>>3958436The interesting part is, the hatred toward her in the fanbase is what actually led to me falling in love with her kinda. When I first watched RZ in 2019, I didn't spend much attention on her. So the only thing I took away when first watching it was an interest in the concept as well as a dislike for the MC. At the start of 2020, I came across a Re: Zero thread on /a/, which had people hating on her for reasons I couldn't really comprehend. I then decided to rewatch it and spend more attention on her as a character. That's when I started getting more and more interested in her, especially after watching the OVAs, and then started reading the web novel. At first I was confused by my feelings.. But at the same time she started appearing in my imagination and daydreams more and more often, until I accepted that I was in love with her. And the feeling only got stronger. I love her so much.
Regarding what made me fall in love with her, it's so many things. Her kind-heartedness, how she only wants the best for others despite everything she experienced in her past. How she stands in for the things she believes in, and how she approaches things in general. How caring she is... and how seeing her smile makes me so incredibly happy. Also how elegant she acts, while still being an adorable dork at times. I feel to an extent it's also how she compares to me as a person, given that we have a lot in common, but at the same time also have the big difference of my approach to problems often being solely based on trying to think rationally, while her approach is often on the more emotional end, with both of us taking our approach to an extreme at times, so being together we create a nice balance in that. Also, her beauty of course.
I still don't really understand why so many people hate her, but I suppose it comes down to people favoring other characters and the stupid "Waifu War" shit that came from that.
Sorry for the paragraph, but I get easily lost talking about her.
