2023-05-03 13:57:31 +0000 UTCI noticed that you guys aren't watching this show on blu-ray version at 16:6. In the blu-ray version, this scene shows Subaru's eyeball.. If you can get a blu-ray version, I recommend watching it.

2023-04-30 20:15:15 +0000 UTCIts really easy to miss, especially on the first watch, but this loop is 5 days. Roswell mentioned it in the first loop in passing when talking to Ram how long its been. Its easy to not notice how long it is. Not a huge detail, but it just drives home even more how hard it would be to reset. Losing a week of interactions and connection building is way worse than losing a day. I imagine it would be exponentially worse.

2023-04-27 23:20:03 +0000 UTCI personally think that the show flows a little better in the directors cut. I always watch this show and show it to others as the directors cut for season 1 now. But thats me. Some people have pointed out that it may be better for reacting to see this, as you can react to each "half" as well as the end. Dunno. I think the discussions would still be really good with the directors cut, but Im excited to see your reactions either way!

2023-04-27 00:32:47 +0000 UTCAgain, a minor reminder that comments won't be read by AutoSave, I ask you to respectfully accept such circumstances without throwing a childich and unnecassary hissy fit. Such decisions certaintly have their benefits and drawbacks in general but reading though some of the comments here, I welcome that choice. If you are desperate for interaction I would highly suggest increasing your social activity. Most of what is written are either spoilers, things they already figured out or other banal things, anyways. This was not meant as a personal affront towards anyone personally. Have a nice day you all!

2023-04-26 20:24:15 +0000 UTCAnother problem with Director's Cut is that since it doubles episode length, the discussions would suffer (since they would probably be roughly equal in length to just single episode discussions and it's harder to remember everything). I especially would not want to see ep. 18 + 19 as a single episode, feels like it takes away from the first episode. The benefits to Director's Cut are minimal at best.

2023-04-26 16:41:45 +0000 UTCMy favourite part of the director's cut are actually a couple of the redrawn fight scenes in the second half of the series, I actually prefer the split episodes over the ones that were combined (besides 1a and 1b). I just don't think there's anything important enough in it to repeatedly ask to switch now that we've started

2023-04-26 09:06:54 +0000 UTCI agree that the anime doesn't make it clear that more than a day passed, but that second point is basically a spoiler

2023-04-26 09:03:05 +0000 UTCGreat that you caught the Betty thing remembering Subaru! Many people get completely the wrong idea here because they forget that Subaru woke up twice.

2023-04-26 08:29:25 +0000 UTCI prefer the normal version over the Director's Cut. Only benefit of DC is a single minor redrawn scene. It has more negatives than positives: a major scene censored, combines episodes that were originally designed to be single episodes (removing the overlapping ED song too), questionable changes to the Hakugei later, etc. The normal version is much better overall in my opinion. I do like the first scene of S2 being in the last episode of S1, but it's not worth it in my opinion.

2023-04-26 08:22:24 +0000 UTCThe directors cut removes the censorship present in the broadcast version (what crunchyroll uses for the series) and re-edits some scenes to pace them a little better. I think the more important part though is that the back half of season 1 is paced significantly better in the combined episode chunks the directors cut uses compared to how episodes are split up originally. I do agree with your point that you can digest the story more when it is split into more episodes but I think the directors cut is overall a much better experience.

2023-04-26 07:48:29 +0000 UTCNot sure where is the best place to voice this since it was brought up, but I would love if you guys switched to the Directors Cut.

2023-04-26 06:30:02 +0000 UTCTHIS IS NOT A SPOILER! . . . . . . . The anime is not very clear about how much time has passes between Subaru waking up in the mansion and dying. It's three or four days (can't remember exactly). This is important to remember in later episodes. . . . . . . . Another thing the anime drops the ball on is Subaru's hands. If you go back to episode 4, he explains how he got all the injuries, which is also important, because he mentions things they don't show until episodes five and six. . . . . . . . . . . . Loving the reactions so far, keep up the good work!

2023-04-26 06:15:57 +0000 UTCI would recommend watching the Re:ZERO Shorts as well, maybe after each episode discussion. There is one for each episode, and it usually combines furthering lore with some humor.

2023-04-26 05:37:35 +0000 UTCOne more thing that is missed out on without the director's cut is the post-credit scene on the final episode is cut in the original. It's repeated at the beginning of the second season, but I feel it's better placed at the end of the first. The director's cut is split into two episodes a piece, 1a and 1b together, 2 and 3, 4 and 5, and so on. So if you start episode 4 of the director's cut next episode (6) you will be right where you need to be.

2023-04-26 03:01:25 +0000 UTCI have a feeling that Subaru just running out of his room in the morning when the twins came to wake him up changed a lot about their attitude towards him over this episode's week

2023-04-26 01:31:52 +0000 UTCBeatrice remembers Subaru because that was the 2nd time he woke up in the mansion, the first time was when Beatrice drained Subaru’s mana and he passed out. His checkpoint got moved to when he woke up after that

2023-04-26 00:59:15 +0000 UTCThe directors cut is way better to me. If you want to swap to the directors cut, you actually lucked out because episode 5 is the 2nd half of episode 3 of the directors cut. So you can start on episode 4 of the directors cut now
SWAGxMAGICIAN
2023-04-26 00:58:08 +0000 UTCThe director's cut is just a version of this season that's better put together. Some of the scenes I prefer in the director's cut, a few I prefer in the original. There isn't really much of a difference in actual content, just more polish. Swap to it or don't, I personally don't really mind.
