I’ve recently realized that it’s been 10 years since I started reading (and collecting) Re: ZERO. It’s still a great series, I’m genuinely surprised how I’m still interested in the story and it never feels boring.
In this volume we’re still in the Volakia arc (please do not ask me what arc number is that I am lost) and while I am hoping that it’ll come to an end soon (as I want to explore another region, possibly Kararagi since it seems that way is gonna be where Subaru and the gang goes next) I am enjoying the battles.
There’s still a lot of characters, lots of new friendships and companionships, I’m glad to see some of the old faces, happy to meet the new ones. Halibel is probably one of my favorite new chars - he’s just great and I hope to see more of him in the upcoming volumes. The only person I need to see gone is Vincent lol I cannot stand this guy most of the time. I am also happy with how the Louis arc is going - although a part of me shares Otto’s view on that matter.
Sets about utterly demolishing the integrity of the singularly (and now apparently accidentally) inspired Arc 7 Phase 4 Subaru-Louis dynamic before lapsing once again into utter tedium. I want to see what’s going on with Arc 10 real bad but to get there I need to stomach 3 more volumes of this shite; can only hope that the 5 volumes of Arc 9 after that will go down easy at least
