(Minor spoilers will follow from here, as it is near-impossible to discuss an anime like this without revealing anything. )
I have seen many people compare Re:Zero to Steins;Gate in the months since its airing. This is a great disservice to Steins;Gate. Where Steins;Gate spent nearly half its runtime
developing the
setting and its characters before asking the audience to empathise with and feel for them, Re:Zero does so immediately and does not ever ask for consent. It never develops its setting in any meaningful way-- about all you know for the duration of the story is that it is generic fantasy-land where people hate witches and bad things happen all the time-- and it throws death and gore at the viewer from the very first episode, when nobody even knows or cares about who
Subaru is. It is shocking to see major characters die within the first episode, to be fair, but it no longer feels shocking the second, third or eleventh time.
If there was any consequence to these events, it is immediately brought to nothing by the show's contrived gimmick of rebirth and time-travel. It doesn't really matter if someone does die, as time will conveniently bend backwards for Subaru's sake-- never to the beginning, and always to the last major event in the story. There is no cost and no meaning to anything that happens. Subaru's mistakes are immediately
erased upon rebirth, and he can go on about his day with nothing but his own guilt holding him back. He is the God of his story and the world is his playground.
Wally switched to a more offensive style, which made Ippo confident that he would be able to trade hits. However, Ippo was the only one getting hit as he could not land a hit on Wally. Near the end of the
fourth round, Ippo hit a small milestone of touching Wally's body for the first time
with his fist. After the fourth round, Ippo went to the corner smiling form his small achievement, wishing to aim for bigger targets later one step at a time, starting with tapping Wally's body five times. In the fifth round, Ippo, while getting brutally hit, managed to tap Wally's body five times. Ippo was then beaten in the corner until the fifth match ended, with Yagi catching his fall with the chair, thanks to his chair skills.
Instead, the story forces the main character to make decisions based on a forced love
narrative that is crammed throughout the story. Imagine falling in love with someone after knowing each other for a few days, and
then deciding that you need to rescue that person because you are madly in love. It just completely ruins the story. Aside from this, the story is quite interesting, but random changes in characters' behaviors, which go unexplained, make the story frustrating to follow. Of Makoto Shinkai's films, this one has least clear direction. If there were no forced romance or sudden, unexplained, character changes, then I would have rated the story an 8 or 9.
