@Mich666 Gosh you are insane dude. As I said before you should stop watching it jesus christ
| @DirtyOldGuy So by your definition, there shouldn't be any critique here? Even if you think the episode was awesome there would still be people who find it a bit lacking. Just for the info, I'm watching this anime based on expections I had from previous parts. And I had high hopes for this season. But so far I find this new plot or new villains pretty lacking. Also, I explained why this episode didn't do much to me. The pacing was way too fast, deaths lacked usual depth, action overshadowed the plot and creative approach was missing. Your response, on the other hand, added exactly nothing to this discussion. |

@MajoTenshi I wonder how old he is. I realized he just keep watching and being here just to ruin others enjoyments only because his favorite girl is in coma. That's totally a childish reason to hate a show.
| @DirtyOldGuy lol, if this can ruin the fun for you, you have bigger problem with yourself that I thought :D I just didn't find this episode special even though I came to it with open mind, that's all. And these are public forums so you should learn to expect people with different backgrounds, experiences and opinions here. I also like how every Re:Zero fanboy uses Rem as argument when they have none. I could go hours explaining why she was actually one who saved Suburu, how Minase Inori with her talent elevated her character to godly heights and why S1 episode 18 was actually peak cinematography even though they spent it all on just conversation but those words would be most likely wasted on you. Similiarly, S2 was good - but it was exactly because they spent most of the time on character developement. It actually had the good pacing even though the tempo was slow. I don't need an action to see plot moving forward. Also, I'm probably a lot older than you if you have to ask. So just keep having your fun and enjoy your flawless show. |

| @Mich666 Rem fanboy instead complaining about Re:Zero. Go complain about the shows in your favorites which has like 50 plot holes. Your waifu is nothing compared to huge cast of Re:Zero. Rem is not even Top50 character in Re:Zero novels. |

| The OP FUCKS. Reweave is def one of the best re zero ops, might be my fave I’ll have to listen to everything again but that Priscilla shot is craaaazy. Yea white fox cooked today just as I knew they would. Episode 1 was already insane but they really did the loops justice. It’s clear they’re coming with a renewed sense of energy and creativity to this season and it’s showing in everything from designs, to direction, to action, to audio quality and beyond. This episode showed just how crazy a threat Sirius is. Even if she’s not the most physically imposing enemy, her authority makes her a massive challenge and I think this finally shuts up the “why doesn’t he just ask Reinhard for help” crowd 😂 it’s not as simple as just throwing brute strength at a problem, and even if he redid things with Shamac, wouldn’t work because of Reinhard sucking up all the mana. She ended up getting captured in the end, but having Emilia fight Sirius was the best option because it(even though Subaru didn’t know it would) threw her off her game and concentration. Now we know going forward it’s her composure or lack thereof that is the weakness. Speaking of that Emilia fight man holy shit they cooked. Everything got a buff this season including the action and storyboarding it seems. Straight chills, everyone knows I’m an Emilia hater but respect where it’s due she’s come a long way and not only held her own but had Sirius on the back foot and looked bad ass doing it. Fair play to her. Ended right where I thought it would and with that the arc is properly set up. Time to save Emilia and the city from the witch’s cult. Can’t fucking wait. The ED is INSANEEE. Oh my goodness. |

| Yes Subaru dying (3 times in 10 minutes) my favourite entertainment. That 2nd death was brutal. OP and ED both seemed great. This episode was way too good better than 1st one for sure. Emilia cooked today. Idk why Subaru doesn't trust her and try to keep her in a cage but ironically he was proven right. As always everyone hates on Emilia for whatever reasons. Sirius rather than being at angry at her husbend's(which I assume is Betelguse) murderer Subaru and the actual women Emilia's aunt?(which died years ago) who tried to "seduce" him. Emilia gave her a good beating until got cheated. Regeulus will be way more harder obstacle. |
| Gosh dang man. Talk about this Wrath witch being super different. Like wow. Then that ending. Oh my lord. That is not good. Not good at all. |
| I had to watch the episode again because the 2nd death was censored on Muse. And wow. That shit was graphic AF. The black-and-white filter on Muse really didn't do it justice, unfortunately. So those who are like me and watched the episode on Muse first then please rewatch it or at least watch that scene again. It might just be the most gruesome on-screen death yet, which makes me look forward to future deaths in the series even more. ;) And Idk how I forgot to say this in my original comment but Chika Anzai killed it as Sirius. She did not have to go this hard. I remember reading somewhere that after Yoshitsugu Matsuoka killed it with his role as Petelgeuse some people worried about voicing other Sin Arch Bishops cause they may not be able to live up to his insane performance. I wonder if that was the reason Sirius' VA is Chika Anzai and not I think Ice said that this was a "low-priority" episode. If this episode was supposed to be "low-priority" I wonder how good "high-priority" episodes will look. The production value of Season 3 has been insanely good and might even surpass Season 1's animation. Us Re:ZERO fans aren't eating good, we're feasting. We don't know just how good we have it right now. |
| Jeez, the grind is back for Subaru and this is not going to be easy. Dare I say, this might be the most challenging, considering Emilia is involved and up to three or four Witches of Cult. Jojo Ops with sound effects? Get that out of here, Emilia's hard work really shined through in that fight! I definitely wasn't expecting that but it was very welcome indeed. Op & ED, a lot more intense and eventful that I imagined it'd be. A lot of action to come so this makes me happy once again knowing that there'll be a break in between and no rushed content or anything like that. Take the time you need and give us another blast, that's all I'm asking for. |

