So for the first time in about 2 years, I've watched a lot of anime. Watched all of GATE S2, DanganRonpa S1, and a few episodes of Erased and Irregular Magical High School.

Mio x Ritsu of course!

Big + Small
Smart + Clumsy
Shy + Daring

And the list goes on! There is no other answer! But only seconds!

Tales of Unlimited Budget X remains solid. Ufotable makes it pretty, with story changes and expansions that improve the otherwise lackluster offering from the game. It also has one of the best OPs this season, so good on it.

Re: Zero really needs to start explaining things. We have seen three things that haven't been explained now from the past few episodes, but at least it's likely to cover something by next episode and tell us what one of the giant this and that is. Overall though, I appreciate that Subaru is learning what it means to negotiate with the highest members of society, and that even through his frustration, it's clear he's taking away knowledge that is bound to be useful. He'll probably die again before the next episode ends, but at least he'll be prepared to take necessary steps.

Claiming Gaara is better than Sir Crocodile? That dude is crayfish. You can tell him that too. 

I dropped the Naruto anime after the flashback arc with his mom, and the manga around 100 chapters before the end. Every attempt I made to get back into it I just found something else that bothered me, and eventually just gave up altogether. 

----------------------

Anyways, I'm falling behind on all my anime again, but I've narrowed down the shows I'm interested in following at least. The only potential drops might be Orange and 91 Days. Not because they're bad by any means...just because feel like one or both will kill me before the end.

People will never realize the awesomeness that is Mio x Mugi.

Huh... Why? He's basically trying to do just what you said he should do: he can't save them by charging in so he tried to have powerful allies, he failed to get some so he's trying to escape the confrontation before it begins. His reasoning is good, even if his negotiation skills are bad (but who doubted it against politics professionals who are his enemies?). Your second edit is the complete opposite of your original post... 

By the way, the last thing we saw has already been partially explained, they weren't able to use this road when they left the next day because of some fog, caused by what he saw... Judging by what they said then, there is a good chance they'll die, but we should learn new things quickly. 

He did, finally--and made a complete fool of himself.  Screaming and demanding help based on nothing but his word?  Threatening people far more powerful than him?  Alienating everyone, even snapping at Rem when her sister's life is on the line?  It doesn't make any sense to begin with how much influence he has, so why he thinks he has even more than that is beyond me.  He acted like a self-righteous asshole.  I would have turned him down, too.

I understand the premise.  He does everything wrong the first time.  And the second time.  And sometimes the third time, too.  His ONLY redeeming feature is his reset, yet he's still arrogant as hell.

Only at the very end did he come up with a decent plan and that was halfway based on a lucky meeting.

I really like 3 of those. I haven't seen DanganRonpa. Any good? Have you watched Parasyte the Maxim?

I agree that some things in Re: Zero needs to be explained a bit more but I like some of the mystery. I'm really starting to really dislike Subaru though. He doesn't think things through til it causes a problem and when he does think, it's very limited to the obvious. He doesn't try to really understand the world around him. He still wears that track suit and hasn't bought anything to improve his survivablity or clothes that help would him fit in in that world. I believe that his ability to come back to life is finite. Every time he dies, he comes back with a bit more of that witch's miasma which has created problems for him before. Who knows what will happen if it builds up too much. He doesn't make the most of each life to gather intel or grow stronger (learn more magic). He's been at the mansion twice already and hasn't searched any of the bodies of those cultists for clues or checked their faces for their identities. 

I'm just going to say put yourself in his position. cause if you think after seeing everyone you love dead, that you'll be able to think rationally you're insane. You're missing the entire point if you expect him to act rationally cause he's already broken. Any HUMAN would be. You get transported to an alternate world no clue how you got there and get killed just to repeat it over again. There is only so much you can take until you break which subaru did.  After what happened to Rem he's now pissed beyond reason and only cares about one thing, destryong the witch's cult, in other words he's blinded by hatred and still can't think rationally.  

I was talking about him in the overall sense. He's not a rational person for the most part but he needs to be. Personally, I'm a kind of a cold person and i don't like emotional people (overly emotional to me). From day 1, he's been too busy trying to get into Emilia's good graces and be chubby with her inner circle that he often doesn't think until he dies or made a mistake. It's evident during the "Return to the capital" and "Self-proclaimed knight natsuki" episodes.

I'm not blaming him for snapping after what happened in the newer episodes but alot of the difficulty he faces comes from his own choices during the periods of peace or periods in between deaths. Wearing a tracksuit, knowing he's going to go into a life or death situation is just idiotic. Use a bit of that big bag of coin to buy some equipment instead of hiring a bunch of wagons knowing they'll likely get attacked. 

One of the reasons why I expect him to think more rationally is because he knows he can reset back a few days after he dies, he should have become somewhat desensitized to dying and his friends dying. He knows it's not set in stone. To make the most use of his ability, he needs to think but he doesn't. My guess is that he was selected by whatever brought him there because he's not that bright and he could be manipulated easily.
