| Heh. Here i was hoping that subarus next checkpoint would trigger after his confession for emilia considering how genuine it was. Now i find myself a bit angry at the fact that the checkpoint happens just barely after the events of Rem and Crusch, making their fate irreversible All for the sake of plot i guess Im just happy that rezero is back. Good luck subaru |
Happy Halloween  |
| Well, I wasn't a fan of the first season, but still, it was a good episode, though the pacing bothered me. Still don't like the dialogue much and the overly dramatic scenes. But Crusch was my favorite character last season so seeing her arm ripped off and then losing her memories did make me sad. Hopefully, I'll enjoy this season more. |
  I want to know what it is, this 'sin' they say I've committed. |
| If you read the "What if" chapter called "Natsuki Rem" by the original author (I personally read the manga about it), those 6 photograms around 10:39 of the episode will be 100x more devastating. |
| That'S RIGHT Rem fanboys/girls! MOVE ASIDE because it is Emilia time to shine now!! Especially a sweet, adorable loli ;) This is what I have been waiting for, for so long! So much HYPE, I just hope they don't plan to finish all of Arc 4 in 13 episodes because boy...we have a lot to go |
| "You can't spell slaughter without laughter". |
| boi, I thought they kill rem on 1st episode. phew glad I was wrong |
 |
| Season 2 is here! After an extra three months of waiting it's here! Those two new archbishops, Gluttony and Greed, look pretty cool and are probably a lot stronger than Petelgeuse was. So...that sucks that Rem is just kinda "gone" until who knows when. Kinda teared up during the scenes with Rem, and Subaru asking Emilia to turn around so he could cry didn't exactly help with that. So now with Rem bedridden, hopefully Ram will get some time under the spotlight. Pretty good episode, really looking forward to the next one. |
 |
| Pretty seamless transition from one season to the next. If it ain't broke, don't fix it. |

