It was cool and all... but I felt a bit lost when they stared talking about Subaru not loving himself. He has simple problem: save people in mansion and in village. How did that turn into him having some breakdown an feeling unloved?
Same with the lizard liking him scene after he woke up. Cmon, he knows Rem loves him, Otto likes him, he can suspect Emilia cares for him.
He finally stared using RBD as powerful tool it is, and now, in imo forced way, they try to limit it?
Still good episde, but Im not sure I like this direction.


in fact not only is it a good direction but it makes perfect sense, subaru is a person who values ​​other people's lives very much but does not value his own life so much and that reset is no longer a problem for him and now he uses it as a solution which somewhat degrades he should not seek his own death to solve his problems

The first half has been completed. It's been quite a ride to be honest. This episode told me that the Witches are all quite fascinating. Echidna in particular, but also the likes of Minerva and Satella. They may be twisted and portrayed as "Monsters", but honestly are they really all that bad?

As for the season. Finally some Satella and I love how she was introduced. She was really made out to be "that evil witch, which should not be named" in the first season, but I am glad that I was able to see her this season. Echidna really stole this show though. Her popularity skyrocketed insanely quick.

Eventho this season lacks a lot of Rem, it was still great and I find it so hard to rate this season. I loved it but honestly, I feel like it served more as a build up to what's to come in January. I think a 9/10 is so deserved. But if this would have been a 2 cour show without the 3 months break, easy 10/10... so who knows I might change it after the second part has come out!

Very good first part of S2, although tbh i usually dislike seasons of anything when they stay in one place and it felt like that for this, but overall it kept me coming back asap for every episode, it earns a Great 8/10 from me.

Btw i'm waiting for Subaru to get some actuall skills in this world, maybe that way he wouldn't need to die as much? after what happened with the Witches and Satella's advice, i'm hoping that's coming up.

Yeah, I realized NOW after reading the forum posts... I was spoiled damn.
I was spoiled when one of my friends pointed out what I've said EXACTLY when Satella asked Subaru to kill her in the future. At that point, I thought it wasn't a spoiler, but a revelation in the middle of the ep. Welp, thanks for tagging me, I'm putting it in a spoiler tag now.

I fucking knew that evil piece of shit had to be the one who hired the assassins at the mansion! They knew too much insider info about the place for it to be anyone other than Roswaal or Ram. God, I hate him so much; he is literally the source of all Subaru's pain and suffering.

Otto has just wormed his way into my heart and that end made my love for him grow. He's been such a great friend to Subaru, always there when he needs him. I have a feeling that there's more to Otto than we know so far... but I could be wrong.

Can't believe this is only the end of Part 1... Part 2 is gonna blow my mind haha

the Satella segment... so much hypocrisy coming from Subaru of all people!

"it's not like anyone cares what happens to a loser like me, right"

I mean wow Subaru. nobody cares? then who is Rem? and what about those possible outliers like Wilhelm of all people treating your suicide as if its his personal failure?

Satella is completely right. he should treasure himself more. this self-reflection episode is 10/10 already for me and it's only 3 minutes.

I really don't understand why everyone seems to have loved this season. When over the course of 13 episodes pretty much nothing of note has happened. Season started with everyone trapped in the sanctuary. 13 episodes later here we are still trapped in the fucking sanctuary, the only difference being maybe Subaru is a little less of a whiny bitch? Which if the past 13 episodes are anything to judge by, will be forgotten again in another episode or two.

For fucks sake his respawn point pretty much hasn't even changed over the course of these 13 episodes, and he hasn't made any significant progress towards a resolution of gettting them out, or saving the people at the mansion.

Literally the only thing that has happened all season is maybe a little bit of "growth" on subaru's part, and confirmation that roswaal is actually the dickbag that most people could tell he was the moment his character was introduced.

The whole season coulda been condensed to like 2 episodes and we wouldn't have lost anything for it. If not for being horribly content starved due to corona this would have been dropped after like 2 episodes, and I think that is the only reason it is scoring as high as it has.

