After about an hour, I've finally finished my Re:Zero character tier list, based on how much I like their character-writing in general. All of it is my Personal Opinion™.
None of the tiers are ordered. The empty tier is where Kiritaka would be if I could find him.
Ngl probably the best execution of the "Who's Rem" joke I've ever seen. Usually I only like these jokes cuz it evokes wrath from Rem fans, but this one was actually funny in its own right
Rare footage of Al thinking about how he's gonna reveal the season 1 cut content (he's been wanting to tell Subaru for a year but the directors didn't let him)
16 EPISODES FOR ARC 5 WE'RE WINNING
MOST LIKELY THAT INCLUDES THE FIRST EPISODE WHICH IS BASICALLY 4 EPISODES DUE TO LENGTH SO MORE LIKE 19 EPISODES FOR ARC 5
This is more than even I suggested, I was thinking 18 episodes
While Re:Zero season 3 discussion is still active:
PLEASE WATCH RE:ZERO BREAKTIME IT'S VERY GOOD YOU CAN LITERALLY FIND IT ON YOUTUBE THERE ARE TWO SEASONS THEY FLESH OUT THE WORLD-BUILDING AND ALSO INCLUDE EXTRA DETAILS THAT WERE CUT FROM SEASON 2 PLEASE WATCH IT'S VERY GOOD
One of the things I love the most about Re:Zero is how each arc utilises RbD differently so that it never gets stale, and I wanted to go through each arc and see how each of them use it
Arc 1 : Introduction to the ability where Subaru learns how it works through repeated uses
I seriously cannot get over how addicting Al is to look at. The made his helmet so shiny, how did they make a guy with just a helmet so satisfying to look at???
Easily an upgrade from season 1, let's hope that extends to his character as well
NEW RE:ZERO SEASON 3 LEAK
- There will be a negative number of episodes
- MAPPA will be adapting it
- The OST will be composed by Koji Kondo
- All voice actors will be recast
- Arc 7 will also be adapted in it
Re:Zero waifu wars and marketing have done irreparable damage to the series' external reputation. From the outside looking in, people think it's a waifu simulator
Legitimately my favourite protagonist of all time and possible my favourite character of all time. There are few that even come close to him. I could write essays upon essays about why I think he's incredible. Not only does he have amazing character dynamics with pretty much...
Why is it that every week I have to witness Re:Zero fans getting into drama AGAIN
I am begging you to just keep scrolling. We just got season 3, let's be happy
WHAT
HOW???
...I haven't seen Slime so I have to ask those that have... is Rimuru genuinely even close to the level of Subaru? Like as a character? At all? Subaru is one of the greatest characters I have ever experienced in fiction... does Rimuru really compete??
#ATCCL
: Subaru (Re:ZERO) and Rimuru (That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime) will share a point each as the hotly-contested Isekai Derby ends up in a tie - the very 1st instance in this year's CCL!
See other Character Champions League results at:
I've been seeing lots of people ask why Subaru doesn't just tell Reinhard to restrain Sirius instead of killing her. People have guessed lots of reasons, but the real reason is explained in the web novel. Hopefully this clears up confusion

Re:Zero fans finally found a second joke and once again they have used it to the point of it not being funny anymore
Emilia got buffed I get it let's move on. I swear this is my "Who's Rem?"
My favourite part of the trailer
Unexpectedly INCREDIBLY nimble and fluid animation, and they really tap into the feral and uncontrollable aspect of Roy, which is complimented by his claws
Re:Zero fans are so spoiled by Tappei cuz they'll look at an arc with incredible characters, insanely kino moments, multiple amazing affirmations of previous character development, a ridiculous increase in scope, a constantly shifting setting, and still call it mid
I knew people were gonna start slandering Re:Zero’s world building and power system since it seems like a common opinion among anime-onlys that they suck
Unfortunate that the anime cuts out the majority of world building so the best rebuttal you can make is “read the novels”
Some of this I agree with, some of this I don't
I agree that RbD is relied on too much, but that's also why I enjoy arc 7/8 so much. It fixes this issue
Also Subaru doesn't "choose" Emilia over Rem, common anime-only misconception. He chooses them both
Screw it I've been seeing similar opinions a lot recently so I'll give another one
Emilia is the ONLY candidate that should actively be kept as far away from the throne as possible. Every single other candidate IS fit to rule, Emilia would be abysmal
Conception é considerado o pior anime Isekai, com uma nota de 4.59 no MAL (e ainda tendo o mesmo ilustrador de Re:Zero).
