Good writing. Subaru is the MC but not the protagonist.

Arguably there is no protagonist. Reinhardt would be the closest thing to one in the show, though viewers don't really have enough info to see that yet.

You're going too deep. By definition a MC is the protagonist.

While technically true a protagonist is also supposed to be a decent part of what is pushing the plot forward. Be making the decisions that effect the story and facing the consequences etc. And there are plenty stories where the MC has none of those qualities and basically is only the MC because the author focuses on them which end up kind of blurring that the MC is the protag idea

[Tyrath]

Fair points. Subaru isn't like Vaan though. His actions have a lot of effects on the actual story, even if nobody around him seems to realize it. I just thought it was more silly to call Reinhardt the protagonist just because he fits that character archetype. He's nowhere close to relevant enough.

DR3 Future Arc Ep. 04:

Spoiler: show

Good God, Junko is back again! I even joked earlier that she will probably turn out to be the mastermind behind this since she surprise returned as an AI for DR2, only this time she is now a robot. I really hope for DR3 the game its an actual new Villain thats learned about what Junko did and is continuing her work.

Ah yeah I didn't mean for this series in particular just in general. I'm waiting till more is out since I after the first episode I decided I wanted to wait till mostly done before I really start

Under The Dog is out, pretty good - a few scenes with bad animation though ( notable black army captain lol ).

I feel like taboo tattoo took a dive right off a cliff in terms of both plot coherence and animation/fight quality in the past couple of episodes. How did we go from that awesome ep1 fight that got posted here to series' of still frames chopped together haphazardly with one-eyed cats thrown in?

I think someone mentioned earlier they better animators for the first episode

Fairly common problem with a lot of bad and mediocre shows. Drop tons of money into the first episode to get people to watch it and then pinch pennies for the rest of the series.

[Kang]

Yeah Taboo Tattoo really took a nosedive in the second half of this past episode.

[BerenTebogo]

Time Travel Shoujo is the way and the truth and the light.

Definitely AOTS (re zero is continuation of last imo).

[Tymon]

I'm not sure man, Alderamin on the Sky is a really fantastic adaption.

[BerenTebogo]

I'll check it out but honestly, this shit is amazing. Especially the aftercredit scenes.

[Greatguardian]

Aldermin feels a little like a poor man's imitation of LoGH but without the Wagner or, like, anyone besides Yang Wen Li. Kinda interested to see where it goes though.

[Vaspinne]

I haven't watched either of those shows. I will now go do so.