Otto is the GOAT. I feel like Natsuki's character is written really well and much like a human. As if a normal person can turn his life around in 10 minutes there will always be obstacles but I think Natsuki will finally realize that he doesn't have to overcome them on his own anymore :')

I don't think it's super psychological, though you've probably seen enough of his miserable face many times so far. Therefore I really don't want to see his pathetic face and logic again.
I agree just because the mc dies in a violent manner doesnt make it psychological
its still a good show for me tho :)

just a personal letter to any RL Subaru's here.

you say you are looking for the best possible future. but what is that future without YOU in it? yes you, the RL Subaru reading this rn.

again, 100% agree with Satella. YOU should treasure yourself more. for what profit is a man when he claims the whole world but lose his own soul (life)? or what any thing will be worth trading for your soul (life)?

probably just some magic shenanigans. to be fair Roswaal is still a mystery all around so that should be explained in later chapters.

Well, unfortunately the chose to do a split cour instead of just putting the whole thing off for a few more months. So, for this cour, a 7/10. Too many questions asked, not enough answers given, return by death was annoyingly inconsistent.

This is the first anime that I have ever turned the sound off on several episodes. MC is still just whining to the point of infinity. I don't care for the constant Dead/Alive/Dead plot device to reset the programs inability to move along. Roswaal could have just named Subaru a different name like "Sue" as in Johnny Cash's song titled "A Boy Named Sue". The point of the song is to give a female name to a male person so he grows up tough. It could have saved me 10 episodes at least in resets and whining. The "love yourself" bit was also so contrived as to be nauseating. Why not toss in "Love the One You're With" and really go overboard in fortune cookie psychology? Sorry.....not going to be around in January for Part Two. 5/10 on this one and glad to get out of town.

This season made the characters even far more interesting. Think that was the main selling point of it. Lots of set up for the continuation as well. It was neat and less draggy like the first season I have no complaints enjoyed most of it.

Otto best boy 2020

Great finale to a much stronger season than the first one. I feel like the arc was a bit convoluted but I loved the Sanctuary setting and Subaru having to reset in order to help everyone. Being told that he needs to love himself and not just die for others- trying to preserve his own life, that is, was an important lesson for him. Satella is a very interesting witch so far, I hope the mystery as to how she knows Subaru, how they met and what happened to develop feelings for him will be explained soon but I doubt it.

Roswaal is batshit as expected, the dude was shady from day 1. So orchestrating the assassins' massacre at the mansion is no surprise, although his reasons are almost as insane as the act itself.

Kinda hope there will be more Emilia in the 2nd cour, I mean I was told that there are many scenes with her in this arc but she's been pretty much absent. I've heard many scenes of hers have been cut, and it sucks.

Otto being the MVP of this season. We really need a friend like him even in reality.

Anyway, that's one heck of a top-tier plot twist by Roswaal. He does just that in order to strengthen Subaru's resolve? He really is insane.

This season was a big up from the first one. But it is still not enough. That cliffhanger puts me rooting for more support, especially for Otto.

First season was considerably better. This current score is overrated, there is barely anything psychological about this series, all that there is drama and a lot of hysteric screaming.

These 13 episodes summarized give a picture of the director painting their hand with finger smileys which then proceed to have several long and painstaking conversations about the "wrist" whilst there is someone wailing in the background but is completely ignored by everyone. In the finale, its revealed that one of the smileys is a thumb. The end... What about the wrist you ask? Well, that was never the point.

I am so baffled by the first half of this episode.

Like, why are we spending 15 minutes trying to remind Subaru that people care about him? We even had "Rem" reiterating everything she said back in the previous season. Otto's even joined the fanclub, and what do you mean you didn't know your noble dragon steed likes you? Wtf? This felt like character backtracking, not development.

Also, it just strikes me as off that Satella is suddenly sane and having a normal conversation with Subaru. She seemed mad bonkers in her debut episode.

Anyways, called it that the clown man was the one hiring the assassins. Never ever trust clowns.
