Short Review
Re:CREATOR is one of the if not the best anime concepts ever made, a story of stories colliding and characters that are too far even genre apart characters meet and interact with each other is almost a genre on its own.
Concept and characters already exceeding a 10/10 limit but this is also where the show's weakness shows (pun intended) the rest of the shows fundamentals are overshadowed causing not the best execution of connecting them like the pacing and the dialogue on power systems were basically useless because there were no power system but its also because making a power system in this concept is basically impossible causing the huge part of the anime pretty boring because this is FILLED with dialogue.
In conclusion I think this anime can absolutely stand as one of t…

What a let down. A very interesting concept and idea but its execution was mostly one thing; boring. The fight scene's are done pretty decently all the way through, and theres actually an interesting take on a recap episode. But overall the characters, and their relationships were about as interesting as watching paint dry. I think reading the entirety of rent a girlfriend is a better use of your time (i wouldn't wish that upon my worst enemy). It took me maybe 6 months to get through this 22 episode show due to the absolute dullness. The first 1/3 is entertaining, but after the exposure to this interesting idea wears off you're left with an incredibly mundane experience. Some people might enjoy it as a whole, I definitely did not and don't recommend it.

Re:creators used to be the highest rated and most hyped series of the season it aired in, after the obvious three 99% of viewers were watching (Attack on Titan s2, My Hero Academia s2, Dragon Ball Super). Gradually, the interest in the series kept dropping to the point more people were talking about garbage tier light novel adaptations (Akashic Records, Eromanga Sensei) which were nowhere near the catchy premise of Re:creators.
This is extra strange when said premise is basically Fate/Stay Night all over again. No, seriously, they are the exact same story.
A bunch of famous personalities, each one using superpowers, are brought into modern Japan, where they are having a battle royale, with the winner getting a reality warping wish. Most of the plot is short skirmishes, followed by ridicul…

Sometimes when different kinds of things get mixed together. A miracle can happen, forming a new thing that is greater than all of the mixed.
Cliches, negations, inadmissible. Those kinds of things. They often appear a lot inside anime series and movies. Because they are unavoidable. Nothing is perfect. Anime is simply just a form of representation for those kinds of things. Acting like a mirror that we, anime fans, see everyday and judge it’s imperfectionness despite the fact that we too are as imperfect as, or even more than the anime, the mirror itself.
Story ( 10/10 )
Re:Creators is such a mess. Yet it managed to appeal me up until the point where I shed tears and spent the fewer hours I have left of the day completing the show. The show was very realistic when it comes to handlin…

Re:Creators is a 2017 anime from Troyca, a studio I've never watched an anime from. Although this and Yagate Kimi ni Naru are going to change that. I don't know when I'll actually watch and review that one, but it's going to happen.
Story:
The premise of the series gets us off to a good start. Basically, every time a writer crafts a work of fiction, they create a world. Mine are full of rainbows and women doing the majority of important things, clearly. Things take a twist when certain, popular characters start crossing over into our world. Some of them want to watch the world burn, others want to make their creators suffer for giving them dark worlds full of tragedy. It's up to our main protagonist, Blandon, a bunch of heroic characters and the creators to save the day.
The biggest p…

I believe that it was near the halfway point of the show (about 10 or 11 episodes in) that I come to expect that this mediocre show would go into a downward spiral. At this point all the known pieces have been placed, and even though the characters weren’t well developed at least they had a speck of motivation going for them. However that wasn’t the case at all as there was still another dozen episodes to go through, and with each new episodes my tolerance of the show would continue to go down.
Re:C is a show about fictional characters being pulled into the real world, but these are no ordinary fictional characters but rather characters from the great mediums of nippon, namely anime, manga, light novels, and video games. All these characters brought into the real world by a girl named Alt…

Re:Creators
Story 3.5/5
- Interesting and original idea for a setting and great execution of it
- most of the workings of the world are explained throughout the story - At first set up to be a battle of two different mindsets with a wildcard in between
- there were not that many fight scenes, however those that were in the show are
well choreographed in their different stages and are set up properly
- Complete Episodes dedicated to exposition and setups
- The Exposition delivery could drag at times with a lot of it being delivered through
monologues and dialogues instead of actions
- Funny and interesting recap episode that was more than just retelling the story till
that point
- Through the huge cast of characters, characterization took more of the forfront
than storytelling…

