Great winner. I'm so excited for this. I've got a lot to comment about for this show.

romaniablack

It's about time, after so many have lamented it's not won the polls, etc! I am excited to dive into this series and join the fandom! Thanks for the comment!

I haven't watched Rezero but my friends and other reactors are always having such detailed and exciting discussions about it that I said you know what if Romania reacts to it I'll watch it and here we are. So I'm looking forward to the discussions on this one.

Gus N

I'm excited! Here are some things for you and the mods to take note of: - Please do not watch the so called "Director's Cut". All it does is combine every two episodes after the first episode into double length versions. It really messes up the pacing in some episodes, and has almost no benefit while actually being inferior to the regular version in multiple other ways. - The subtitles on crunchyroll are really bad. Absolutely definitely get the "FLE" release on nyaa for this one. Please! If you want, I'm totally willing to upload all of the episodes and extras with the best subtitles to my drive so that you can have the best possible experience! - The first episode is double length, but due to some mistake, some sources have split it in half. If that's the case when you watch it just make sure to watch both halves. If you watch the "FLE" release I mentioned above, you wont need to worry about it. - There are chibi shorts that can be watched after each episode but they aren't included within the episodes themselves, they're separate files. In later seasons some of them contain important plot/character info that doesn't get explained in the main episodes. - There are two OVAs which are canon and plot relevant. They can be watched in order after the end of the season and before starting season 2. Alternatively OVA1 can be watched in the middle of the season. There are pros and cons either way. - Finally: HUGE warning that the re:zero community is basically spoiler hell. There's so much content cut from the novels compared to the anime that people can't help but flood the comments with every little thing that was different, even if parts of it will be brought up in the show later.

It smelled your fear! 😂

romaniablack

Thank you for the kind words and comment - I'm glad this is encouraging folks to watch it with me! :D

romaniablack

It REALLY did! XD The cosmos sensed my fear!

sanime

Maybe since AniNews cut content videos is roughly 15 to 25 minutes she can watch it and make notes before she watches each episode. I've seen other reactors do this on their own time or as a separate reaction altogether if they want to do that. Some people don't do the cut content and they're still fine but if she wants to get the complete picture this might be better. Maybe a folder can be made for each season so she doesn't have to navigate the channel and get spoiled.

Gus N

Definitely not. If she wants to get the complete picture she can read the source material. She's done it for multiple other series.

sanime

She might not have the time to do that. It depends on her and what the mods decide.

Gus N

That's fine, she can just watch the anime and judge it on it's own merits.

I wished for Durarara, but Re:Zero has a lot of fans so it may be a good winner. Nice to see the wheel of fate again

L Freya

Wonder if we will have another 86 situation on our hands! Who knows! Very curious to see how it goes! Fingers crossed for the best! Whoever is moderating has their job cut out, the fanbase is cruel enough to scare another reactor from reading comments! I can't imagine that happening here through!

Karen Ai

Same!! Durarara nooo, but one day hoepfullly it will win

romaniablack

Thanks for the comment and the Wheel of Fate hath strucketh! I definitely would enjoy getting to Duarara at some point!

Jason N

Shoutout to the brother for the Dorohedoro recommendation. A fellow man of culture lol. Have not seen Re:zero but know it’s popular and seems to do well on YT. Maybe a good time to check it out with the reactions.

romaniablack

I definitely want to get to Dorohedoro eventually!! It's on my to-watch list! I am definitely INTRIGUED and curious with Re:Zero -- I can't wait to dive in! Thanks for the comment!

romaniablack

I appreciate all this info but avoiding all this for now - I will have a mod for this channel and as you know, I go in blind to my reactions. I will say, I will not be reading the light novels; I just do not have time with all going on in real life and my channel. This will be an anime only reaction, but I will talk with the mod about what is allowed for me to know, etc. So please have faith in that. Also, there will be a poll to see if I watch the Director's Cut vs. The regular season here on Patreon. It will be left to a vote and I ask that folks respect that or I will not react to the series. Thanks for the comment and I am excited to get into the series!

romaniablack

I really don't want to start a series with the anticipation that I'll hate it or dislike it like 86...but I'm very nervous already for this series but going to try and go in blind and have fun! Thanks for the comment!

L Freya

I definitely wouldn't want that, I apologize for putting it out there! I guess I kind of got that vibe from the video and stopping after 1 season if it doesn't end up well. I honestly have no clue how it'll go, if anything I would bet on you quite enjoying it, but the who knows is really who knows! :)

romaniablack

Ahhh, I see what you mean! Thanks for clarifying that - yeah, I'm hoping it doesn't end up like 86 where I stop after Season 1, but that series definitely taught me that if I'm not feeling it, then to just stop and move on. Sorry I misunderstood your meaning, there! But thank you -- I hope that it's enjoyable as well! :D :D