O anime é sobre um cara que vai pra outro mundo e tem que engravidar garotas e ter filhos com elas pra salvar o mundo.
I just want to point out the hypocrisy in the drama for a second
Apparently redesigning Capella and Liliana is an unforgivable sin, yet when someone complains about Emilia's chest being larger, they're a tourist?
Be fr guys come on
I think the only thing I dislike so far about the trailer is EMM. Part of me doesn't like how nonchalantly Subaru seems to activate it, when reading this chapter I expected it to be a more dramatic activation but perhaps it works with more context
I've been a bit cautious about the new character designs for season 3 but seeing some shots on the website do make me hopeful
I particularly like these ones
Arc 7's pacing is good. People just say that it's bad because of waiting weekly for chapters
The Vollachia arcs also benefit the series much more than they hurt it. They massively expand the world-building, tie together so many side stories and have the most mysteries by far
While Re:Zero season 3 discussion is still active:

Re:Zero S3 being 38 eps is such good news!
The first ep being 90 min already extends the runtime to about 41 eps. With other eps being longer than average length, that number will only go up! My original guess and hope was that it would be at least 36 eps, so I’m satisfied!
Re:Zero anime-only criticisms are always so funny cuz it's always stuff like
- Subaru is annoying/uninteresting (apparently objectively true)
- Rem becomes a mindless Subaru enjoyer (cut content go brrrrr)
- Season 2 was uninteresting (apparently also objectively true)
Maybe this is due to my lower opinion of arc 6, but it's sad that whenever discussion of Re:Zero season 3 comes up, people go like "arc 5 is good, but JUST WAIT for arc 6!!"
Arc 5 is such a middle-child, even when WF doesn't mention arc 6, arc 5 still doesn't get the spotlight
Re:Zero's magic system is great because problems like this don't occur. Healing in Re:Zero is way more limited since it just boosts the body's natural healing ability. Long-term wounds can't be perfectly healed
There's even an explanation for why wheelchairs exist, it's great
"Imagine a world of magic."
"K."
"Now imagine a world with disabled people."
"Easy enough."
"Now imagine they're the same world."
"Wait, why wouldn't people just use magic to cure all disabilities?"
"Wow, you're fine with magic but not disabilities? You lack imagination."
My guesses why the Re:Zero LN has dropped off recently:
-Recent arcs are very long, readers feel burnout
-Season 3 arriving soon, some would rather wait
-WN is an accessible alternative to LN
-Readers stopping to read semi-mandatory side content
-Lack of anime, less hype
(1/3)
Isn't it crazy how Hector has done a far better job staying hidden in the story than Pandora?
>Appears
>Beats Roswaal beyond submission
>Refuses to elaborate
>Leaves and never appears again
What is Tappei cooking with him seriously
No hate on the list but it's always funny whenever people put Okabe so high but Subaru so low when (imo) Okabe is diet Subaru
Okabe is what Subaru would be if you had to condense the entire story of Re:Zero to one season
People are scared for Re:Zero season 3 but I'm mainly scared for season 4 (assuming it adapts arc 7). The fact that you need Battle Ballad, EX 4 and EX 5 info, which need EX 1, EX 2 and EX 3 info means that WF would pretty much need to adapt at least 5 OVAs beforehand
Made a Re:Zero suspicion tier list!
Note: When I say "suspicious" I don't mean "possibility of being the final antagonist" or whatever. I just mean how much of a character we don't know, or how many questions there are surrounding a particular character
12 hours until Re:Zero footage at AnimeJapan! I hope you're all excited!
In preparation for this occasion, I will be holding a watch party!
It will be in your room.
I am behind you.
Let us enjoy this trailer together.
Initial thoughts:
Some of the single frames of characters faces looks a bit weird, but the animation looks great! The Reinhard fight scenes look amazing and I am particularly in love with the Subaru scene with Sirius where he had the red eyes!
Kadokawa is now armed with a nuke that they can fire on any anime studio they wish
"I sentence you.... to adapting arcs 7 and 8! Complete with semi-mandatory side stories!!!!!!"
Everyone talking about how Re Zero Arc 5 "including myself" will be a challenge to animate thanks to it being action heavy.
