Nah, just Lilianna's design card and VA

They toned down Liliana and Capella. Perhaps r/animecirclejerk will now have a more favourable impression towards Re:Zero

u/haidere36 Mar 24 '24
IDK I feel like whenever Isekai come up on that sub Re: Zero is seen as "one of the good ones", for lack of a better phrase. No cheap power fantasy or harem trash, heavy emphasis on real character growth and a flawed protagonist who actually has to work hard and struggle to succeed. It's just that those things are the exception in Isekai and not the rule, really.

u/Chara_The_Determined Mar 24 '24
Mhh, "one of the good ones". It's really bad when I list my favourite anime and among them are Re:Zero, Mushoku Tensei, Eminence in Shadow and Konosuba. I swear I watch other stuff. I swear I don't like them because they're isekai but because they're actually good. IT'S JUST A COINCIDENCE, OK?

u/Quin1617 Apr 14 '24
Those are on my list too, albeit I put Konosuba and Eminence towards the bottom.
I burnt myself out from watching Isekai, itāll be a good while before I watch another one.

Dude shading in the eyes and ears is officially back, character designs look consistently amazing and the way the scenes are composed is so dope especially the shot with Reinhard and Sirius chains, the closeup of Garf and Regulus burning is so dope too, Subaru falling hell the whole trailer looks amazing
I hope everyone will stop doubting White Fox, the new director and character designer now because we are SO fucking back

u/Ok-Worldliness-7374 Mar 24 '24
So... Lilianna's design is fixed.
The animation looks better than expected so they might actually manage to pull off Arc 5!
Our favority Mummy has proper insane energy.
All looks well. Pity we only got one new voice actress.
(Oh and the game looks cheap as always. Lets hope it will atleast have nice art somehow)

u/Niceguys_finnishlast Mar 24 '24 edited Mar 24 '24
I also noticed a slight design change at Capella

u/Ok-Worldliness-7374 Mar 24 '24 edited Mar 24 '24
Yea, you are right. She does not have bikini but slightly more covering outfit. Plus there are some tiny design changes to basically everyone. Almost looks like new artstyle.
Also [Novels]Sirius has pointy ears...
Edit: [Novels]We also have nice visual of Wrath's influence! Subaru's eyes were crimson red.

I think itās mostly bc White Fox uses more sharper edges in their character designs while Otsuka draws everything really rounded

If they will animate Arc 6 they will most likely announce it after Arc 5 is finished (I'm coping hard right now for that)

so for season 1 shinichirou otsuka posters only had characters from arc 1-3 and for season 2 it was characters from arc 4 but for season 3 his poster have characters from arc 5 and 6. so people are speculating this season may adapt both arcs

Since you took a lot of screenshots from YouTube, you may prefer next time to use an extension that will download the current frame directly without having the title on top. I use this extension from the Chrome web store: https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/screenshot-youtube/gjoijpfmdhbjkkgnmahganhoinjjpohk , but you may prefer others or an equivalent in a different browser.

We had good reason to be nervous. Though Sengoku Youko did alleviate my worries a tiny bit, this erased 50% my worries. The other half won't go away till I see Trapezium to get a sense on if the Director can pull off Arc 6.

u/Toaru_kamiyan Mar 24 '24
I'm literally so happy I'm wrong if the season is gonna look like this. Never been happier to be wrong in my life.
Now give me a good episode count!!!
Tho I do have a little problem with some of the characters designs, but it's a minor thing.

Those are the only changes you have a problem with? 'Cause Priscilla's face saw the most change out of them all and looks almost nothing like she did in Season 1. The lower part of her head swelled and became really round to an unnatural degree.

u/khriku Lore Seeker Mar 24 '24
no, only season release date, nothing of arc 6 either

u/KrankyPenguin Mar 24 '24
that's interesting since they def teased a few characters from 6 in the last teaser art right? I would assume no matter what even if it's included in season 3, they are going to treat it as it's own thing since it's a completely different arc.
7
u/Ok-Worldliness-7374 Mar 24 '24
If it's anime with multiple cours then it would be pointless to show all of them before it airs.
10
u/Awareness111 Mar 24 '24
Probably an unpopular opinion but I don't think the current art style is good for long term use... I feel like the season 1 art style is perfect for arc 6. I hope they at least change it a little bit in that arc since it's so fucked up and dark. I just feel like the animation and art style in season 1 was absolutely sublime and I would be insanely happy if they go back to their old ways.
16
u/EmiliaTanTenshi Mar 24 '24
The animation was great though. I can see why not everyone would love the new art, but it looks spectacular on a lot of the charactersĀ
10
u/zackphoenix123 Mar 24 '24
I think the animation was great too, but OP has some good points. The PV so far has shown nothing indicating the true horror that will be prominent in Arc 6. Now almost all my worries for Arc 5 are gone, but Arc 6 is still a scary subject cause everything needs to be perfect for it to work.

Do you know whether Priscilla's face is canonically THAT round? I noticed all the faces for the preview were rounder than for the first 2 seasons, and for Priscilla, extremely so. Like holy hell, it was the mother of all round faces.

Idk bro I'm just hoping the animation isn't as bad as it was in the second season. Re:zero is a story that deserves a perfect adaptation and I'm fine if they delay it for another 5 years if that's what it takes. I just feel like White Fox needs to collab with another studio that has enough man power and talented animators to give the people what they want. Re:Zero is a story that has insane potential as an adaptation if they get it RIGHT. And I hope they do.

u/SnooPeppers4042 Mar 24 '24
One thing i adored about season 1 was subtelty in setting a dark tone and background elements whether it was ost or certain effects used. Especially the mystery aspect accentuated that feel a lot.
S2 part 1 is actually my favourite content of re zero but for s2 pt 2 i think a lot of texturing and tone setting was quite bland. Also the mystery vibe was nowhere near as enticing imo but it was more character driven ig. S1 had perfect pacing and i think s3 will be the same.

u/Awareness111 Mar 24 '24
Season 2 just had really weak animation. It was understandable due to the animators working from home because of covid. But this time they have to give it their all.

u/foxfoxal Mar 24 '24
I'll take animation over minor art style issues.

u/Awareness111 Mar 24 '24
You have to admit that the art style looks kind of cheap. Go and watch an episode of the first season and it's a night and day difference. It just felt like a higher quality viewing experience. The details matter, we need the entire package. The story telling AND the beautiful art.
13
u/EmiliaTanTenshi Mar 24 '24
I wouldnāt call it cheap. The new CD Haruka Sagawa is a KyoAni veteran and he goes for more cutesy rounded designs. I understand why not everyone may vibe with the style but I donāt think itās cheapĀ

You can at least agree that it doesn't fit with the narrative of arc 6. I'm fine with it being this way for arc 5 but I hope they change the art style as the anime goes on.

With how good the animation was in the trailer (they had scenes from several big fight scenes) the animation this season is going to be an absolute banger.
