Re:Zero wants to be a real boy, but its growing wooden nose
tells the truth it doesn't want to admit to itself. If the warped face of anger looks forced, then guess what: it's forced. If the happy moments felt a bit too inflated with random rose peddles flying around and kawaii-level faces, then guess what: it's inflated. If sadness felt unauthentic with instantaneous waterworks and elastic
expressions at the drop of a hat, then guess what: it's unauthentic. You're not interpreting it wrong. That pang in the back of your head that tells you this is kinda overkill isn't "just you. " Deep down you know what you're seeing is over exaggerated, and after time has settled and you reminisce about key events, that would become
clearer than ever. Re:Zero is a novelty act that blinds you with flurries of action and plot twists, but the moments the spectacle is over, what would remain is the realization that what you held dear was nothing more than snake oil sold by a quick-witted businessman.
Even things like auditory cues can't help but feel like the show signaling excessively to get your attention, an example being a high pitched hum, like angelic beings from a choir taking a laxative-laced shit. It could be seen as "chilling" to some, or you could be like me and think it's the angels of heaven passing a kidney stone in orchestic unison. Point being it's played only to signal a disturbance.
Instead of taking the time to explain the Tomodachi Game in detail, I should probably just explain the fact that “tomodachi” is the Japanese word for “squid,” so the English title of “Friends Game” is actually quite deceptive. I know Japanese is kind of a confusing language to wrap your head around sometimes, but I think knowing the real title is “Squid Game” should get everyone on the same page. Anyway, the show begins with all the characters apparently suffering acute brain damage. God Yuichi and his friends, Tsundere Shiho, Glasses Tenji, Bleached Hair Shibe, and Yanderedere Kokorogi, are kidnapped and told they were all enlisted to play the game against their will when one of them secretly went behind everyone else’s back and applied to play because they were in serious debt. The idea is everyone takes on an equal share of the debt and plays through each round with the goal of working together to carry the load and incrementally decrease everyone’s debt at the same time, therefore supporting each other and ensuring everyone
leaves with the group’s collective debt having been cleared (squids are known for being good friends fyi, very symbolic, very deep, yes, yes). However, if their bonds aren’t as deep or meaningful as they once thought,
then betrayal and competition could lead to infighting that turns the Squid Game into a fierce contest wherein each player tries to saddle the others with their own debt to make sure they alone leave unscathed. The actual details of each game bounce between being utterly vague and misleading, to wildly meticulous and way too detailed for anyone to reasonably keep track of, but to even reach the games, the characters have to first consent to play. After all, whether they forgive them or not, they now know there’s a traitor among them, and they have to come to terms with that. and they do.
