I heard Rem was supposed to write the letter to Emilia but because Gluttony ate her Name everything related to her disappeared, so the letter she wrote became a blank letter and Rem was named Rem because of Random Eye Movement when you're in deep sleep.
bruh i read the light novel of arc 3 completely and watched the anime countless times and still didn't know why the letter was blank. that makes SO much sense thank you
Huh. I had heard from someone that a certain person was who arranged the letter to be switched, but I never considered the timing of when Rem would have been nom'd. Dang. I have seen Re:Zero at least 20 times, so how did I never figure out the timing.... 😢
2:34 oh wow i never paid attention but this is intentional. idk if it's mentioned in the anime but ground dragons all have a divine protection that lets any vehicle connected to them experience no turbulence. it was important in the final confrontation with petelgeuse (he got caught in the barrier between the outside and the divine protection influence which got him stuck in the carriage's wheel and shredded) so yeah, very cool :)
31:05 You are absolutely right! No one brought up Rem in those episodes because the event had already happened. And it's also why the letter was blank. Because the letter was written by Rem, and all traces of that person existing vanishes when Authority of Gluttony erases them from the world's memory.
Btw even in real life it's possible to reattach limbs if its preserved properly and attached back in time. Felix being the best in the kingdom and possibly world at healing magic is easily able to reattach them.
Starting off episode 1 of S2 with pure pain. My boy Regulus is here. And he's ready to rant. And rant. And rant some more. And if you even think of interrupting him, you must be eliminated for trying to take away his rights

Oh, I suppose they call it the White Whale now." happens before Subaru dies frozen throughout and laughing like a madman.
22:15 Tappei (Re:Zero author) wrote some "what if" stories where Subaru makes different choices from the canon events. Each one is named after a sin. The Sloth IF story is "what if Rem and Subaru actually ran away together." The images we see are from that story.

But injuries and illness affecting the brain are really diverse. I used to relate to a lot of DID traits and then also have cptsd(although I hate all the subcategories in psychology for these things like cptsd is kind of like a positively framed version of bpd with the focus on relationships switched for emotional regulation type stuff) and flashbacks which are unprocessed memories don't just involve reliving events completely but also emotionally re experiencing while having the awareness of your current events/reality. And dissociative amnesia also fits in that it's complicated. You can completely suppress memories, have an understanding in terms of facts that happened at the time without any of the feeling of it happening to you etc. Dementia affects far more of the brain than other things which cause amnesia, tbh I think physical injuries, diseases and so on don't apply to this as well as things considered psychological, not that they're at all differentiable anyway and mental illnesses, personality disorders etc can produce symptoms like panic attacks or changes to senses which aren't limited to the brain, however many types of dementia affect the functioning of neurons in a very widespread way.
Tldr: in thinking about how people react without memories due to something magical, it's analogous to the sorts of case studies which are much more generalisable within neuroscience yet much rarer to be able to carry out, where a patient had very isolated brain damage sometimes due to strokes and it allows the role of that region to be studied without extra variables. Dementia is the opposite of that, it's much more likely to affect multiple regions with different functions.
This season is great! Definitely lower production quality sadly due to Covid and the studios issues, but still a great season narrative wise. Luckily s3 looks back to form on the animation side of things

Super happy to see that you guys caught the few frames after Lye attacks Rem. Not many reactors I've watched have caught that, which is fair since it's so quick, but it's a super neat detail put in by the animators (a nod to the Re:Zero IF spinoff stories)

No sé cómo les va a los demás espectadores, pero a mí me encanta cuando hablan de paralelismos con sus vidas al momento de contar eventos de cada capítulo. Los amo ❤ son de lo mejor reaccionando y comentando 😊
ye it's funny just how little worldbuilding there was in the first 3 full arcs. it was way more of a character focus and study and arc 4 still is, but it also goes way more in-depth about so many mechanics in the show
it's crazy how this amazing series will continue until approximately april 3rd where they will watch the final episode of season 2. hopefully by then, season 3 will be getting closer and closer. i kinda feel like it will be a summer release based on arc 5's setting but it's not like they have to release horror movies only in October so i hope it will be somewhere earlier so that they can continue to react immediately after ending season 2. i absolutely cannot wait to hear ANYTHING about season 3. if this covers arc 5 AND 6, our eyes will be blessed with peak fiction
There are going to be so many fantastic post episode discussions this season I can't wait! Since you guys enjoyed AoT in 9 minutes by Gigguk you should consider checking out Re:Zero in 8 min
Btw, 17:26 I believe the novel has Subaru RBD in this room, when they first beought her in, rather than out in the yard. I heard that was why that knife is on a plate next to the bed.
