| White Fox is doing a a amazing job.....another 30 minute episode filled with suspense. |
| Pretty sad episode. Hard to watch all that torturing. T_T |
 |
| They barely have time to show what they want and people are asking for OP and ED? I love Re:Zero's op and ed, but I would rather have 3 minutes of story than 3 minuted of music. About the episode: Wasn't the trial supposed to be the challenger's memories? How could Emilia know something that she never saw? If I'm not mistaken, Garf couldn't listen to his mother's voice, because he was too young to remember(light novel) Not that I care about it, just find funny, reminded me of Morty's Mind Blowing |

| Lots of things happened in this episode, and first of all we atleast had a teaser of Ryuzu's past with Beatrice and the then-alive Echidna. We also got a younger Roswaal...damn he's such a bishounen. Anyways, the painful sacrifice that Geuse made just to cover for Fortuna and Emilia's escape. We also got to see the debut anime appearance of Pandora, the Witch of Vainglory as she is accompanied by Regulus. Things happened, Emilia got away as Fortuna bids her farewell. We also got to see a glimpse of one of the characters I am really anticipating, the Black Serpent. And just like that, Arch is dead by a single venom, that Serpent is OP. Now we got the confrontation between Fortuna/Geuse and Pandora. Let me tell you the highlight moment out of highlight moments...Pandora. After Regulus threw a fit on her (geez that's a gritty thing to see), Pandora just threw a BIG (F U) reverse card on him and stepped on him as he is sunk to the ground. Here's the thing, when Pandora commands that Regulus stays at his mansion and claims that he was never there, we see Regulus still talking. AND JUST A BLINK OF THE SCREEN, REGULUS IS GONE...JUST LIKE THAT. I have goosebumps, freaking goosebumps watching that scene happened. That has to be the most shocking goosebump I had since the Aishiteru from Satella. While that is happening, Emilia has a very brilliant scene as she is stopped walking (while the beautiful ED plays). And once she got out of the forest, Pandora was just waiting for her in that Seal. Holy moly, and another 29 minute episode went by just like that...Re:Zero and White Fox, you monster, I'm FXKING LOVING THIS, HOLY SXIT! |

It's been like 5 eps already and how many times would we be able to see one? I'm starting to think they are a little bit incompetent with the pace of the story to put off their animation on OP and ED. Back to the topic. Looks like we have another witch to introduce, who's called witch of vanity, Pandora. And she looks like she has the power to rewrite the reality, basically making herself almost invincible and strong enough to even make Regulus disappear from the fight instantly and revive herself. How did a witch like her isn't called one of seven witches? And why is she looking for the seal and the key? Looks like she is going to be related to that Satella. The entire backstory of this Sanctuary Arc is getting more interesting than ever, and I'm still looking forward for the action of Subaru to save both Sanctuary and Mathers mansion. Only thing I am hoping for is the studio to make new OP and ED instead of skipping them. Disappointed? Are you crazy, this is the best thing this studio could do for these episodes, instead of cutting content or stretching it across another episode or 2. If I were you I would be glad... sad (I want the op real bad too) but glad. It's only good when they aren't cutting "good parts" and stretching "bad parts" of the story. And if they can't prepare time to put ops and eds for the episode just to fill out plot, that's the problem of the episode director's incompetency. Ops and Eds aren't just the problems of animation studios, but the artists who put effort to create the song that fits with the atomosphere of the anime. That's what I believe about anime adaptating, and it's also why I can't give good review with this season of Re zero. |

YES |
| Another 30 minute masterpiece of an episode. Fuck AoT, this is now seriously my favorite show this season. Can WF keep up this level of work? I seriously dont mind leaving the OP and ED for the blue-rays or the eventual DC edition. |

If you cut important parts for the "good" parts, those parts become not as good as they could be. Prepare? They most likely already have, but they do not want to interrupt the flow of these important episodes and maybe the opening will contain spoiler (maybe try judging it by your twisted logic only after it is released). Btw... ending song was present twice already. Who cares about the artist (his song will be there, when it does it will hit hard)... what about the creator? Tappei? They rather give more space to his art which is waaaaay more important than some opening. White Fox is doing the right thing and that is why people love them. I want to hear the op too, but if it is not the right time, I have fate in the studio that they will release it when the time is right. |

On a side note I didn’t expect that va for Pandora thought it surprisingly fits her well. They also changed pandora to the witch of vanity instead of vainglory. Don’t know if that change will be important in the future. It fits more in theme with the other witch titles like why its pride instead of hubris. I would guess that would be the reason. |

| 29 minutes again, The absolute madlads at White Fox deserve every ounce of praise they can get. They are putting everything they've got into Re:Zero. Fantastic episode again, intense but tragic on so many level. Hearing little Emilia cry her heart out, trying to take the blame for herself that she somehow caused everything and promising that she'll be good, she'll lock herself up is just so heart wrenching. Especially when Fortuna says her farewell with Emilia crying in her arms. It's so hard to watch that with a straight face. :( Now we finally know how Guese got his Sloth Witch Factor, but even with that and Fortuna's help, Regulus is somehow far more powerful. Just how strong is he? Reinhard territory? The witch of vanity, Pandora. Somehow whenever I hear the word Pandora, it never means good news. I thought Regulus seemed absurdly strong but Pandora is somehow capable of just rewriting the past? History? Just how strong is she. R.I.P Archi, he tried his best. :( The ending with Emilia thinking that if she gave them the seal, it would all be over but as she approaches the seal, Pandora already waiting for her was really well directed. Can't wait for more. |

