Re: Zero Anime

"Re: Zero, a captivating anime and manga masterpiece, is the brainchild of the talented Tappei Nagatsuki. Born from the depths of the user-generated website Shosetsuka ni Naro in 2012, it has since evolved into a beloved saga. At its heart lies Subaru Natsuki, a seemingly ordinary loner who finds himself inexplicably transported to a fantastical realm. Gifted with the extraordinary ability to die and resurrect at specific checkpoints, akin to a respawn point in a video game, Subaru's journey takes a tumultuous turn. However, this power comes with a haunting caveat—a spectral force forbids him from divulging his ability to others, tormenting him with each attempt. Yet, undeterred, Subaru vows to shield Emilia, a half-elf candidate for the kingdom's throne, with unwavering devotion. Embraced by the warmth of her invitation, Subaru finds solace in a grand mansion and forms bonds with the twin maids, Rem and Ram. Yet, his idyllic existence is marred by repeated deaths in his quest to safeguard his newfound allies. As Subaru's resilience is tested, his mental fortitude wanes under the weight of his harrowing experiences. Nevertheless, driven by an unyielding determination to protect his loved ones, he soldiers on, concealing his anguish behind a facade of strength. Through his countless trials and tribulations, Subaru's unwavering resolve to safeguard his friends and beloved Emilia shines through, even amidst his darkest moments. And amidst the chaos, one poignant quote lingers, echoing the depths of his anguish and determination, evoking tears from even the sturdiest of hearts." Subaru: “ I'll tell you what kind of men I really am! I have no strength, but I want it all. I have no knowledge, but all I do is dream. There's nothing I can do, but I struggle in vain like an idiot! I... I hate... I hate myself! All I do, is talk a big game and make myself sound like a big shot, when I can't do anything! I never do anything, yet I complain with the best of them like it's my job or something. Who the hell do I think I am!? I'm a fraud, it's amazing that I can live like this and not feel ashamed! You know I'm right!? I'm an empty shell, there's nothing inside me at all! I know there isn't, guess that's obvious, anybody could see that. Before I came to this place... Before I got into the situation that led me to all of you, do you have any idea what I did with my life? - I did nothing that's what. I've never done a single thing worth mentioning, I had all that time and freedom but I just squandered it away on nothing. I could have done anything with my life, but I never did a damn thing! And what you're looking at now is the result - this cowardly, weak, worthless crybaby. All of my powerlessness, all of my incompetence, is the product of my rotten and pathetic character. Wanting to accomplish something important when I've never done anything to earn it, goes way beyond the limitations of arrogance! The cost of my lifetime of laziness and all the wasteful habits I forged along the way, just ends up killing both you and me! That's right, I have no character, even when I thought I could go in living here, nothing changed about who I really am. The old man back at the manor saw that part of me perfectly, didn't he? I wasn't trying to get stronger or trying to make things better, that was a lie, I was just striking an obvious pose to justify myself, to say that I was trying my best, that it wasn't like I wasn't doing anything, to be able to appear to be doing everything I could! I wanted to say "I couldn't help it", to be told that "It couldn't be helped". I was only pretending to push my body to the limit so that all of those excuses would be possible! Even when I had you help me study, I was just posing to cover up how embarrassed I felt to be such an incompetent idiot! Deep down inside at the core of my heart, I'm just a small, cowardly, filthy piece of trash, who's always worried about how others see me, how they'll accept or judge me. And nothing... Nothing about me has changed! I've known it since the very beginning, everything that was happening was my fault... I'm the lowest of the low. I absolutely hate myself.”
