Roight, guess I finally started this classic isekai series!
Time to see what all the Rem and Ram is all about in these 25 episodes of the debut season from 2016... longer seasons like in the older days, though I'm from the generation where a season was 50ish episodes.
Subaru, on his way home from a convenience store, suddenly finds himself transported to a medieval marketplace. Attacked by hoodlums, he is saved by a silver-haired girl. But when he is killed later by trying to help her, he finds himself right back at the point of his arrival in the city...
As events repeat, but he now has forewarning, he slowly advances and figures out what is happening to him, and how he resets every time he dies. They are attacked again, but now manage to survive and drive off the murderer. He wakes up in a large mansion, brought there by the silver haired girl, Emilia, and taken care by the twins Rem and Ram. He is introduced to the other occupants of the mansion, and learns Emilia qualifies to become the next monarch. But he is forced through a cycle of deaths again as he goes on a date with Emilia, and learns he is violently killed in the aftermath every time, inside the mansion.
While investigating, he finds out his assailant is actually Rem, who captures and tortures him, as he has the smell of the Witch over him. During this process of saving them both and breaking the cycle, he also learns a bit of magic, yet struggles to really control it usefully. Together with the twins he must face a horde of Mabeasts, controlled by a demon puppy to lift a series of curses bestowed onto him, and learns the tragic origins of the twins.
The royal election is about to take place, and Felt, the girl he looked for when he originally arrived, is send forward as one of the candidates. But after an injury, and unable to tell Emilia off his powers, their friendship comes to an unfortunate end due to a misunderstanding. He runs into a group of darkrobed humans, and returning to the mansion after finding everyone dead, he is frozen to dead himself, resetting once again. This group is led by the insane Archbishop of Sloth, and after barely escaping is killed by a monstrous Puck, the familiar of Emilia.
Knowing the cult is about to attack, they decide to evacuate the mansion, but on the way must face the huge White Whale, a flying monster that they defeat thanks to rallying everyone under one goal as he vows to become a hero, and the timeline switches as a result. He faces the archbischop now knowing full well what is at stake, and with the help of the others he defeats him once and for all.
So yeah, this is a fun isekai series, though perhaps not entirely my thing and liking. I'll get round to the future seasons for sure, but that isn't the main goal to be honest at the moment, but it wasn't bad or something. Just, well, enjoyable without anything more...