17:20 I may be confusing with another scene because there was a long time since i read it, but in the novel Subaru actually end himself again in that room. I don't know why they switch for just showing the knife in the anime.
They exchange that scene with the one in which he commits suicide after finding Rem, so they delete that one and added that other one. The knife is just a reference to that scene you mentioned and it was a really nice choice, there are some interesting dynamics that are gained by that change.
Important cut content from Novel : After the meeting, Wilhelm revealed to just Subaru a secret of his. He showed Subaru a scar on his chest, and it's quite unique as it was inflicted by a special sword. The scar itself was unique as well, as it would start opening up and bleeding the more Wilhelm got closer to the enemy, or the enemy who inflicted it on him got closer to him. Interestingly and surprisingly, Wilhelm revealed that this scar was inflicted on him by none other than his wife Theresia Van Astrea who is supposed to be dead, and yet the wound has started opening up after all these years🤔.
First of all, I can't speak English. But I'm glad you both watched the second season of Re:Zero＾＾ The first episode of Season 2 is sad because Crusch and Rem are unable to get back together. I wonder when it will go back. In particular, the original author Tappei Nagatsuki was cruel in letting Rem drop out. Mr. Tappei Nagatsuki seems to be a genius at thinking of cruel things. Also, I'm often told that I'm a genius at writing. The original work of Re:Zero is a web novel. Also, the Witch Cult Sin Bishop is too strong. Season 2 is a little difficult to understand, but I think you two can understand it. And it seems that Season 3 is likely to be broadcast in the winter or spring of 2024.
I'm so used to folks reacting to the Director's Cut, which has the "Who's Rem?" at the end of season 1's last episode, this reaction caught me a little offguard. Lolz
I hope I don't overstep my boundaries but the future Rem that we see when Rye eats her memory and name, is actually a glimpse in a Light Novel What if, which is where Rem agree to go with Subaru and run away during the Betelgeuse stuff. Another fun fact, much like Betelgeuse, and Subaru these two Arch-Bishops are named after Celestial Bodies.
@@TrinitytheApostle I haven't read arc 5 (I am an anime only, who is just aware of the details in the LNs) so I have no clue, that's funny that I said something spoliery without knowing it lol
@TrinitytheApostle Ya know, I'm caught up on the LNs, and I totally spaced on the constellation thing. Thinking back, I doubt it would inform much of anything, considering the context. If I had known thus before reading that part, I would have just thought, "Oh, cool!"
@@isuckateverythingbutistill3382 I'm anime only as well, but it's suspicious how they are named after constellations from OUR world, how would they know about constellations from another world?
One question you guys need to ask yourselves is, what are Mabeasts? Why are they different from regular animals? This is very important to figuring out their origins.
Didn't Puck say he can "kind of read Subaru's mind/feelings" or something along those lines? Back at the mansion arc. That would explain how he could tell Rem was supposed to be somehow connected to himself and have an idea that he didn't remember her because of gluttony. Also, so far I think the only times Subaru willingly k### himself was both times when Rem died (the cliff scene) and here. I don't remember any other instances ...?