Murajsam5673 said: Wow , Pandora just ended Regulus like hes nothing lmao , now I wonder if she is in terms of power with Reinhard , like is she stronger than him or are they equal in power Was wondering about this a long time too, but I think its either a stalemate or Reinhard win. There is no way Pandora can even harm him. PS: If you are referring to Reinhard with Reid, its a Reinhard win. I think the author said that its not possible to beat Reinhard, the best you can hope for is stalemate. He is basically the Saitama of this show. |

Also, the OPs and EDs are not only to showcase the atmosphere of anime, but also to advertise the artists who provided the songs meant for starting and closing the broadcast. So ignoring to make those are like ignoring the artists themselves. That's what I am disappointed at, not the animation itself. |

| New loli joins the fray sweet, loved when Pandora sent Regulus off, guy needs to chill a bit haha. |
 |
| Can't stand Regulus for even a few moments, his arrogance and cockiness know no bounds. Good work by Pandora there, she looks like mini Echidna tbh, just slightly less talkative and more badass |

That's what I am disappointed at, not the animation itself. This is a deep sequel, you wont he captivating anyone new with it, they will have to go see the first season with its perfect OPs and EDs :) I dont think the studio cares much about revenue here, its a given that they wont get extra revenue for the extra effort of producing extra content and/or quality. That they are still doing it, is what I appreciate the most. They either love the show too much and decided to work extra without pay, or they are simply advertising themselves or are extra paid to advetise the source material by going deeper into the story as soon as possible. The OP/ED will definitely be in the BDs, so I am pretty sure no artist will remain feeling ignored :) Also the songs feature even now, but during active content, rather than the repeatative sequences that are the OPs and EDs. WF deserve nothing but praise for what they are doing. |
| I want to write a love letter to White Fox, but this episode was frustrating. Another week of waiting is hell. 4/5 episode for torturing me like that. That Ryuzu story gonna be an important factor to saving Beako, learning about the Sanctuary, understanding a part of Echidna and Roswaal. So can't wait for that story to be fleshed out. The rest was pure madness that felt like 5 minutes, but was definitely over 20 minutes. We know now why Geuse was forced to take Sloth role. Who decides these things? They do hate Pandora though. This petite lady has a degree of paleness and chill attitude that is unsettling. Regulus is more or less like a puny complaining child to her and mom just yeeted him back to his harem(?!). If rewriting events is her power, as I guess, we are f**ked. That's too OP. She just needs some defense skills and she can do anything with a sweet expression. Bad, bad news for Subaru and co. Also now I understand why black serpent was there in Frozen Bonds . Happy days of Smolia are over! Next episode might be peak suffering, and not of Subaru for once. The wait will kill me. |

They are doing 30 min/ep of content, do u know how hard that is? White Fox is basically a dead studio, Watanabe has a such small staff and they are still managing to deliever the best they can and covering as much as they can. Tell me what could've been cut this episode? Nothing! Watanabe could just do 20 min worth of content with an OP/ED and don't give a shit about the adaptation, which basically happens to 90% of LNs adaptations. The fact he cares for what he's doing, he's pushing himself and his team to a point I never saw. They have a lot of problems, so u can have something to compare, season 1 had 9 episodes FULLY done by Studio Nexus. This time around, they don't have any help from Nexus. They are doing all by themselves with only some stuff outsourced. And they don't get extra money for that, all they get is extra work, lucky for us Watanabe is passionate. Just because it doesn't have a fucking opening/ending u can't give a good review? If u are not a troll, u really do have some problems lmao. I don't care about ur opinion, but disrespecting the work they are doing is just something unbelievable. |

| Great episode, but I feel like there's too much information packed in one episode, it's not easy to comprehend everything |
| ReZero is seriously one of the best written anime (I only know the anime) of the last few years. I love how everything is connected! :) Also, I don't care what y'all say, but Emilia has had it worse than Subaru. Sure, he's suffering a lot, but he can try to fix things. Emilia seems to have lost everything dear to her and she has no way to rewind time. Pandora is actually likeable tho, cause she just removed Regulus and he's the most annoying and pretentious character I've seen in a while lmao. |
There's no possible way you can steal my heart    I want to drown in this sweet Melancholy |
| I knew it was emotional and it was obvious that because of something Emilia did that led to that trauma but I didn't expect it to be this heavy. Next episode will most likely be more heavy as well. This season has just been too good. |
| "Even if it has good reviews, if I don't like it then it is shit" -Some random anime character |
| Excellent episode as always, the wait is worth it indeed. With that being said, how are they going to defeat a combination of King Crimson, Gold Experience Requiem, and Killer Queen? And here I thought Reinhardt is the ultimate lifeform in this show. |
Shirase-san said: Still no OP and ED Man, I'm kinda sad, when Emillia cried and Fortuna's mother left her. and Damn, it looks like Pandora is very strong, and her strength is terrible. It was at that moment our poor little Emilia-tan realized that life is not always a bed full of roses💔😭 and also that Loli witch Pandora sure playing it dirty with those invincible powers😓 |
 |
| Are the events that unfolded in this episode connected to the Memory snow OVA by any means? Means will I get any extra context and depth to these by watching it now or is it okay to pass on it? |