My very first review: Let's get started.
A lot of people expected Re:Creators to be an action-heavy series only to be given a lot of dialogue throughout the show which is fair because that's what it looked like in the beginning. And although it played with the concept of being self-referential or meta, I think that what the show is trying to accomplish is to give a message about acceptance. Which is ironic with it's reception.
The main problem that I got from most reviews about the show is that it wasn't able to translate it's exposition effectively and while I can't blame them for this, I need to say that the dialogues were not useless as they describe it to be. It does have a lot of talking so if you don't like this aspect of the series then, I rest my case.
Now, reviewing this show…

woah this show is straight up retarded. i held out hope for so long because i just assumed that they wouldn't be able to completely squander their really cool premise.
everything about the show is super dry and straightforward, with constant, massive exposition dumps in lieu of creative storytelling. the characters (especially Meteora) are extremely bland and just sit there vomiting exposition dumps at each other the entire time, except for the few times when they try to be funny (and fail). they just plainly announce intentions, desires, and motivations with no sense of nuance as if they were just running down a checklist of plot points they needed to cover. it felt like i was screaming "NO HUMAN BEING ACTUALLY TALKS LIKE THIS" out loud multiple times per episode.

In the anime community, we have been blessed with so many animes but the genre and originality of its own, is not that suitable (though nobody even cares about it), then comes Re:Creators. Re:Creators follows a story of the ''Creations'' (made by the ''Creators'' a.k.a writers), going into their 'God's World' where they must fight what they believe in. Either oppose the ''Gods'' because of their stories, or accept the harsh reality of their timeline. Re:Creators uniqueness comes when the story rotates with the other main characters.
Its not only about the action, animations and good sound effects (as well as good openings), but the fact that all characters (not only the main ones), have a role to succeed in every scene. Whether its about an MC fighting a ''Creation'', or a MC planning and…

I believe I mentioned this before, but I find it consistently harder to write in praise of an anime than to bash it, to the point that the only manner in which I could be satisfied on doing so, would be to break down each episode while highlighting why I believe certain scenes or bits of dialogue are so great and important to the big picture. As you can imagine, the highest I value something, the harder it feels to explain, so let it be known right from the start: I do see Re:Creators in VERY high regard!
Story and Characters
To begin to understand why the show works so well, the first good hint would be the original writer, Rei Hiroe, who wrote the story that led to the anime. For those unfortunate enough to not know who Hiroe is, he’s the author of the Black Lagoon manga and the respon…

Fool me once, shame on you.
Fool me twice, shame on you too.
It was a mistake to have any hope for this series. Even after the impressive first episode, the director and the studio attached to this project was enough to raise some eyebrows. it's almost a curse of sorts, after Aldnoah Zero wasted the talents of the Fate/Zero director and writer (for the first few episodes anyway), Re:creators seems to follow the same formula. Only this time it's the writer for Black Lagoon. Surely by now Troyca would have learnt their lesson? Wouldn't they?
Join me, dear reader, as we examine what went wrong with the series. No spoilers. The anime is so forgettable I'm having a hard time recalling what happened the previous episode.

I describe a masterpiece as “a realization of an artistic vision that goes above and beyond what is possible for a normal anime. It implies a level of understanding, thought, and workmanship that stands above anything else in that genre. It is a piece of media that can evoke feelings and emotions within me unique only to it.”
Re:Creators fits that label perfectly. It would simply not be possible to tell this story in any other medium. Every aspect, from the theme, to the plot, to the characters, to the visuals, and even the music and vocals manage to perfectly distill what is unique and wonderful about the medium. Every action scene, every trope that either plays out or is subverted, every moment of tension, speaks of a of an artistic medium that’s truly starting to mature.

