THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Thread made in advance to reduce the competition for the first post and reduce spoilers.
The thread will be unlocked at 23:03 (JST) This thread is now unlocked


Concerning spoilers: Please do not confirm a theory someone has or give hints about something that happens later on. Not everyone wants their theories confirmed or denied. If you want to do so, add a spoiler to your post and I mean the entire part where you confirm or deny a theory. If you bring arguments from past episodes, you don't have to add spoiler tags. Continuously spoiling future events in an anime can be seen as trolling and can result in a warning or a ban.

A reminder of some rules:

• Do not ask where to watch or post links to copyrighted, non-fair use material.
  
• If you absolutely need to make a reference to the LN, manga, WN or something that might happen in future episodes, use spoiler tags.
  

  [spoiler]your text here[/spoiler]

  
  
• Do not only post something like "good episode". Simple phrases posts are removed without notice.
  
• Only use one screenshot. If you use more than one, your other pictures will be either put in spoilers or removed.
  
• Refrain from multi-posting consecutively. Use the edit button if necessary.
  
• Do not resort to abuse or trolling.

We finally get the payoff we've been waiting over a year for. I'm actually surprised how easy it was for them to defeat the infinite bunnies. Happy Subaru finally got recognition and became Emelia's knight. Now we just need to figure out how to wake up Rem.

As time goes on, my opinion of ReZero continues to diminish. The novelty was great at first, but its worn off and has turned into an eye rolling ordeal instead. This is thanks mostly to the horrendous dialogue that ReZero has. It's just nothing but vague platitudes and ego driven rants that borderline on psychotic because they just repeat themselves over and over again. I just can't connect with them when vague repeated nonsense is all they spout.

While ReZero does have a lot of spectacle and some good ideas, I just find it very hard to watch at times because half the time nothing means anything and Subaru just restarts and I feel as though we haven't gone anywhere. That was the issue with the first half of the second season. Luckily this half cleaned that up and it actually felt as though we were progressing.

I would say this was almost as good as the first season, but still not great. ReZero needs to learn how to better handle dialogue and its characters to make it a more compelling watch.

7/10

What was with Echidna's face...?

I'm not sure how further the LN or WN is after the end of this second season, but if it means a 3rd season will be another 3-4 years away, then so be it.

Subaru and Emilia don't seem to remember Echidna at all (calling her that woman, and Emilia didn't recognise here body last episode) - maybe due to the barrier being lifted (have I missed something?)

Shinji is also very shy, afraid of getting close to others in fear of being hurt. Shinji also matures by the end of the story, accepting humanity and its faults, deciding he will try to do what he can to get close to others. Saber tends to also be stoic, calm, with a very strong sense of justice. She eventually accepts her past, instead of trying to change it.
Kazuma is also a very direct person, to an assholeish point, a pervert, but he has some sense of moral; as he has helped other people, and one point refused to take a reward because Aqua caused trouble.

I think I should've added in my post that: a lot of the characters in Re: Zero don't have any meaningful screen time. Most of the times, when a new character is introduced, (like Emilia), they aren't developed until a much, MUCH longer time later. It's terrible writing. And the fans defend this by saying, "Well, character X will get developed eventually." Then the creator shouldn't have introduced that character to begin with, until much later. Re: Zero is not a biography; the creator was free to arrange the story however he wanted.

Or in the case of Beatrice, she's introduced all the way back in season 1, but her personality is so one note, on dimensional, and she has such little screentime (none of which I found meaningful), and she's not entertaining, that when her big dramatic scene comes in season 2, I don't care. Nor do I find most of these characters particularly entertaining to make up for their lack of complexity (like in the case of Konosuba).

Aside from Emilia, none of these characters feel like real people to me; they're either too flat, or too quirky, or both. Yet, this series tries SO hard to get me to care about them, by constantly putting their lives in danger. It's cheap.

I don't understand why fans try so hard to defend every single apperent flaw of this series. Jojo fans accept the series is VERY flawed, but still love it.



There are plenty of things others can do that knights can't; like being a doctor. Subaru is incapable of fighting properly. But even if he doesn't have to be a knight of the Royal Guard, it still is...weird.

No, you didn't miss anything. They do remember her but the anime skipped their talk about the differences.

Why so many people hating this episode even so it was good
