| Don't really see why this anime is rated so highly and people say it's super psychological oh well *shrugs* |

| Holy shit what a ride. I knew Roswaal was into some deep and dark stuff but THAT was too much. I would never expect him as the main villain of this arc. What he wants to accomplish? He surely would use the Return by Death as he pleases, and thank god he doesn’t know how to trigger it. “Love yourself” hit harder then I was expecting. Satella is… Precious? I’m not sure how to feel towards anyone in this show anymore. There’s so many questions unanswered. I can’t wait for January 2021. |

It's not a real spoiler but they might add some of it to the second cour. Cause as an anime-only I don't see any signs of this. I hope you're just joking.

| And now the gathering is complete for now all of the witches are present within the castle of dreams. Hmm even though Subaru's explosion of rage was justified Satella's calmness in taking his anger while stopping his rage was quite a sight to see. The irony of his speech is that his deaths also cause suffering to his friends as well even if they reach the future. The little infighting between the witches as they sought to aid Subaru though was pretty interesting. To them all Subaru has made quite the impact. Subaru's thanking of all the witches for all their help sure was nice to see. The Revelation about Roswaal's true face sure was quite chilling. Overall an excellent ep that combined excellent character expansion and emotional investment via the combined power of the witches and Subaru's determination to find a new way and revelations in the form of Roswaal's ever expanding villain role. If anything Otto's punch more than shows the collective frustration that Subaru's friends feel in his lack of trust in them. Can't wait to see the next cour when it airs. |

| I neither agree nor disagree, on the contrary. |
| Really got annoyed with Subaru's attitude. Otto's punch is so satisfying. Minerva best witch after Echidna. |
| Oh my god and now we have to wait for the other half oh well, at least it didn't end on a major cliffhanger! |

| Isekai Groundhog Day gets worse with every episode. :( Whaaa, I only have a super power. Shut up Shinji, go back to Crapvangelion. The witches are all retardedly ridiculous characters. This show has gotten so absurdly stupid. |

| Well I always knew Roswald was a shady muthafucker but he surpassed shady by leaps and bounds this episode! I have nothing left to give other than much anticipation for the next series! |
 To have you, Id give a billion lives A-Chan best girl |
| 400 years ago, what cause Roswaal to become like this? Echidna? |
| So Satella gave Subaru Return by Death so he can one day free/kill/save her? The confrontation between the witches was interesting. I was always thought Satella was the antagonist so it was strange seeing her tell Subaru to love himself more and to think about how others feel when he dies. Also, when Roswaal admitted he sent the assassins I had a feeling it was to sharpen/strengthen Subaru's will. It'll be interesting to see how Subaru tries to save both the Sanctuary and the mansion in the next cour. Otto with the falcon punch though! |
 |
| OTTTOOO you are the man!!!! I always figured Roswall was screwy in the head, but holy guacamole he is just as bad as Petelgeuse. Maybe even worse!!!! |
   |
| Thoroughly enjoyed this cour for the Re:Zero 2nd Season and it was worth the 4 year wait! It's interesting that the break time short hinted at what Roswaal revealed in the episode today. It'll be fun to think about how the events in the next cour is going to unfold while we wait for Winter 2021. |
| I love this series so much. I actually read the novel up to the stuff with Satella at the start of this episode so I'd been waiting for this moment where I'd see what happened right after Subaru's rendezvous with the seven witches for ages. Man it was worth the wait. Everything from the comedy, to the character exploration/development, the mystery, the world building, the symbolism as well as the additional factors of the anime like smooth animation and an incredible sound track make this series one of my absolute favourites. I want the second cour to come right now!! During the first season and even this season where I knew everything that was going to happen I've never looked forward to a weekly series as much as I have Re:zero. Whether that be anime, peak game of thrones or even anything else. The enjoyment and entertainment I get from this series is just on another level entirely. The only complaint I have is not enough Felix and that Subaru keeps thinking of Rem and Emilia but forgetting best boy >.< We better get more Felix soon ^_^ btw hope Otto is now loved by the anime community as much as I loved him while reading the novel. He's such a great guy c': |
 |
| THIS IS THE EPISODE I NEEDED IT! WITCH HAREM FOR THE WIN! Holy shit, this has to be one of my favorite episodes. I wanted to know more about the witches and now we have all seven of them in on place. I finally know now, that I don't know shit. Like man all the witches are just not normal. They're not just pure evil, but they're certainly far from good. What are they, who are they? I can't wait to find out more about them. Subaru is going through it. He realize that people do mourn his death. They his friends are sad when he dies. That he's not a tool that needs to die for others to have a better future. What he needs and what Satella wants, is him to have a future with them. Subaru needs someone to love him, like Rem, but also he needs to love him self. Damn, that was a great moment. Love how Echidna really is upset about Subaru not taking her offer. Didn't think she go so far to take away his permission. Guess she is spiteful lol. So... is Satella Emilia, or is Emilia Satella, or are they one in the same. Is Emilia the body, and Satella the soul? So many questions. Roswaal that asshole. I knew it was him, but couldn't prove it. I thought it was some logical reason to have the damn mansion attack, but no he just crazy as hell. I wonder who he met 400 years ago to make him go bat shit. Maybe he was always bat shit and the person resolved it. Just when I think Subaru has found away out of this mess it keeps getting worse and worse. This was a great part 1. Alone its really good, but definitely feels like it's missing another 12 episodes lol. Super hype for part 2! 9/10 |