rakp333 said: ahh thats right. I remember a good portion of season 1 but that detail definitely slipped past me. Feel like i should revisit some of season 1. PDot19 said: Now i find myself a bit angry at the fact that the checkpoint happens just barely after the events of Rem and Crusch, making their fate irreversible It was not "just after". That whole thing with Rem and Crusch happened while Subaru's party where fighting against Petelgeuse and evacuating the villagers. Even if Subaru had reset back to his old save-point (after defeating the whale) he couldn't have saved them because Crusch gang had already left after the whale battle. (Remember the "blank Letter" Emilia&Ram had received in episode 23? That letter was written by Rem, but Rem got erased so the letter went blank). So by that time Rem and Crusch were already done. Either way, the plot thickens |
Happy Halloween |
| And so the suffering begins once again. It's weird how this first episode simultaneously felt like it was jumping straight back into the action, while also feeling as if it was taking a more patient approach than season 1. A lot of time was given to comprehend everything that happened, while also showing that Crusch's conviction and strength of character has remained despite the loss of her memories. Meeting two Sin Archbishops at once is interesting - though it does make sense that Greed and Gluttony would be operating together, given that they're relatively similar - and immediately sets a tough challenge for Subaru to overcome. At the very least, it's good that he can't Return by Death to before the attack, as that would be far too easy and convenient, ultimately undercutting their very existence in the show. That being said, it's much more difficult to see how Subaru wins this fight, especially given that Greed is very clearly sane unlike both Sloth and Gluttony. Only strange thing is no one questioning why Subaru still knows about Rem after she's been "consumed" by Gluttony, but I suppose he gets a free pass after everything he did in Arc 3. I also did not notice the "what if" scenes in Rem's final memories, but they really add a weight of tragedy to her "demise". A strong start for sure. |
| I usually don't watch ongoing shows.. It was like 2 years since I watched ongoing show.. I prefer to watch anime in my own pace, not once per week.. But I'll probably be heavily spoiled about this anime, so will watch it weekly.. Well, here goes this experience, however it'll be.. ;P I'm excited for this show.. Liked first season a lot.. Return after death, time travel, and topics like that - can be truly fascinating to me personally.. Especially if it changes person.. That's what I hope to see more in the upcoming season.. Well, now to the episode.. Oh, I like how Emilia acknowledges that Subaru wants to say something really important, and tells him to take his time.. I really like support from Emilia in this moment.. "Who is Rem?" !!!!! Man!!!! ;D I'm excited about this!!! Or are they just trolling us viewers?.. ;D I don't understand for now, will see.. Crusch isn't good at smiling and regrets even now about this, she says?.. Did she fail at smile sometime in the past in something major, or something?.. I wonder.. I'm not too excited about those two villains, though.. I get that persons from Witch cult are psychopaths.. But.. They could get some variety in personalities or something, you know?.. For now they just feel like sadists mostly, and that's it.. But that's how it personally feels to me.. That guy might be something more, but for now he's still hur dur, kill all.. Though, now that I think about it.. Villains overall in Re:Zero are mostly like that, really.. So maybe it's pointless to expect something show isn't really centering around.. Rem presenting herself as if Subaru's champion, you can say?.. Well, that's a nice thing.. ;p Was that Rem with Subaru's baby at 10:39?.. Damn, that Felis' cry at 11:07.. That's soul crushing.. Felis really actually cares about Crusch?.. Damn, that "who is Rem" gives me chills again.. ;P I like how considerate and supportive is Felis in talk with not remembering Crusch.. He's still trying his best to support her emotionally as well, even if maybe it's hard for him.. Or I think so.. On the other hand, he's being dickish to Emilia.. ;D But Crusch actually points this to him, huh.. Lots of Felis suffering this episode.. Yeah, he truly cares for her, and just wishes for her to get out of this situation.. But she has to regain her memories.. It's nice that Emilia shows willingness to understand Subaru's feelings towards Rem.. Even if she doesn't remember her.. And to work things out together.. I hope they'll support each other more, really.. Damn, Subaru's eyes regaining light at 26:54.. As if regaining hope or something.. It's hard to move alone with his problems.. "Each one's promise" is a nice name for this episode.. Everyone as if making resolutions for themselves, what they want to do next.. It is important for everyone - Subaru, Emilia, Crusch, Felis.. Overall, nice episode.. Had some moments I liked, which I wrote above.. Will wait for more, and hopefully it'll be an enjoyable season.. Now I'll maybe just rewatch Emilia's hug support to Subaru or something, while holding my tears, lol.. ;P |
| I just had to whatch subaru suffer for another episode , it gived me steins gate flachbacks , Poor Rem tho. |
| That suicide power still looks painful as ever. |
| Fuckup save point. It's finally back! and 25 EPISODES <3 |
 |
| Good thing Rem is gone from the scene for a while. Emillia can finally shine now. |
this first ep was rlly good,, i’m excited for this season!  |
 |
| After 2 seasons of Isekai Quartet, it's so good to see them in their regular sizes again!! Great to have you back Re:Zero! They legit waste no time getting into things, I guess that's what happens when a Directors' cut aired before season 2! Luckily, eventho I didn't watch it, I remembered it pretty damn well. Wellp, the one thing I got spoiled about for future seasons actually already happened in the first episode! Poor Rem, her name and memories got eaten by Gluttony! This is pretty sad, not much Rem this season it seems! That was quite brutal though, those Sin Archbishops look pretty OP, especially the archbishop of Greed. On the bright side, eventho Subaru didn't manage to save Rem from getting her name/memories eaten, he did manage to save Crusch's life! Unfortunately she has also lost her Memories :( Let the suffering begin!! |
 |
| AMAZING episode, I could feel all the emotions, all the worries.. all the delegations that go with a alliance. The struggles of fighting and fighting and fucking fighting to just get things right... Only a fucking shut in with no real problems won't feel the emotions. Excellent episode and the comfort Emilia gave was just so pure. Loved it almost shed a tear but ye i'm no beta. |
 Behold of my awesomeness~ controversial and/or sensitive topics likely devolve into the same repetitive, derogatory, abusive, and harassing comments can no longer be posted. But my feels. |
| heh episode 1 and Blood is already spilled as expected of Rem: Zero also "Who is Rem" ah shit, here we go again... |
| just because I’ve gotten weaker, doesn’t mean that you got stronger, does it? |
| Let the suffering continue! glad it is back...and some other series as well lolz 5/5. Nefelupitou said: Yes, my friends. It really hurts me, but I must say it: RE:ZERO IS THE BEST ANIME OF HISTORY w0w you really put this as high regard huh... |

| Well that was boring. The animation was very lackluster, and the voice acting was so annoying. Did Re:zero always have this shounen of voice acting? I can't wait for mal to overrate this just like what they did with the first season. |