He was successful these two times but he did try to die others times as well such as when RBD killed Emilia and he asked Beako to kill him since he was to depressed to do it himself
That about Puck is a way too literal way to take his words. He actually said something like he didn't feel any malice or hidden intentions from Subaru, and then he says that he can "read" his mind in the sense that it is too easy to know what he is thinking.
someone'll have said it but PFT to that I like giving bits of info Subaru's suicide by Rem's side takes place at her bedside in the LN's, that's one of the reasons why they linger on the knife and the apple as that's the thing he used to kill himself before, and worst of all Satella makes it so that the restart point is RIGHT BEFORE he plunges the knife in his throat. As others have said it would've been impossible as Rem and the convoy were attacked shortly after separating from Subaru and the others, as soon as the restart point was updated it was too late. And my personal feelings on it, Satella did that out of annoyance at Rem getting closer to Subaru, we see a similar thing happening in the coming Season 3 - and that OH dear is that a worse one than this.
I don't know if you had heard, but there is a director's cut of season 1, and the 'who's rem' was said at the end of the first season in the director's cut.
Not sure if this has been stated or not, and I know they don’t look at comments, but the real reason that Subaru tells Emilia about the stuff with rem is because, after the whale fight, Rem kinda forced a confession out of Subaru, but he meant it. To Subaru, Rem is just as important to him as Emilia, the only difference being that Emilia is the one he chooses to pursue. So, he explains to Emilia that Rem confessed, and he reciprocated the feeling, to which we get the whole “Who’s Rem” thing.
And this isn’t some, oh he loves her like he loves Betty deal, like, ROMANTICALLY loves her, yet even so, he chooses Emilia. They are both on equal standing, he loves them both equally, again, to a romantic extent
Because he has proven he is trustworthy, they have 2 spirits that can detect emotions. And he is griefing so they don't want to bother him. As well as strange abilities aren't uncommon. The only one to ever truly be suspicious is Rem but that wasn't even her job
return by death is an authority owned by satella, the witch of envy so it's not a blessing and subaru doesn't directly possess it but even if he did, the white whale couldn't tamper with it. the white whale's fog ability is different as in it erases every trace of your existence, while gluttony's can erase the name, memories or both. this doesn't erase their physical bodies like the white whale does. also, crusch's blessing does remain since it's not tied to her memories. it's something she was born with which is why she still makes unclouded decisions
4:14 Actually he was going to tell her that he likes Rem and that he also likes her and that he wants Rem by his side too cause he promised her. The manga made that clearer. The last scene between him and Rem in the manga sounded more like a marriage proposal :)
Likely cut due to being not super necessary to plot and due to uncertainty of future seasons so leaving the possibility open when in reality based on author's words likely won't actually happen
That's quite a lot of contrarian rambling about memory loss. If you don't have memories, you know nothing and has to rely on others, it's not difficult.
@@bryangarcia5207Is that made clearer in the light novel? Because Felis' reaction and the way Wilhelm is consoling him make it seem like she's already dead, but I could just be misinterpreting the scene.

And she wasn't taken out of the stroy for Emilia. Emilia in S1 was taken out of the story for Rem. When Rem got axes she wasn't as popular as the anime hadn't even been released
Rem wasn't taken out or something she was victim to a tragedy which becomes a focus and constantly explored throughout the coming arcs. Even though she's asleep she's essentially developed as a character. The impact she has on the choices every other character she knew made is highlighted, from Petra to Frederica, Ram, Subaru.

i have no idea why but regulus corneas is literally my favorite character in any show, his self-righteousness is so fun to watch
Bro when you raised all the wrong flags in the beginning lmao. "Its only ep 1 it can not be that bad?" "I dont want this to be a who is Rem thing"😭
Seeing over an hour of video promises a good discussion. This does put a smile on my face.
Season 2 of 'Depression' - the anime :))
There's just no happiness or fun in this show. Pure DESPAIR.
AND WE LOVE IT.
