As I mentioned in my previous message, rent-a-girlfriend isn't really my regular sort of show but I enjoyed it regardless. Mizuhara is life 😅

As for Re:zero I watched the first episode of S2 and got confused because I misremembered the order things happened in S1 so I decided to rewatch it. I'm glad I did as I think I appreciated Subaru's progression throughout the season much more the second time around and I had forgotten enough that it didn't feel repetitive watching it again.

I watched the directors cut, though to be perfectly honest, if you asked me to point out differences I couldn't tell you anything other than the fact that it's 13 1 hour long episodes instead of 20-something 20 minute episodes. That's actually one of the few things that bothered me about this version. It was all in my head but watching an hour long episode feels like much more of a commitment then watching 3 20 minute episodes, even if it is the same amount of content. Other than that, I rate it!
As for rent-a-girlfriend I honestly think they sold the MC short compared to the effort he puts in actually compared to the manga making him seem annoying when you watch only the anime. Just finished rewatching Re:zero myself since it's been a long time since it's finished. Gonna start on S2 as we speak.
