Then it was about vore fetishism A natural progression really

i've certainly read and watched much worse isekai stories than re:zero, but after a 3 ep test i decided it just isn't for me. i get that the format of the story is long setups leading to satisfying payoffs, but that long setup features a protagonist i dislike.

 It's one thing to give a content warning so people can make an informed decision but positioning that content as a selling point doesn't really help imo, at least considering you're currently in the thread for people who would rather not read gross poo poo. Like, read the room.

The "I highly recommend it" was a joke.

I mean like I read all of this garbage don't get me wrong I'm not trying to morally posture about it or anything, It's just the like four or five predecessor threads proved that it's impossible to discuss isekai in general for any significant period of time without the thread going to complete poo poo, and without all of the recommendations also being a bunch of stuff where the main character keeps slaves and poo poo which most people aren't comfortable with for pretty apparent reasons!

Captain Invictus posted:Now now, let's not get ahead of ourselves here, rezero is absurdly gory and fairly constantly so, so it's good to at least give people a heads up if nothing else. Subaru gets eviscerated multiple times, with his intestines all over the floor or drowns in his own blood after having his throat torn open(or worse!) at least three times an arc. The anime censors it a fair amount but the manga straight up shows that poo poo. you have a series of posts where this wasn't a joke at all which was kind of what I was talking about as horrible sells that kind of made sure a lot of people would never read it three of my favorite series are higurashi, dorohedoro, and f/sn, so a series having gore in it isn't really a problem by itself everythingWasBees fucked around with this message at 20:19 on Oct 4, 2020 |

Yeah isn't there a multi episode him being a maid arc? I don't dropped out of that part. Only time it is good for the protagonist to be a maid is if it's a prelude to murding the nobels and that didn't look likely.

Life is to short to waste on watching characters I don't like. Nobody ever said he stops being a dingus so the trend of being really annoyed when he shows up will likely continue. Why waste time with something you don't enjoy?

a lot of subaru's character arc is him gradually becoming less of a dingus. these things take time. the dingus remains lurking in the background even at the best of times, but he's leagues better at the end of the first season than he was at the start, that's for sure. Though he still occasionally colossally fucks up, like throwing an extremely public tantrum in front of every single political someone-who's-anyone and gets outright called on it in an extremely painful but necessary way. He's a dipshit, but he's not some power-tripping idiot like most isekai, he's super powerless and desperately tries to keep the people he loves safe as best he can in an insanely dangerous world.

It would still be rad for someone to slap a dial in the back of a bad character's head and turn it from 'shithead' to 'saint' so they'd be tolerable immediately though.

Isekai isn't a real genre so it's no surprise a lot of it won't appeal to people based on their tastes. If you hate gore or a cringey protagonist you won't like re: zero, if you don't like giant rpg stat blocks the spider isekai will be boring, if you don't care about fluffy comedy you won't like bakarina, if you can't read you won't like bookworm etc