No sé cómo les va a los demás espectadores, pero a mí me encanta cuando hablan de paralelismos con sus vidas al momento de contar eventos de cada capítulo. Los amo ❤ son de lo mejor reaccionando y comentando 😊
Oh boy. You two are in for a treat! Season 2 is where the main plot actually starts! Enjoy the ride!!
ye it's funny just how little worldbuilding there was in the first 3 full arcs. it was way more of a character focus and study and arc 4 still is, but it also goes way more in-depth about so many mechanics in the show
Remember that blank letter? That was empty because that letter was written by rem, and her existence got wiped by gluttony right after
it's crazy how this amazing series will continue until approximately april 3rd where they will watch the final episode of season 2. hopefully by then, season 3 will be getting closer and closer. i kinda feel like it will be a summer release based on arc 5's setting but it's not like they have to release horror movies only in October so i hope it will be somewhere earlier so that they can continue to react immediately after ending season 2.
i absolutely cannot wait to hear ANYTHING about season 3. if this covers arc 5 AND 6, our eyes will be blessed with peak fiction
"nothing too bad could happen in episode 1" hahahah
oh man...
“Memories are what define a person”
There are going to be so many fantastic post episode discussions this season I can't wait! Since you guys enjoyed AoT in 9 minutes by Gigguk you should consider checking out Re:Zero in 8 min
Nah Never Please no. Its full of misconceptions and incorrect information.
Btw, 17:26 I believe the novel has Subaru RBD in this room, when they first beought her in, rather than out in the yard. I heard that was why that knife is on a plate next to the bed.
Ah yes, Regulus Corneas, the person with the strongest offensive and defensive ability in Re:Zero. However shall they defeat him... I wonder.
This season is heavy!!! I loved it, the history is awesome
17:20 I may be confusing with another scene because there was a long time since i read it, but in the novel Subaru actually end himself again in that room. I don't know why they switch for just showing the knife in the anime.
They exchange that scene with the one in which he commits suicide after finding Rem, so they delete that one and added that other one. The knife is just a reference to that scene you mentioned and it was a really nice choice, there are some interesting dynamics that are gained by that change.
Yes!! I can't wait to see your reaction to this season. Simply a mindlowing masterpiece
Can't wait for the upcoming discussions
Season 2 made Re: Zero for me as one of the top anime for me
It is in fact a masterpiece
Everyone asks “who is Rem” but nobody asks “how is Rem”
Man, it's been a while since I watched it, but seeing this again reminds me what a tear jerker so many episodes are this season.
“Now that everything’s safe”
Important cut content from Novel :
After the meeting, Wilhelm revealed to just Subaru a secret of his. He showed Subaru a scar on his chest, and it's quite unique as it was inflicted by a special sword. The scar itself was unique as well, as it would start opening up and bleeding the more Wilhelm got closer to the enemy, or the enemy who inflicted it on him got closer to him. Interestingly and surprisingly, Wilhelm revealed that this scar was inflicted on him by none other than his wife Theresia Van Astrea who is supposed to be dead, and yet the wound has started opening up after all these years🤔.
congratulations your comment has convinced me to pick up the light novel at my earliest convenience.
@@sadi5713Thanks, but you can also just read the web novel instead😁
@@RedDevilAxelfor arc 4 honestly the fan translations are much less consistent than yen press
You guys are on the right track with your predictions 👍
I'm excited to watch this with you! edit: I love the looks you gave Anna and Ben. gg
The talk about amnesia and reading memories reminds me of Bunny girl senpai when Sakuta is reading his journal.
First of all, I can't speak English.
But I'm glad you both watched the second season of Re:Zero＾＾
The first episode of Season 2 is sad because Crusch and Rem are unable to get back together. I wonder when it will go back.
In particular, the original author Tappei Nagatsuki was cruel in letting Rem drop out.
Mr. Tappei Nagatsuki seems to be a genius at thinking of cruel things. Also, I'm often told that I'm a genius at writing.