“We can’t introduce a new character this late into the story, the audience won’t accept an ending like that” ~ Character in Re:Creators two minutes after the show itself does exactly this for their climactic battle scene of the final ‘arc’ of the ‘story.’
I can’t recall any other time where the series I was watching is actively aware of what’s wrong with itself to a degree that they say not to do the terrible ideas they themselves are doing at the same time, as if this somehow justifies them. (it’s meta commentary on storytelling guys, it’s deep!)
This Modern Classic example of how not to write an original anime is brought to you by a staff who really should have been able to pull off an interesting, engaging series, yet it utterly fails on so many basic levels it feels like they either…

Re: Creators is an awful but in the same time a unique series in a sense that it directly tells the viewers the reasons for its existence: the fact that hundreds of thousands of people can spend their time on and, most importantly, breathlessly enjoy and pay money for an ugly badly-written constantly fourth-wall breaking horribly directed nobody-on-the-staff-list-ever-cared pissing-on-the-other-shows pack of completely unrelated action scenes.
When making an anime from some source material (manga/light novel), writers usually have trouble packing all the events in a video format. This is one of the reasons why so much shows are filled with exposition, scenes of characters thinking and other "better off reading it" elements. But for these types of shows, this is mostly forgivable. However,…

*Beware of massive spoilers*
Creativity is something to be cherished, at least when it's not used for malicious intent. Creativity is part of the soul of all good stories, and even the most generic, lifeless trite has at least something creative to call its own, for better or worse. Creators of fiction create their own worlds, characters, situations, etc., and exploring what would happen when their creations transcend fiction and leap into the realm of reality is, well, one of the most creative premises ever conceived in fiction, inevitable puns aside. However, premise draws is to a show, but execution is what keeps us away or coming back, happy, disappointed, excited, or enraged. Luckily, this show actually knows what it's talking about, giving a real reason to stay invested every time i…

Anime community has been berated for many years now. I've seen it, you've seen it, everyone's seen it. I think it's safe to say that, while certain individuals are to blame as well, the major fault lays in the thing that we're gathered around. Anime isn't particularly subtle about its tropes or its origin. Stuff that's acceptable in Japan is often times seen as weird, unnaturally obscure or even morally wrong in other parts of the world.
What I always believed was the major issue however, was the way anime itself has been presenting its fans over the past couple of years. How many characters that that are anime fans were shown in a clearly positive and acceptable way in the last couple of years? Most of them are hikkikomoris, shut-ins, socially awkward or straight up mad people. While I kn…

Re:Creators the definition of CREATIVITY! Everything about this anime is unique and special especially the recap episode. From mecha to magic girl, any types of the character that you could ask for will be appear in this anime.
PLEASE DO NOT SKIP THE RECAP EPISODE!
Story: 10/10
Just when "Isekai" trend is everywhere, this anime use the concept of reverse Isekai where the character from the fantasy world coming out to join the real world instead of the protagonist blend into some parallel world.
Art: 9/10
The animation is not the best but is good enough in the year of 2017. Nothing outstanding but you will realize that the working team is giving out their all into the art after you watched the recap episode.
Sound: 10/10 - STRONGLY RECOMMEND!!!

I’m certain that at some point, you’ve envisioned getting transported into one of your favorite works of fiction so that you could interact with and fight alongside your favorite characters. However, in all honestly, we would most likely fail spectacularly in many of these vivid yet grueling worlds due to our lack of special abilities and general mediocrity when compared to fictional characters. But now I want you to picture the better and more convenient alternative; the characters that you’ve dreamed of meeting get teleported to OUR world. This sums up the general premise of Re:Creators, thus instigating a tale of the interactions between creators and their creations.
Here’s a basic overview of the anime. Re:Creators is a classic “save the world from destruction” kind of show in that it…

Oh boy, Re:Creators. It’s a modern example of how a show that could have been a big hit of the year that ultimately translated into a messy series that self-destructed. It’s not just a flop but serves as a metaphor for how original series struggles to keep ideas effective. Don’t get me wrong. The series’ premise about story worlds clashing with sci-fi and fantasy elements sounds very intriguing. Yet somehow, it found many ways to ultimately make this look like an attempt at easy crash grab for the unexpected.
At first glance, this series sounds really interesting. As an original anime, the creators seems to have decided to take a risk and mix many genres together. Fantasy, sci-fi, magic, isekai, and even mecha are just a few among these. However, what really caught my attention for this s…