Arc 7 & 8 will be a massive undertaking and I fear for the staff that works on it
Re:Zero bros think of it like this, the fact that we haven't gotten a trailer for season 3 yet shows that they're taking their time with it which is amazing
"Sengoku Youko" TV Anime Trailer Reveal!
Air Date: Jan 10, 2024 (3 Cours)
Animation Studio: White Fox
Original Action Manga by Satoshi Mizukami (Hoshi no Samidare, Spirit Circle)
"Arc 9 will have a wholly different atmosphere to the Arc than all Arcs before it!"
Sounds like arc 7 lol, I wonder if people won't vibe with this atmosphere either
NEWS: Tappei talks about Aldebaran in Volume 39, confirming that Arc 9 will be his main arc! (Formerly this was stated almost a decade ago, I believe, to have originally been Arc 7).
Though obvious enough, Tappei also talks about how Aldebaran's authority is different to
Putting the comment aside, it's funny how many people are parroting that Tappei is an open lolicon despite the fact that he has literally never mentioned that (correct me if I'm wrong)
After a long wait, I'm finally going to start reading arc 6! I've heard a lot of great things about this arc so I really hope it will live up to the expectations. I have no doubt that it will because Tappei is the GOAT
Reply below if you want to be tagged!
People would not be saying this if season 2 had even half the production-value of season 1 and it makes me sad. Here's hoping that White Fox doesn't fumble the bag with S3 like they did with S2, they have a second chance
Btw Choose Me is just a better episode 18, it's the truth
I genuinely don't know what I'm gonna do once Re:Zero ends in like, a decade. I've met so many great people in this community and I love this series so much that it'll probably be a huge turning point in my life when it ends
Broke: Tappei made arc 7 rely on side stories because he likes Vollachia
Woke: Tappei made arc 7 rely on side stories because it forces White Fox to adapt side content
The depressing thing about Re:Zero is that due to it being a mystery novel, it has the inherent trait of not being able to please everyone. Certain twists and reveals are not going to be satisfactory for some people, and may go against theories that people liked.
2024-2025: Season 3
2026: Anime hiatus
2027-2028: Season 4
Arc 5 to arc 12 is 8 total arcs. Assuming two arcs per season, 8 / 2 = 4 more seasons. If each season takes up 2 years (3 cours) + 1 year hiatus, then 3 * 4 = 12 more years. I will be middle-aged when the anime ends
Ok I did it, Re:Zero moral alignment tier list for as many Re:Zero characters as I could remember. Might change some around if I change my mind, moral alignments can be really difficult to understand
As annoyed as people seem to be that the "suffering olympics" are back again, at least it's with a character that actually deserves this discussion. It's really odd whenever people are like:
"Name an anime character that suffered more than Hello Kitty!! I'll wait"
@osu_MeovvCAT
Ah surely Makoto thought that he needed better foreign language prowess to read the sign but in actuality the sign has some very simple vocabulary so he only needs "average" academics
Totally
I get that Mushoku Tensei has a lot of haters so the fans may feel like cornered animals, but it really needs to be studied how good some people in the MT fandom are at escalating the situation when defending the series
My opinion on the "Tappei makes SSs too important" thing is... I think it's fine? SSs have always been extra story elements that build on the lore. I like being rewarded with plot-details whenever I read one
My only issue is that the SSs can be a pain to find without the fans
Arc 2 : Explores the idea of losing experiences with others, and Subaru starts using it as a tool to save others
Arc 3 : Shows the true horror of RbD. Possibly the most negative portrayal of the ability even up til now. We see how much it mentally affects Subaru for the worst
I see people panicking about Al's cut content being adapted in breaktime but tbh... it's a good place for it to be put without it feeling awkward
Also idk why people are concerned about it being in breaktime lol, what would you prefer, it not being brought up ever??
YESSSSSS GO WATCH BREAK TIME PLEASE IT'S SO GOOD GO DO IT
Also funny to see how big Al's new helmet design is in the chibi artstyle, kinda looks like a bobble head
Re: Zero Breaktime has been confirmed as returning to Season 3!!!
It will be shown first on AT-X, after each episode broadcasts, and then uploaded on YouTube at midnight every Thursday (Japanese Time).
Super hyped for this! After all, these chibi shorts usually expand more on