The original work of Re:Zero is a web novel.
Also, the Witch Cult Sin Bishop is too strong.
Season 2 is a little difficult to understand, but I think you two can understand it.
And it seems that Season 3 is likely to be broadcast in the winter or spring of 2024.
I'm so used to folks reacting to the Director's Cut, which has the "Who's Rem?" at the end of season 1's last episode, this reaction caught me a little offguard. Lolz
"That RE:Zero feeling" for people following along at home, is despair.
I hope I don't overstep my boundaries but the future Rem that we see when Rye eats her memory and name, is actually a glimpse in a Light Novel What if, which is where Rem agree to go with Subaru and run away during the Betelgeuse stuff. Another fun fact, much like Betelgeuse, and Subaru these two Arch-Bishops are named after Celestial Bodies.
The last part about celestial bodies may be considered spoilers for arc 5. But the first part is perfectly fine to comment
@@TrinitytheApostle I haven't read arc 5 (I am an anime only, who is just aware of the details in the LNs) so I have no clue, that's funny that I said something spoliery without knowing it lol
@isuckateverythingbutistill3382 yea😂the way you said it made me think you knew the importance of that nvm
@TrinitytheApostle Ya know, I'm caught up on the LNs, and I totally spaced on the constellation thing. Thinking back, I doubt it would inform much of anything, considering the context. If I had known thus before reading that part, I would have just thought, "Oh, cool!"
@@isuckateverythingbutistill3382 I'm anime only as well, but it's suspicious how they are named after constellations from OUR world, how would they know about constellations from another world?
One question you guys need to ask yourselves is, what are Mabeasts? Why are they different from regular animals? This is very important to figuring out their origins.
This episode always makes me cry
2期もとんでもないスタートになったな。今後もリアクションを楽しみにしています✨it is fun.
Like that we get to see Rigel and Spica in the main series even if it’s for half a second.
Thanks for the binge tonight guys❤
PEAK PEAK PEAK PEAK
Finally!!
Didn't Puck say he can "kind of read Subaru's mind/feelings" or something along those lines? Back at the mansion arc. That would explain how he could tell Rem was supposed to be somehow connected to himself and have an idea that he didn't remember her because of gluttony.
Also, so far I think the only times Subaru willingly k### himself was both times when Rem died (the cliff scene) and here. I don't remember any other instances ...?
He was successful these two times but he did try to die others times as well such as when RBD killed Emilia and he asked Beako to kill him since he was to depressed to do it himself
That about Puck is a way too literal way to take his words. He actually said something like he didn't feel any malice or hidden intentions from Subaru, and then he says that he can "read" his mind in the sense that it is too easy to know what he is thinking.
Ahh I still remember in season 1 when Anna said that Rem needed a long sleep....
someone'll have said it but PFT to that I like giving bits of info
Subaru's suicide by Rem's side takes place at her bedside in the LN's, that's one of the reasons why they linger on the knife and the apple as that's the thing he used to kill himself before, and worst of all Satella makes it so that the restart point is RIGHT BEFORE he plunges the knife in his throat.
As others have said it would've been impossible as Rem and the convoy were attacked shortly after separating from Subaru and the others, as soon as the restart point was updated it was too late.
And my personal feelings on it, Satella did that out of annoyance at Rem getting closer to Subaru, we see a similar thing happening in the coming Season 3 - and that OH dear is that a worse one than this.
I really can't wait for their reaction to the snow bunny scene.
I think the fact that Subaru is killing him self for REM lohst he has also feelings for her 😭😭🔐
I don't know if you had heard, but there is a director's cut of season 1, and the 'who's rem' was said at the end of the first season in the director's cut.
Well yeah the directors cut was to add hype and the last directors cut episode was launched a week before S2 episode 1
Not sure if this has been stated or not, and I know they don’t look at comments, but the real reason that Subaru tells Emilia about the stuff with rem is because, after the whale fight, Rem kinda forced a confession out of Subaru, but he meant it. To Subaru, Rem is just as important to him as Emilia, the only difference being that Emilia is the one he chooses to pursue. So, he explains to Emilia that Rem confessed, and he reciprocated the feeling, to which we get the whole “Who’s Rem” thing.
