It's time once more for a Minilog, this time covering the first season of the anime Re:Zero Starting Life in Another World! Join us as we go over this time looping isekai that defies the usual expectations of isekai by not being a total power fantasy! We talk about Subaru and his persistent inability to die, and how that does very little to actually help him solve the issues he faces in Lugnica which mostly stem from him having to get over his own shit that he brought with him from earth.

We discuss all that we have learned, and John continues his exploration of the adaptations. From the excellent manga adaptation that elevates the work almost as well as Tatarigoroshi did and an almost good anime adaptation that has a good run for the first few episodes then perpetually steps on rakes as things go to shit, this time it runs the gamut.

And by her sister Mion, who reveals the terrifying truth that the three families have nothing to do with the strange happenings in Hinamizawa. Reveals abound in the emotional climax of Meakashi!

The year advances to 1983 and things start to get a little more familiar, as we experience some of the events of Watanagashi through Shion Sonozaki's eyes. It's still different in some places, but eerily similar in others, but with Shion's perspective we get to see her hearing mind Satoshi and getting closer and closer to the truth, guided by her intricate behind the scenes knowledge... and her stun gun. We have watched Shion ascend, now let's watch her crash in to the narrative from high above and

Why, pose as her sister to cause severe damage to her social life, of course! She encounters the peculiar Rena Ryuugu, who proselytizes for Oyashiro-sama as a way to show how much trouble she knows Satoshi is in, and then takes Mion's place at school to solve what's really causing Satoshi problems: a totally innocent and horribly abused nine year old child named
