You seriously need to start JoJo. Seriously...

No offense, but from what I have read, you seems like the "Pretty colours over everything" type of viewer.

Ufotable made Tales of Zestiria? Who cares. They can't move out from the Type-Moon anime's shadow. They didn't do anything remarkable outside of those. Why? Because the source material for God Eater and Zestiria is mediocore at best. Pretty colours can't save that.

Re: Zero being anime of the year? It's way more overrated than Shingeki no Kyojin was when it's aired. Or better, way more overrated than Boku dake ga Inai Machi that had similar time travel - erasing mechanics. Funnily enough, KonoSuba, a parody of the "Summoned into a fantasy world" genre handled this type of genre the best so far this year. The protagonist has a clear goal, we saw how he got summonned and we also saw how he can learn skills. So what about these 3 points in Re: Zero? Almost nothing. Saving waifus left and right with torture porn, creating non-existent tension because of the return by dead power is cheap and lame. No consequences, no learning from mistakes, if the mistake can always and always prevented by convenient powers. No deconstruction of LN archetypes bullshit either. Subaru is not relatable, you can only feel pity about his horrendous encounters, but he also has to blame himself for his own lack of common sense in some events.

Fate/loli fanservice. The first season was okay, but didn't felt like continuing. And TBH, I'm not that interested in catching up. It surely not the best of bests.

So just because of the art issues, Orange is a weaker show in your eyes than Re:Zero? Read the manga version then.