And this isn’t some, oh he loves her like he loves Betty deal, like, ROMANTICALLY loves her, yet even so, he chooses Emilia. They are both on equal standing, he loves them both equally, again, to a romantic extent
That flash when gluttony ate rem memories is a glimpse of sloth if.
Lets gooo Season 2
that grownup version is the alternate timeline with Subaru if he ran away with her after she confesses her love to him
Imo, your memories isn't all there's to you. They absolutely are a huge part, but you can be naturally skeptical of people.
I think you guys should watch beyond journeys end (sousei no frieren)
Such a good show
3:29 oh man
24:50 your question is answered in episode 3 of season 2 and i think you already watched so you probably know now
guys need to increase the sound!!!
I always wondered: why literally nobody is being suspicious of Subaru that he's apparently the ONLY ONE that remembers Rem? 🤣
Because he has proven he is trustworthy, they have 2 spirits that can detect emotions. And he is griefing so they don't want to bother him. As well as strange abilities aren't uncommon. The only one to ever truly be suspicious is Rem but that wasn't even her job
That's weird coulda swore this was posted before
What about the movie? That is the one that connects teo seasons
"who is rem?"was supposed to be the ending of s1.imagine the cliffhanger and anger if it was made like that
That woulda been legendary
3:31 we really didn't cause we don't even know her 💀
Welcome to Hell Re:Zero Season 2 Episode 1
Oh look at the time. It's suffer o'clock again.
No its not
haha ha ha ha you wanted smooth start, well NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO !!!!
Don't worry, this season 2 is more crazier than the 1st :D
IFChara Natuki remu & Subaru,s kids👦👧
👍👍👍👍
42:54 We saw Subaru die from the White Whale last season, he kept his return by death blessing.
Subaru was never killed by yhe whale. And also RBD isn't a blessing
return by death is an authority owned by satella, the witch of envy so it's not a blessing and subaru doesn't directly possess it but even if he did, the white whale couldn't tamper with it. the white whale's fog ability is different as in it erases every trace of your existence, while gluttony's can erase the name, memories or both. this doesn't erase their physical bodies like the white whale does. also, crusch's blessing does remain since it's not tied to her memories. it's something she was born with which is why she still makes unclouded decisions
asap
4:14
Actually he was going to tell her that he likes Rem and that he also likes her and that he wants Rem by his side too cause he promised her. The manga made that clearer. The last scene between him and Rem in the manga sounded more like a marriage proposal :)
Likely cut due to being not super necessary to plot and due to uncertainty of future seasons so leaving the possibility open when in reality based on author's words likely won't actually happen
Two reaction for weak plis
💀💀💀💀💀💀
That's quite a lot of contrarian rambling about memory loss. If you don't have memories, you know nothing and has to rely on others, it's not difficult.
36:52 Crusch _did_ die the first time. We see Felis crying over her body at 9:40
She didn't. He was crying over what happened
@@bryangarcia5207Is that made clearer in the light novel? Because Felis' reaction and the way Wilhelm is consoling him make it seem like she's already dead, but I could just be misinterpreting the scene.