foxyahoo said: I've added a spoiler tag to every mention of that in my posts, but now I wonder how will they handle this in the anime.Tappei avoided talking about the skipped dialogue from Satella on twitter, so source material readers, you better avoid talking about it unless it's tagged, because if he did that, it's because it's relevant in the future. He usually talks about the things the anime will never show, if he avoided doing it, it's because it will be revealed later. |
 |
| I really feel like some people here don't even watch the episode but just rush to make a comment. Like this thing they said: Anyway I liked that first cour. Can't wait for the second part. |
 |
| Didn't expect the Witches to actually save Subaru (some of them, at least). Sure, they did for their own goals, but it was still a sweet gesture coming from characters with so bad fame. Also, what's the deal with Satella? From what I got from the episode, she seeks death, and is using Subaru for that motive, and her personality doesn't seems like the murderous force of nature from previous episodes. I want to know more about her, but I doubt that will happen anytime soon. The Roswaal reveal that he contracted Elsa and Meyli to attack the mansion was chilling, but not that surprising if you remember how he murdered Ram and Garfiel in cold blood some episodes ago. The dude is so obssessed with achieving whatever goal he has that he's willing to cross every boundary in order to mold Subaru into his liking. Koyasu's voice acting was brilliant as always. Otto is a serious candidate for bro of the year. Subaru was so lucky of befriending someone as great as him. Patrasche also best girl. And so it ends. Bye, bye for now, Re: Zero, this half of the second season was good and better than the first season so far (which I also liked), hopefully the second half also delivers. See you back in January ;) |
 |
| This season has been quite the wild ride, topped off by that intense conversation between Roswaal and Subaru. Lol it was nice of Otto to punch the fuck out of Subaru to try and snap him back into reality. Another solid season of Re:zero in the books, it's a shame we have to wait for the rest when this probably would have run for 2 consecutive cours if it wasn't for the whole COVID shit. Oh well, looking forward to the rest of it in January. |
| People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime. Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait. |
| The night talk when Subaru meet her wandering. nickelzzzz said: Roswaal wants Subaru to became the same as he - to sacrifice everything for one goal. You're not supposed to know (yet) what Roswaal goal is. For Subaru it should be Emilia.Can someone explain what the deal with Roswaal is? Maybe I missed a detail or two and I need to rewatch some of the scenes where he talks with Subaru, but I don't understand his intentions at all. Maybe I'm not supposed to yet, or is he just evil for the sake of being evil? |
|
| I feel ripped off. That didn't solve a thing besides finally finding out what's-his-face ordered the attack on the mansion because he wanted to "perfect Natsuki" And now no idea when this stuff will continue again cuz CoVid screwing up the timing of everything. Like seriously, I see people saying this is going to continue in Jan but I would be surprised if this wasn't delayed. And jeez Natsuki I know dying multiple times is painful but did season 1 not teach you anything? Everything you experience is a clue.... I've yet to see him try out that "passphrase" on Beatrice for one. And then Echidna gave a clue about getting Garfield out of the Sanctuary...though that's harder than it sounds...Hmmm.... It's a like an Escape puzzle but we can't see the solution till 3-4 months later... RIP memory...and RIP my hair till I pull it all out in frustration or forget about this anime --whatever comes first PS: Otto is strangely...liking Natsuki the more the loop gets repeated....I'm finding this strangely suspicious for some reason... |

| damn i really like Satella, even though she just like Emilia v.2 all the witches actually care for Subaru tho, such a heartwarming scene the whole scene with Roswall was crazy, no wonder Subaru goes insane after hear what Roswall said finger cross for part 2, i hope for more Satella in the next part |

_f said: people saying its psychologicalDon't really see why this anime is rated so highly and people say it's super psychological oh well *shrugs*  |
| Seeing Subaru suffering was a beautiful sight to see. It was very satisfying. Can't wait to see him suffer even more. 6/10 |

| Wowee, so it was Roswaal the whole time! And all the witches are all based |
 |
PendragonX1 said: The episode starts with Subaru breaking into a million pieces again as usual at this point. My question is how did he actually kill himself here their nothing that he did before to prepare to do it and it suddenly happens. I am assuming he did something in the LN but here he literally falls to the ground dead and IDK why. He bit off his tongue. That’s a pretty common way to kill yourself in fiction, dunno about real life though |
MuraragiKoyomi said: It's quite long but the highlight is that Subaru is shocked after the talk with Roswaal, so Emilia hugs him to help him calm down. Then Subaru says that he wants to do something so Emilia would not have to take the trials, because he does not want her to suffer. Emilia answers that she decided by herself to do the trails and that she is determined to pass them.what do they talk about? MuraragiKoyomi said: It wasn't stated in the LN either but I think he does not see Satella as an enemy right now.also does satella hide her face so that subaru doesnt get scared when he sees emilia again |
|
| Roswall is the biggest piece of shit in the series so far. More then Echidna, more then Satella, more then anyone. Even the assassins. THEY'RE JUST DOING THEIR JOBS! Roswall is GARBAGE!!! Echidna being spiteful taking Subaru's qualifications away from him. I love it lol. Satella being actually fucking adorable. When Subaru approached Satella and told her he didn't understand her as she had tears in her eyes. God damn what a scene. AND HE PROMISED TO SAVE HER!!!! God damn this was a great episode. Sucks the 2nd cour will now be in Winter 2021. =( 10/10 |

| I predicted Roswaal was the one forcing the checkmate situation. Roswaal is pretty obvious here. He wants Subaru to make the pact with Echidna to bring the perfect future. I'm not sure if Subaru can do anything against his will. |