Well I one of them. I prefer MT other ReZero, because:
- MT has intelligent protag. Subaru is pretty stupid for the reason of the plot or whatnot.
- ReZero has typical shonen fights where in MT fights have consequences
- ReZero characters love to talk even midfight which is usually out of place
- ReZero has a lot of sexualization. I'm not a prim, but it just feels out of place. Like why Bard girl and Witch Cultist girl have only panties and bra on them?
The interesting part of re-zero was Subaru growth through sufferring, but from what I've heard it's essentially ended and now 2 arcs of pure fightings await us.
But anyway, I'm here and I will be watching ReZero. So there is no problem in enjoying both
| @lessfull I know it's a waste of time changing opposing side's opinion, so this post is mostly for the other readers to see. 1. Rudy make almost as much stupid decision that he regrets too, and he's literally like 50 years old (adding his past life age). Basically he live like a man child literally, and use his age to take advantage of young girls. Don't get me started Rudy is cheating too cuz he's guided by the Man God, otherwise he'd make even more mistakes that he regret in his early part of life. 2. How is REZERO fight has no consequence? Subaru cant choose his check point, that's why he loses Rem. Also yeah, no consequence huh, waiting for later part of the season and all the future plot) 3. How is REZERO fight like typical shonen fight, like Demon Slayer? Look at how fast everything is paced in terms of fight sequence compare to all the other shonen like Demon Slayer which the characters literally just chatting/ having inner monologues for 5 mins, and having long flashback right in the middle of the fight. 4. LMAO Rezero too much sexualization huh? From a fan of Jobless Incarnation, REALLY? REZERO latest season doesn't even give us fan-service for the hot spring scene for the female character. Meanwhile Jobless literally showcase how Roxy NTR Sylphy, showcasing multiple hot sex scene (they'd probably show the full sequence too in the Blue-Ray version). Not to mention Rudy fixation on female's panty , constantly worshiping/ smelling them . Don't get me started Jobless literally has a female character that get cursed that if she doesn't has sex constantly , she'd die. Setting-wise it make sense, but do the author really need to make the requirement = sex? Not really, but author choose to in favour of sexalization. And the studio does not shy away from showcasing all the "fun time" she has in the anime because they know that's what people want to watch = sexualization. |

| Very good episode. The ed is amazing too |
 |
| not only the great fight scenes, but this episode conveyed how FAR these characters have come. Emilia, Betty and Subaru's growth shown in this episode made me even tear up a bit Shows how great the writing of this series is. |
 |
| It certainly didn't take long at all for the next 2 deaths to come, be that by hanging and by Reinhard being who he is. We're now in (maybe) the good one with the aid of Beatrice and Emilia who has certainly glowed in her battle against the archbishop of wrath. Nonetheless, as things never go well for Subaru it seems that Regulus is here to take her. We'll see how far things go but this is certainly big stakes. Also, good opening song once it sets in. Much in the vibe of the other ones from the series. |

| I couldn’t really get why she was Wrath with the way she was laughing all the time. And then Emilia showed up… Subaru cannot catch a break. Died twice and now he’s getting NTR’ed. I foresee a lot of anguish for him in the future too. |

| I dont know whats the bigger surprise, this EP having an OP and ED without even beeing over 30 minutes long Or Emilia actually doing something without literally beeing forced to After the calm year in ep1, the situation is worse than ever before. We have 2 OP Sin Archbishops, including Greed. Reinhard is literally build different lmao After binging through S1, S2 and the movie I forgot how painful it is to wait for a new ep each week..

| probably the only episode in re zero history im disappointed in, more details to discuss here: https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=2183434 |

| Why are people so insecure regarding others liking something? The moment you criticize desperately with your only ground being affected by praise of others, you lose all credibility. Sometimes I wish Re:Zero was unpopular and there we are... just a bunch of chill guys analysing stuff in the episode that matter... Like 1. How does Priscilla'a intuition work? 2. Why did Reinhard fight Sirius mid-air? 3. If Sirius knew Regulus' plan, was she even fighting Emilia properly? Anyway, goes to show discussion thread should be renamed to "rant" thread. |