He was probably crying over her missing limb and being passed out. But crusch didn't die there I think
She didn't die, because that event played out exactly the same in both loops since Subaru wasn't involved at all
@@ben-san9677this is clear by yhe fact that the attack happened before the loop happened so no change was made by RBD
本当に残念ですが、二期は本来の本編が途轍もなく長過ぎて、アニメ化は成功とは言えない。原作者もアニメの不完全さに不満を呟いていた。
但し、この4章はweb版だと、前の1〜3章より遥かに長い、原作者入魂の力作です。それを商業用に短く編集し宣伝すらカットして放送時間を長くしても、結局は、アニメで全て表現するならば倍の労力が必要となります。
なので、日本人はweb版を読み直すか、アニメの為に再構築された小説版を買い、脳内で補完しました。
実際のところは…この原作者が若い頃インターネットに投稿した作品は、パワフルで速度も天才的で、受賞し、原作者が不満を言う気持ちは分かります。けれど頑張れば、話の内容だけは一応伝わります。そして、4章の次に人気がある5章、アニメ三期には必要なものです。
アニメ4章を情報なく考えたら、脳が震える。というか、描けなかった部分と敢えて残した部分が絡まり疲れるので、2期視聴を終え3期の前に原作を読む事は、全くアンフェアではないと思います。
もしかしたらアニメだけの理解が困難で本の購入で確認させる事も狙いだったのかも知れません、不明ですが。
追記:このコメントに関し、私の誤認が有った事を認めます、詳細は以下のコメント指摘にあります。
フレデリカ1分に一度は出せや制作う！などの理由は…まぁ個人的に有ったかも知れない。訂正しお詫びするが、推しが多いんだ仕方ない(弁明)。とにかく、大物作品3-4抱えるauto save様や他のコメントや視聴者様に、ともすればネガティブな印象を与えた事は…あの…ええと翻訳バグ(嘘)で申し訳ない。
私はこの作者を他のweb小説家並(以上)に当時好んでおり、熱くなってしまった
@hidetakamiyazaki1825
放送時の作者の呟き見てましたか？
@hidetakamiyazaki1825
well, I have to collect what I wrote.
ur right & thx for pointing it.
actually, in the beginning, ”nezumiironyanko”(web h name) didn’t get award, then become web-site-writer, the 2017 SUGOI MANGA award was for “Nagatsuki”(another name), so my comment was something damn, also including missleading, I recognize. sry
also, thx 4 pointing about his tweets. negativety can't be find now, I'm not sure, that was so-what my memory don't existe or dxxxxd.
but…, I guess ur native Jpnese, so u may feel non-perfect atmosphere from Nagatsuki’ tweets, like “I am ok”, other voice act name, compering his the 1st season's tweet&tenthion , I felt author’s hard endurance.
あっ、多分日本の方だと思うのでもう日本語使いますが、物語の作り方、でしたっけ、ラジオ番組2回目のゲスト長月先生の。ギャルゲはバッドエンドは見るタイプだ、とか言っていたと思います。多分CZcamsにその時のも探せばupあると思います。で、兎に角監修他行う、真摯な側面もあるかと思い、日本人ならば、そこは呟きからも察しが文化ではなかろうかと
微妙なニュアンスですが、2期呟きはこれ視聴者理解の為に補完する努力に重点が…長文ですね
togetterなどで‘20や’21の確認お願いします
@hidetakamiyazaki1825 ついでに言いますが、6章が面白いのは当然じゃないかなぁ、と。
2章で既に人気出ていても、4章は、ネタバレ避ける為誤魔化しますが、無駄無駄無駄オラオラオラなアレとか…10年前、20代半ばであれは天才でしょう、6章は今は話やめましょう、多分作品ファン同士、先は触れたくない筈
@hidetakamiyazaki1825
thx for ur likely univ essey writing style
分かりやすい書き方感謝ですが、他所のコメント庭ではもうauto saveさんに迷惑、だがそれに倣って説明し直す
⭐︎私はSUGOI JAPAN award 2017アニメ部門受賞とwebの混同を認め、貴方の指摘を正しいとした
・根拠としてCZcams上にある長月氏インタビューまで(良いのか知らないが)存在を紹介した
