If I'm planning on watching ReZero should I be watching the directors cut? That seems to be season 1 but I dunno. Using Crunchyroll.

Yes, watch the Director's Cut, it adds a bit to the run time, touches up some animation and adds some content that was cut IIRC.

I feel like it's partially an acknowledgement that nothing good comes from trying to use them for blatant self empowerment. From Frieza its actually interesting because it implies character growth or gained humility, and from Bulma I just assume she has enough experience from past adventures to know better.

I actually really like how Super shows Freeza develop from his old, fundamentally lazy Space Napoleitler who just wanted to keep winning forever to someone who actually appreciates the challenge of combat, even if he still hates actually getting hit - and he's still an evil bastard, obviously.

the director's cut is 99% the same. it's mostly very minor stuff, like scene transitions being replaced with more natural cuts, and a bit more gore in some of the violent scenes. and a few other things, like conversations having more natural/dramatic pauses in them or the timing of lines being changed. the most significant longterm change is julius having his character design tweaked to have a slightly more angular face and smaller eyes, presumably to have him look a bit more like subaru and play up the contrast between them.



The director's cut also contains most of the tweaks the blu-rays had, like touched up animation in some spots.

There's also a four minute scene added to the end of the last episode to flow more naturally into S2. This is the only thing you could really call new animation or a new scene.

So the director's cut is probably a better viewing experience overall, but it's a very minor change so if the way two episodes are stitched together in it make it more annoying to watch for you, feel free to stick with the original and only watch the last 4 minutes of the last episode of it.

recently went and finally watched Akagi (I knew nothing about akagi other than it's a gambling/mahjong ?seinen?) at my partners prodding and after finishing it I was maybe the most dumbfounded I've ever been watching the end of a show. Like, how the gently caress could they end it like that or at least not finish it in a second season.

Then I went on a road of discovery. Turned out that the one night in Washizu took 20 years.

this absolutely blew my loving mind.

You could have consumed Just Akagi Playing mahjong with Washizu arc of Akagi every month from the moment you were loving born till you loving graduated college and it would have still maybe not ended.

It's bonkers, although the dude has some other mahjong manga's stuff too in the same universe. The show got me into mahjong!

It was so weird how people built up "they can't make a season 2 of Re:Zero because they skipped these very important 4 minutes added to the end of the Director's Cut!" and then Season 2 opens with it anyway as well.

Anyway I think Re:Zero is far from perfect but it does feel like an attempt at making a fantasy adventure story that is way more than the sum of its parts with an honest attempt at worldbuilding and lore that does feel like it separates from its contemporary competition. When it is in its stride there aren't too many shows I look forward to more week-to-week.

for context, the mahjong match started in 1997 and ended in 2017. naruto and bleach started and ended in that timeframe.
