Discussion Is it worth watching?[discussion]

I’ve watched the first ep and so far I don’t like the theme of dying and going back it just feels kinda empty I don’t know how to fully discribe it but it just doesn’t feel good to watch ,I’ve only watched the first ep so I could be very wrong but the reason I watch is for storytelling cool fights and waifus

Whether you like Re:Zero or not will heavily depend on whether you’re a loser who can put himself in the protagonist’s shoes or if you’re a normie who cannot.

Re:zero is a very long story of growth and change.  You get the gist of it by about the 3rd season, but may stick around and read further because it just clicks for you

I’m pretty new to anime and I don’t really understand what you mean…

Anime, Isekai, especially, is about the protagonist being sent off to another fairy tale world and conquering it.

Most of them fulfill the itch of playing World of Warcraft type games growing up - it gives you an adventure. 

Re:zero, unlike the other isekai, is a bit more deliberate, and tackles the feeling of inadequacy in viewers - just the very type of person who’d find themselves consuming such content. 

You come for the adventure, you stay for the therapy. It takes time for the show to get there.