・・つまり、私は私のミスより作品や背景の正確さ優先を表明済
⭐︎⭐︎ヒントは出したが、尚疑問があれば自身でtogetter系の情報は探せる
・1期や新ver1期、2期の視聴同時呟きは多数でも、その点に疑問を持つ事は、他のaward言及からも承知の上でのコメントと考えられる
・・どれ程の呟きの量だと思われます？その全てを示すだけでもスパムレベルで提示は荒らし行為
☆☆☆リンク提示は不用
・例えば21年🎎の深夜辺りを個別に挙げるリンクよりワード検索で容易に行き着く
・・これリンク貼れるの？
・・・日本人なら、作画に関しあまり呟かなかった、「個人的には」のフレーズ多用で、最低でも、超評価ではない可能性を察してしまう
○コンクルージョン
実際はラノベ受賞である事は私も証拠を出し誤りとし、作者呟きは現状確認不能であり、不適切と認めその指摘には謝意を表した。
その後、此方の言に触れず、詳しさから一転し、あからさまに不自然な検索不可能姿勢、一方的にリンク要求をした。
傍目からすれば、寧ろ見え透いた典型的な煽りとなる行為だ。
てか某to…/com/li…これノートンやらに嫌われそうで貼れるものか？
呟きの「個人的には」多用や触れない点…それは最低限超褒めてはいない…その受け止めは多種多様でも、一般的には察するものだろう、呟きで解説の比重が多かった事も同様。
ならば…この不合理さから、貴方の目的は、私への断罪・己の評価なのではないか？リゼロを知っていながら、もしこの仮説が少しでも身に覚えが有るなら、失望しかなく、最早…エミリア差し置いて、ラム・レム・ロム派で争いが起きておかしくない…程度のものだ。
取り敢えずサンプルとして、†貴方の魂†は、よくある間違え認めた相手でもオラオラな伝統的マウンテン系で良い性格なのか、垢スクショ付きで呟いたー世界で一般論に問おうと思う。これは自然か不自然な意図的な物か、から。
…と言いたいところだが、まぁ…こんなんは、web版派と他でよくあることで結局はリゼロ好きでは有る…そこがぶつかるのも作品好きが理由なら、一種の同志。
けれど…訂正相手に対し踏み付けや⚽️キックや四点ポジション膝なら勘弁願いたい。
万一悪意であれば(失礼)、こんな事よりも、フレデリカをもっと推し、電子版文字小さいの有るとか、違う！作品自体の良さと今後のワクワクを建設的に示していただきたい
あっいずれは、8章ちゃんと読みますが、まぁリゼロ好き同志…仮説自体が違うのが最善か…直合えば推しで揉めるかもだが、話は通じるのだろうなぁ
6章の返答忘れていましたが、年齢やキャリアや新鮮さで6章面白いとというかこれまさか話畳めないかおのれ文庫？…も…4章の更新速度の爽快感vs6章これ流石に更新遅いが、まさか畳めないのか？な不安…
けれど、4章更新の天才モードと円熟6章の良さは別世界だと言うにはもう10年近く経つし評価や楽しさが全然違う事も、忘れられて仕方ないのか…
I was soo done w this show I mean it’s kind me good wants gonna happen but TAKEN MY REM BC OF EMILIA PISS ME OF REM BEST GIRL Ever
"BC of Emilia"
Genius, Rem got eaten in 2014, when percentage of remfags in community was extremely low. You're literally blaming other character for Rem being simply useless in plot and weak.
@@user-wq3vc9bg3n she is not weak
@@maamekonaduamankwah-awuah4969she is weak in the grand scheme of the world. Barely Crusch and Frederica level. Which is indeed low. She can barely take out a few low pevel mabeasts and cultists.
And she wasn't taken out of the stroy for Emilia. Emilia in S1 was taken out of the story for Rem. When Rem got axes she wasn't as popular as the anime hadn't even been released
Rem wasn't taken out or something she was victim to a tragedy which becomes a focus and constantly explored throughout the coming arcs. Even though she's asleep she's essentially developed as a character. The impact she has on the choices every other character she knew made is highlighted, from Petra to Frederica, Ram, Subaru. And that's even though she literally barely made relationships out of work.
