Feels very OVA-ish with a slice-of-life tone. There was never a dull moment and I think it's a great movie. And maybe I won't have forgotten about Memory Snow by then. The second season is something I am quite interested in watching- more than I ever thought I'd be, three years ago. It swung hard, missing more than it should have, but there was enough value in there to warrant a recommendation. Re:Zero, for as many issues as it had, was at least ambitious and entertaining. If not, well, Memory Snow is not something you should spend an hour of your life enduring. Emilia, Rem and Ram get drunk and clingy towards Subaru, and fans can take great joy imagining themselves in Subaru's shoes. Memory Snow, in between its painful attempts at comedy, exists mostly to appease fans of the heroines. Oh, and Rem and Emilia are apparently everybody's waifu, or something.

It is painfully clear that the people working on the series are there because they want to tell a serious story, and the comedy and light novel tropes are manufactured merely to be more palatable to an audience who don't know anything else. Overreacting, retorting with a stupid voice- all focused on the characters delivering the comedy, without there actually being any comedy.

It's as if someone who has not ever told a joke in their life read a 'how to slapstick' manual and thought it okay to just emulate the same two examples ad infinitum. Japan, speaking generally, is a pretty straight-faced country that does not really understand a whole lot about humour, and while light novel adaptations have always been especially culpable, boy, oh boy, does Re:Zero's jokes feel forced. Oh my god, Subaru is speaking in (bad) English at the beginning instead of in Japanese? Absolutely H-Y-S-T-E-R-I-C-A-L! (LOL) A guy is making passes at Subaru and pretending to be gay? Gold. I cannot imagine a scenario where anyone, even the most zealous and devoted fans of the series, are laughing at one of Memory Snow's gags. Let me get one thing out of the way: Re:Zero's 'comedy' is not funny. So, I guess, when you take all of that out- y'know, everything that made the series interesting- and have it all smiles and sunshine instead, you're left with this.

Re:Zero's portrayal of trauma is likely what stuck with me the most, as only a few other anime (Steins Gate, to name a prominent one) have dealt with that sort of subject matter in a meaningful way. Though I was immensely critical at the time, there was something about the series that prevailed, that made it hard for me I've had a lot of time to think and chat about the series in the three years since I wrote my original Re:Zero review. Nay, instead we have slice-of-life and comedy, because that's what everyone likes Re:Zero for, right? Those expecting the series' trademark gore, or any character development or backstory will find themselves considerably disappointed by Subaru and co.'s snow frolicking adventures. There's your one-hour Memory Snow experience condensed into a few seconds.