AnonymousGuy9 said: Finally! Too bad it's a normal length episode. Well at least it's not getting delayed This episode marks the downfall of Rem's screen time. We won't be able to see her again this season Edit: Just saw an Easter egg here Feels bad man EXCUSE ME??!! No more Rem for the rest of the season?? 😭 |
| As someone who hasn't read the manga that was quite the shock. The background music fit this episode so well that it gave me goosebumps. If the rest of the season can maintain the standard set forth in this episode I will be thrilled. |
   |
| The artstyle and animation is bad than the prequel the low budget fight with stills and reused animation is disappointing. The whiplash of comedy and drama is bad. Subaru is the same nothing change, Emilia too. Rem meme is real lmao. The amount of emotional scene is the good thing, but Subaru is a cringy edgelord. I think overall 1st episode is fine, nothing special happens. Ps. The two antagonists are cliche and cheesy and they are funny, I think the two are getting the screen time this cour being the foe to Subaru to beat. To the next episode |
 |
| Eh that was a okayish ep. It was more of a set up for what is to come rather than a good full-fledged episode. I'm totally fine with that as long as it gets better progressively throughout the season. |
| Ah I see we meet again pain and suffering, we've missed you so much |

I'm not a huge fan of archbishop of gluttony's character design, and I can see how they might seem cheesy, but how the hell are they already cliche? It's been one episode and they've had <5 minutes of screen time. |

I was hoping that this season the antagonists would be more intimidating, or at least visually more "scary" (not sure if that's exactly the right word). Betelgeuse was a pretty decent villain, but due only to his writing, and not his character design at all. I'm just hoping that the two villains won't be used for comedic purposes. |
Saku_k said: SoraSenpai said: I mean I feel like she clearly died in the first part. Rem closes her eyes on the battlefield and Felix is crying his eyes out when he sees her. He wouldn't be crying that much if he could easily reattach her arm. I don't wanna be that guy, but Felix reattached Crusch's arm. It is said in the light novels, but anime adaptations don't exactly explain everything or include every line of dialogue else they would go on forever. Ahh Okay. Well there goes my theory haha. |

MSK3 said: i think the villains main purpose its to be fodder by Subaru but not his power, but others like happen to Sloth(Romanee Conti). So its nothing like other isekai. Just keep watching its getting better just ignore Subaru.chriskor022 said: i read the WN so I know and the leader is the visual. Fuck.

| Oh they got me with that "IF Rem" memory scene, I'm really hoping for an OVA of that. Aside from some point of lacking animation for being first episode, they still delivered well with the voice acting and the audio effects. Next episode probably will start what this arc will be about. |

The antagonist of this season is not them Ah okay, I guess they just make an appearance like Elsa did in the very first episode. Hopefully it's echidna, she seemed like a rather interesting character from the PVs that have been put out. |
| This was a fine start I guess. I'm not feeling Gluttony's and Greed's characters. Such a huge letdown from what I heard that the other archbishops are as good and interesting as Betelgeuse. |
| First off, the episode was really good, with how they started off with some dejavu with season 1 of them forgetting Rem. I really hate how when we returned to death his checkpoint, was on the carriage meaning he couldn't really save Rem. Overall, the ending gave me hope, as they were alive and well, and how they Crusch's crew and Emilias crew are keeping the alliance, to get revenge on the other archbishops gluttony, and greed. Cannot wait for episode 2 |
 |
| Episode 1 pretty solid. Nice that they fixed Petelgeuse's name this time around but they forgot to fix Pack's name ( http://re-zero-anime.jp/tv/character/) Kinda annoyed they listed it as 26 instead of 1. Makes more sense to restart the count on a new season. Biggest issue for me was how "cartoony" the new villains were. Very cringe. Was the last season like that? Been so long I don't remember lol. |

On one hand, they do look like less interesting characters than Betelgeuse, but on the other hand, they have had very little screen time so far. Hopefully they'll develop to be interesting characters. |
